Alternate Sexuality- Frowned Upon, Yet a Part of Our Society

Is alternative sexuality a disease? At a time when the world has embraced it with heart, would it entirely wrong to consider it a disease? Many parts of our society still refrain from accepting it. In that case, should it be treated as an infectious disease?

And if it is, how can one be treated from Alternate Sexuality?


We will deal with the issue pragmatically from various angles. Let’s proceed.


Sex has always been talk of the town. Some say ‘Sex sells’, some say ‘It energizes’, some say “it requires experimentation” and some say ‘It’s divine’. We suppose that when ‘Vatsyayana’ composed ‘Kamasutra’, he wouldn’t have ever thought that his creation would be interpreted in numerous ways. Indian Civilization was the first to come up with diverse aspects of sex, and the presentation made it more appealing globally. As sources say, “In ancient era sex was taught as a subject because it had an objective.” This line may astonish you but is a fact! The way we treat sex at present is in completely contrast to what was treated in the ancient era. At that point in time, sex was treated as a divine activity because it wasn’t only for physical satisfaction or to lure someone. Sex, mingled with mental & physical satiation, works wonders.


Depiction of sexuality keeps on changing time to time, and these days a new terminology is in fad ‘Alternate Sexuality’. This is no taboo and it doesn’t sound weird too because people have matured with the passage of time. The acceptance of alternate sexuality is exponentially high. Though, a question arises, “What’s alternate sexuality all about?” Having spoken to people from different class and with adequate research work, we come to the conclusion that in sex when a person tries something out of the box, and that too clandestinely; we refer it as alternate sexuality.


Alternate sexuality is multifaceted. Alternate sexuality consists of different orientations like Bi-sexuals, Homosexuals, Cross-Dresser, and ,now, a new term has been derived ‘Bi-Curious’. People seek various alternatives to quench their thrust, and the availability of resources makes it easily accessible. In big cities, socializing with people can give you a glimpse of alternate sexuality. Heterosexuals are the most unpredictable species of mammal class because their moods swing like anything. Despite indulgence in sexual activities with females, they for seek pleasure with males. They don’t divulge it easily because it’s the hidden desire, which forces them to do so. One of the spokespersons has shared his views, he says,”What’s the harm in experimenting? Male to male chemistry can also be considered and who cares? I am doing it for fun. I sexually happy with me girl friend but it’s my bi-Curious nature, which impels me to enjoy alternate sexuality.” Sound bizarre?


Youngsters are rushing towards metros for career and exposure. Many of them try their luck in sex business; it promises them plethora of money and clandestine social networking work wonders for them in the entire scenario. If you look good, communicative, approachable, and are ready for night-outs to socialize then you are among the ‘fortunates’. People keep seeking alternatives for sexual pleasure and the trapped youngsters gradually realize that it is difficult to get rid of this abnormal lifestyle, which offers them money and sex.


Homosexuals are extensively sensitive species of mammal class. As far as researches, sources, and gay people are concerned, they have never been treated fairly. General mass is quite opinionated about this community. You get mixed and weird reactions when you talk about homosexuals. Some say ‘They behave like sissy’ on the contrary people believe that guys who are misogynist are gay. Some label them as kinky, queer, happy, and brightly colored people. This causes inferiority complex and depression, even if they want to come out of the closet; they can’t because acceptance isn’t there. Biologically, it has been proved that some people are born gay and some have feminine behavior due to some syndrome or disorder. Having known all these facts, bi-sexual and bi-curious still want to take roller a costar ride, after all it’s the question of alternate sexuality.


At times, I personally feel that alternative sexuality gives many things to a common man, like money, sexual satisfaction, exposure to the third world, access to your desired resources, and again an alternative to get new opportunity. More or less person compromises with his morals to allow the growth of alternate sexuality because something which is unnatural, often, is unethical. Whatever you call it- modernization, exposure, personal urge, experimentation or avaricious nature- many, who had only wanted to experiment or fell a prey to a trap, tries to get out of the new found life. But, by then, he is unable to mould himself again. It requires a lot of grit and courage, along with requisite guidance.


Alternate sexuality does not come out as a disease. But there are many who wish to dispense with it. Now, whom should they look up to?

Probably, hypnotherapy.


Welcome to the series! We shall come up with the second post to take a step ahead.

Hypnotherapy For Sports

In today’s world of competitive sports every means that is scientific, effective and legal, is adopted quickly as an essential exercise. Hypnotherapy was not an exception, as the benefits were huge when amassed. It includes enabling the athlete to remain calm under pressure, maintain focus and eliminate
distractions, improve mental stamina and increase endurance, ease pre-competition nerves, as well as improve the athlete's attitude and motivation. Such advantages were clearly evident after incorporating hypnotherapy as part of an athlete’s training program.

In the usual context, the relation of hypnotherapy with sports is not highly visible. But it came into existence long back. The Soviet Olympic team has used it for years and the success quickly made the other teams to incorporate hypnotherapy as their elite training with great results. During the 1978 tour to Australia, the England cricket team captain Mike Brearley was helped greatly by a medical hypnotherapist. In the UK, WBC Heavyweight Champion Frank Bruno and WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nigel Benn both employed hypnosis in order to perform their best. In his 1996 WBO Super Middleweight title fight, Chris Eubank was defeated by Steve Collins who attributed much of the victory to the fact that he had used hypnosis in his mental preparation for the fight. Most eminently, hypnotherapy is associated with the success story of champion golfer Tiger Woods. It was introduced to him by his mental coach Jay Brunza when he was only 13 years old. As stated by him: 'We worked on a way to visualize the target and pull it back into my hands and body and let my subconscious react. That's what's best for me.' He also included - 'It is inherent in what I do now’.

By its ability to explore the power of the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy has helped many great athletes to achieve great results. Everyone can learn self-hypnosis to impart the value of hypnotherapy in his career or hobby. By harnessing the power of this powerful tool, your will-power can enable anyone in the field of sports to improve his/her performance. The largest share of sportspeople coming to find help from hypnotherapy is of those who want to improve at golf. However, varied benefits can be achieved by using this method in any sports training program. Anyone can learn simple hypnosis techniques for : 

• Mental imagery and future rehearsal of success (including effective techniques from areas like NLP). 
• Focusing on success, strategy (how to get into the success zone when you need to). 
• Overcoming mental blocks and barriers. 
• Reinforcing self-belief, motivation and positive thinking.

The athlete or mental coach uses words such as 'Entering The Zone' or 'Creative Visualization' very often. What this really means is that the athlete is enabled to access and work directly with the subconscious mind that is the powerhouse of beliefs and driver of abilities, in order to program it for success. Even if you want to be at the top of your game, use Hypnotherapy to become more of a winner.
