I have already had sex with a shemale, because I was curious - I consider myself bi-curious. "She" was completely feminine, the only thing not female about her was her cock. I have never been with a "guy" and previously only slept with girls. The experience has not converted me to homosexuality, I feel exactly the same as I did before - it was an experiment that I enjoyed but seeing as it was 5 years ago not one I was obviously in a hurry to repeat.
A few myths perhaps need exploding, first of all, to call a shemale a man is not strictly true. They are obviously a hybrid of man and woman, and I think hormones have a lot to do with this. You see humans born with 2 faces, 6 legs, a nipple on their chest, so I don't think it's really so shocking that a woman should be born with a cock. With many shemales they feel 100% women from birth, and to them their cock is a disfiguration - some may opt to have it got rid of, for others it's a pretty traumatic operation so they keep it. Some accept who and what they are and don't feel the need to do anything. I don't think people should be so judgmental about what shemales are or are not, humans are an incredibly complex mass of chemicals, and such anomalies are a pretty normal part of nature.
I see now that taking the piss out of homosexuals is considered morally wrong, which of course it is, the next target in the media appears to be shemales. I think this is wrong and such rejection is probably what keeps them in prostitution, porn and leading miserable, confused and unhappy lives. It's about time they were respected just like anyone else and not just seen as a figure of fun or ammunition for a cheap joke.
As for whether you have a sex with a shemale it means you are gay or bi etc., first of all, who cares?? It's like 2008 now, and is frankly quite pathetic that people have such prejudices. Besides, I think sexuality is more emotionally defined than physically, personally I could have sex with a shemale, but that's just sex. Would I want to wake up with a man in my bed everyday, go out with them, tell them my innermost fears and desires, cuddle up to them at night - no, my emotional attachment appears to be much stronger towards women, and I believe that is fixed, and that is what defines my sexuality.
Will I ever have sex with a shemale again? Who knows. It would be so silly to give a conclusive answer to that. The minute you close your mind to anything you have stopped living.
Still, I am refreshed by the honesty of this poll, with either 50% either admitting they would have sex with a shemale under certain circumstances. You can probably add another 25% to that, as those who protest the loudest are more likely than anyone to do it given the right circumstances. They only protest to cover up their desires, if you are comfortable with your sexuality there's never any reason to protest or be against any other form of sexual behaviour.
