I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?
Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.
Being bi only doubles your likes, your odds stay roughly the same
It's interesting that you even felt the need to try it though. I know I'm not attracted to men, I can just tell. I feel no need to test it.
But I am a lady, and women are beautiful, and we are more physically affectionate with each other. I think at least a large minority try? It wasn't traumatic, just felt nothing like sex. Performance only, no excitement, no nothing. Though I guess it might be like that with a guy I wasn't into, as well.
