1. Why?
It's okay to be attracted to members of the opposite sex. As long as you are not in a committed relationship AND only consenting adults are involved, you should do what is natural to you.

5. What great timing! I'm starting a 'camp' to help people in your situation.
Call me, prices are reasonable.

6. Why? Heterosexuality is a perfectly acceptable lifestyle choice.
Some of my best friends practice that lifestyle.

:sarcasm: cuz it's the law AND because you just never know.

11. Why would you want to practice deviant behavior?
Opposite sex attraction is an abomination. I'm sure I can cherry-pick a mistranslated Bible quote that says so, and if not, I'll just make it up.

36. I believe so.
However, the rule says nothing about women touching men, so that's a grey area right there.

19. Just watched that episode on Dvd last night!
Currently going through the entire series and love it. Never watched in while it was broadcast and I am thinking that this really is the way to enjoy a TV series.... on my schedule and without commercials.

you're welcome to pleasure yourself with my body. I can't miss my appointment to officially become a woman. Actually though, somebody should dress up as Palin with a box and a button for Halloween. ;)

and I want to rid myself of them. All they've ever brought me was misery and miserable partners. I'm interested in being Ex-Straight now. I've heard the Scientologists may have a cure.

37. I don't really have a problem if people prefer an opposite attraction lifestyle,
it's just that they're always flaunting it, what with the hand-holding and the weddings and all that in-your-face ickiness...
