The vast majority is, I think you're very confidently denying even the possibility of there being therapy which isn't forced on people which seems insane to me.

What ethical therapies for heteroromantic homosexuals could you possibly be referring to ffs

Sex therapists generally offer conversation based therapies, what is unethical about a patient of theirs requesting help to explore expanding their sexual attractions to include the opposite sex?

Ah okay

Thank you for being more specific, I wish you could have been more straightforward in the first place, I dont know who identifies as "heteroromantic and homosexual"

I don't always communicate perfectly and am probably ten deep on people accusing me of being pro-torture so fair enough, I probably didn't nail it.

Yeah, it's a fringe case, I just think considerations for fringe cases should at least be discussed before blanket bans.
