I do not like being straight, do I have to be? Or can I become gay?

No, not in the truest sense of the word. Sure you can just have sex with guys but that isn't just what being gay is about. There is a whole life outlook that goes with it that you would not be able to relate to, or change to accommidate at a physcological level.

No it's not possible for a person to change their sexual orientation..It is possible for a person to have sex with anyone they want--basically it all comes down to friction.....but that's not the same as attraction or desire....why don't you go ahead and get a straight person to be gay for say 5 months...they can always switch back if it's so easy to do...and then you can prove a theory. This question reminds me of a question last night by a woman who asked if she was a lesbian...she was only having sex with men...but could only get off by imagining that she was with a woman. Well seems pretty evident to me what her orientation is.

Your sexual orientation is your own. If you are in any doubt take time to yourself and indeed seek help by discussing heterosexuality and homosexuality with those that practise. There are times in ones life when we hold great doubt of what or who we are.
Stress and unhappiness can make a person change their views on all aspects of life. I know someone who had been married, gave birth to 3 children, threw her husband out for sleeping around then continued to have an 'affair' with him - much to the distaste of his mistress whom he lived with - then had and still is living with a person of her own sex.
Many people go through life doing what is expected - getting married raising children and feel life has passed them by. Come the age of 40, 50 60+ realise that their own sex and their way of life gives them the zest for life. Each to their own way is what I say.
Again if you have always been a vegetarian because that is what you were brought up to - would you be wrong to try fish or meat if only to see if this was acceptable.
Be yourself. Be Happy. Your choice.

You really can't change your orientation, but you can change your actions. If you don't like being straight & want to "become" gay, you probably have a bisexual or gay orientation to begin with but haven't yet realized it. You can certainly change who you have sex with. Many people who are gay have had sex with someone of the opposite sex because they thought that was the normal & correct way, only to find that their attraction for those of their own sex was overwhelming. Some people are truly bisexual in that they are attracted to those of both sexes (and usually not equally, there's usually a preference of one over the other). If you really don't like being "straight" it's probably because you really aren't, but are more attracted to those of your own sex.

A friend of mine used to think it was possible to condition yourself to liking the opposite or same sex. However I tend to believe you are what you are. I'm sure anyone could sleep with the same sex etc etc but the thing is would you want to or would the idea before or after it revolt you.
I've never met a straight guy or woman who wanted to try or wanted to be gay.
Good luck with it, whatever you decide.

Do you enjoy looking at people of the same sex? Are you attracted to them?
There's always the option of asexuality... (http://www.asexuality.org/home/)
I don't think it's so much a matter of choosing, as it is of how you feel & about the people you are attracted to. It's possible that you just haven't met the right person. It's also possible you are indeed gay.

No, I'm afraid you are stuck with who you fancy. No one can change that. Perhaps you need to work on relating with girls. Perhaps you fancy them but can't strike up a conversation? Do you find it easier to talk to guys? Try to work out why you dont' like talking to girls. They are not a scary as all that, you just need to meet ones you relate to. Join some clubs where people do stuff you enjoy - you are bound to find a nice heterosexual girl there.

If it feels like the right thing to do... then by all means go for it! You are the only one who decides who and what your into. In the end of it all you will always be you.

You do not become gay, you either are or you aren't, however this makes it no easier to admit to either yourself or those around you. Just have confidence in those you trust. Failing that, remember: you are never alone.

You are only fulling your self. It does not
work that way.
