I will have to account for all sexual identities or remove the need. If I remove the need, it will fundamentally alter the structure of the core, since gender relations is a major theme in the script. Relating to women, not just in terms of sex or romance, but in terms of masculine versus feminine. It seems that if I remove that, it will weaken the program's core. So to account for that I would have to create something that is specifically for bisexuals. The question is, would the amount of time it takes me to do that produce sufficient returns to be worth the time?
I don't understand why someone's orientation would be affected by a label or the programming itself. Are you saying a gay person could potentially be turned straight by the program? If so, I see the issue, but if not, then what's the harm?
A sub cannot change your orientation, can it? The way I see it: I'm a male (fact) I'm pansexual (ego-driven-label fueled by biological orientation). The label "heterosexual male" makes me think "oh, this isn't for me", whereas a line of script that WAS open would be "a male" and then I'd act on it or not depending on predisposition such as orientation.
That's just how I see it, would love to learn more if this is not the case. BECAUSE if a sub CAN alter your orientation, then I might as well keep using AM 6 and SM 3 because 99.9% of my sexual interest is tied up in women anyways.
It's a very deep and CORE topic to think about for sure.
I am not saying that using it will alter your sexual orientation. On the contrary, it is designed the way it is specifically so that it will not push heterosexual drives or desires into the minds of gay people. That's the point: respecting the orientation of the listener, and turning the program off if it's not suitable for them.
