View Full Version : If You Could Change Your Sexuality Would You?
Anonymous

There was some discussion about this when Paul_UK posted the story about the supposed "Gay Pill" that would "make" you straight. This raises the question of would you take this pill and change your sexuality if you could. I think that a lot more people would open up about whether they would change or not if a thread was made in here because they couldn't be scrutinized since this is anoymous. Make sure you say why you would or wouldnt.
Anyo #1: I think I would. I'm still young and not quite in college and it would sure make my life a hell of a lot easier. I would miss it because I've come to identify with it, but I would still change it. However, I think things would be a lot different if I was in a relationship or older or something.

Anon.#2: I would too. I can't seem to not be resistant to it so the only way of correcting that is to change it.

I think I would but then i wouldn't be attracted to the guy i have a crush on anymore and that would be awful. Its difficult. If some way i could be with the guy and not have to go through coming out? =]

I wouldn't. I LIKE not having to see people as two genders, one to like and one to not. I much prefer this way, in which I don't have to consider gender when deciding I like someone.

I would want to make my sexuality clearer.
But maybe this is selfish, as it just might possibly give me the opportunity of living a straight life.

I've said it on this site probably like 5 times. (Rough estimate)
I'd change my sexuality! Why the hell not? lol
I'd love to touch and feel all up and on the girls... wait... oh AND get aroused by it... I was confused for a second because I already do that. lol
The gay thing is conflicting with enjoying my family being alive... Well as much as any teenager can. haha
I mean a magic pill might be iffy but to go back and live life hetero... fuck yeah! All these feelings you have for the same sex you'd have for the opposite sex... the opposite sex would no longer be "icky."
haha... icky... haha ok so the word amuses me.

Maybe associating with both would make me an outsider, idk

Wow your really smart I agree completely, I think that you would be more likely to want to change if you had realized you were gay recently(Within a few years), but if u had been in a relationship or were older and much more accepting of yourself you probably wouldn't want to change.

I wouldn't change mine. Being gay has allowed me to have a lifestyle I wouldn't change for the the world. My good friends are all female, which I see as a good thing, and I'm more sensitive because of how I grew up. However, if use of this pill became widespread, and there were no gay guys left in the world, I probably would take it, just so that I wouldn't die alone.
On another note, it seems that most people who are saying they would take it are posting anonymously while most who are saying they wouldn't take it aren't posting anonymously. Any ideas why?

I probably wouldn't change mine. It's what I'm now used to, and I wouldn't like to go through the period of re-adjustment again. Besides, guys are hot.
I wouldn't mind if it was a little more clear-cut, though.

Good point... But thats why the anonymous thing is here, they can use it if they want.
Maybe they're embarassed about it? I think its degrading to all gay people to say you would want to change it, and its also a big fuck you to "gay pride" which lots of people here apparantly follow.

I would have maybe a year ago, but at this point I would absolutely not even consider it. I'm out to everyone and I have been met with so much support. I'm also madly in love with my boyfriend so I would be giving up a lot to turn my back on my identity.

I have to say that I would find it interesting to see how my life would be if I was straight, for instance, if I would still be friends with the ppl I am friends with, i fI would have a better relationship with my father etc. However, I wouldn't want to change it forever. I like being me too much, however annoying it can be sometimes (when you're in love with your best friend (Oh I know, stereotypical little me hehe))
So yeah, I think it would be quite interesting to see my life with me as straight, but not so much that I would change who I am, if that makes sense

Why be embarrassed? I guess it is fine for people to get embarrassed about it but whatever. I mean hell I'd like to be able to stand my family. I'd love to live under the delusion that their love was unconditional. (If I were hetero it would be! lol)
I don't care if others have pride. Kudos. I'd probably have more of it if it weren't for the consequences that might follow. (Stricken from the will is not something that I would consider "bueno") I mean yeah woo I'm gay... so? I'm so much more... If this were to change I'd still be ME... I'd just actually get aroused more often then I do when I touch girls. lol
I like anal too much to want to be straight.
Hetero guys can enjoy anal... few do because they FEAR it will mean they are gay. Enjoying getting fu.... uh... "penetrated" while being pleasured is a thing that knows no sexuality.

