Oxytocin, "the cuddle hormone". You could try just ecstacy alone, it increases oxytocin.
Faster acting than nardil too.

Yeah, the only illegal drug I have tried was 2 (deep) puffs of marajuanna.
I have mixed feelings about it. There were good aspects to it and bad.

I just wanted to add that I hope you didn't feel put down at all by my post to Linkadge. I could tell that you were trying to be supportive and helpful to him rather than judgemental. I just didn't agree with you because I've seen too many friends try to push themselves in the hetero direction and I've never seen it work. It only caused them unnecessary suffering.Kara

No problem. I also partially share your point of view. I just don't understand the dynamic of this disorder.Have a good day!

Yes, we really do see this differently because I see it as an alternative rather than a disorder (just like some people have white skin and some people have black skin). But we can agree to disagree.> Have a good day!
You too!

Yes, of course we can. Anyway, i was just trying to bring help to some babblers. No more no less. One day they will discover the genetic flaw which leads to this behavior. And i hope the same thing for the mental illness.Bye.

Why do you call it a flaw? Some like thin women, some like them fat, and some like tall or short. I just see this as a preference. Fondly, Phillipa

what I meant by 'flaw' and what Maximus meant are two different things.
I don't think sexual preference is a flaw.

Not just meeting Babblers, for some reason half way up I thought about oxycodone instead of oxycontin for such an occasion, just the normal chatter.

"One day they will discover the genetic flaw which leads to this behavior"
That is kind of a totalitarian way of putting it.
Homosexuality is not considered a mental illness. I think that since, many people in this position aren't suffering or hurting anybody, it will never be a focus of medical science. I know it discusts you but....
Just like we aren't really working to find a cure for left handedness, although at one point in time, people thought we should be.If a pill was to take it away over night, I would't recognize myself.

I'm sure a lot of "stright" people would feel offended if I told them their attraction was "flawed".
