(Fetish discussion) How come I can never find...
13 years ago
... like, any Forced Hetero?
I see gobs and gobs of supposedly 'straight' characters being wooed over, pressured for or snookered into 'The Dark Side' and trysting with the same sex, or often someone of intersex persuasion- Forced Homo. And I love that! It's very fun, and can make you think of characters differently, as well as serving those of us who like gay/lesbian shenanigans. The femboy seducing the straight-laced guy, the lesbian tempting the good girl with her web of experienced love, the dom fantasies, they're all great, and we've all seen them!
But there's practically zero works I can ever find of that happening in reverse- the meek femboy finding himself hardened by the curvy girl's aggressive advances, the 'never been' lesbian giving her guy friend a go "just to make sure", the love-unlucky hip chick's best gay friends deciding to try and stud it up for her for a night to possibly hilarious effect, the lesbian couple who find themselves in a tight spot and try to 'play it straight' to get out of it, also to possible hilarious effect?
There are a million possibilities! But I never see them. Why is that? I can turn around and trip over, oh I don't know, five "str8-2-gay" high school locker scenes. 'Lezzing out' and 'maybe I'm gay' are so widespread it's become a freakin' trope. Straight guys assert their heterosexuality by making casual jokes about ludicrous, outrageous gay sexual experiments. ...But I would have an easier time unearthing the secrets of the Esoteric Cult of Dagon than I would a single homosexual character getting jiggy with the opposite sex for the kinkiness of it.
Is straight just out of style? Not the new thing, so not worth the time?
... Or is it that we're afraid? I mean, I know we're still fighting for equality and all that, and it wasn't that long ago that being gay was a crime with a capital C. And I know that we still have backward cultures and 'reparative therapy' camps to turn you into some strange biblical breeder. But dammit... that doesn't mean that every conversion or perversion to the straight side is an affront. It's not a statement that one way is right, any more than all those 'going gay' fantasies are narratives suggesting homosexuality is superior; and if they are, they shouldn't be, because that's retarded and counter-intuitive.
We can't be truly equal unless it's all fair game.

-skeptic- oh come on you cannot tell from that. from what it looks like it could have been someone leaving gay prints. there is no evidence in that
and repulsion gel...
and propulsion gel...
and conversion gel...
well com'on, I gotta do something with the seventy million dollars worth of moon rocks that i've got stockpiled up here!
btw, want a companion cube?
I mean my character Jeri could very well be a good candidate, as like me, he may be mostly into males, but if the right girl comes along he just may rip his dress. ;3
I mean, if what they say is true, and everyone's at least a liiittle gay, then it stands to reason that you could apply that in reverse.
And I may have to try this, at least sketch it.
Ah, well. Usually I can inspire some with a good showing. :)
Unless of course I'm completely misreading this comment somehow.
There was a little, SUPERGAY raccoon boy. He eventually gives in to the one hot chick's advances so she'll get it out of her system; he seems to actually be impressed afterwards!
But that comic sounds fantastic.
It doesn't have to be tame, though! Hell. I'm gonna write something and submit it to prove it!
'Cause I am on the warpath
Boom!
does that count? o:
A teensy bit camp, but still a great direction.
Oh, also, not to be a big old asshole, but a lot of gay furs seem to be really sensitive and "ew vagina"-y. So... yeah. That doesn't help, I'm sure.
BUT... that won't stop me. >w>
*turnaround gangster hands*
you know, i WOULD like to see that!
I've had fun with dudes. The whole experimenting young bit, continued to enjoy.
Still liked girls. Had some vagina. AMAZANG.
Great fun and variety in pornography.
And a friend of mine said "why would they do that, no one is that dumb." Thanks. Thanks for making me actually have to use this article.

This is a trend. So either I just don't bring in the boy counts, or it's fairly equal and your exposure changes your numbers.
Maybe it goes deeper than that. Maybe, just maybe, people see a straight person 'going gay' as more taboo than the opposite. More taboo means, ultimately, more secretly exciting to most. Not to say that a sett femboi like, say, Nori, being wooed by someone like, say, Milkette isn't exciting. In fact, I bet it'd be plenty exciting!
I can relate to finding it hard to find what I'm looking for when it comes to fetishes, though. As you know from my dA request years ago I've got a thing for long tongues, but I'm also really picky about my fetish. Girls only (preferably cute or sexy), no forks/stripes/weird colors (ESPECIALLY NOT GREEN), piercings and spots are generally frowned upon but I'll make occasional exceptions. Needless to say, while there's plenty of 'em on Fur Affinity, way too many clash with my personal criteria. ^^;
Anyway, I wish you luck finding more art of gay people being tempted by the straight side. We've all got our own specific fetishes we like. ;)
I like almost freakin' everything. But still, there are some things that need to increase!