It's hard to say but, but I would probably have to say no. I'm not big into gay pride, in fact I'm even a little scared of being gay. But if I don't have the balls to be me than I don't think that I'm a verry worth while person. (No offewnse of course to those of you that would change, I completely see where most of you are coming from, and I have to admit it would be nice to have a family later in life and know that my parents will never reject me.) But still I love who I am and I want to be me regardless of whaat others think. I mean it's my life not theirs right?

Definitely not. I like who I am, and I've gone through too much to change my personality in such a drastic way just to be "normal" and not have to live in fear of discrimination. I've dealt with discrimination before, though I'll admit to a much lesser extent than coming out will bring, and I've grown to not care what others think about me. People can say whatever they want, but I like men, I LIKE that I like men, and nobody is going to change that. :icon_wink

Nope, I have absolutely no desire to change my sexual preference at this present time. Idk there may be some major even that unfolds somewhere along the line in the future but up till now I've had no problems with being gay. (^-^) I love the way I am and am only just recently starting to actually have a life, being that I was very messed up till now.
Being gay is part of who I am and everyone has excepted me for that, although I would like at least 1 piece of negative feedback just so I know people actually have opinions on me which sounds silly but no one seems to care.

This is something I've thought about occasionally. I think that a year ago, or even just a couple months ago, I would have said yes. I was confused, unhappy with myself, and just wanted to be 'normal'. But now, I think I would say no. I've accepted myself, and, for the first time in my life, I am really really happy with who I am. I don't care if others don't like it or understand it, I am who I am and I can't and won't change that. Being gay has given me a different perspective and I am grateful for that. I guess I just don't want to give up who I am now that I am happy with it.

I'm kinda torn on this one. I only came out of the closet on Sept. 1st and I'm still trying to get over the whole going to fall in love with some man, get married in a Catholic church and make lots of babies. Heck, I haven't even had a gf yet so I can work through everything...
On the other hand, I spent most of my life being different and just not accepted by "normal" people. I don't think I want to be accepted by them anymore.
I don't think the pill itself is a good idea. It would further divide everything. Instead of just having heteros and homos we'll have to add in those who took the pill and those who didn't.

I definitely wouldn't change it. Not for the world.
I've come to an understanding that of course there are going to be some hard things that come with being a lesbian, but there are also many good things, and I know that I will one day be happy with a girl. I don't want a guy in my life, never have, and I don't want to change that now. Being with a girl feels right for me, and I'm comfortable with it, and I want to keep things that way. If other people don't like it, I won't take it badly or make a big deal out of it, probably because they're ignorant and don't understand.

I know I used to say yes to this question, but now I think I would say no. I'd like to be able to openly have a crush on someone with out being looked at as strange, at least where I live. But I also wouldn't want to suddenly be attracted to something I don't want. So I will say no to that pill.
And I totally agree with you ^^^ I know I wouldn't have the same awesome friends as I do today because I always get to know someone instead of judging by appearances or by what others have said.

I definately would not take it. A couple years ago I would always be worried about this stuff and would want to change but now I realize it and accept it and actually like it. I like being unique and I wouldn't want to be different or "normal" like everyone else and like girls. Gay teens have different lives almost and deal with stuff that other people don't have to deal with and I like that.

I would lose that friendship I have with my girly girls.....I wouldnt lose the weight, lol. But I would have stayed with Vicky....and I'd be in a relationship....I'd be....with someone, to hold me through thick or thin. I'd have someone to comfort me. I dont know, maybe its just me being repulsively self embellished this late at night. I guess ultimately I wouldnt take it. My experiences have made me hwo I am.

This a weird one for me because it's almost a two part question...
I've often wondered if I could change myself seamlessly into the gender I was born into, would I? I don't know who I would be, effort and struggle and pain notwithstanding. Honestly, if I could turn back time to when my kids were little, and I could become the man I was trying to be and strike myself sober, maybe....
Sexuality is a very complex conversation for me. I was "heterosexual male" or so I thought, for forty some years, and then discovered that I was at the *very* least bisexual, and soon found that sex with a man felt deeply satisfying and right.
Did I mention that I'm still married?
If anything, maybe I'd wish that I could become really truly Lesbian and be sexually attracted to the woman I married and still deeply love, but I don't think it's likely.

