Last year someone posted a semi-serious article entitled something to the effect of: 25 Questions to Ask your Straight Friends. It was a series of questions, the likes of which are usually posed to gays, re-worded so they applied to straights. If you still have this around please mail it to me. Thank you, Bruce Jones bjones@sdcsvax.ARPA

With thanks to Henry Mensch <qqe%purccvm.BITNET@WISCVM.ARPA> Subject: 25 questions to ask your straight friends is enclosed... To: <bjones@sdcsvax.ARPA> 25 questions to ask your heterosexual friends, from Martin Rochin, Ph.D. 1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality? 2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual? 3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of? 4. Is it possible your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex? 5. Isn't it possible that all you need is a good gay lover? 6. Heterosexuals have histories of failures in gay relationships. Do you think you may have turned to heterosexuality in fear of rejection? 7. If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer that? 8. If your heterosexuality is normal, why are a disproportionate number of mental patients heterosexual? 9. With whom have you discussed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react? 10. Your heterosexuality doesn't offend me as long as you don't try to force it on me. Why do you people feel compelled to seduce others into your sexual orientation? 11. If you choose to nurture children, would you want them to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face? 12. The great majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you really consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers? 13. 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? 14. 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? 15. Heterosexuals are noted for assigning themselves and each other to narrowly restricted stereotyped sex roles. Why do you cling to such unhealthy role-playing? 16. How can you enjoy a fully satisfying sexual experience or deep emotional rapport with a person of the opposite sex, when the obvious physical, biological, and temperamental defferences between you are so vast? How can a man understand what pleases a woman sexually, or vise-versa? 17. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex? 18. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiralling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals? 19. How could the human race survive if everyone were a heterosexual like you, considering the menace of overpopulation? 20. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed with which you might be able to change if you really want to. Have you ever tried aversion therapy? 21. A disproportionate number of criminals, welfare reccipients, and other irresponsible or anti-social types are heterosexual. Why would anyone want to hire a heterosexual for a responsible position? 22. Do heterosexuals hate and/or distrust others of their own sex? Is that what makes them heterosexual? 23. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous? 24. Why do you make a point of attributing heterosexuality to famous people? Is it to justify your own heterosexuality? 25. Could you really trust a heterosexual therapist/counselor to be objective and unbiased? Don't you fear that he/she might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his/her own leanings? /\ /\ / \/^\ /\ /\/\/\ /^\ /\ /^/\^\ /\ \/ \/\ / \/ \/\/ \/\ / ^ \/ \^^^\ \/\ /^\ / QQE@PURCCVM.BITNET /\ \ Henry Mensch \/ \ \ / \ / \ \ Purdue University \ \ \/ \/ \ \
