Your notion of a sexual continuum is precise and correct.It's the same thing for liberal/conservative, smart/dumb, etc.
Gotta disagree with the majority here. I think it's borderline gay. Why would you want to be an a room with another guy jacking off?
I've only done this with one other guy. We used to watch porn and pull our dicks out. Couple of times, I'd help him out and he would return the favor. Twice it turned into us giving each other oral. Most erotic thing I've ever done...mind blowing. I've heard about circle jerks, of course, but not sure if this qualifies. Hope it's not too late (40) to experience it for myself!
The straight v gay aspect of mutual/group jerking has always been fascinating to me. Some of the best ones I've had have truly been spontaneous. Several years ago a friend and I reached out to about 3 or 4 other buds for an afternoon session. It lasted about 3 hours and most of the guys came twice. There was beer, bud, porn and a fleshlight we passed around. I love the male bonding aspect of it as well. It's very cool watching another dude work his junk. That's just me.
...So it's perfectly possible to jerk off with your buddy and not have it be all that sexual in nature.

"White is WHITE... any amount, no matter how infinitesimal, of adulterant...and you no longer have WHITE. you may have "off" white, or eggshell, or pearl etc...but it's no longer WHITE. It's a FORM OF WHITE...but not PURE WHITE! Arguing this is just attempting to change definitions to make yourself feel better about the truth."
so someone who says they are 99% straight is not really straight at all? That 1% that snuck in there means they have to identify as non-straight (or I guess as you say "gay")??? What's the point in having percentages at all? According to you it is very rigid... you are either straight (never once had a gay thought, fantasy, dream, it never "moved" when you had a massage from a guy, etc) or you are gay. Sorry, but I disagree.
Can't be mad at you for saying what you said because you may have not read any of my other posts in other threads.
But, for future references...there's a gray area... It's called bi. Bisexual is a REAL term.
Do I need to break down all the intricacies of the word BIsexual? Or do you get where I'm going?
I think the issue here is that when we come to try to define limits on things that are fluid, we run into problems. Here's an analogy. If the window is cracked half in inch, is it an open window or a closed one? One might say that "closed" means "100% closed," and therefore it's an open window, you could make an argument for that. But then one might say, "it's 99% closed"so does calling it "open" make any sense? It depends on how the word is used.
If you were to pluck out the hair of a man one at a time, at some point he would be "balding," but where that point is would be difficult to discern.
I'm just gonna start fucking drawing pictures for you all....cause words don't seem to work.... SO here...
{Hairy}-------->------>-----Balding>------->------>---------{Bald}
Hairy = Lots of hair
Balding = Losing hair over time
Bald = No hair
{Straight}->---->---->----->----->---BI---->------>------->-------{Gay}
There may be a guy in the underlined area ( about 70% straight) Guess what....he's fucking bi.
And the window analogy is just stupid. If a window is CRACKED...it's just that...CRACKED. Not fully open, not fully closed. There's no term (that I know of) for a partially open window. SO someone who calls a "cracked" window open...would be right. Calling a window thats "cracked" closed....would just be flat fucking wrong.
Discerning when guy is balding isn't hard. When the hair starts to fall out...he's balding. Just because he doesn't notice...doesn't mean he's not balding...
And just because he can't come to terms with losing his hair doesn't mean he can just change the meanings of those words to mean whatever the fuck will make him feel better. Bald...is bald...period. Straight is a term men, who only have sexual contact with women, use to identify themselves. Using that term when you DON'T follow that meaning....is flat out bullshit.
Jerk off = Masturbation = the SEXUAL stimulation of one's own genitals, usually to the point of orgasm.
Gay = Homosexual = romantic attraction, SEXUAL attraction, or SEXUAL BEHAVIOR between members of the same sex or gender.
ummm, on your little illustration of the sexuality spectrum, you are wrong... the highlighted portion is somewhere between straight and BI...i.e. neither straight nor bisexual. Sexuality is a non-tangible thing that has absolutes, but not everyone can be classified as one of these absolutes (Straight, BI, Gay). Everyone is different and enjoys different things. What they choose to define themselves (if they even choose to do so) is their business, not mine, not yours, not anyone elses'. If some people are happy with labels then let them adhere to those labels. Get over it NC_BBC. I tried to tell you that you wouldn't win this argument...but instead of letting it go an accepting that not everyone shares the same views as you (and I'm not saying anyone is right, including you and I), you just keep this argument going. Move on man...
