How Gay Test Find ‘Heterosexuality’

Heterosexuality Was Abnormal?

The first rebuttal to the claim that heterosexuality was invented usually involves an appeal to reproduction:

It seems obvious that different-genital intercourse has existed for as long as humans have been around – indeed.

We wouldn’t have survived this long without it. But this rebuttal assumes that heterosexuality is the same thing as reproductive intercourse.

It isn’t.“Sex has no history,” writes queer theorist David Halperin at the University of Michigan, because it’s “grounded in the functioning of the body.” Sexuality, on the other hand, precisely because it’s a “cultural production,” does have a history.

In other words, while sex is something that appears hardwired into most species, the naming and categorizing of those acts, and those who practise those acts, is a historical phenomenon, and can and should be studied as such or put another way:.

There have always been sexual instincts throughout the animal world (sex). But at a specific point in time, humans attached meaning to these instincts (sexuality).

When humans talk about heterosexuality, we’re talking about the second thing.
