Heterosexual Questionnaire


  • What do you think caused you heterosexuality?

  • When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?

  • Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase and you may grow out of it?

  • Is it possible your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

  • Isn't it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

  • Heterosexuals have histories of failures in gay relationships. Do you think you may have turned to heterosexuality out of fear of rejection?

  • If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer that?

  • If heterosexuality is normal, why are a disproportionate number of mental patients heterosexual?

  • Who have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?

  • Your heterosexuality doesn't offend me as long as you don't try to force it on me. Why do you people feel so compelled to seduce others into your sexual orientation?

  • If you choose to nurture children, would you want them to heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?

  • The great majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you really consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?

  • Why do you insist on being so obvious, and making a public spectacle of your heterosexuality? Can't you just be what you are and keep it quiet?

  • How can you ever hope to become a whole person if you limit yourself to a compulsive, exclusive, heterosexual object choice and remain unwilling to explore and develop your normal, natural, healthy, God-given homosexual potential?

  • Heterosexuals are noted for assigning themselves and each other to narrowly restricted, stereotyped sex-roles. Why do you cling to such unhealthy role-playing?

  • Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

  • With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rating is spiraling. What are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

  • How could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual, considering the menace of overpopulation?

  • There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed with which you might be able to change if you really wanted to. Have you considered aversion therapy?

  • Do heterosexuals hate and/or distrust others of their own sex? Is that what makes them the way they are?
