I would probably experiment with homosexuality, but I expect I wouldn’t find it very satisfying. Looking at what happens when a bunch of guys are all stuck together for a long period of time in the real world would probably give us an idea of how people would react in your bizzarro world, and if sailors and prison inmates are any indication lots of people who wouldn’t expect they’d do another guy would end up, in fact, doing another guy.
Actually it’d be pretty funny . . . the only man in a world of women, then they find out I’m gay.
Environmental pressures help a bit with the whole sexuality thing.
I’m male and would call myself a 1.5 on that scale. Yeah, I would. But I might be happier if all the other men died and I had my choice of women.
Well, I haven’t had sex with a female for 18 years, and I’m still straight, I guess I could go a while longer.
But in your scenario, where I have no more hope, I would weep and weep while masturbating pathetically. I don’t know if I’d ever be as turned on by men as I am by women, but I’ probably wouldn’t say no to a helping hand.
Hm. I could go without the sex. Probably become a hermit with lots of pets except for selling my sperm for $100,000 per successful pregnancy.
Wouldn’t turn straight. I just don’t get that horny.
Straight woman here.
I did a bit of teenage experimentation. I can see women as sexual objects, that is I can see a sexy woman and that makes me think of sex and that makes me feel horny.
but I’m still not really able to imagine wanting to have sex with women, even if I was never going to have sex again.
I can see myself longing for human contact and snuggling up with a good friend. I can see myself trading massages, but I just can’t see making the leap to sex.
Sex toys and pictures of Robert Pattinson for me.
I think this is one of those scenarios that, if it unfolded, would prove most denyers wrong. Most people IME have a strong need for physical, intimate contact, the need for skin. It wouldn’t take long for hetero-as-a-nail-guys to seek the comfort of anyone available (not homosexuality per se, I know).
Yes, men are nasty, but there are exceptions. Those skinny, smooth-skinned, hairless twinky bottoms offering a warm orifice to releave yourself in? Just close your eyes or get drunk and you couldn’t tell it’s not a hot woman you’re banging.
Nope.
More interesting would it be if, when all women have kicked the bucket, men would be able to bear children. Would you go gay to save the species?
Me, as a gay male, would be more willing to impregnate the women in my post-apocalyptic world, but I would make it a point to not enjoy myself.
I know; that occurred to me as I wrote the OP, but I was too lazy to link to it or explain.
Well ok, I’d do it to save the species . . . but I’d put a photo of Hugh Laurie on the headboard.
Nahhhh, most likely not; I’m married, so I’m already used to going without sex.
I might be convinced to stick my schlong into a hole in the wall and convince myself that the last surviving female was on the other side, though.
I really, really doubt it. I can notice a handsome man even now without having the slightest interest in jumping in the sack with him; I doubt that even the death of every woman on Earth would make me want to go gay. Plus, I’m sure I’d be grieving over the loss of my wife, mom and sisters for a long time. So… bring on the hetero porn after a decent interval, I guess.
We are, of course, talking about some strange world in which we’re not as slaves to grief as we are in this one. I don’t know if I’d even survive if Kimmy, my stepdaughter, and my nieces up and died on me all at once.
I’d probably stay celibate–not because I have a problem with the idea of being gay (hey, I think Annie Lennox and Julie Andrews in “Victor Victoria” are quite hot!) but because I’ve never been high on the libido scale in the first place so I probably wouldn’t really miss it enough to seek it out.
I’d probably gravitate toward the male end of the spectrum role-wise, though–if there was nothing left but women, we tomboy types would have to step up and do the “guy” stuff, right?
I’ve never had any interest in sex with other women, but I think I’d find someone to snuggle with, at least. I’d really miss physical contact and I guess I’m curious enough to try it once. Afterward, who knows?
I’d have hot monkey-love sex every day and night with any man who cought my fancy… but I wouldn’t turn gay!
Nothing would change for me - I’m not getting any now. Since I haven’t been tempted now, I don’t think I would be then.
I was once presented with this hypothetical and was asked, if you had to be gay, what would you look for in a man?
My answer:
A very small penis.
