Do people 'choose' to be gay? LOL

Post Reply New Topic

i like both boys and girls, why limit yourself?

i ask the same question but i always end up just liking girls. *shrugs*

I have severely limited myself, unfortunately.
And I'm not really in a position to be fussy.

I choose not to be a pervert, what option should I check?

you choose not to be a pervert? does that mean you have homosexual feelings but choose to ignore them because you believe they're wrong?


i've entertained the idea of liking men...just never worked for me (i trust the penis to guide my way...it's the true divining rod).

Comedienne Margaret Cho says: "I thought long and hard about my sexuality, and I found out I was not straight, and I was not gay. . . I was just slu*ty."

"Now, where is MY parade? eh?"

Because I chose whether to become bisexual or remain straight. I've felt bisexual for several months, and then all attraction toward men went away, after I chose to return to being straight, and prayed I would.

See, the main sexual activity hormone that elevates during sex -- in BOTH genders -- is testosterone. Therefore, I've found the thought / sight of sex between men to be more intense -- but not in a good way. TOO intense. There's too much testosterone in that match-up, so that it looks more like playing a sport than the act of love.
After thinking about such scenes, I told God I'm sorry, and that I wanted to return to obedience of His principles as set out in the Bible. And He took that bisexual temptation away from me. One needs the influence of a higher power to change his or her sexuality.

Neuroscience is going to kill humanity.

Some people on WP have said that Aspies should be too logical by nature to be religious. I think that same argument applies to Aspie gays. It's obvious (both by common sense, and by medical evidence) how the sex organs were meant to fit together, and a hyper-logical person would have to see that all the more clearly, I'd think.

(I knew you were going to say that. )

i know what i like and it isnt cocks up my anus

Ya, me too. I've often pondered what it is that I like: "Ice cream? ...Yes. Driving in my convertible by the lake on a nice day? ...Yes. Taking a long outdoor walk with my iPod? ...Yes. Having a cock shoved up? ...No. Reading interesting books? ...Yes.", etc.

Sopho, how do you feel about men emotionally? I'm not looking for "I don't have a problem with men", but just, if it's not too personal, do you feel an inability to comfortably connect with men emotionally?

Have you ever gotten to a point where you're like, "I really like this guy as a friend, and I'm really comfortable being with him. Now I kinda wish I was straight so we could get it on, so it's too bad I can't change that"?

I've liked men as friends, but never anything more.

Sopho, I think, based on what I know on this that whatever choice you are anyone else might have would most primarily based on genetics. Cultural factors would probably play a role to a certain degree with effecting, but not with everybody or perhaps even anything near a significant minority. But the idea that homosexuals do not exist who are "hard-coded" to be attracted to the same sex seems to me to be pretty solid at this point.

I have said this before, but in terms of sexuality, I view people on a sort of scale. Most men are almost all the way one way, and most women are almost all the way the other way, but there are men and women at various points in between on on the other sides as well.

ADDENDUM: I voted no.

I just voted "I did not choose my sexuality"
I didn't choose to be heterosexual
I don't think I just can wake up one day and say "What the hell, I'm screwing with a guy today"
and not being gross out by it
