And, if at all, how long would it take?
So our homosexual dopers don’t feel left out, feel free to postulate that, if you’re a gay male, every man on Earth other than you has died suddenly; and, if you’re a lesbian, that every woman on Earth. I’m not sure how to let the people who are 3s are on Kinsey scaleplay.
With the world like it is now I’m doing OK without. I’m guessing that even in your scenario I wouldn’t turn gay.
I’ve still got two good hands. I’ll pass.
Porn.
I’d assume I’d stay straight, however since I’ve never been in that, specific situation I can’t say for sure.
I do know that it would be a minimum of… a long time, before I forgot how much I liked women, and men started to look even remotely attractive. I mean, dudes are nasty, I don’t even understand why women like us.
I don’t think men are nasty as such–I’m on record as thinking Taye Diggs is cute as a button–but it’s a continual mystery to me that every non-blind woman in the world is not at least bisexual. I mean, haev they SEEN each other?
I’m somewhere around a one or two on the Kinsey Scale, so yes.
I am a male that identifies as a 2 on the Kinsey scale. If every woman on earth were to drop dead, I would become a homosexual. I mean, why not? I’m not going to masturbate exclusively for the rest of my life. And the thing is, if there were no woman on the face of the earth, many men would “convert” or “come out of the closet”. There have been instances where me and a friend (we considered each other completely straight during the entire 2 years of our friendship up to this point) have put our sexuality in serious doubt after a six pack apiece and 10 minutes of watching porn. If some beer and porn will do it, I know the complete annihilation of a gender would.
If this were to happen, I’d say 50% of the population would at least “help their fellow man out”, if you know what I mean. The other half would be masturbating to vintage porn until we all died out in 100 years or so.
Are you kidding? Four billion fresh bodies with no feminists left to defend their rights?
Giggidy giggidy!
Isn’t this pretty much prison minus conjugal visits? And how horny do you have to be to get over the death of half the world’s population?
After the shock wore off, I guess everyone would wait for any pregnant women to give birth to see if there’d be more men coming (in 18-ish years, of course). In the meantime, sure, bring on the lesbians. I’m sure there would be plenty of drag kings.
I’d prolly go “prison-gay.”
In a heartbeat.
Become homosexual, no, but I might fool around a bit, just to try it!
I took this question seriously, and actually imagined being in that situation and having sex with another man. I got a really bad urge to throw up.
So no.
Yar!! These magazines will keep my crew from resortin’ to homosexuality…for five minutes!!
Classic.
Yeah, I’m a touch off the hard straight end of the K-scale, but not much off it. I’d probably find someone I was attracted to, but I shore would miss them boobies.
I’m heterosexual all the way. Having said that, I’d turn gay in about 3 days. I’m betting 90% of the population would too. Really, what else is there to do? Masturbate for the rest of your life? No thanks.
I think sexbot tech would be put on the fast track. Hello, RealDolls, how you doin’?
Can I get an amen? :D:cool:
Straight girl here, and I think I’d be happily gay in a number of weeks.
I’m surprised that nobody has addressed the gay scenario–I think it would be unimaginably awkward. As the sole male/female on Earth, you’d find yourself pressured to repopulate the planet. For a man, meh, he can be the world’s most expensive sperm donor, but being the only woman left on the planet, gay or straight? Umm…no.
