I definitely do not believe I'm gay - I am gay to the core.

Like Dave...you said you were bi-curious. So what happened to your feelings for women? Did it vanish in time or suddenly very quickly? And how to feel towards women now? Don't just notice them anymore or do you still at some level get happy when you see a pretty girl? How do you look now towards the girls you liked or loved before? How do you look back at these relationships? Was it real or was it you figuring out who you are? Doesn't or didn't it feel like a lost when you didn't like girls anymore or didn't get turned on anymore..

When that happened - things changed gear and it was my boyfriend (at the time) introduced me to the gay lifestyle - that lifestyle change (along with the file) made me the gay man that I am today, and I'm really proud of who I am.
I don't really know when my heterosexual thoughts faded away, I would say maybe it was a slow process over 2-3 years, but I didn't realise it was happening, I didn't "think" about it because I was totally consumed with all the new things in my life - I should say that I love women, I adore them, idolise them - I see attractive women all the time and think "she's gorgeous" - I have lots of female friends, and have close relationships with them - I can (and have) kissed women (they love it) - and it feels great, but it's not sexual - women are a huge part of my life, they are friendships, and given me counsel - but arousal is just not there.
Identifying as gay is so much more than just these sexual aspects

Am I still attracted to them or is it more admiration? And what defines the both? It's so confusing. To me the part of attraction turning into admiration to women is happening, but it doesn't work as a scale to me. It's not like I'm more attracted to men nowadays.

This feels true for me too, in large part. It's confusing to know what to do with it. I assume we are all here interested in this file because we *want* to be less confused and attracted to more men with more certainty. And I assume that for others it is the same way that it is for me, which is that homosexual fantasies are so intensely satisfying, that it feels like I'd be happier if my attractions in the world lined up better with my internal life. Sounds like Dave has found his way to that place.

I listened to this file for a few months about 10 years ago. and for a little while it made me very curious, it felt like my personality was changing, my eyes were opening, I was becoming much more outgoing, I chatted to women more, I even started reading womens magazines(!).
My tastes in porn somewhat changed too.. I always loved big breasts and cleavage, I started noticing how pretty women were and how they did their makeup and stuff.
After a while, all this faded away.. I had a girlfriend for a number of years, that fizzled out because apart from her boobs, I wasn't so interested in her vagina(!).
The thing is.. I now regard myself as straight again, I an look at curvy women and breasts and think they are sexy.... but just sometimes I get a craving for men, and I will binge on gay porn.. but this is always followed by a feeling of guilt and a purge, and women again.
It seems like I've been affected by this file on a basic level.. the thing is, I get the urges to listen again and feel myself gradually transform.

Some interesting thoughts here. In your case, after listening frequently for a time, do you have an opinion about why you didn't fully change your orientation? The fact you listened frequently 10 years ago would seem to imply that you wanted it to work?

I don't think I can remember why I listened to it so frequently. I guess part of me though that it couldn't possibly work despite what people here reported. Part of me was excited by gradually realising that something I love so much (big breasts) didn't turn me on anymore.. argh, perhaps the transformation is exciting itself!?!
Part of me wants to try it again, but I'd want to try to supplement it with something else, some kind of lifestyle change I guess?
My own interest in these files has always been about trying to make my "real life" attactions more aligned with my intensely homosexual desires in fantasy, porn, etc. (But--I apologize--I think I'm just repeating what I've already said here.)
