Hypothetically, if there was a way to change your orientation, would you do it?

I've thought of this and I'd say No I wouldn't.
I like guys and I like that I like guys.
Yes there are struggles but you can work through them
It makes life a little more interesting.

 

A year ago, I probably would have. But now, I absolutely wouldn't. Even with all the struggles that come with being a lesbian, I wouldn't change a thing. In my eyes, it would be like getting plastic surgery. There is nothing to fix. There is nothing wrong with being gay, and I would rather be myself and struggle than alter myself to make society happy.

 

naahhhh

 

No.
Up to now I haven´t found anything being wrong with being gay, never struggled, and on top of that, already found a boyfriend.
So, no thanks.

 

I've wondered this... Sometimes I think I would. lol If I had a boyfriend right now I would for sure say NO WAY!, but I've been single for like two years... I think like being gay, I just don't like the way the world treats us gays. It's a hard question, good thing it's just a hypothetical one :b

 

No. My sexuality has in small ways shaped my life and the person I am. If I rejected it, I wouldn't be me.

 

Orientation could change under some amount of brain changes and under the right circumstances, but the odds of it happening is low and the overwhelming vast majority of cases are slow changes. Plus, since the brain changes are slow, it's unlikely that one would have cognitive problems as a result of changing responses to stimulis in the brain. For rapid changes, there is very few cases where a stroke changes one orientation and there is also only one case where a drug changes one's orientation.

Here's some interesting cases of rapid sexuality changes
-Chris Birch Case
-A case of altered sexual orientation following dominant hemisphere infract
-Multiple cases of sexual orientation or sexual behavior changes following stroke
-Adventitious change in homosexual behavior during treatment of social phobia with phenelzine.

How many people used drugs and/or had stroke? How many people had sexuality changes as a result? The odds of sexuality changes as a result are so low. Far more lower than natural sexual orientation changes.

So, if it was possible to change orientation by somewhat advanced science after the brain has been decoded, then I wouldn't risk it because of potentials in irreversible brain damages. So, it won't matter whether I want to or not, I wouldn't risk it.

The answer is no.

 

When I smoked weed I was watching porn n got turned on by guys, it set a chain effect and I never viewedwomen the same..

I would risk it, and would rather be straight. Its not that I hate being gay, I just think females are literally better looking and more beautiful, when I'm out its always a girl that catches my eye but i just don't get hard for them unfortunately. It feels forced and gives me stress but they are imo much more beautiful creatures

 

In a heartbeat.

I've almost reached the end of the pride stage of coming out but I still have some way to go. I'm absolutely not ashamed to be gay but I'm still not particularly happy about it.

 

When I was first coming to terms with my sexuality, I probably would have said yes.

After I embraced it, I probably would have said no.

Now that I'm at a point in my life where it's just a part of who I am, no bigger a part than my taste in music or preference for dogs over cats, yes, I would change my sexuality if I could.

If I had a man in my life, I'd say no because that would mean ending things with him. But without that tying me to my sexuality, what is there to make me hang on to it? Why hang on to something that makes it ten times harder for me to find someone to date? I've no especial fondness for being gay, any more than I'd have any fondness for being straight. But being gay does make it objectively more difficult for me to find that special someone.

 

Maybe change it to bi or ambisxeual

 

Probably not. See no reason to. Being bisexual's a part of me- nothing to fret over.

 

Yeah.
Girls are easier to get then guys.. And are more easily to tell if they like you.

 

Hm... it depends. Forever, probably not. It's been a struggle but I definitely think that it's shaped me up to be the person I am and has allowed me the life I currently have (which I kinda like). There's no doubt my life would have been drastically different if I were straight... now, if I had a chance to temporarily see/experience what my life would have been as a straight guy.... f**k yeah!

 

I dunno. Maybe I'd make everyone else gay...

 

*takes a drink*

My answer will stay constant no matter how many times a thread addressing this topic is made. I would NEVER change my orientation. I am just fine with who I am and there's no need for me to change. Furthermore, who I am right now is just fine and dandy.

 

I don't see why not. I don't think life would be drastically different if I changed, I'd still do all the same things I do now I'd just like girls instead.

 

I would definitely change my orientation. No doubt about it.

I would just change it to Pansexual ^_^

 

If the entire planet was straight, would our 'higher being (if we had one) be prouder of the human race? Everyone would be able to produce offspring, but wouldn't we be even more overcrowded than we already are?

I'm not even sure if I'm gay, but when I'm around town and see a couple it's generally the guy I look at and feel more chemistry with than the girl.

I think that being gay is really cool IF we can find someone to be with, and who loves us as much as we love them. But, if we, like myself, will probably grow old living in bedsit after bedsit with not even a slight amount of love felt due to low self esteem and family issues, then it would be easier to be straight and find a girl; I just don't see what boobs are for??

It takes all sorts to make the world interesting, but it would be so much better if we all had confidence in ourselves and had full respect for how others lived their lives.
