How to turn a gay woman straight
Gay conversion therapy: 'I thought being direct would make me happy'
After struggling to reconcile her sexuality and her religion, Shulli spent over a year undergoing gay conversion therapy
“I just want to be straight and that's the only reason I'm here.”
I closed my eyes and clenched my fists; although we were sat reverse each other deal with to face, I avoided the therapist’s gaze. But I focused intently on his words: “So, your mother worked, you say?" I nodded. That was followed by, “You must feel anxious around boys. Why is that?” I gritted my teeth in response and stayed silent.
I was always terrified before each session as I trudged up the stairs to his office - nervous someone might see me and realise why I was there. I never fully relaxed, my back stiff and my body tense the whole time.
I looked up, trusting him, and he seemed to take that as a sign to continue.
Now, he was asking me to describe how I felt when I saw a young woman I fancied in the gym. “I had butterflies in my stomach,” I said. He nodded and then started asking me to analyse why I
No woman 'totally straight', analyze says
Dr Rieger said it was not known why gay women were more often only aroused by their preferred sex, but he believes it may be to do with the amount of testosterone female babies receive in the womb.
It was feasible, he said, that women who experienced testosterone first in pregnancy had sexual behaviours that were more similar to men, but this has not yet been proven.
He said tests showed similar behaviours occurring in monkeys.
Dr Rieger said the wider conclusions of the examine was that, while the majority of women identified as straight: "Our study shows that, when it comes to what turns them on they are usually bisexual or homosexual, but never totally straight".
However, he added the investigate did not necessarily indicate women were repressing their true sexual preferences, but that their sexualities were simply more complex than men's.
"When it comes to straight women and sexual arousal there is such a disconnect between what a woman tells me and what her body does.
"It suggests that it's a differe
There&#;s no one-size-fits all approach to &#;picking up&#; women (I don&#;t know what else to contact it without sounding like a YouTube incel). I&#;ve hooked up with people who have made their intentions clear within the first ten minutes of rendezvous. But I&#;ve also hooked up with people who have been so subtle in their come-ons that I&#;m pretty sure the whole thing happened telepathically. Either way, as a queer female who has been with other genders, one thing has always been clear: when it comes to chatting up girls, lesbians come out on top.
It&#;s hard to say what makes lesbians especially good (at fingering, yes, but also at the stuff that comes beforehand). Maybe it&#;s because we didn&#;t hold many TV shows or films to give us misguided love-related advice growing up, and therefore are generally (not always, my god) a bit more intuitive. Maybe it&#;s because we&#;re women too, and know how we don&#;t want to be picked up (like hitchhikers). Or maybe it&#;s, idk, a weird genetic thing? Who knows. But hetero guys deserve a little bit of lesbian wisdom, as a treat. With that
Some Gays Can Go Unbent, Study Says
May 9 -- Can gay men and women become heterosexual?
A controversial new study says yes — if they really want to. Critics, though, say the study's subjects may be deluding themselves and that the subject group was scientifically invalid because many of them were referred by anti-gay religious groups.
Dr. Robert Spitzer, a psychiatry professor at Columbia University, said he began his study as a skeptic — believing, as major mental health organizations do, that sexual orientation cannot be changed, and attempts to undertake so can even result in harm.
But Spitzer's study, which has not yet been published or reviewed, seems to indicate otherwise. Spitzer says he spoke to men and 57 women who say they changed their orientation from lgbtq+ to straight, and concluded that 66 percent of the men and 44 percent of women reached what he called excellent heterosexual functioning — a sustained, loving heterosexual connection within the past year and getting enough heartfelt satisfaction to rate at least a seven on a point scale.
He said those who changed
