This post is for the straight MacNN nerds (yes, there are some straight people here I think). How much would it take for you to have a homosexual relationship with someone?

How high are your standards?

Man, you must be feeling pretty needy right now. You are finding there are not enough gay people in the world, and you are entertaining the idea of convincing people they must go gay.

hmm... hows about this--to make gay marriage completely illegal everywhere, plus 5 million dollars, and a full ride scholarship to any college I want whatsoever. EDIT: And--all my food and gas paid for during my time at that college.

That, for ONE week of a homo relationship... which cannot include any actions I would not rush in a relationship with a girl.


WOW. Totally deserve to get flamed for posting this, don't I?

which is basically saying you'd give the "full ride" for a full ride? because it would seem your daddy wouldn't be interested in any actions you wouldn't rush in a relationship with a girl... ;-)

I'd do it for a $100.















Give or take a few million $$$.
But I wouldn't swallow, that's just gross!

I'd go gay for 500 milliseconds if every commie/hippie/leftist on the planet committed suicide AND personal exemption from speed limits and income tax AND 5 billion dollars in the Swiss and Panamanian accounts of my choice AND my own weight in gold delivered to me door AND "00" licence to kill AND Ana Beatriz Barros' telephone number AND a pack of Tesco cream cakes.

And if you wouldn't do it under any circumstances, unless you realized that you were actually in love with the other gay guy? Because that's how I fly. I'll be gay only if I'm gay. Money will never be important enough to govern my life. It just makes it more fun.

I dont totally understand what you mean.. But what I was trying to clarify is that the OP just said "relationship." So this could mean anything. I wanted to specify both the duration and the limit on what would go on in that duration.

I dont know about you guys, but chances are in one week of a relationship with a girl I would not do much more than dinner, movies, etc. So basically one week, nothing exciting. Although on second thought, 500 milliseconds (as someone said) would probably more of a balanced trade-off.

But more important than the money or anything is the first thing I mentioned, which I'm surprised nobody has gotten pissed about...

And I think I'll change the 5 mil to 10 mil. yeah...

Either way Prince was a right sexy bastard.

I'd gay whore myself for a cool $250,000. Hell, I'd do it for 2 weeks.

That should just about cover med school, and pay for a nice car so I can drive around picking up chicks and otherwise trying to live off my stint as a queer for the rest of my life.

I wonder what that says about a pretty conservative guy like me?

Plus if you go gay you won't be able to finish med school and you will end up as a male nurse.

Back on topic, I would do Gay if and only if I were to be in love with the guy.

So far so good.

To all those people who say "I would only be gay with a man that I was in love with"; you are all bisexual and I specifically said that this thread was for straight ppl.

I don't appreciate that comment at all. I'm happily straight and a male nurse.

I am far from bisexual, unless you mean I'd enjoy sex with 2 women. 'tis the only meaning it has for me.

Why isn't one of the options size?

Why be gay if the other guy has a tiny weener? Call me a size queen but little guys just don't make the grade.

Oh yeah. A couple of extra inches on the "friend" would be enough to persuade most straight guys to go gay.

Nah, I would be repulsed the whole time, but that much money for 2 weeks in hetero hell? I dunno, I could live with that... Assuming he wasn't trying to leave me with an STD collection starter kit or anything.

If a straight guy were giving any thought at all to having gay sex, a giant **** would put an end to those thoughts.

Ahh... its sad but so darn true. I used that joke with one of my female friends once and she got on my case for being inappropriate. She literally did say "Treat me like one of the guys, and stop this stuff." I told her "I am treating you like one of the guys, which is why I told you the joke." She cooled off after that.
