Chapter 35 The Gay Experiments of the Sixteenth Summer

"Last summer, I performed one of the most important experiments of my life," one of my patients, Ramon, told me. "An important experiment?" Whenever I don't understand what my patient is saying, I simply repeat what he just said. "Yes, an important experiment." Ramon repeated with his head down, he seemed to hesitate to speak. "What experiment?" "Homosexual experiment." Ramon replied softly. "how do you feel?" "Pretty good." "Are you still dating girls?" "No la." "Do you want to think about it now?"

"Maybe when I have money." Ramon sighed. Ramon's father separated from his mother when he was 3 months old.Ramon was later raised by his mother alone.He said his mother was very strict with him, beating him every now and then, but he didn't hate his mother.Because, he thought it was the tradition of their nation, he said he hated his mother for making unforgivable mistakes in many other things.As Ramon explains his relationship with his mother, a basic relationship archetype emerges clearly. A boy is under the pressure of a strict mother in the absence of a father prototype. The boy's masculinity will naturally be damaged to some extent, and his yearning for women will also bear a heavy shadow because of the strictness of his mother. , Ramon, who grew up with this early relationship, naturally had homosexual tendencies.Ramon conducted his homosexuality as an experiment, proving that homosexuality is an acquired behavior pattern that can be learned.

I took away a very important concept from Ramon's case: that a person can be taught to be gay.When we admit that homosexuality is a behavior that can be learned, there is a very interesting corollary: there is another kind of homosexual behavior that can be learned besides the heterosexual model that we thought were innately sacrosanct We can "instinctively" oppose homosexuality because of the deep-rooted heterosexual ethics; but if you are willing to temporarily abandon heterosexual ethics and let yourself temporarily enter a game space, then you will find that what you thought was "instinctively" The aversion to homosexuality may also be the result of acquired learning.In a society where heterosexuality is the main axis, we have learned to hate homosexuality "instinctively".When we realize that our dislike of homosexuality may not necessarily be instinctive, then the possibility of homosexuality in the real world will be greatly improved.It is undeniable that in recent years, the proportion of homosexuality in the total number of human beings has quietly increased.In the face of such an undeniable form of human existence, simply rejecting and denying homosexuality will gradually become an unwise and outdated concept.

Ah, this world is really strange. My analysis in the above paragraph unexpectedly came to such a conclusion that the majority of homophobic people hate.I can only say sorry, sometimes the logic of this world really does not depend on people's will. Since a psychologist can change from heterosexuality to homosexuality, and a man who was scared of being beaten by his mother can successfully become homosexual after a summer vacation, we naturally have to ask, can homosexuality change back to heterosexuality?Logically there should be no problem.
