A Heterosexual Questionnaire


  1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

  2. When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual?

  3. Is it possible that heterosexuality is a phase that you will grow out of?

  4. Is it possible that you are heterosexual because you fear the same sex?

  5. If you have never slept with someone of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer that? Is it possible you merely need a good gay experience?

  6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexuality? How did they react?

  7. Heterosexuality isn't offensive as long as you leave others alone. Why, however, do so many heterosexuals try to seduce others into their orientation?

  8. Most child molesters are heterosexual. Do you consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexuals? Heterosexual teachers particularly?

  9. Why are heterosexuals so blatant, always making a spectacle of their heterosexuality? Why can't they just be who they are and not flaunt their sexuality by kissing in public, wearing wedding rings, etc.?

  10. How can you have a truly satisfying relationship with someone of the opposite sex, given the obvious physical and emotional differences?

  11. Heterosexual marriage has total societal support, yet over half of all heterosexuals who marry this year will divorce. Why are their so few successful heterosexual relationships?

  12. Given the problems heterosexuals face, would you want your children to be heterosexual? would you consider aversion therapy to try to change them?
