Highly unlikely!
Being totally straight or gay is actually impossible, and both are at the extreme ends of the normal distribution curve.
It follows therefore that if these two conditions are already low probability, then changing between the two extremes is doubly unlikely.
But then again, this argument is based entirely on statistical variance and not real data.

a lot more advantageous everybody is bisexual to a pair degree that many ought to opt to confess, it really is fullyyt accessible that someone who's bi with a call for adult adult males, say a 4 or 5 on the Kinsey Scale, ought to take an pastime in women individuals in some unspecified time sooner or later, that doesn't be a case of a gay guy "turning promptly" yet of a bisexual guy coming to words with who he's. the concept that folk could be completely promptly or completely gay with out center floor is a cultural prejudice with out foundation in surely human habit. in case you seem at human historic past international huge even in cultures like historic Greece the position homosexuality replaced into the norm adult adult males were nonetheless envisioned to marry and performance little ones. Human sexuality is a few distance too complicated for this kind of both-or categorizations that such fairly some people insist on attempting to video demonstrate, shades of gray are some distance more advantageous elementary than organic black or white.

No you can’t change your sexuality, it just doesn’t work that way. You could stop having sex, but your sexuality is still the same. I’m a 40 year old gay man and I know it’s not possible. The interesting thing is that gays will tell you “it’s not possible” and the people who claim is it possible are all straight (so they don’t have any experience of what they’re talking about).
What Lee said was a good example. A lot of young gays and lesbians try to change. They just want to fit into a world that loves and accepts them. All the praying and other stuff doesn’t work. The person only ends up with psychological problems or they try to commit suicide. It is possible for a bisexual to be with one sex and move onto the other.
You also have to remember that not all people who claim to be “gay” are actually homosexual. There are lots of guys who are probably about 80% attracted to men and 20% attracted to women. They have no desire to be in a relationship with a woman, so they identify themselves as “gay”. That also works the other way around; some identify themselves as “straight”, when in fact they’re bisexual. I’m not trying to be disrespectful to bisexuals, I’m just trying to show why it sometimes appears that people have “changed” (they’ve not changed).
Update; what Modern Major said “being totally straight or gay is actually impossible” isn’t true. I’m 100% gay and it’s not a case of “I prefer sex with men”. It’s actually a case of “the thought of sex with women totally disgusts, repulses and makes me feel psychically sick”. I’d rather cut my penis off than have sex with a woman. So don’t come on here saying guys like me are really “bisexual”, no way in hell.

There's only one way:
-Take the the word "homosexual"
-Drop the "homo-" prefix
-Add the prefix "hetero-" to "sexual"
Otherwise, attempts to "cure" homosexuality are abject failures (the "success" rate is less than 0.1%) in converting people to heterosexuality although they do increase the suicide rates in such individuals.
Besides, no ethical/professional psychologist or psychiatrist will attempt to "treat" homosexuality as it's not a disease and has not been classifed as such by the mental health professionals since the 1970s.
Just as heterosexuality cannot be completely changed to homosexuality, homosexuality cannot be completely changed to heterosexuality.

No, this is an establihed fact that is known all over the world, but for some reason people in the United States keep thinking that there is a way to change people.

Not yet - and I wish that people would stop trying...
This group called exodus ( http://www.exodus.to/ ) is a Christian Organization that is heavily funded by large churches like Coral Ridge Presbyterian to try to convert gays to straight...
Their attempts have been complete failures and they have had to re-elect new people to govern their organization every year because the leaders are always being found in bed with same-sex members...

I'm sorry but this question is dumb.... ofcourse you can't.... in most cases it is simply the way a man or women were born.. maybe in some scientific form in the distant future scientist could control the way humans think/feel with their brains.. but until that happens.. no.

No. If everyone started out being homosexual and change to hetero, there is still that side of them there. Even if it is dormant.

No. The only way it can be changed is if you learn to not act out on it. You will will still have the same urges and feelings....Besides....If everyone were the same, well that would just be boring!