A bit of personal disclosure: I am bisexual, but with a strong real-life inclination towards men, such that I have only ever dated men. And, though I was friends with many women, I still don't think I could date one. But, that "bisexual" part came after a lot of personal discovery and thought. So for some of my more formative years I was going though the gay anxiety. Probably because I thought my family was religious when there were merely observant (Went to church at all the required times but feck if we actually knew much beyond the name of the Pope.) As well, you know me. I can turn any character into a lesbian. I made ultra-straight characters like Nala and Zira total lezzies. Granted, stuff happened so that they had children, but still... I even made their offspring lesbians, in defiance of actual movie canon. So, I know all about str8-2-les writing.
There is a LOT going on with sexuality, especially in a place where various combination categories (herm, shemale, cuntboi, just to name the more common) really stretch the limits of conventional Kinsey orientation identification.
First off, speaking just from what I can glean from my own generation of furs, things were very different. Those who felt different, or were different, found an inclusive environment with strong community inclinations and a welcoming atmosphere. With this belonging and the almost novelty of seeing same-sex things regularly, those who were gay felt extremely at ease and could express that clearly. But I think (warning: conjecture, ratiocination sans evidence is weak at best) that as well, some latently bisexual people, allowed to indulge same-sex inclinations, may have thought they were, in fact, "gay all along." So they came out AND went through the "straight to gay" thing. I recall reading a lot of text about that very thing in those days.
You hit on another issue yourself. The somewhat related trope would be "Violence is funny if it's woman on man." In a sexuality aversion of "Slapstick knows no gender", going one way is ok, but the other way is not. But I understand why. In academia there is a lot of fragmented commentary and personal axe-grinding. Feminists read things one way, Marxists another, Queer scholars another, Chicano, African, Native American... The common denominator is the marginalized groups are taking over the discussion, but they have reason for it, and reason to be protective of their narratives. To folks who think in those terms, "gay to straight" rings hollow because it feels like a betrayal. The unique individual subsuming themselves into the great main-cultural mass. It would be like... Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire. He would be seen as a negative, and as far as I know, he is. But I think that explanation is too esoteric to really be a large contributing factor.
That point leads into the more general "fear" explanation. Actually, both combine into that. The esoteric and academic interpretations, especially in the hands of Queen Theory activists, have made the field into one of battle. It's all very "Us vs. Them" (The Scarlet Zeta was not bon out of thin air). The discussion has become what feminism was back when pornography was eye-rape and the penis was bad. That point had its time but is now more likely to be a punchline than an actual consideration. Now, spread that out as the base of the world in which we find ourselves, with straights, bisexuals and homosexuals steeped in that understanding of things. Then you add in the generation of furries who went through their straight to gay thing, knew someone who did or read about it. It seems normal. Natural. Expected. Even... noble, in some strange sense. To invert it is to pervert it. It's not what they have been trained to think, and it's not what they have come to expect. That's a lot of hard-core brain-paining cognitive dissonance. Seeing such a thing might be intellectually uncomfortable.
Well, I've babbled enough. I hope that I've not made too great a tit of myself.
And all of them only push me like a bisexual locomotive toward bucking the norm and making it fun. I guess I don't have that fear, because with the variation of stuff I put up, I've already dealt with the culture-shocked complaining, and batted it away in favor of inclusion for variety's sake. Either way, ain't nothin' gonna scare this 'coon. >=)
Though, reading comments in a link above, I did realize I missed one thing.
Straight to gay is new and somewhat fetishy. It's never been a big thing and has no history to give it color and preconceptions.
Gay to straight has been around a long time. And is has a VERY dark and ugly history. Pray the gay away, if you're lucky. If you're not beheaded you get the electrogenital therapy with acid baths to the face. That may be another aspect of the extreme discomfort and even revulsion. Puttying a candy-coated happy face on gay to straight seems like a trojan horse move to sweep torture and emotional manipulation under the rug. As though someone will say, "See, this story totally shows that maybe those gays like turning stright. Exodus International and Ted Haggard, baby!"
It's a flimsy point on my part, but the logic seems sound.
By the same token, we should never use fetish writing of personal fulfillment for the furthering of a political cause one way or another. That way lies madness!
And I must admit to have done some things like that in personal roleplay. It IS a fetishy bit of fun. But to get it right in roleplay the strokes must be broad. So a friend and I have done a few campy-gay type girly boys studding up straight women and liking it a lot. Nothing like two very creative bisexual roleplayers to create something just odd enough to work out well. And besomeone else's fetish, even without us knowing it ^.^
But, my primary love will always be lesbian romance. Back to writing about pony-bians. (Small lie, right now I'm pandering to the audience that likes Bad Apple.)
