The Scientific Experiment that I would like to Conduct

LOL!

 

Forget research, let's make it a bet and put it on HBO or Nova or some other TV show.

All those "deviants" can try to deliver for Anna Kournikova, Heidi Klum, whoever else doing some striptease.

Then those deviants can try to get all aroused for Aston Kucher, Cuttino Mobley, etc doing whatever seduction dance works for them.

Clock the "time to full arousal."

The winners get a constitutional ammendment on gay marriage in their favor.

I'd take this bet in a second.

 

since I don't buy your basic theory that homosexuality is caused by environment....I would say that your experiment would fail

 

Padgett...go ahead and conduct your experiment. Maybe we can start a fund on this BBS for your bail amount.

 

I'll answer the counter-question: if you had an ideal man seduce a heterosexual male, I think you would have success a small percentage of the time. Flipping that feeling, I think padgett's experiment would also work a small percentage of the time. But success won't mean the subject has flipped his orientation.

If this is the axiom of your theory, then I wouldn't expect a high rate of success from a single instance. You're saying that an inherent heterosexual can turn gay under the certain social pressures. If so, wouldn't it take a like amount of work to flip the person back? I wouldn't think it was something you could do overnight.

 

Ouch, hope you didn’t waste too much time with that Barkley pseudo science. If you are really in a pinch try the Peter Vecsey ‘Strategic guide to high-energy particle collisions and the fundamental nature of trading non-existent matter’. You can’t go wrong with this cornerstone of modern scientific literature.

 

KingCheetah, you are brilliant. All hail!

Speaking of Vecsey, I wonder how long it would take Peter to turn a heterosexual male into a homosexual male. Can we measure this in geologic time?

 

I'd be willing to bet that more gays guys come into to contact with beautiful women more than heterosexuals and have more personal friends who are beautiful women more than heterosexuals.

 

The King is dead; Long live the KingCheetah.

 

hmm, ive seen someone want to conduct that experiment before. he got rejected by a girl who said that she was a lesbian and couldnt take the hit to his pride when his (straight guy) friend started dating her.

anyway, anyone who has ever spent time around gay people, and actually treated them like real human beings, would know that that experiment wouldn't work how you like. at best, you might be able to convince someone to be bisexual.

 

All you need for this experiment is a little Kramer.......


Susan: Kramer! Kramer! Kramer, open up, I know you're in there!

Jerry: Susan!

Susan: Kramer!

Jerry: What is going on?

Susan: You know what's going on? First, he vomits on me. Then, he burns

down my father's cabin. And now, he's taken Mona away from me.

George: He stole your girlfriend?

Susan: Yes. She's in *love* with him.

George: Amazing. I drive them to lesbianism, he brings 'em back.

 

reality TV sucks.

 

For what it's worth padgett, my last job required me to view online p*rnography on a daily basis. I would say 95% of these websites were of naked women. I had this job for a year and didn't get aroused once by those images. I've also been to strip clubs and nothing happened there either.

What pressures are there in society to be gay? From my experiences it's exactly the opposite.

You are making the assumption that sexuality is based on sexual acts. When you were still a virgin did you consider yourself to be heterosexual? Is your attraction to a woman based solely on the desire to have intercourse with her?

Do you believe humans are inherently incapable of being in "True Romantic Love" with a person of the same sex? The first couple to get married in SF last week were two 80 year old women who had been together over FIFTY years. Do you think deviant sexual conduct is the only thing that has kept them together that long?

 

did ya also know that a giant chairot is responsbile for the sun rising each day??

people becoming gay for a sense of inclusion? are you shi*tting me?

 

Mind-boggling. Yes, my mind is boggled. This forum is so entertaining!

 

I wish all you chardonnay sipping elitists who are standing in the way of Charles Barkley and Science would quit naysaying for a second.

It's about time somebody began scientifically investigating the genetic roots of homosexual behavior, and the Ground Mound of Rebound and Padgett316 are the only two mofos I see stepping up to the plate on this unless I'm missing something.

 

I think your biggest problem in your experiment is your technique. If you are trying to get a gay man to be attracted to a woman, you don't show him Beyonce, blah, blah, blah, you lock him in a room with a girl that looks like a dude. Amatures.

 

Ever see M Butterfly (based on a true story)? there is evidence that guys can be preconditioned to be attracted to a certain thing.

 

For the records - what Barkley said was down right stupid. Someday I hope he would learn to finally stick to what he knows instead of delving his insiensitive mind into things he know little or nothing about.

Padgett
Without prejudice, I think it is insulting to the folks that are not heterosexuals to surgest such experiment. I sense superiority in your planned experiment - that you really do not see any reason one should be gay. It is a sign of ignorance. It is possible that you surgested the experiment with an open and clean mind but if you step back and think about it you will realize how unfair your surgestion really is. That is why I support the first 2 responses to this thread - lets flip the table on you and see how you would like it.
