Article Synopsis
- The study investigates voluntary sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) among 72 men, analyzing whether reported changes reflect a decrease in homosexual orientation or an increase in heterosexual orientation, as well as behavioral shifts.
- Findings show that participants, who were largely religious, mostly experienced a reduction in homosexual attraction, with one-third reporting a significant shift towards heterosexual attraction on the Kinsey scale.
- The data indicates stronger behavioral changes away from homosexual activities rather than an increase in heterosexual behaviors, suggesting SOCE may reinforce religious norms against homosexual behavior without significantly altering underlying attractions.

Every single human being who has ever been conceived has come into existence precisely because God wants him or her to exist. The present article offers psychological and spiritual considerations to assist people who, in a variety of settings, are evaluating medical-assisted technologies that require the removal of gametes from the body, especially those procedures that involve the buying and selling of gametes. Gamete "donation" is a misnomer when the transactions involve cash payment.

Background: Do sexual minority persons who have undergone unsuccessful sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) suffer subsequent psychological or social harm from the attempt? Previous studies have conflated present and past, even pre-SOCE, harm in addressing this question. This study attempts, for the first time, to isolate and examine the question of current psychosocial harm for former SOCE participants among sexual minorities in representative population data.
Method: Using nationally representative data ( = 1,518) across three cohorts of sexual minorities (centered in 1969, 1987, and 2003) in the United States (U.

Voluntary therapeutic interventions to reduce unwanted same-sex sexuality are collectively known as sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE). Currently almost all evidence addressing the contested question whether SOCE is effective or safe consists of anecdotes or very small sample qualitative studies of persons who currently identify as sexual minority and thus by definition failed to change. We conducted this study to examine the efficacy and risk outcomes for a group of SOCE participants unbiased by current sexual orientation.
