My dick protesteth...most of them are still whale-like.

Reparative therapy (also called conversion therapy and reorientation therapy) refers to methods aimed at changing gay, lesbian, and bisexual people's sexual orientations to heterosexual, or at eliminating or diminishing homosexual desires and behaviors. Many techniques have been tried, including behavior modification, aversion therapy, psychoanalysis, prayer, and religious counseling.[1] Reparative therapy is closely associated with the "ex-gay" movement, which is more explicitly religious.[2] Ex-gay groups tend to focus primarily on adopting an "ex-gay identity" and avoiding same-sex sexual activity, and secondarily (or sometimes not at all) on changing the underlying orientation.[3]


New Age therapies are also employed by reparative therapists, including EMDR, buddha therapy, and chiropractic adjustments.[41] Some have tried "beauty therapy," during which butch lesbians are given "a beautiful and professionally coiffured hairstyle, taught to use cosmetics, and taught to wear the most elegant feminine styles to bring out the charm and beauty in their bodies."
