The heterosexual questionnaire

The heterosexual questionnaire was created back in 1972 to put heterosexual people in the shoes of a gay person for just a moment. Questions and assumptions made of gays and lesbians that are unfair, are reversed and this time asked to straight people to demonstrate their absurdity.

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and where did you decide you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible this is just a phase and you will out grow it?

4. Is it possible that your sexual orientation has stemmed from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. Do your parents know you are straight? Do your friends know- how did they react?

6. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it just possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality... can’t you just be who you are and keep it quiet?

8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

9. Why do heterosexuals try to recruit others into this lifestyle?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual... Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?

11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to please each other, being so anatomically different?

12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

13. How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?

14. Considering the menace of overpopulation how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

15. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that he or she might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his orher leanings?

16. There seem to very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to.

17. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?

- Martin Rochlin, Ph.D., 1972

About the photo at the top. It's interesting that three lovely people who look like women can carry this off easily, whereas three lovely people who looked like men would possibly have less success, and might even cause some resentment.

And the questionnaire is absolutely exquisitely delicious. And very provocative

Question "Have you considered trying aversion therapy"

Answer. "Yes, Everyday. I live in capitalist society."

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here?

Three ugly geezers might have less success at promoting a positive message, as someone may think, ‘Well no lass would wish to bonk any of these fellas’. Three attractive blokes are more difficult to read negatively. Sex appears to sell stuff, even politics. (I thought the person on the left was male, though who can tell?)

EDIT
Years ago in Private Eye, there was a cartoon of Prince Charles looking at a nude sculpture saying, ‘I say, that chaps got lumps on his chest’.