This comment is pretty much exactly the one I was thinking about writing after reading the journal. Especially: "In a sexuality aversion of 'Slapstick knows no gender', going one way is ok, but the other way is not." The struggle for acceptance has caused a large divide, with antagonistic actions from heterosexuals leading to equally antagonistic actions from homosexuals.
But the main point is, in the face of negativity, the Gay community has had to adopt a very clear message: "Being Gay is beautiful, and it's okay, and it's something to be PROUD of, not ashamed of!" And it's had to adopt this strongly, since many people were committing suicide after discovering their "deviant" sexuality.
Having a gay character that has straight sex (whether coerced or because they decide to "experiment") is going to feel like a slap to the face to the people who depend on that message for support or comfort. At best, you'l be seen as "yet another bigot who doesn't understand how hard it is to be gay". More likely, you'll be seen as "yet another bigot who is trying to force the majority opinion instead of respecting who we are".
I've jokingly said to people, "You should be proud of your sexuality, even if you're straight!" But like any humor, there's a grain of truth. In media, the "gay pride" angle gets pushed so hard, that it not only overshadows the concept of "equality", but often ends up destroying everything else about the character. "Oh, it's Gay Frank. He's gay. You can tell because he only wears pink shirts and rainbow pants and his catch phrase is 'I KISS BOYS, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?'".
Of course, it's hard for me to feel any love for the LGBT activist organizations. Being transgendered myself, the T in those names tends to stand for "token", or "trivialized". "Good news! Now lesbians, gays, and bisexuals can openly serve in the military!" "What about transsexuals?" "Tra-who? Look, we won, okay? Oh, and be sure to donate, so we can keep performing such wonderful feats of equality!" >.<
Also I need more nipplefucking, I don't see hardly enough of that, either!
He's kind of weird like that, that's probably closer to what your talking about but I do agree that I have not seen such material yet, and it would be a breath of fresh air to see such material exist, especially since, well, its fiction and you can make up all sorts of shit in a hentai story since it usually doesn't apply to reality and such.
Ahhh, awesome.
And.... they are human, so i suppose that doesn't count.
^ Unintentionally Sasquatch sighting sounding lol
Hahaha. I'm getting a mental image of Murdy going on a blind date with a transsexual woman. They both go out, they both have a wonderful time, they both end up going home with each other...and at the same time "I hope you don't mind, but I have a surprise for--wait."
...Not the same, exactly. XD Haha, the only real "forced" situation I could see Murdy getting into with a girl is if she woos him to bed, then breaks out a strap-on and shoves him over the edge. XD
Nothing against gay, I just have no interest in them at all and it's getting tiresome to open the inbox to see piles of gay with the odd golden nugget of something I'm actualy interested in
One of the thoughts I have on it, though, was the idea of creating character strictly for the purpose of assassination. I mean, the less we know about a character, and the less we speculate or shade and the more we assume, what do we have? The most commonplace presumption to make would be a young, straight while male. That is the archetype, the "man", by which all distinction is drawn. So, in order for there to be a gay-to-straight turn, you first have to establish that a character is, infact, gay.
You could just have the impersonal flat out admission. Mid fly-zip, John mutters. "Stop. Lisa, STOP. ... I'm gay." Or you could build up Jane to be a bulldyke through opening actions. Either way, when Sam says to the cheerleader boi "Dude, I'm not gay." it's just to reinforce what is already presumed. It adds to the denial. It's part of the fun, isn't it? But that's not the case in g2s. It isn't the denial. It's the reveal. It is that crucial piece of information that makes the story unique. If we look at a single, still-frame of action, it would be hard to differentiate it from any piece of heteroporn.
There's also the murky waters of bisexuality, as others have touched on above. The idea that it's easier to cross the stream in one direction and stop half-way than the other direction, while completely illogical and almost offensive is still probably what most people would assume, even though you could imagine the straight guy going on to sex up boys and girls from that point on, meanwhile the lesbian would probably still be hardlined into liking girls. (as joke about above)
I'm not saying I don' have a handful of wonderful ideas (even though I more predominately dabble in herms) ... it's just I don't know what the market for these ideas would be...
Obviously this isn't necessarily the case, but to be frank I do expect it to be a fair chunk of the time.
I'd love to see your spin on this sort of thing Nori because I'm sure you'd write it well, so I fully encourage your current drive to do it
I hadn't thought about it until now but you'd probably enjoy this comic. The first strip is rather... bold XD just fyi. But the whole thing is full of all sorts of sexual hi-jinx. I haven't kept up with it lately and plot points have slipped my mind, but there's quite likely some of what you're talking about in there.

