I disagree with you simply for the reason that understanding a feeling is not the same thing as feeling it. Honestly, it seems to me like you're overcomplicating the issue a little by assuming that everyone reacts the same way to their culture. By understanding the situation, you are proving that people can rise above it simply by using their heads. Sexual desire is a natural thing and I don't see much point in having people try to alter the way they percieve it, whether it's the culture they were born into doing it, or they themselves because they want to free themselves from that culture.

sexuality is a natural thing, sexual desire is learned from culture. no one was attracted to anorexic women with breast implants until culture started teaching people it was sexual. different cultures all have different things they find as sexual.

What's the difference between "sexuality" and "sexual desire" then? The desire to mate is one of the most important instincts in a mammal and we all have it. It's as natural as you can get. If that's not "sexual desire," I don't know what is.

It's the object of sexual desire that is in question, not the fact that the desire exists.

Or we work on changing the face of heterosexuality. I never thought of things that way because I always communicate how attractive I find my partner to him, though I've noticed through his reactions and what he's told me that I get the feeling other women don't necessarily do this so much. They expect to be told these things but not have to reciprocate so much. That's silly. It's fun to compliment my fluffum. I highly suggest it... but not my fluffum because I'll beat you up ^_~

I guess to be honest I haven't thought about whether guys think about their own desirability. It seems like such a given to me. I think that's what I have been taught by society and the media to do my entire life. Well, maybe not. I think that girls are taught to wish they were desirable but never actually find themselves desirable. such as when you look at another girl you are not supposed to find her desirable. you are supposed to wish that men would find you as desirable as they find her, or wish that other girls would wish they were as desirable as you are ( ... )

How will being homosexual or bisexual help? Yes you could come to feel desire for your self but only like another man could, does a homosexual man feel for men the same way women feel for a man? I kind of doubt it.

Meh, don't mind me. I'm not exprienced enough to say much.
