Notes de l'éditeur
- Several theories have emerged regarding the cause of homosexuality with the three most debated being the Choice Theory, The Genetic Determination Theory and the possession by a Demonic Spirit Theory.The choice Theory focuses on the idea that people make a choice to be homosexual, there is no biological reason for this choice and the professionals need to provide moral education to deter this choice. The question with this theory that it remains unfounded forwho would choose a life of hardship and discrimination. People can not choose their feelings. Then there is the Genetic Determination Theory, which is working towards finding the gay gene that most professionals believe that the answer to homosexuality is in the biology.
- Seize the moment. When a TV program or music video raises issues about responsible sexual behavior, use it as a springboard for discussion. Remember that everyday moments — such as riding in the car or putting away groceries — sometimes offer the best opportunities to talk.Be honest. If you're uncomfortable, say so — but explain that it's important to keep talking. If you don't know how to answer your teen's questions, offer to find the answers or look them up together.Be direct. Clearly state your feelings about specific issues, such as oral sex and intercourse. Present the risks objectively, including emotional pain, sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy. Explain that oral sex isn't a risk-free alternative to intercourse.Consider your teen's point of view. Don't lecture your teen or rely on scare tactics to discourage sexual activity. Instead, listen carefully. Understand your teen's pressures, challenges and concerns
