Questions about Were-Bears

Last year I emailed a gentleman about the homosexual links to were-bears and the reasons behind it as I was working on a character for a comic-book story that had a were-bear as one of the main character’s.
I had a very interesting response back which gave me lots of ideas.

Here is the original email I sent him and the reply back -

Hi,

I hope you don't mind me asking this question of you, but why does the Were-Bear link itself to Gays?
I'm only asking as I'm a budding Comic-book writer and I'm designing a were-bear character for my book
and I Googled the name, and I came upon your site - Papa Were-Bear Stories.

My character is going to be from a mythical race of bear like humanoids that I have named The Wood Walkers, and I've not thought about his sexual prefence.

I hope you can help me with my question,
All the best.

============================================================

Hmmm...

Good question Jason!

There really isn't an answer... I suppose.

I suppose there could be straight or bi were-bears but in my mind, in the universe I've made, offspring of a straight or bi were-bear and an ordinary human female would be carriers of the genes that make were-bears possible, but not be were-bears themselves. The female offspring would be carriers and the male offspring would be potential were-bears. Of course a were-bear mating with a female carrier are going to have male children that, upon reaching puberty, begin to transform.
The male child of a female carrier and an ordinary human male could have a child whose genes are activated by another were-bear male. They become 'expressed' because of his contact with other transformed were-bears and then the 'potential' were-bear becomes a 'transformed' were-bear.
Perhaps, you could have hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of 'potential' were-bears out there who don't transform because they've never encountered a transformed male to activate their genes.
It would be interesting to think that the beefy hairy gay men that form 'Bear' groups are some of those 'inactivated' were-bears and they unconsciously are seeking out a male to activate their genes, thus they're attracted to big hairy gruff men. :D)
This isn't exactly the way it is in my universe because I don't want to get too technical with it. The were-bears themselves don't know. It's a mystery I'd like to leave unwritten to let the reader speculate and think of 'why' on their own.


After all, weren't you just a tad disappointed when Lucas came up with that Midicholrian bullshit he pulled out of his ass to explain why some are more in tune with The Force than others? I liked it better when it was 'unknown'. It was mystical and that's sorta the way I want my were-bears to be. If you explain it, it takes a LOT of the wonder out of it.

I suppose the reason my Were-bears are gay or bi is that the thought of making love with an anthropomorphic bear kinda turns me on. I'm sure there are those out there that get turned on by werewolves and other 'shifters'. Certainly people are sexually attracted to vampires, witness the hoards of 'Sparkly Vampire' fans. :D)
For me, it's just something about the idea of being gently held in the arms of a strong bearish male and being made to feel safe by him. Feeling all that power clothed in soft fur and padded with a layer of bear fat.

I'm writing for me and you should write for you, because if it doesn't make you happy, it's not worth making. Satisfy yourself, others who are of like mind will follow and enjoy your work.
So, when you write your stories, write them as you see fit. Create you own universe with your own ideas of how were-bears or ursans or ursanoids should be. Give them the full range of sexuality, straight, bi and gay if that is what you want. Place stigmas about sexuality or don't. After all, at various times and places on this world being a member of the minority sexuality wasn't looked down on. It's rare, but it has happened. Humans tend to discriminate against that which is not the majority. We notice and are mostly afraid of that which is different (as a species not as individuals, mind you). It's sad, but true.

Good luck and I hope to see your comic for sale because even if the Bear-men aren't having hot male to male bear sex, I'm still going to enjoy the story if it's a good one.

Hugs!
Papa

It was a very nice response back and has helped me with some ideas that I have.

Celebrity Big Brother UK 2011

The Ultimate reality TV show returned in a blaze of glory on a brand new TV channel and sporting a brand new presenter.
Brian Dowling, himself a former contestant of BB and Ultimate BB has now become the new presenter replacing the delicious Davina McCall.
And after over a decade being shown on Channel 4, it has now moved to the new home of Channel 5, with a bigger budget and a massive advertising campaign.

CBB will be shown over the next three weeks and then have a ten week run with normal (?) housemates.

The following celebrity housemates are -

Kerry Katona - Media Personality.
Tara Reid - Actress.
Paddy Doherty - Former bare-knuckle fighter.

Sally Bercow - Wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons.
Lucien Laviscount - Actor.
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff - Actress.

Jedward - John & Edward are a musical duo.

It is an interesting bunch of celebrity’s and there are some that I like and some that I don’t.
I am hoping that Jedward wins the show as I really do like them and I don’t find them annoying like some people do.

LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER

Memory was something you lost with age......
An application was for employment....
A program was a TV show....
A cursor used profanity...
A keyboard was a piano...
A web was a spider's home...
A virus was the flu...
A hard drive was a long trip on the road...
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived...
And if you had a 3 inch floppy...
well, you just hoped nobody found out!!!!
