Sexuality

[Bridge]

There is a such thing as natural talent, but I'm not sure I would describe it in sexuality. It sounds awkward when you apply that word into sex. Being whatever sexuality you are is indeed a choice; saying it is not would be suggesting somebody will chop your head off and put it in somebody's salad if you aren't. Some people just get turned on with the same gender naturally, but being a sexuality is a decision. In the end, you are the one deciding who you want to passionately love.

Now I want to go off-topic and discuss talent. Natural talent best relates to sports; a talent is a special natural ability and a capacity for achievement or success. Many think of being talented as just the big-shot ultimate player, but really talent does not equal a good player at all. A talent suggests an aptitude in a certain area. "Talented" people can perfect their skills and learn new things a lot easier than the average Joe, but that still does not mean that they are good. This may sound weird, but you can be talented in sex as well as anything.

Natural talent doesn't exist, it's an illusion, seriously. It's something you get told at school to make you feel better and make you think you might have a chance of being famous.

thats not entirely true. Some things in people come from right at their conception in the mother's womb. for example the personality, it is known that if the mother listens whit regularly to calm music the child will be a calmer person whit the future. the opposite happens whit violent music as well. its not a "Natural" "talent" per say but many things are already defining the child that are beyond his control. now of course that some develops further some of their characteristics and some don't. people aren't born as equals. its a fact and no matter how much we deny it, it still exists.

but have the impression i know what you mean. in schools teachers usually say to children that someone haves a "special" talent for something. in the way they say it yes it is wrong. for as much they say we are good at something there is usually someone better at it.

You kinda contradict yourself there, because if there were no such thing as talent then everyone would be the same, because noone is 'particularly' good at anything. Then everyone would be a football pro and a master chef, which is untrue. And just like you say, noone kid is born the same as the other, and thus they possess different 'talents'.

I think you guys mystify the word a bit. Talent, is nothing more than a natural deftness based on your personal traits such as physique, intelligence, senses etc. Which are determent by genes.

Talent != skill. Mastery comes through many many many hours of practice and refining skills , whereas talent is something you do not have to work on much because you can instinctively do it. It's debatable whether such a thing actually exists, because everything comes from somewhere. I consider myself a pretty adequate drawer and almost everyone that's seen my drawings say I have talent, but in reality it is because I spent the greater part of my childhood sitting around drawing stuff around me and pausing Disney movies to draw characters. Some people may not know that their so-called talents actually stem from a huge amount of practice that they either forgot or misinterpreted.
