I find the percent system used here to be curious. Not bad, or problematic, but genuinely curious. For me, my percents are roughly 50/50 with some fluctuation. I know what that means for me, and I am sure if you asked 50 guys to define it we'd get 50 variations on 3 to 5 basic answers. But no one definition.
When I see someone has listed themselves as 90% Straight and 10% Gay I wonder, what falls within that person's 10%? Looking at pictures of penises, and only looking? Looking and getting aroused? An occasional handjob from a buddy? A wild night in college, wistfully remembered 20 years on but never repeated?
And the 1% Gay people, where's their line in the sand? Playing grab ass with a teammate? A drunken kiss after a night at the bars?
It's all subjective, of course. And I don't begrudge anybody their own personal definitions of gay or straight, or where they see themselves on a hypothetical number line.
But it is interesting. And it has sparked some lively conversations.
