Just need to let everyone know: There was a TIME WHEN HETEROSEXUALITY was considered Perverted and was oppressed:
The Early Victorian Era, the Ideal was "True Love" a type of male-female romances that LACKED the aspect of sexuality. Sex was seen as a bad thing in general, sexual pleasure was a forbidden sin, and sex's only purpose was to pro create. They were not allowed to have sex for any other reason, and men and women were punished for even masturbating !
This occured between years 1820-1860.
Think about it for a second: Men and Women could not have sex in PEACE, they had the constant fear that what they were doing was demonic and they were taught to feel guilty for enjoying orgasms and sexual pleasure in general.
Any sex that occured without the intention OR result of pro creation not only warranted a "bad reputation" among men and women, but could have also gotten them punished by Law !
In the LATE Victorian Era, sex started to become defined differently. Over time the body began to be seen as something to gain pleasure from, instead of just something to create the next generation. "The Pursuit of Happiness" became the acceptable justification for embarking on sexual pleasure.
There was a time, a short time, where the erotic industy emerged and ALL KINDS of sexual explosions occured: "normal" sexual stimuli as well as "abnormal" or "kinki" sexual stimuli, all in the name of pleasure. There was no "natural" or standard" sex in this tiny era, sex was seen for pleasure.
Then the rise of Medical Doctors and Aristocratic influence began to define sexuality into a dichomoty: The Heterosexual and the Homosexual.
At first the Heterosexual was used to define a person who had sexual impulses for both sexes, and the Homosexual was meant to define a person "with the mentality of the opposite sex"
THEN, as scientific and religious debate occurred, Heterosexual began to be defined as a person who only desired the opposite sex....while homosexual was RE defined as a person who craved the SAME SEX...any person who was attracted to both sexes was labeled "psycho-sexual hermaphrodite" only to be called Bisexual about a century later.
Finally, due to religious and personal scientific bias, the idea of a "MASTER SEX" began to emerge. This occured after the idea of a "MASTER RACE" was shunned from social acceptance. To create a "Master Sex" was an easier way to keep one class down and the other upward, because sex is universal among all races.
Around 1901, the HETEROSEXUAL became the MASTER SEX, the privelaged, the "Norm". Different from the Victorian ideal, the one time "PERVERT"archetype became the "Healthy" ideal, and the Homosexual became the NEW PERVERT.
