Ok, so let me start off by saying that I know that you can’t change your innate desires and sexuality, only your actions and behaviors. What I mean, more accurately, are there any circumstances under which you would ever consider engaging in homosexual behavior? We know from the lifers in prison that men who are sexually straight will sometimes engage in sex with other men and sometimes even elaborate relationships. There is also sexual experimentation out of sheer curiosity, desperation, etc. What do you think it would take?
Sorry if great debates is not the best place for this, but I can see this turning into an argument/debate easily.
Nope. Couldn’t do it for any reason. The thought of me engaging in it is repulsive.
Hey, I have nothing at all against gay people, but it’s not for me and there’s absolutely no way I would ever think of batting from the other side of the plate.
If my wife suddenly decided she wanted to give threesomes a try. She’s not into women and I’m not into men, but if we agreed we’d both go that way for the sake of the new sexual experience, I’d be game.
Not having an available partner of your preferred sex leads to masturbation not homosexuality. Plenty of men go to prison and never have homosexual relations. Those that choose to engage in same-sex sex can claim they are straight all day long, but from my point of view they aren’t as straight as they claim.
For me to have gay sex well that’s not a hard sell at all.
To get me to engage in hetero sex not having available gay sex is certainly not going do it, I’d go on indefinitely with my own fantasies. Throw some real money on the table and I might consider but I think I’d have trouble without some Viagra thrown in.
If I could clone myself, perhaps. In a world where women were present, that’s what it would take at a minimum, and I’m not even sure I’d be able manage it then. But the idea of sexually experimenting with ‘myself’ would be way less repugnant than with any other guy.
ETA: Real answer to the question: I would have to be single and meet the right woman.
I tend to be more physically attracted to men, but I have also been strongly attracted (physically, emotionally) to some women, starting when I was 14 or 15. I haven’t dated any women because I’ve been with my SO since I was 19, but I’m certain I could very easily ‘turn gay’ and have a serious relationship with a woman if I was ever single again.
I do think of myself as ‘bisexual’ but it’s a loaded term and seems to mean different things to different people. I have no desire to engage in casual sex with women (or men); I simply am open to having a relationship with someone I find attractive, regardless of gender. Perhaps a better word would be ‘flexible’.
