I’d go straight for 1. Annie Lennox. Oh, that voice! 2. Bebe Neuwirth Legs that go all the way up. 3. Nana Visitor My favorite Bajoran 4. Famke Janssen Hot and sultry 5. Catherine Zeta-Jones I may be gay, but I ain’t blind! ---

Wow. I feel almost repressed… The only person I can think of is my wife, but she’d have to go gay in order to complete that… so, does that work? ---

There’s only been one that would ever do it for me (up until he got involved with his incredibly overdone, screechy, poorly-aging wife, that is): Antonio Banderas. _Ay, por favor!_ Dark, passionate, mysterious… I think, even as a hetero male I’d have done him just for the notoriety! Before she-who-shall-remain-nameless came along, anyway. He lost major style points for that. I gotta give props to Scott Cohen, too. Somethin’ about him… ---

This is a rather weird question. Generally, a straight would not change his or her preference no matter who the object of desire. This question seems to be directed to those who desire others of their own sex, and can’t quite commit, or those whose gender preference is based on the most recent Hollywood craze. Can you think of a better way to waste time? ---

Hi-Jack :: wonders to himself. is it really a hijack when it was my idea to begin with? shrugs :: Oh sure, steal the newbies idea. grrrr… Honestly, it’s no biggy SuaSponte. I’ll take payment for the idea, in the form of having a pleasurable night with TekChik. 😃 And if Tek isn’t available, think maybe Brunetter might be? 😃 Have picture, will travel. LOL Bye-Jack ---

Can you think of a better way to waste time? > \*\* [insert flame here]. Nah, let’s not go that way. 1. Yes, I can think of better ways to waste time. But Sarah Michelle Gellar lives entirely to far away for me to stalk effectively. 2. It wasn’t directed at anybody in particular, and your conclusions are ludicruous. For gods’ sake, this is IMHO!! The reason I started this thread was to have some fun. If Joe Montana walked up to me at a party and started making moves on me, I would be flattered, but not interested (now, if Esprix did … ;)). Lighten up, dude. 3. As current psychological theory goes, we all live on a continuum between heterosexuality and homosexuality. If 1 is hetero-, and 10 is homo-, I’d put myself at a 2 or a 3. It doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate the attractiveness of men. So can you. Have you ever thought, “man, my friend [insert name of same-sex friend] has a great smile”? Hate to tell ya, pal, but that was an appreciation of a physical characteristic, and thus (horrors!!) a sexual thought. 4. Better stop. I’m getting real close to flaming here. V. ---

Yer a peach, **Sua** I’ve already stated mine several times: 1. Sophia Loren - actually got a boner watching “Pret a Porte” 2. Jeri Ryan - but _only_ if she wore her Seven of Nine implants As for others… hmmm… Jeanine Garafalo - she is da BOMB! Melissa Etheridge - she ROCKS! Kristen Johnston - Sally from “Third Rock,” and mostly because she spoke at the March on Washington and was so darned cute about it What’s-her-name from “New Adventures of Lois & Clark” - liked that dress she wore in the Bond film Alyssa Milano - I just love “Charmed,” tho I hardly ever watch it RuPaul - er, oh, wait a second… 😉 Esprix ---

Wow, everybody wants Angelina Jolie… I’d have to say the Tillie (I can’t remember if it’s Meg or Jennifer)that was in Bride of Chucky. She was in another movie as a bisexual and whoa… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-laminations-who-would-you-change-sexual-orientations-for/22893.md?page=1)
