Your feelings on the hypothetical scenario?

  1. As a homosexual, I'd think I'd be ok with it and perhaps adapt completely on scenario 1.

    Two hypothetical scenarios for each. Basically wanting to know how much of you would be ok with it as if your sexuality is not that important as long as you can function and those who embraces their sexuality. These are scenarios of fluid sexuality.

    For homosexuals

    1. How would you feel if your sexuality is changing to a heterosexual and you start noticing it? (The sexuality changes is extremely slow, let's say 8 months for a complete change)
    2. How would you feel if your brain somehow rapidly changed majorly and just your sexuality is being completely shifted as a results?

    For bisexuals
    1. How would you feel if you notice you start developing a complete lack of interest into sexual activities and then, you are losing your sexual attraction capability? (The sexuality changes is extremely slow, let's say 2 years for a complete change)
    2. How would you feel if your brain somehow rapidly changed majorly and you lost sexual attraction along with interest?

    Extra note: Adapts/adapt should be renamed to adapt completely

    I would adapt quickly to both scenarios. Girls actually find me attractive, so I can actually have people I find attractive and not be forced to date guys I have no feelings for.

    I would certainly be worried as to why it is happening, but if it happened I would go with it, not like I could do much, just like I cannot change what I am attracted to right now.

    I would feel like shit and scared as hell about what would happen with my relationship!
    If it was just me, I wouldn´t care at all. But now it would affect both of us.

    I'm taken, so I really would be distressed with either 1 or 2.

    Well I'd be slightly distressed as it took me years to accept what I was and now going back would completely stuff that up. But noone knows really and I'm not taken so it wouldn't affect any relationships. If it happened over time I'd be fine more or less. Happens instantly I'd be freaked out.

    I'm really very comfortable with who I am and would prefer not to change. I'd be distressed.

    I would be distressed, but not so much over the orientation change as over the confusion. I only accepted that I was gay, not bi about a year ago, and I only began to question my heterosexuality about four years ago, so to randomly stop being gay just as soon as I've accepted it would be a harrowing experience. I voted that I would be more distressed by scenario 1 though. I would certainly be shocked and worried by scenario 2, but at the very least I wouldn't be confused about my orientation (just what caused it to change...)

    Were I to lose my capacity for sexual attraction? Wouldn't mind, would almost prefer it to happen. Sex and dating are land mines for me and dysphoria.

    Its interesting. I actually used to be asexual. And I liked it. Now that I'm a sexual creature, well... I like that too. Its more distracting, but I like the way I feel. So I'd be slightly, but not massively distressed, and both situations.

    Honestly, I don't think I was ever truly asexual but it's odd- it's like I was oblivious to sexual attraction until I dealt with my gender. And now it's just annoying. :bang:

    I was. I wasn't sure until I actually became sexual, since I couldn't define sexual attraction until I felt it, but it was like the hormones triggered my sexuality. And then... PEOPLE. HOT PEOPLE. EVERYWHERE. SEXSEXSEXSEXSEX. SO DISTRACTING. NO MUM, I DIDN'T HEAR WHAT YOU JUST SAID, THIS HOT PERSON WALKED PAST.

    I always knew what my sexuality would be if I ever became sexual though.

    If I were in a relationship with a guy, then yes, I'd be distressed. But I'm not in a relationship with a guy, and so long as I'm not in a relationship with a guy, while I know I'm in the minority on this one, I would honestly welcome the change.

    I voted Other. I'm bi, I don't see the difference between the two scenarios, but I'd be sad in both. I'd be sad cause sexual attraction and intimacy are very nice things about life, and I wouldn't be able to experience. But, though sad, I'd move along.

    I would not like either. I generally don't like change, and it would make me feel like a fraud/that I had wasted time coming out.
