I supplemented Androsterone after reading possible connections in manipulating sexuality here. I loved it! It did actually make me feel like a different person in a good way.. consistently strong and confident. Like I had the control of life rather than it controlling me. I did not notice any change in my homosexuality.
I've read other anecdotes here about people's diet changing their sexuality, both the orientation and/or the libido level. Lots of reference to digestive health. Got me to thinking.
When I was very young I had a fear of pooping...like it was shameful. But it was also pleasurable to hold it in. I got in trouble for it.
I first felt gay feelings at age ten and was gender non-conforming growing up, but not overtly. At age 13 I noticed there was something off about my breasts (I'm male)...puffy, a lump of some kind. My whole life I never felt like my chest was very manly, but I never really saw it as mild gynecomastia.
I was not a healthy youth really...ate lots of junk food and always kind of stayed in the slightly overweight category till college.
When I went low carb seven years ago, I lost all my puffiness, lost lots of weight, skin was great, but I didn't feel more masculine really. I still had a sex drive during this time in beginning but I know I lost my libido dramatically. The gay part of me was always a massive struggle in my life, so when the libido went it kind of felt like a blessing. I came from an environment where I tried repressing it.
Up until this point I never felt Heterosexual in my life. Physically and romantically attracted to men.
After two years of low carb, my health was gone and my hair was disappearing...and in perfect time I discovered Danny Roddy. Admittedly, I thought he was super hot and this probably was the main reason I started reading. Suddenly I understood why I had developed intense ice cream cravings.
I felt amazing the first two months doing a "Ray peat diet" and even found my sex drive returning. But then I was starting to develop marked gynecomastia and weird moodiness.
Over four years I came our of the diet dogma world and my body started normalizing. My gynecomastia went away and I found I could eat bread again with no apparent issues. Giving up milk seemed to really help me. I feel it was my biggest Peat mistake.
Over time I have not noticed my diet changing orientation, even while getting healthier. I do notice times where I am hypersexual and I don't know why this is, but I associate it with feeling better. Maybe I'm wrong. Sometimes I won't feel the need for a romantic companion and sometimes I will. But it's always men. Taurine works wonders for me. So does a healthy environment. I quit a job once and all my health problems went away.
This post is intentionally scattered. As an old member Kasra used to say, "become the cell" and I'm feeling rather scattered right now. Sometimes human touch or kind words can erase all my woes. My sexuality can be hyper focused on finding a companion and other times not. Sometimes it's about sex only, sometimes sex has nothing to do with it. Sometimes this is environment. Sometimes it may be diet. But it's always men.
Aren't Heterosexuals that way? For someone with limited social interaction, and a small town of 250 do I really have the opportunity to fall in love with men? Sometimes I wonder about those anecdotes of fecal transplants making obese people thin again. Or the study about the mice attracted to the cats and microorganisms. Sometimes I wonder if there were a fecal transplant for Heterosexuality. In my mind, I'd totally believe manipulating biology could manipulate my sexuality, because I feel like my cells are gay and it has just taken me a long time to accept them.
