>Interesting. Did you know back inthe daythey used to give homosexuals Nardil to attempt to reverse any homoerotic thoughts/behaviors. I am gay (orientation not preference) and was on Nardil. It TOTALLY wiped out my sex drive/desire, etc. I didn't look at any guy - BUT - I never grew sexually fond of females.
Very interesting you have this effect!
