- Question:
-
- If sexual acts between two people of the same sex are not called
- homosexual, then how do we distinguish between so-called straight sex
- and so-called homosexual sex?

- Yes, I am descriminating because there are differences.
- There is oral sex, etc. Also, thousands of positions.
-
- So, what's wrong with distinguishing same sex intercourse as
- homosexual? If there is a problem, then let's give it
- another name.

- (Personally, I call it disgusting. But, that is merely my opinion;
- no matter how unenlightened.)
