Poll: Would you take a pill that makes you bisexual?
- Thread starter Use_Imagination_here

I already have enough distractions with women as it is, I don't want to double my distractions.
So it would MAKE you bisexual?
As in force you (Well force your mind and body even if you are okay with taking it) to become bi.
I would not take it, I am perfectly with being me and I like just liking girls.
Other then that, I can only think about this pill becoming a way to get information out of someone ... or a prank.
... sounds horrible, forcing yourself to become bi. It just sounds heartless ... sorry if that sounded bad. I just have that feeling about the topic.
So no, I would not take it. I prefer things to progress naturally, even so I am fine with being heterosexual.

...Ummm...There there?Fiz_The_Toaster said:

Well, let's make this easy from the beginning. I, personally, am bisexual.NoeL said:
And you know those things you're saying? Not automatically true.
First off: most bisexuals aren't a 50/50 split. I've seen research before that indicates most prefer the opposite sex. This was years ago and I don't know if it's been superseded, but it does match my own observations, so I'll run with it for the sake of argument.
Next, bisexuals get crap not only from heterosexuals, but homosexuals. Yes, it's kind of ironic that gays and lesbians can fail to be understanding about someone else's sexuality, but it's true. We're confused. We're going through a phase. We're attention whores. We're gay but afraid to admit it. Beyond that, we're a relationship risk. Actually, that kind of comes down to your stereotype about gay guys being DTF all the time. Not only are bisexuals supposedly DTF, but now were totally going to cheat on you with the sex opposite of whatever you are in this example. Because not only are bisexuals all insatiable, but we're insatiable for both cock and pussy. Admitting you're bisexual can kill your chances before you've even started it, and hiding it can make things worse down the road. You might have a net increase of a slight amount, but you're not picking up a significant portion.
And as you said, I've never once thought "you know what? There's not enough stuff for me to masturbate to." Maybe that's because of another bistereotype, we're greedy, but honestly, I doubt there's anyone out there saying "there's too little porn in this world."
Oh, and of course, I haven't been with a guy in like a decade. I've been in two stable relationships, so I'm no longer consider bisexual anyway. Just like straights and gays lose all interest in other members of their desired sex when they enter a relationship, I've apparently lost all interest in men. Why? Because why else would I be with a woman?
Aside from the fact that she's educated and funny and nerdy and adorable. Surely, I must no longer even like dudes, right?
Socially, it's more a bother than a benefit. Sexually, the benefits are actually kind of limited.
Personally, I'm lucky. My girlfriend and I are into similar people. We're both open about and understanding of our sexuality and okay with things like, you know....Looking.
But that doesn't appear to be all that common.
Oh, and I tend towards lesbians, so increasing the number of gay dudes who might reciprocate isn't a plus.
No, I still don't particularly see a reason you'd want to do it. Well, no...I take that back. If you've written off bisexuals into a stereotype or romanticised them to the point of fantasy, I guess, but those hardly seem like good reasons.
I'm asking if you would take a pill that would alter your preferences.Sofus said:
Your sexual preferences have nothing to do with your personality.
yeah its a frying pan, it was a shitty pun on Pansexuality but i could probably think of a few uses for it that its best we ignore.elvor0 said:What's a Skillet, out of curiosity? I'm assuming it's not a frying pan. Unless like you say, you do really like some depraved stuffFeedmeketamine said:
No, because this is just as insulting as "offering" gay folk a "cure" for their gayness. Its not about opening up options to me, its fundamentally changing who we are. Straight folk are straight, gay folk are gay and bi-'s are bi. They should remain that way because thats WHO THEY ARE.
Just like I would like to remain straight, because its who I am in part and changing that would change a lot about me and I may not end up liking who I am.
Plus it was hard enough being straight and finding someone I could click with, it would be even more confusing to have two pools to select from and potentially way more heartbreak.

I'm sorry but I am going to stop you right here. Sexuality by definition is a major component of your personality and to say otherwise is either expressing ignorance or being disingenuous. Whether you like it or not it's a part of your personality. Sex drive has been shown time and time again to be a major motivating factor of many human behaviors for both good and ill.Use_Imagination_here said:
No, but not for any moral reason or anything. I say no because with how much homophobia is still very much a thing, and people still ridicule others for it, it still really isn't a good time to be of a different sexuality than the "norm". That, and the majority of people(at least from what I have seen) still seem to be heterosexual, and I'd hate having to deal with sexual tension from both males and females, especially if I knew they were hetero and therefore had no chance with them, and never really have people that I can just completely relax around like I can with guys.
But if this were some kind of future world where bisexuality and homosexuality were completely accepted by society and not a means for ridicule/discrimination, and most, if not all people were bisexual, then I probably would take the pill, as I am not particularly attached to my heterosexuality, it's just what works best for me at my given place and time.

SEXUALITY is a very important part of your personality, yes. Whether or not you express it towards one gender or both is a preference.jklinders said:
Would you consider a man who only dates redheads and a man who only dates blondes to have immensely different personalities, purely based on that?
Arguing semantics is not going to make your point for you. You acknowledged my point in your post and failed to counter it with your example. So I am really a little confused about why you bothered answering me.Use_Imagination_here said:
To make myself clearer. Who you associate with and how you associate with them and in what capacity you associate with them are all parts of your personality. You change one part of it, you change the rest. It really is that simple.
Okay first get off your high horse, we're ALL arguing semantics here. If your not arguing semantics then what the hell are you arguing?jklinders said:
I was gonna argue more, but then I realized that we are indeed arguing semantics, and there's no fucking point to this. My particular definition of the word "personality" is utterly irrelevant.
So whatever, you win.
Clearly no one won as we seemed to have somehow misunderstood each other. I was merely stating that personality and preferences are closely tied to each other. You are trying really hard to show a separation. I disagree strongly with you in that. Then we got bitchy with each other. I apologize for my part in that but my argument stands.
Simply put: I find it a stupidly inconsequential change, and as it is a stupidly inconsequential change that represents a noticeable shift in the way I think, I reject it on principle. Hence my hypothetical "Prefer Butterscotch over Chocolate Ice Cream" pill (which can still kindly jump off a bridge).Xaio30 said:
Aside from that, I'm not exactly starving for people I'm attracted to, so increasing the pool even further isn't much of a selling point. You might as well be trying to sell me Venezuelan air to breathe. I'm sure it's perfectly good, but why would I even bother when my local air fulfills all my needs already? It's not that there's anything wrong with the Venezuelan air or anything, it's just a pointless investment for me. So too is it the case with this hypothetical pill. You say "You're attracted to more people" I say "Why should I care? I'm attracted to plenty of people already". "More" means very little unless the subject is in short supply.
