I doubt very much if I am going to change your mind, but I simply disagree that sexual attraction to people of your own sex is something that can be changed, at least not for most. I suppose if one were sexually attracted to both men and women, one could simply not have sex with the "wrong" sex. But, if one is only attracted to one's own sex, it isn't going to change. How much psychological treatment would it take for you to become homosexual, is how I would suggest you look at it. I could engage in sexual acts with an attractive woman, in theory, although I never have, but I would prefer a man. The libido wants what the libido wants. You say it is a disorder. Again, we disagree. Wanting sex with children is a disorder. Wanting sex with a willing adult of the opposite sex is a normal preference of a minority of the population. I have been around homosexual men and lesbian women all my life, and they are otherwise normal people in every respect. I pity the poor fools who try to convince themselves that they are heterosexual, when they are not, and marry, and have children, with innocent spouses. I think it is a travesty of marriage.

Just ran across this sad story: "In this morning's San Francisco Chronicle I read about "Russian Roulette" games and the sport of "barebacking" in the gay community. ("In a Castro district apartment house, an $8 admission fee promises a night of communal gay sex. The only rules: no clothes, no condoms, no discussion of HIV ... At a 'Russian roulette party' set for next month in Houston, a Web posting seeks three healthy men to have sex with five other men. Four of those must be HIV negative, but the fifth is already infected with the AIDS virus . . ."
