Poll question: Situational homosexuality?
If you were isolated on a desert island with only members of the same sex for the rest of your life, would you?

1. Of course
I find women to be just as beautiful as men, even though I prefer men.

6. Nah
From the looks of things at the moment I may be an unwillingly celibate heterosexual the rest of my life anyway and while it may be a bit depressing at times it's not that bad... plus, I just don't swing that way...

7. I think I'm gonna say no...
But, you never know what twenty years on a luscious tropical Island will do to ya. lol

Althought on a serious note I believe that for the most part your sexual preference is purely physical from the aspect of sexual gratification. Just cuz I'm stuck on an Island with another guy doesn't mean eventually I will want to have sex with him. I guess I just don't see the diffrence between getting of with my hand or someone else getting me off. I mean yeah sure, it's a diffrent feeling...But I've been whacking it for 7 years and it still does the trick. Doesn't mean I don't prefer having a female partner.

18. You pretty much said what I was thinking
Even if I were to indulge myself w/ a woman, that wouldn't mean I didn't have a natural attraction for men. That's just who I am.

10. EDIT...
Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 03:55 AM by Delano
I'm afraid my answer might have been in slightly poor taste.

Let's just say there might be some things I might be open to, but some that I would absolutely not be open to and leave it at that.

16. Sure, why not? So long as they paid me.
Although, on a desert island, the only currency may be coconuts, so I'd have to negotiate a pretty good coconut-poke ratio.

17. Suggested poll edit.
Straight woman: yes or no
Straight man: yes or no
Gay woman: Heterosexual sex: yes or no
Gay man: Heterosexual sex: yes or no

Just a thought.

25. Good point. However, . . . .
the only thing I could think of for Bisexuals was "I'm Bisexual, whatever's there works for me." Sort of misses the point of the poll which was going somewhere sexually that you would not otherwise go but for the situation.

21. I doubt that I would... I'm pretty set in my ways.
I wouldn't rule out an occasional cuddle, though. :D

Considering I'm already homosexual...

You might have phrased your little poll a little more, um, carefully.

26. Before answering, the Freeper in me wants to know
Are there goats on this island? And if so, how fast do they run?

Hehehehe.

27. I'm pretty much a 1 on the Kinsey Scale, but yeah....
That or prison, I'd get still find a way to get some. Otherwise, I definitely prefer the opposite sex.

28. well......
although i'm bisexual, i'd have to ask: what guys are on this island?

johnny depp? hell yes. i don't even need an island for that.

rush limbaugh? i'd live on the opposite side of the island from him and poke him with a pointed stick every time he tried to lay his sweaty, flabby hands on me.

29. This Would be an Interesting Variation:
1) Restrict the poll to straight people.
2) Have different responses for men and women.

See how the responses difffer.

You could also have a poll for gays only, aksing whether they'd go hetero. Just a thought.

30. Sure
Of course, knowing Murphy's Law and my ability to adhere to it, my mental wandering up and down the Kinsey Scale (posted about last week, in probably more detail than people wanted, sorry) would take a significant dive down and all women would seem repulsive.

But in the abstract, assuming that the desert island wasn't in fact a repulsive idiot leper colony -- in which case celibacy would be just dandy, thank you very much -- sure. At least once, anyway. If I tried it and didn't like it, then maybe not more than once. (That's pretty much my philosophy on most experiences anyway, desert island or not.)

32. I've taken some of the suggestions in here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1313347

There's a new poll to vote on. Some get on over there!
