And the thing is, most gay men didn't make themself that way they were born that way, and the "Gay" induced from Hypnosis isn't really like what gay men experience.
Hypnosis can change your subconscious, but what gender your attracted to is in your genes and physical brain, not your thoughts.
When somebody is "turned gay" from hypnosis the hypnotist didn't change their brain they created negative associations with woman and sexual associations with men, a trigger in their mind just like "Generic go to trance now" triggers, "When you see cock you get an erection and want to suck it" is no different then "When you here <Trigger> you will freeze".
And if it's different for somebody then usually it's because they already were gay or at least Bisexual and didn't accept it until then, after all, most of the stories start with "I had homoerotic thoughts and tendency's before so I thought I'd try out this file and see what happens"[/quote:51/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i269c5]
Based on my experience with CFG, I'd have to say that that isn't true. I knew perfectly well what my sexuality was, and I wasn't attracted to men, I was grossed out by the idea of the thought of sex with them. A stereotypical heterosexual response -- anxiety and distaste from repression of homosexual impulses (reaction formation).
Of course, I can't say that I didn't have some kind of genetic predisposition, or that I wasn't a bit offbeat sexually, e.g., I was always turned on sexually by the idea of becoming a woman (though not gender dysphoric). Short of a controlled study, I don't know that it's possible to say that any straight guy would turn gay if he were reasonably hypnotizable and willingly listened to CFG. But the notion that I was some kind of closet bi or gay guy just isn't true, if I had been I would have known it.
The scientific evidence I've seen says that there is a genetic component to homosexuality, but that there are environmental factors as well. For example, if one identical twin is gay, there's a 5/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i% chance that the other will be gay. It would be 1/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i/\[url=(https?:\/\/[^\s\[]+):$uid\](.*?)\[\/url:$uid\]/i% if sexual orientation were determined solely by genetics. However, the fact that a fraternal twin has only a 33% chance of being gay if the other twin is says that it isn't entirely environment or upbringing, that there clearly is a genetic component.
Perhaps some people are born that way and some people become that way. Or perhaps some people are for genetic or prenatal reasons, more amenable to becoming gay. I do know though, having experienced it myself, that orientation and other aspects of sexuality can be altered by the subsconscious, and so are probably to some extent determined by early experience in at least some people.
I do agree with you about the difference between altering the subconscious through hypnosis and trying to change impulses with the conscious mind, though. OTOH, a suggestion of this sort is going to be fairly superficial. I can't order myself to be attracted to women now any more than I could order myself to be attracted to men before I listened to the file, but a few months of hypnosis isn't the same as a lifetime of conditioning, and it seems to me entirely plausible that the suggestion could wear off if not reinforced, or be peeled away by straight sexual experiences. I've had that experience with many hypnofiles, though I've never listened to one for three months straight as I did with CFG. They seem to become latent after a while, still there but repressed unless something resurrects them.
Also, I know from my own experience and from what some others have said that listening to CFS can cause an emotional meltdown if you've listened to CFG too long, but that may not be true if you're just talking about suppressing some impulses and trying to resurrect the others. At least, nothing bad has happened to me from looking at straight porn, I just lose my interest and get frustrated, maybe have some bad dreams . . .
I've had the first indication that CFG may be wearing off in my case, yesterday I was really into a straight fantasy and it eventually went away but I got pretty close to orgasm. And I've noticed that some of the offbeat things that used to turn me on seem to be coming back . . .
