What if a pill could change your sexual orientation? That one would cause quite the chaos.
- onion2k 6y agoThat one would cause quite the chaos. It would just make you attracted to a different group of people. That wouldn't be chaotic at all.
- username90 6y agoMen stopping pursuing women because it is so much easier to get a man in bed would be a problem. So much of todays social web is built on men spending a lot of time and resources on women, what happens when that stops?
- onion2k 6y agoSo much of todays social web is built on men spending a lot of time and resources on women, what happens when that stops? Quite simply, change happens. This is not a bad thing. Change happens all the time. You can't be scared of it, or try to stop it, because it is inevitable. You can only embrace it. But also, somewhat more rationally, taking a pill is a choice. Not everyone would take it, and certainly not enough people to significantly impact society in any way.
- altacc 6y agoThis seems a simple and exaggerated view of social activity drivers, but I think the answer to the question of what would happen if men stopped constantly hitting on women, would be that women would get some peace & quiet for a change and be able to enjoy their time in public without the constant fear of harassment. So definitely a positive change.

More people wind up with lovers that are their friends and/or equals instead of an object to be doted on. But in all reality, people aren't going to simply stop pursuing people and you assume that a pill is going to reverse attraction instead of enhancing it. Bi- and pan-sexual are actual things. I know this from personal experience, and I didn't need a pill to figure this out. By your logic, though, I guess I'd be attracted to... no one?

- mpreda 6y agoJust take two.
- notRobot 6y agoThere are more than two sexual orientations, so I doubt that'd work ;)
