Situational Homosexuality/Heterosexuality

[Anarcho-Socialist]

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.

1. I'm gay and I would!

Definitely. Desert island situation, sure. :-)

[Insider]

11. same here

i'll pick you if you pick me! LOL

[terrya]

16. That works!

We might be thinking of others, though. :-)

[Bonhomme Richard]

2. Would I what? n/t

[ContraBass Black]

3. I am straight and I would not

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.

4. As long as I get to choose which one...

sure... Will there be surgical facilities on the island? :evilgrin:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

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.

[Misunderestimator]

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. :)

5. Sorry, it's Rosy DePalma and her Five Fingered Orchestra for me!

Choice #2: I'm straight and I wouldn't.

8. I Gay & I agree with you!

:)

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).

[nini]

10. no.. I have to be attracted to someone to go there with them

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.

[TrogL]

12. You forgot bi's

We like everybody. :evilgrin:

[geniph]

13. I'm bisexual and I would

don't even need a desert island.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. i am bi

i would be just fine and dandy.

[lazarus]

15. I would

I'm bi, so no big deal.

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

[LDS Jock]

17. Gay and would NOT

I would just have to be the master of my domain.
