Poll: Would you take a pill that makes you bisexual?
- Thread starter Use_Imagination_here
- Start date
I feel as though this entire thread is a trap but here goes:
No because I have no desire to have sex with guys or take a pill that makes me think I want to, I'm absolutely fine how I am and don't need to change for as far as I can gather no possible reason apart from I dunno, more dates involving football?

ahh, I get it now. Though truth be told I was anticipating some crazy story involving one, or slang for something. Alas, I'll have to go elsewhere for my frying pan themed erotica.Feedmeketamine said: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 worries my friend, im not sure if there a site dedicated to pan erotica but if there isnt there definitely should be, if only I had a camera
It's like an interesting logic test, this question. The people who answer "no, because I don't like dicks" have failed the test, because they haven't realised that taking the pill would remove that distaste, i.e, the very thing keeping you from taking the pill would cease to be an issue after you took it.
The "no, because it would change my personality" is a more interesting answer. I don't think it should change your personality, any more than waking up one day and finding you now like caramel ice cream as well as chocolate, but then again, perhaps it might. Perhaps me having one more thing in common with gay men and heterosexual women might have a drastic effect on the way I interact with society. Perhaps I might see things I had never seen before, empathise on a level I never previously could, and be offended or delighted by things I never would have before. I don't think becoming bi would mean I'd transform into some weird, camp fetishist (like some people seem to think would happen), but it would give me a new perspective. And that new perspective might then change my other beliefs, attitudes and actions. Who knows? One things for sure, I think it is cowardly to worry about having a shift in personality. Personalities change throughout your life anyway, so it isn't exactly a crazy thing that is being proposed.

No. I'd rather take one that would make me asexual. Being constantly driven by an instinct to have sex is inconvenient, especially when I know that I would be a terrible person to be in a relationship with. I'm far too paranoid, selfish and generally uninterested to attain a healthy relationship, never mind getting as far as sex. Removing that desire would be a giant distraction gone from my life.
Ya know, most of those links I cannot trust at all. For easy reasons. They are bias and unreliable new sources. Ill refute each one though. Considering you dont like in Texas, nor even America, you have no experience here. Hell, dude, I know people who are into alternative lifestyles (hell, I subscribe to it, im not going to say exactly what it is, but it deals with D/s)Chairman Miaow said:
1. I agree with him. There was no reason for the dance. Nothing big there, just a clash of opinion. He may of said it a little harsh, but its true. This is just like the R&P topic where two students were suspended for wearinga confederate flag Tshirt, but the gay pride student wasnt.
2. Im sorry, thats not a reliable source to me. There is no evidence, and if there are no major news sources talking about it, I cant trust it.
3. The title of the link is 'lgbt', I dont trust it. Just like the gal who called a comedian transphobic and said he called her 'he, thing, it" and laughed at her, when he only said 'This person!' to keep from being on either side.
4. From what I read, she wasnt teaching a class at all, she just made a normal statement, 'They can do whatever they want, but I think its gross'. Nothing homophobic or discriminatory. You might actually want to use discriminatory more than homophobic, people mis use that word all the time.
5. Look at the third paragraph, cant trust that news source.
Look, I can type into google, 'Proof the Nazi's had the right idea' and come up with a bunch of bullshit that isnt real or doesnt make sense, doesnt mean its true.
How about you let the person who lives in Texas, knows people in different alternative lifestyles, and can attest to the mood down here tell you how it is, instead of thinking something that isnt true.
So, im not 'pretending' about anything, and im being defensive because you are using words such as 'homophobic' which you have been conditioned to, to describe my home state that I LIVE IN AND HAVE EXPERIENCED.
ok i am bisexual but i will go on a hypothetical if i wasn't i would say no to such a drug because i cant think of a reason good enough to change such a core part of someones identity it is messing with the mind and it is one thing i will never condone it is one of the reasons i despise religion and would like nothing better than to see it go the way of the dodo people who believe and brainwash others into believing it are destroying peoples core identity the only thing that makes us really us and damaging that is tantamount to murder and therefore is unforgivable and the same thing goes for this imaginary drug its changing the mind and is killing a core part of a persons identity
The only reason why I could see someone wanting this is if they were gay, and wanted to fit into societal norms better. It might also be valid for two best friends who love each other, but aren't sexually attracted to each other. If they both take the pill, then they'd be able to have sex. I can't say I've loved any of my friends like that though.
All valid points, although at my age and my social circle the chances of me getting shit about it are slim to none. I also wouldn't be interested in dating anyone that would be significantly put off by the revelation I was bi, even if I was straight. Kinda like a girl not being interested because she's a racist - are you really losing out there?Zachary Amaranth said:
All things considered I still think it'd be worth it. I'd like to see what sex with another dude is like, but since I'm straight it's hard to do so without it being an unpleasurable experience.

Pretty sure that I'm using it correctly and just saying I don't agree/I don't believe you isn't refuting anything. There is absolutely no need to be so rude. How about this then, at a legislative level, Texas is joint for the 4th worst state for equality based on these equality milestones:

God, you are wrong on every level. Now I can see what Zachary was talking about.rhodo said:
Your analogy to masturbation was just stupid. People aren't sexually attracted to their hands (well, MOST aren't), and they don't fantasise about their hands while they masturbate. They think about other sexual imagery, or watch porn - the hand just provides physical stimulus.
On the contrary, if I'm having sex with another person it's because I'm sexually interested in them. Having sex is a lot more effort than masturbating, so why anyone would sleep with a sex they're NOT interested in in place of masturbation is beyond me. I guess if someone is fucking a dude while pretending it's a girl you'd arguably be correct there, but to claim that's the case with ALL bisexuals (i.e. they're only really interested in one sex and "fake it" for the other) is insanely ignorant.