Never.
It took me many years to come to grips with who I am. Like most people, I tended to focus on all my negatives, and thought that if only I were more athletic, more attractive, and straight, life would be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. But that ain't the way. We all have positive and negative traits, and life is about emphasizing your positives while dealing with your negatives. Being gay is just one more thing that makes Lex Lex. Being straight would make me somebody else, and I've decided I kick ass exactly the way I am. :)

Nah, I wouldn't. I don't think I would have said I would even when I first realized I was bi... since I figured that, if this is the way I am, I just have to learn to like it, not change it. Besides, if I had truly wanted to just act like I was straight it'd be easy- since I do like guys (although I think I'm leaning more towards the lesbian side by the day :lol:) yet I'd rather just be honest about it. And I'm perfectly happy with my bisexuality, so I don't see any reason to change.

(Speaking of which, it pains me a little bit when people make fun of the pregnant man. Yes its a weird situation in theory, a man being pregnant, but no straight person will EVER understand the pain of being born into the wrong gender. NEVER.)

After thinking a long time about this, No, I wouldn't.
I've always wanted to have kids, but at the same time, I would still want to adopt if I was married to a women, there's way too many kids out there who need a home.
Plus, being gay is part of who I am, why would I change it? (wow, I should say the same thing about my weight and be ok with it, rofl)

i dont think i would. i have been so much happier since i accepted i was gay than when i was trying to convince myself i was straight.
gay makes me happy... straight just didnt seem right, i never felt that good about myself.
i hate how prejudiced people can be but hostility still doesnt make me want to change who i am.
they just need to sort themselves out and :***: them!!

I'm coming to terms with being gay... and I like it! If I had a choice, I would choose to be gay, because it's who I am, and I would never, ever change that. I don't care if people don't like it, tough for them. Guys are hot, I will not change my views, unless they truly do naturally change.

If you'd asked me this three years ago, I would have said yes without a second thought. Now I'm not sure. There are so many wonderful people I've met and groups I've become involved in through my sexuality - there's a whole other world out there, which I would most likely never have known if I was straight. Also, I really think I've learned a lot through being gay, I've spent so much time thinking about my own sexuality and the nature of sexuality in general. So, I don't think so.

I don't know if I would. I mean finding out those months and years of questioning and pain and relief and fear were for nothing... I might not be too thrilled about that. If given the chance at birth of course I would have been straight, honestly who wouldn't? But now, well I just don't think I could. Given I am not out, so I don't have to deal with the ridicule, just the knot in my stomach when I hear it knowing it's intended for me too. I really don't think anyone can answer this question totally. I mean I would like to be "normal" and not have to face the shit that comes with being gay, but from my current mindset I would miss so much if I stopped thinking about girls...

No, I would not take the pill. Being gay is who am I, for better or for worse. I love women. Sure it would make things easier in mainstream society. But who really cares about mainstream society anyway? Life is difficult for everyone, gay or straight. Why do you think everything in your life would be better if you were straight? Love yourself for who you are. Embrace the truth about yourself.
"The Man In The Glass"
When you get what you want in your struggle for wealth
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife
Who judgement on you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you're a straight shooting chum
and call you a wonderful guy,
but the man in the glass says you're only a bum
if you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
for he's with you clear up to the end,
and you have passed the most difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the path way to life
and get pats on your back as you pass,
but your final reward will be heartaches and tears
if you've cheated the man in the glass."

I would have to really think about it, the only reason why I would even consider it is I would like to be just gay. there have been too many times that i've walked into a club or party or social gathering and i'll see a girl that i'm attracted to and then i'll see a guy i'm attracted to equally and i can't decide who i want to go talk to more or i'll flirt with both and then the other will see me flirting with the other and confront me about it and make things really awkward. I would like to be just gay but i'll settle for being bi which does have it's advantages, like being able to undress both sex's with my eyes at social outings :icon_bigg

I never wanted to change my sexuality. I consider myself bisexual but of course leaning more to the male side.
But as time has passed, I started to hate myself for being who I was. I started to abhor the gay lifestyle, the gay attitude, and the gay "culture.
I have no problem with women, but gay men in trying to establish a relationship have ALWAYS let me down. I don't understand I try to treat people with respect, but all they want is sex.
Perhaps its because I'm 18 and prefer people my age. And they just are not in that stage of life. I'm good-looking and in-shape. Yet I know it takes more then that.
I always thought I could settle down with a guy and form a relationship. But NOW I'm unattracted to men. And would rather be with a woman. Because at least they want more "emotional relationship" that's the majority I've noticed.

