That you could be straight but only for like a day or a week?? It doesn't seem like much of a change, but I think I would be a pretty different person. I wouldn't be nearly as open minded as I am.

So do you ever think about this?? Do you think you would be the same person or completely different??

Adam · 17th May 2010, 03:36 AM

Not anymore do I ever wish I was straight, Love the way I am now. But I do wonder what my life would be like if I were straight, I probably wouldn't be as nice as I am!

Gin Uh Fur · 17th May 2010, 03:49 AM

if i was straight id most likely be preg by now...or already have a kid...ew.

Hello Harriet · 17th May 2010, 06:02 AM

I used to. But girls are just so much better!

Miss Bubbles · 17th May 2010, 06:05 AM

No I have never wished lo but I have wondered if my father would treat me differently if I was.

Zumbro · 17th May 2010, 06:07 AM

It would be nice for parties or going out on some weekends with my straight friends I suppose. I definitely prefer the gay clubs right now, just since there's more to look at for me

Connor22 · 17th May 2010, 06:23 AM

yeah I guess so... I miss being in the closet sometimes

British Lad · 17th May 2010, 08:22 AM

Hard to say because i have carried on like normal and nothing has changed at all.

EddyT · 17th May 2010, 08:27 AM

I think my mind would change and I couldn't control myself o.o

stratavos · 17th May 2010, 09:20 AM

No. I don't think about that, or have the desire to. However, I believe I'd still be similar to how I am now (only less secretive about love interests).

17th May 2010, 09:30 AM

Yes, I wish that every day. Though it's quite a conundrum, because if I suddely turned straight it'd be like starting a completely new life. That is, I can't imagine my life as a straight guy because it simply wouldn't be mine. I'd be totally different and so would be everything else.

Emberstone · 17th May 2010, 09:59 AM

nope, but sometimes I wish I had 4% body fat...

Apocalypte · 17th May 2010, 12:28 PM

To be perfectly honest? No. Being gay is part of who I am and I don't particularly want to change that.

D_Alejandro · 17th May 2010, 01:00 PM

You can't really reflect on something that does not/and will never exist.

It's like saying: I wonder if I had never been born.

But if you mean to say that we could chose to be straight knowing that we could go back to being gay (a la Freaky Friday lol) then I probably wouldn't it.

malachite · 17th May 2010, 01:06 PM

I don't like thnking about what could be, I deal with what is. I'm not straight. I'm gay. I have to learn to live with it.

**Lexington** · 17th May 2010, 01:11 PM

I can't say as I ever "wish" for it. I'll think about it, and maybe fantasize about it, just wondering what it would be like. The same way I'd wonder what it'd be like to be an astronaut or a rock star or a fifty-foot monster. But I can't say as I'd ever wish for it.

Cheria · 17th May 2010, 04:29 PM

So many of my chick friends would call me out for sexual harassment.
And that's for the stuff I do to them while I'm gay.

17th May 2010, 06:04 PM

I do, but then I look at guys and think to myself, "this is much better"

17th May 2010, 06:11 PM

naw, i don't wish i was straight. i wish the world would treat us like we're straight, but that's a different thing. the thought of liking girls though is just so depressing..

17th May 2010, 07:43 PM

I used to wish to be straight because I didn't want to be gay. Thankfully, I have adjusted to my homosexuality and wouldn't change it for the world. The only reason I would want to be straight for a little while would be out of curiousity: what is it like to be attracted to women, what is it like to live a heterosexual lifestyle, etc.. It would make for a spectacular research paper.
