Women who consider themselves 100% straight: Would you rather have sex with a very physically unattractive man or a very physically attractive woman?

…personality aside (say, they are both equally nice and respectful people). Just interested to hear people’s responses after a colleague asked me this earlier. Her theory is I can’t be 100% straight cos I picked the woman. I think it’s bollocks. I’d enjoy neither but the man would gross me out way more

Neither.

I definitely don’t think all women are a bit bi as one poster suggested. This post was more to prove to my colleague that just cos I chose the woman that doesn’t mean I’m “a bit bi”, it’s her that seems to think all women are. I actually thought more women would choose the woman in that situation. Not that you’d enjoy either, just that in some weird parallel universe where it’s (as someone put it) some kind of forced cult situation, the experience with the woman would be less threatening and there’d be less of a power imbalance

The follow-up question was if you went to prison for the rest of your life would you get yourself a girlfriend? (This colleague is always asking ridiculous but often very entertaining “would you rather” questions - gets us through the day lol)
I’d probably aim to get the biggest, toughest woman in there to be my girlfriend so I’d have protection

Omg no, absolutely not 🤮
I'd just be lonely haha

GiantFloatyFlingo · 14/05/2026 19:32

Woman.

I am happily married to a man.. but I find most men repulsive and if my marriage ended tonight, I’d likely abstain from any sex than go near a man again. They turn me. Farting, hairy bums and just eww. Husband is well trained but living with a man just ruined any notions I’ve ever had.

TheLilacLeader · 14/05/2026 19:42

I think it's a really good question! I am a male, currently seeing a female who I would so dearly love to take to bed. However, she has a girlfriend and chooses just to see me just socially and dog walks etc.(despite past marriage and kids). We could talk for hours and I love our conversations and meetings. But I feel her wishes should be respected, but it's so frustrating from my side but just can't let her go!

Jackson Lamb or Jennifer Lopez?

Lamb. Every time!

Jackson Lamb is a massive crush of mine.

I read a study that 70% women are bi....or at least more sexually fluid and more open to the possibility than men. Not sure how accurate that is.

I have sexual fantasies involving both sexes but have never actually been sexually attracted to a woman in real life or felt I could fall in love with a woman.....I've only ever had crushes on men and fallen in love with men. Am I bi?? Or what? Am I the only woman who has felt this way?? I can't work myself out but would say I'm very happily married (to a man) and have no desire to swap him for anyone else.
I do wonder if it's because my first sexual experience/SA(?) was with a girl (I was touched up by a 12 yr old girl when I was around age 8) and it felt nice....so maybe that's where it stems from??? I carried so much shame around with me for that as I was a child growing up in the homophobic 80s but finally had therapy around age 30 due to a breakdown from the shame.

Anyways, does anyone else have this paradox? Fantasy but not in real life feeling??

Neither thanks.

Neither at all

Dontlletmedownbruce · 14/05/2026 21:01

I'm not sure if this makes sense. If someone is 100% straight then it has to be the opposite sex surely. If the answer is the same sex then it would appear they are not 100% , maybe 80 or 90. If you are truly straight the idea of same sex intimacy is going to feel very wrong and almost unconscionable.

TroysMammy · 14/05/2026 21:02

Neither, I'd rather indulge in some diy.

UnaOfStormhold · 14/05/2026 21:05

Given it would presumably be a one off the woman would definitely be the safer choice, far less likely to turn violent/abusive/stalkerish.

Christ, that's an unpleasant scenario you've imagined up there.

ShineBlueSky · 14/05/2026 21:18

This is along the lines of, would you rather slide down a razor banister or be hit by a slow moving train?

Or the kind of thing my son was always asking when he was little: ‘Would you rather drown in lava or drink a cup of lava? Would you rather be eaten by a lion or a shark?’

Bowies · 14/05/2026 22:13

The man, as long as I was attracted to him despite his physical unattractiveness, not the woman as not attracted to women no matter how attractive.

Ha ha, brilliant, hope you remind him of these things!

Upsidedownagain · 14/05/2026 22:28

Hard to choose. I could never ever be in a relationship with a woman but I do have fantasies about a woman doing things to me, but not vice versa (never for real though). And I'd much prefer her to be 'butch' rather than ultra feminine. So maybe I'm a bit bi - that doesn't bother me.

PetuniaT · 14/05/2026 22:29

What a dumb effing question. You're weird!

Woman defo , then I find women attractive 🤷🏻‍♀️.
Never been with one but curious at the same time .
Would like the experience I think definitely ☺️

WiseTealRaven · 15/05/2026 10:29

What a really moronic question. I'd rather it be neither thanks. Being of free will and all that!

I think this is a troll. Got a nasty feeling we might start to get loads of questions all with the same underlying point - trying to get to see women who say they are lesbians whilst at the same time being straight. If I'm right the OP has serious issues about women's sexualities
.

Blades2 · 15/05/2026 12:38

Neither? I’m not attracted to women, and if the fella was not attractive to me, why would I consider it?
Are you a bit confused about your sexuality?

Tambora · 15/05/2026 12:46

But if you are a straight woman, in your eyes there's no such thing as a 'very physically attractive woman' is there? If you are straight yourself, you won't be physically attracted to them.

Some men's thought processes are downright stupid.

I’d probably choose man as tbh most blokes are pretty quick/ easily pleased . I feel like women would require a bit more work and I’m too lazy to put the effort in.

absolutely this one 🤣
