If you could magically become straight, would you?

Hi... Fair question..
In many ways, yes, it would be a lot easier to just be straight, but my answer is no.
There are many blessings to be the way we are, in my case, bi.
I'm thankful, and I'm blessed.

 

I don't think I would.
I wish I could take a pill to make me 100% gay though, so I wouldn't have to have confusing half-feelings for guys.

I like girls way too much to want to give them up and be straight.
Their lips are soft, their skin is soft and warm, they smell nice, they feel passionately, sometimes too passionately.

I find guys to be great companions and awesome to hang out with, but I would never ever want to have sex with one.

Like others have said, dating would be so much easier. BUUUUT it doesn't change the fact that sex with guys hurts a lot and brings back unkind memories for me.

And with girls... I know which part works in what way

 

No, I wouldn't. Dating/relationship stuff has never been easy for me. Being straight wouldn't change that. If there was a pill which could kill all sexual/romantic desire? Yes I'd take it!
But I like my current relationship, thank you very much

 

Yes.

 

I love being a lesbian, I hate lesbophobia. So yeah, I'd take it.

 

Lesbophobia? Is that a thing now?

 

Yes... why?

 

I'd be missing out on a great relationship, so no. Besides, being part of the LGBT+ community has allowed me to meet some really cool people.

I can't say what I would choose if I were gay. I want to say I just want to be myself -- I wouldn't magically change my race, my looks, or my personality, and I hope I wouldn't do it for my sexuality, either. But I really don't know, since I'm not in that situation.

 

My thoughts on this echo Canterpiece's: Yes and no.

The whole coming-out process has made me grow tremendously as a human being and I've become considerably more compassionate as a result. Not that I wasn't before, but I have a new appreciation for what a lot of people go through in their lives.

Plus, being gay makes me different. I hated that feeling of being different - no one wants to be. We all want to be treated the same and given the same dignity and respect. In the past couple of years, I've really come to terms with that feeling of being different and I feel much more at home with that feeling now. I embrace it.

With that said, the sexual aspect of my life would be SO much easier if I were straight, there's no denying that. More people to date, no uneasiness about holding hands in public, not having to wonder how the waitress/boarder guard/wedding cake decorator will react when I say I'm here with my boyfriend... I would be able to rough-house with other guys it wouldn't be all weird with them thinking I was grabbing them for a sexual thrill. Dressing rooms wouldn't be awkward. Well, I always found them that way, but that dimension of people wondering if you're enjoying the view. :/

 

I've just never heard anyone use that term before, but I think I'm going to stick to using the terms homophobia and biphobia, possibly Panphobia. Panphobia? Is that a thing? I'm not sure if that would be the best name for it since it just sounds like a word to describe someone who's afraid of frying pans. :lol:

 

Yes because I don't have to hide things from the people above me

 

Yes, if it was either that or being stuck with the way I am now.

I swear I get on the verge of crying hysterically (want to now) when I hear people talk about all the love and support they get from family, etc., in regards to being lgbt.

:tears::tears::tears:

Why am I not allowed some level of that? Instead, I have no support from family and the lgbt community (around) pretty much doesn't give a crap about me, as a general thing, due to the other minority aspects about me.

The -only- thing I feel any level of content with is gender...and, even then, dysphoria can be a bitch, so that isn't saying much.

Can I get a text alert when that happens? Killing attraction altogether is pretty much the ideal scenario. As I've said in the past, attraction is nothing but a huge burden/curse for someone like myself.

I'm ending up alone in the end anyways, in all senses of the word; may as well cut off the only thing holding me back from completely enjoying that.

Knowing neither scenario isn't even possible, why can't I just fade from existence right about now...?

 

Yes and no. Yes because life would be so much easier and I wouldn't have so much to worry about but no because I have never had a girlfriend and I want to know what real love feels like, what my body actually wants, not what some toxic chemical is telling me I want

 

No. I think guys are the hottest thing ever and there's no way I want to miss out on that.

 

This :lol:

 

I'd rather stay magically delicious thank you~

 

Um - I tried being straight for 42 yrs !!
So a firm no from me -
Being what I'm not is not where I plan to be anymore -
Time
Has moved on and in 'civilised ' societies being gay should 100% be the norm.. I wonder at what stage being gay won't be a segregated thing - ?
I'm gay - those words may one day not exist and who we love is just 'whatever ' no one calls it anything - it just is
I wonder how many people would magically become gay if they could - now that's a question

 

No. How boring that would be.

 

Nope. My sexual orientation isn't something that needs to be "cured." I'm happy the way I am, and if someone has a problem with it, then that's just too bad.
