Could you...

TheSlyMoogle · 01-05-2005, 03:23 PM

I have a question, and a very strange one at that. Before I go on though, wouldn't this forum have been better left alone until February? Well... Maybe we'll do Black History next month instead.

Anyway my question is:

Do you think it's possible for you, yes that means YOU, to fall in love with someone of the same gender as yourself, even though you might be heterosexual, or if you were homosexual do you think you could fall in love with someone of the opposite sex?

I mean do you think you could fall in love with this person and care for them, even be able to passionately uh you know *GET IT ON* with them?

Just curious.

My Answer:
I think that it would ultimately be possible for me to fall in love with someone of my own gender, but I feel that I could never really give them 100% of my interest. I would always be checking out girls and the drive for that would be to immense to really cut off. So I would never really try to get involved with someone of the same sex or anything like that.

Same sex just doesn't work for me. I'm completely straight.

Love has the big two making it up: Attraction and Affection. I could never feel affection for another guy, so it wouldn't work out. It's an instinctual thing.

I don't think I would go that far with another Dude. The majority of people right now who I care about the most are guy's, but I could never see myself being involved with them in anything sexual.

Perhaps a more interesting question: Would you fall in love with yourself?

deathgirl656 · 01-05-2005, 04:56 PM

yes i could

I think about it this way...picture yourself in the army....no women around, now im not saying your looking for someone to f***, im saying you spend all your time with say a certain guy, you start to feel for him (or girl if your a girl). You might not want to have sex with them, but you care for them.

And No, I wouldnt be able to fall in love with a member of the same sex.

Happydude · 01-05-2005, 05:24 PM

no way...no how.

although i do call guys handsome and sexy from time to time...and only with happydudette

, but i am totally strait...*thinks of getting it on with a guy*

ulala06 · 01-05-2005, 07:28 PM

hmm... this is kinda hard to answer because i've never even truly LIKED any girls. lol. sure, i'll agree that someone of my gender is hot, and i really think so but i could never have a relationship or "fall in love" with a girl i don't think. i really don't like girls. *shrug*

Nah, my relationship with myself is strictly physical.

Anyway....to answer the question, no. I just don't swing that way, no matter how many islands you abondon me on with only dudes, and no matter what insane hypothetical scenario you create, it won't happen. The male anatomy is mostly physical anyway.....you leave me at war, I won't fall in love with a dude.....I might be able to secret a part of me to a brick wall or something, but that's strictly physical.

I disagree. I think otherwise, actually...

I doubt that I'll ever be attracted to a female. I do perve on girls alot but other than admiring their bodies and silently hoping that I look 1/8 like them, there hardly is any type of attraction that i feel will lead to the "getting it on part"

I'm not ruling anything out though

. People change.

With affection, well, I'm pretty affectionate with my female friends. In your context, I think you are probably referring to a more intimate form of affection. Non sexual form of contact such as hugging can also be intrepreted as affection.

I think I have used the word 'affection' and its various forms too many times throughout the last paragraph. I can feel my English teacher getting a heart attack >.<

hmm, tough question (and I could care less who read what I say, *cough*)

I could never fall in love with the person of my same gender but if I had a girlfriend or wife or whatever who wanted a threesome with 2 guys and her, I wouldn't mind (as long as she returns it later with 2 females, etc..). Other then that, I won't just go with a guy only for months/years. Just doesn't feel right. Females for teh win

It is against my programming.

I may have fun with a guy and have many things in common with him. In fact, he may be attractive. However, I myself am attracted to women, it is how I was designed.

I require more of "love" than emotional dependancy. And, no matter how well I get along with a guy, I'll never have the desire to do the things to him that I'd do to women (or my girlfriend in particular)
