Small girl, 9 yo: - "Mommy, how is about men and women ? You know what do I think about." Mother: - "Ehm... uhhh... umm... (she begins the story)" Girl: - No. NO!!! I know it from the school. Tell me, how do come upon people these weird things..."

Straightness is voluntary sock puppet. Perhaps you should pray for gay today.

Don't worry about it. It happens even in the best of families. The main thing is not to act on it.

I've been thinking about when I made the decision to be straight and I can't put my finger on exactly when that happened.
I gained my first girlfriend at the age of six, we had a great time playing with mud in the garden. Had I already chosen to be straight?
I first tried to kiss a girl in the playground at age nine. She reported me to the dinner lady. I can't remember picking between trying to kiss a boy or a girl, I went straight for the girl.
In fact, since then I cannot remember ever being sexually or emotionally or spiritually aroused by a man so I guess I must have made my choice to be straight at some point before I was six.
That said, I don't feel able to change my decision. Why is that if being gay is a choice? It would certainly improve my dress sense and capacity for empathy and compassion. Oh well.

Will some TBM that views MDB please submit my name for the temple prayer rolls for me?
If that doesn't work, I have some straight porn and electrodes right here. It won't make you gay, but I get a big kick out of it. And if your health insurance won't pay, you have to. I get a big kick out of that too.