No, not now. A few years ago, I might have been desperate for such a "miracle cure", but I've grown out of that. There are so many things I've gotten to experience, people I've gotten to meet, and things I learned that I never would have if I were straight. I feel like experiencing true discrimination has hardened me a little, but it's also opened my eyes to everything that's been going on around me lately. In the best way possible it seems like I've aged ten years over the last two, getting much more serious and observant. I like it. No thank you.

I would change my sexuality no problem.. I hate being gay.. makes me depressed, makes my life complicated.. makes me doubt humans and their nature.. makes me angry to see gay people mistreated, incl. me.. the list goes on....
But, it also makes finding love harder.. with fewer people to chose from, it kinda makes me sad to know that i will not end up the person i would maby end up with if i were straight... if that makes any sense at all : /
Also, no need to disappoint ur parents and friends.. one of my best friends hates gay people, and well it kills me that i need to tell him one day too.. shit.. my life sux.. and all because i am gay. I have nothing against gay people, just bugs me that people do...
I dno.. i look at straight couples walking around holding hands.. able to show public affection without having stones and bottles thrown at them... can i expect the same result with gay couples, not where i live at least...
I hate the fact that its so easy for them(straigt people) :tantrum: to be who they are, no laws against them, no worries, no preachers running behind them waving a Bible in their face, no having to deal with crude gay remarks, and gay jokes... The hardest thing a straight person actually needs to tell their parents, is that they have a BF/GF.. whereas we need to do that plus say its not of the opposite sex. Wippee for us :dry:
I wana rant, please forgive me.. but wow... i would take the Straight Pill anyday.
I havent accepted myself.. clearly. I want a BF so bad these days, too worried bout the public tho.

I wouldn't change it because 1) I have no idea what it's like to be straight and 2) I see more of an oportunity to make a difference in the lives of others than if I were straight. (I will soon be an ordained minister and plan on startng a GLBT ministry).

I would definately have said yes a year ago because I was depressed and feeling like the only way i could be normal was to be straight. Now that ive told some people Im not sure that I would take the pill. Plus i dont trust meds because anti-depressants messed me up. I think if it was a one time thing more people would take it because it would be harder to hide if you had to take it daily. If people knew you took it you would be treated differently anyways.

I'm very conflicted. I really want to say yes, although I'd prefer to just have been born straight. Then I'd fit in more, be able to objectify women with my guy friends, etc.
But I also know that my sexuality is a deeply ingrained part of who I am. If I was straight, I wouldn't be me. I'd like to think that somewhere along the line, me not being straight has helped someone in some way or another. So I'd probably have to say no, I wouldn't change my sexuality, although it would make things a helluvalot easier for me.

I wouldn't take a pill to make me straight. I haven't been with a guy and well I want to I can already picture him in my head lol. And well O would never want to be with a girl. It's just I have known all my life and well even if my family asked me if they knew I was gay and well they react the way I know they are and give me the choice be kicked out or take the pill I still wouldn't take the pill. I think that when you become older you realize its better to be yourself than to be something that you weren't born to be. But hey I understand all the guys who said they would cause well if I was younger like when I first realized I was gay I would probably think about taking the pill for a minute or two. Hopefully after that minute or two I would change my mind and be myself a gay guy, or boy back then.
I believe that the one thing you should always follow is your heart and well my heart tells me I'm gay. And well if it tells me one day I'm not well too bad I'm a gay man lol.

Fuck that! I would never change who I am due to society's rulings. I am proud to be the way I am, and I will never let anyone change that. People, you need to realize that you were born how you were, and however many people discriminate, you need to persevere. During the civil rights movement, African-Americans were brutalized just as much as we are today, yet they still got through it, and eventually gained their rights. We can do the exact same thing. We can't achieve this with the attitude of, "Ya, I want to be straight." That's going to get us shit. People are going to say, "Wow, not even gay people like gays." We all need to accept who we are, and what we stand for. Only then will we achieve a second civil rights movement.

Some days I would. Bisexuality is often confusing, and my emotions are too much for me to handle. Sometimes I hate the uncertainty of whether I'll marry a girl or a guy. Other days, I feel lucky that I have that flexibility. Some days I'm just glad I can appreciate the beauty of a woman or a man. Some days I just don't know.
Bottom line: NO REAL ANSWER