victimsvolunteers, you should ask!I remember one pic with the Mousey Love Girls seducing this care-bear-like character (I want to say it was a character of Chris Sawyer, but I could be wrong).
He's resisting, telling them "Um, you two know I'm gay, right?"
One of the MLG responds with "Don't worry, so are we."
(Granted, the MLG going after a guy would mean they're bi, not gay, but it was a 'forced straight' encounter for the bear.)
I suppose part of this is that since society at large sees hetrosexuality as the norm it doesn't have that air of temptation or discovery.
Also there's the annoying thing of "Oh, she hasn't found the right man yet" and such.
I'd be pretty cool with it, considering how much smut there is out there already. Especially if some had endings like "Well, that was great. I've had better with my own gender but still, pretty awesome. Let's go get some ice cream."
This is actually quite common in the anime fan-fic domain (esp. after Ouran Host Club) Though I guess a girl dressed as a guy isn't quite the same as a lez taking a guy out on a date.
The first is that the main turn-on for that whole class of stories is the person being forced to do something taboo. The point of the genre is in forcing someone into doing it with an unacceptable partner.
To use a more extreme example, you see stories about forcing someone to mate with an animal but never one about forcing a hard-core zoophile to do it with a human. The animal is seen as unacceptable even for the zoophile while the human is seen as always being acceptable.
This implies that the 'forced gay' stories are going to fade into the more general MC and NC storylines, with the victims sexual orientation becoming no more of an issue than the fact that his SO happens to be blond.
The second is what you touch on. Forcing someone straight cuts too close to the real world problems of 'therapy' groups that try to pray away the gay and corrective rapes.
I suppose somone will have to fill the void that's the funny thing about this fnadom,if YOU don't see ENOUGH of it,you gotta contribute your own into the mix
I'VE SAID TOO MUCH.
Too wrinkly for me, unfortunately
Perhaps there's something to be said for the subject being harder to draw? I mean, detailing that someone is a homosexual who's suddenly found themselves in a normally het sex situation would seem to require a bit more than a single panel setup. Now I'm sure there are ways around this, but when someone's sitting down to doodle up some porn they may not be ready to focus on panel design and backstory, but instead just wanna get to the umphin'.
An example might be being told not to eat cookies before supper; especially when you're a little kid. If your mom tells you not to eat any sweets right before mealtime and you do it anyway, and get away with it without anyone being the wiser, then you experience that rush of adrenaline and mischievously giggle to yourself, "Oh God, I'm so naughty". Or at least, that was how it was for me. X3
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that for the mainstream, homosexuality is considered "totally hot and dirty" just because it's considered taboo and against the norm. As one Cracked.com article put it, "Do you realize straight dudes have to [boink] their secretaries on their desk while their boss is just outside their door and their wife is on hold just to approach one tenth of that level of hot forbidden lust?"
I think that's also why there are so many fetishes out there too. Just the thought that you're doing something that other people wouldn't like creates a certain feeling of excitement to the act; thereby making it all the more pleasurable. So that's probably why you see more "Forced Homo" material than anything else; the idea of a character being forced to do something against the norm, whether it be through psychological means or actual physical force, makes the act more exciting; and makes that metaphorical "cookie" taste all the sweeter.
I would wager to guess that in a society where sexual identities weren't subject to the wishes of others, you would see a lot more things like forced hetero because hetero would become the wild/dark side for people who have spent their entire lives comfortable with their identity and never thinking it was anything other than the norm for them.

I'm sure you can find them on occasion, the only two I know people have mentioned already.
Though...now you have me wondering..is it forced straight if a herm gets it on with a homesexual person, and forced gay if they domme a straight person? Gray area or am I just that out of it from cleaning? With bleach?
I'd love to see more of that myself. On a side note, it might
be dumped into the femdom catagory.
Check my gallery, I've got a couple, one oral and one with the girl pawcuffs, a girl paw-gagging her, and a male using his paw on her down there. Got any other ideas, send 'em my way and I'll see what I can do for you!
Maybe you just look for straight to gay stuff more than gay to straight... I dunno. *rolls over and goes to sleep*

Think of it this way, you don't "start out" gay unless you live in a VERY open family that lays out all your options at the beginning of your life. (like my dad did with me after my sister turned gay... Bi btw.) You hear of people "coming out of the closet", rarely do you hear people going back. It's not often featured by the media; you never hear about gay actors and actresses trying straight. So teens and other adults literally wouldn't think of it unless they just happen upon the experience themselves.
