Aaand with statements like this, you're relinquishing any semblance of a valid argument you could hope to have. Calling aversion a biological impulse tells me you never studied Science past Year 11. It's a psychological impulse actually - and they are biologically wired to habit, not genetics. The pride you take in your phobia is what's really concerning.
Sexuality is instinctive at a biological level, yes. But are you aroused at the sight of two hetersexuals kissing? No. So should you be 'instinctively' uncomfortable at the sight of two gays kissing?
You're pretty much beyond help at this point because it seems your somewhat of a contrarian who likes to take a different view - you're proud of your phobia so simply exposing yourself to gay affection is obviously out the question. Children growing up with the TV of today won't have the same problem you do because they're more acclimatised to seeing gay PDA, thankfully. Hopefully Big Brother can join the ranks of those shows sooner than later.
Call it whatever you want, it's neither here nor there.
The crux of the matter is I don’t choose to be attracted to the opposite sex or the type of girl that I go for lookswise. Not that I’m aware of anyway; it’s all inherent I believe . By the same token I don’t have any control on what I find nauseating and the physical responses associated with them such as fear of heights, seafood, fluids excreted by the human body etc..
You on the other hand seem pretty confident that these responses are not totally involuntarily on my part and that there’s at some level a deliberate decision by me to respond in that manner. If that’s case than maybe some form of hypnotherapy is on the cards to rid myself of it these phobias because I genuinely don’t remember ever having a choice in the matter.
