More from Wayne Besen:

In an answer to comments on his "Bisexuality is bullshit" column:

Sexuality is not complex, as is often said. You either get it up, or you don't. It is really one of the simpler things in life.

Sadly, what is complex is the metnal contortions, cognitive games and unhealthy neurotic walls people build to avoid acknowledging that their attraction may put them at risk for discrimination.

If your sexuality is "complex", see a shrink - because it should be rather easy to figure out what turns you on or off. It is a biological reaction, not rocket science.

My response:

As a gay man trying to live the straight lifestyle I was married from 1990 to 1996 and involved in the ex-gay movement for most of that time. I had a functional sexual relationship with my wife. I got it up. I didn't have to think about men in order to do so, despite the fact that I was primarily attracted to men. Since coming out in 1996 I have known many men who considered themselves gay but had fathered children the traditional way. Obviously they got it up for women, too.

I've been recommending your column for a while because I admire your work to discredit the ex-gay movement. But reading these comments, that sexuality is so simple, I question whether you understand what you're writing about. I'm glad it has been so simple and straightforward for you, but you can't assume everyone's experience is the same.
