Can gay people be cured into being heterosexuals?

Is it a disease or brain malfunction that is "cureable", or just how the person is and "uncureable"?

How would the cure work, aversion therapy or something else?

no clue.  I know one person that wasn't gay but was a little effeminite that was convinced that he was gay by a gay person.

Only if they really want to be.  But if they did, they wouldn't be gay.

If you gave a straight person enough of the correct hormones you could "cure" them of being straight as well most likley.

I don't know?

But I can share a thought that my grandpa said about bi-sexuals.

"Boy, there ain't no such thing as a bi-sexual. You either suck cock or you don't!!!"

That would make a good sigline.......

It is not curable. Once you've had sweaty man sex, you can never take that back.

He was gay, he just didn't know it yet.

There are plenty of gay men who don't fully admit to themselves that they are gay until their mid-20's after multiple relationships with women.

I personally know of a few cases where this happened.  My aunt dated a guy for 4 years who turned out to be gay.

It's just the way their brains are wired.  They can't be converted anymore than you can.  People that insist it's a choice obviously feel the urge to go both ways, which explains their vitriolic reactions to homosexuals.

Religions seem to get involved with the "gays are wired that way" part, as if its the way they were created it would not be a sin.

I don't think you can give someone hormones and make them gay.  There was a study a couple of years ago about something in gay peoples brain chemistry being different.

You are assuming there IS such a thing as homosexuality…

OK, I’m pretty darn sure there is in the sense that people engage in homosexual acts. (Never witnessed it personally though, so I have to take people’s word for it.) But there isn’t one single condition that makes people want to have homosexual sex. And that’s what’s missing in the whole discussion. We treat a symptom like it’s a single condition and it’s not.

For example, there are two gay men I know through a mutual friend and they act like normal well adjusted, people and are in a long term apparently stable relationship with each other. Their condition (if you want to call it that) appears to be the result of one abnormality in their otherwise healthy mental development. Those two don’t have anything in common with some of the incredibly maladjusted people who also carry the label of gay.

I’ve known both men and women who go through some experimentation but aren’t really homosexuals. They seem to be somewhat unsatisfied by normal sex and are constantly searching for something that will satisfy them. I figure a lot of the men who are always hopping in bed with another woman are in this category. At some point they will try out same sex relationships, probably disguised as a three way. (I know a few people that have followed this path) Maybe they will satisfaction in the gay life, maybe not.

And that brings up another point. I wonder just how much of the stereotypical homosexual’s behavior results from a fruitless search for satisfaction. I guess once they accept the label of “gay” they feel compelled to travel down that road as far as they can take it. Just getting them to reject the label might help bring them back… But they still aren’t going to know how to find satisfaction so they might end up in Europe at a sheep brothel somewhere…

Anyway, it might be possible to fix some homosexuals. But considering how little we really know about psychology we would be risking doing more damage and making things worse. I would much rather have a gay family member who forms long lasting monogamous relationships than a ‘straight’ one who screws sheep or has to dress up like a cartoon animal to get off.

Hey, actions have concequences.  And the idea that HIV is not a disease spread by homosexual males has been demonstrated as false, by history.

The only other significant way people get HIV is by sharing dirty needles (How my aunt, who has a hot spanish girlfriend ) got it.  

Where is the outbreak among hetero's???

No, you can't be "cured"; you are different from the general hetero population, not "sick" in some way that needs a "cure". I can't believe anyone even thinks that way anymore.

Apples and Oranges.  Yes, hormone levels certainly can have an effect on sex drive, but that has nothing to do with altering sexual orientation.

A gay man can be made heterosexual ONLY if it is possible that you could be made gay.

So ask yourself...is there ANYTHING a person could say, do or show you that would make you sexually desire a man? Is there some magically formula that would make you want to suck cock all day long?

Most people think that sexuality is a binary function. That is, you are straight or you are gay.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and there is a whole spectrum between being attacted to females, being attracted to both, and being attracted to males. This works for both sexes. And as far as science is concerned, most of the persons position in this spectrum of opportunity occurs during the 8th through 12th week of pregnancy.

A heterosexual female just happens to be attracted to males in very similar ways that a homosexual male is attracted to males.
