Poll question: Situational Homosexuality/Heterosexuality
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1311740

This is based on an earlier poll with some suggested modifications.

If you are straight and you were on a desert island with a population of 500 adults of the same sex, would you?

If you are gay and you were on a desert island with a population of 500 adults of the opposite sex, would you?

Things to consider:
* The 500 people will be a various range of attractiveness and would be an average cross section of society.
* You're on the island for the rest of your life with no hope of escape.

Maybe a few decades of desperation (five or more) would change my mind, but I think not. Not out of rupulsion or moral concerns, but rather, personal preference.

6. There are no surgical facilities I'm afraid!
If you would only consider it if the person is good-looking, then you should vote "I would", as you would consider it and have the potential for it.

7. It wasn't plastic surgery I was talking about....
if you know what I mean...

for the record... I'm gay and I would... but that's easy to say without seeing the exhibits... I reserve the right to change my mind. :)

9. I'd imagine for many people, it wouldn't even have to be a desert island
There could be one woman in a group of 500 who I found attractive, and who liked me back, independent of "it's this or celibacy" concerns. (Or not.)

For the record, I checked straight and yes (as pagerbear said in the other thread, most people aren't 100% anyway).

10. no.. I have to be attracted to someone to go there with them
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 02:14 PM by nini
I like men and need to have some level of feelings for to have sex and that won't change as it's who I am.


So, no.. I'll be celibate I guess.

15. I would
I'm bi, so no big deal.

Of course, I'm married, and monogamous, so it's all hypothetical anyway.
