mh, I'm a bit clueless here

"try losing this chromosome" reminds me of men having XY and women XX. Maybe he's in love with a man for the first time and doesn't really want to realize it and wishes that his guy could lose the Y chromosome and be a woman.

"such imagination always helps the feeling slide" could mean that it's easier for him to love his guy when he imagines he's a woman... :-/ sick interpretation

anyway.... did anyone realize that the part "such imagination always helps the feeling slide" is almost exactly like in "Without you I'm nothing"??? --> "such imagination seems to help the feeling slide"???
