I got looked at up and down, by the gay men. It made me feel a bit strange, but I knew that was just how they felt, so it was fine. I was in no position to say anything because I did or said nothing, I was just passing through. True, it was a very gay area, but that is like me blaming a woman for looking at me in a "heterosexual" neighborhood. What can I say, the guys liked the way I looked, I was flattered in an offbeat sort of way. I have never liked men in that manner, so it really didn't bother me at all. I have a horrible anxiety problem right now, because of a work injury etc. If I could be me again, the way I was, I would do so in a second. That is how I feel. Trust that, if you are attracted to a certian sex, who are we to judge you on it?
Hmmm... I don't know how to respond to that. It struck me in such an odd way... seems as though all of my problems are now miniscule and bizarre. Andrew
Odd way?? How is that? I was just trying to say in a very simple way that you need to be true to yourself I guess. I think that is what I meant, LOL.

No offense... I meant odd as in 'touching', not odd as in strange.

Aww Jesus H Christ, I thought this was a thread from Shinertech, not Shrinertech. Sorry I thought this whole thread was just a ruse.

Well Nik.. if it's a choice, I'd like you to prove it by being turned on by a picture of a naked man.

And I'd like to see you prove that it isn't a choice by showing me the gene that makes ya a homo.

It may not be a gene at all. That is irrelevant. Try to be turned on by a picture of a fat woman. Some things you can't control, and it doesn't matter if its genetic or not.

And if I do get turned on by a picture of a man or a fat woman, by choice, what would you say then?

Shut yer trap Trollomancer.

Did you try it?

Would you believe me if I did? Something tells me that you wouldn't.

I probably wouldn't, but this isn't me. It's about you.

Well, you're the one who asked me to prove it, so you're the one who I would be proving it to.

Your logic astounds me!

I meant.. prove it to yourself. But chances are you wouldn't be turned on, then shocked at the fact that you were wrong, would lie about it.

i do, somehow, smell a lock (or at least mod) coming on for having those pics... but maybe i'm just become paranoid.

Hey, mods like girls too. Or maybe it's the thoughts of the men that bring them in here. I've heard that mods are asexual space beings, so who knows.

I hear Dr.Laura mention rehab clinics numerous times. And they claim a high success rate correcting errant behaviour. You don't have to be that way!! Isn't that great?? There's hope for you.

Were your parents divorced or did you grow up in a dysfuctional home? (No animosity intended, I'm just curious)

I'm sure if you search the web there is a group that turns gays to straights. I don't think it works, but it would be worth a try.

My parents were not divorced, but I didn't have the greatest childhood. The details are probably still lurking around in the AT archives somewhere.

Yeah, my adopted brother's best friend turned out to be gay. I think that for now I'll just work on improving myself and such... I need to try and get out more, for one. I know that life's a struggle... I'm learning that the hard way.

<FONT face=Verdana size=1>Ameesh, believe me, I AM being serious.</FONT>

Thanks!

Teehee...now alls we gotta do is get shriner to ruin a few keyboards to those pics and our job here is done!

You said you were disinterested in sex Shriner, then you said I'd take a good man any day....

Lemme tell you that caught me by suprise. Dude...every minute you spend thinking about how to change your sexuality is gonna make you even more miserable when you realize you can't. Ponder how to change the other things in your life. Once your in good shape, with good confidence, and school behind you then you can worry about lifestyle changes.....but something tells me ur a boy lover for good if none of those pics of mine tickled something inside of you... :)

Well... I intended to say that I'd take a good man over those women any day. I am interested in sex... I just try to be less interested than I actually am :confused:

I'll try to heed your advice. But no, nothing about those pics tickled my fancy... lol

On second thought I'll leave you with a single thought.....

my hopes are that it will haunt you for the rest of the night while I'm studying, and I will be working my magic while writing outlines.






The thought I leave you with is:


Hairy Male Butthole! (no pic needed, thank goodness)

have you tried watching porn? like lesbian porn or something? did you get anything out of it? get on kazaa and hit up google and start looking at as many women as possible.... i think you might eventually get a response from the little guy.

right, and dr. laura doesn't have ANY agenda to push, and those "rehab" clinics wouldn't have any reason to inflate or outright lie about their "success." if you want the real scoop on those clinics (with a comedic edge), watch the movie But I'm A Cheerleader.
