10% Gay

[Hockeytiger]

This was a very difficult decision, that honestly shouldn't be that difficult. I have varried my percentages from 70% straight to 90%.

I experimented with one guy years ago, and enjoyed it. A hot guy will get a rise out of me. So I do self-identify as being bi. However, about 75% of my sexual thoughts are about women. However, don't get the impression that I find heterosexual contact more pleasurable than homosexual. I just tend to be more drawn towards heterosexul contact.

I am married (and yes she knows all about it). Putting it at 90% has also helped to discourage hook up requests from guys, which I'm not all that comfortable with since I'm in a commited relationship and thus that's not what I'm seeking here.

Woah!!!!! Maybe I have read this wrong but there is a whiff of Anita Bryant here!??!?! Think you might need to seriously talk a bit more to gay, lesbian and transgender people before making statements like the you have above!!! You come across as slightly naive (and I am being generous) in views of homosexual men and women.

As for the 'gay man being applauded' I don't think you'll find that of the STILL hundreds of men and women that are the victims of homophobic hate crime daily, that they feel that their views are being applauded!!

But perhaps I misread your posting, which I feel I had to have, more so wish that I have, this the obvious downfall of printed expressed views!?!

And in answer to the original thread...I am 99% gay and 1% straight because I don't consider myself a complete 'poof'!! (Take that with a huge hint of irony)

If you mean to call me naive because I do not agree with the majority of the scientific community, and because I do not trust the majority of people, then yes, I am naive. I do in fact have several gay friends, but that has only strengthened the opinion I have now, watching them come out, and before that watching them struggle to be accepted by the crowds as straight.
The gay community is too caught up in its pride marches and other reaches for acceptance to take note that they are not the only ones who get thrown down in the gutter. Popular society attacks straight men for the views far more than it attacks gay men for their life style. It is as if saying we are not allowed to think you have chosen poorly. I have never slammed any gay mans finger in the door because his views and opinions are different from mine, but I am condemned to hell by many gays the moment I express my opinions. If you don't see that, then you are too blinded by your rainbow to see the suffering of all people around you. Those who are not seen as suffering, are alwasy suffering the most. Take the black/white conflict for example. Such a large percent of the black community hates white people just for being white, because of what they have done to them. The percentage of white's who hate blacks is far lower. Religiously oppressed muslums make it in the news, religiously oppressed Christians are seen as the agntagonists and no one cares, because they are all haters anyway. Stereotypes have set the worlds views in motion. Hate exists on every corner. Black hate of whites begets white hate of blacks, as white hate of blacks started the cycle to beginn with. If anyone can sit here and talk about gay oppresion and think straight people are not suffering, then they are a fool. If you villianise the masses long enough, then they will join your enemies cause.

All of that stuff seems to be homophobia in disguise. We are what we are. I would find it bizarre to have the mentality that I reject gays for acting the way they do - trying to enforce a certain "brand" of masculinity on them - saying that their form of being attracted to men is better than whatever they imagine to be the "gay identity".

Seems like a tortured way to go through life. I mean - shit - do most straight guys focus that much on an attempt to be acceptably masculine? If they do, I think it's pretty fleeting. I don't think most straight guys burden themselves with those types of thoughts.

Having same-sex attractions in this society is tough enough without additional pressure from these groups to tell you how to act. Sheesh.

Good points MisterMark. I would go a step further to say *internal* homophobia.

I wouldn't say "naive", but I would say "closed-minded" and "paranoid".

In what areas do you disagree with the majority of the scientific community?

The gay community is too caught up in its pride marches

One day or one weekend a year equates to being "too caught up"?

Popular society attacks straight men for the views far more than it attacks gay men for their life style.

So would you say that, overall, it's easier to be gay in America than to be straight?

Thank you, 15. It's absolutely internalized homophobia. I think that nearly all of us suffer from it to a certain extent. I just question about organization that prescribes the way a certain group of people should act.

I think dicks are fun to look at, and maybe even suck if I weren't in a hetero attached relationship. I can see the sexual appeal of a man, but not the romantic appeal.

I just can't see having a romantic relationship with a dude. It doesn't work for me. I only fall in love with women.

Guess.

Was the 'To the human race' part at the end a statement monster?

 

[JimJon]

1% because I've never had a sexual experience with a man, but like laissez faire said, I'm a very visual person. I don't mind looking at dicks and balls, hell I might enjoy it if I'm really turned on and them too, but I almost always prefer the softness of a woman.

I labeled too 10% gay. This means: I am straight, married and have a nice sex life but I like it too to see naked men, erected cocks without to have the desire to have sex with men.

Some interesting replies. Personally, I reckon I'm one of the (debatably few) people who can't call themselves bisexual. I think I might feel more of a "complete" person if I was able even to call myself "10% straight".

I'm not a woman-hater and I wouldn't say I was repulsed by women's bodies, although I'm not at all turned on by straight porn where we get a close-up of a woman with her legs wide open, leaving nothing to the imagination. (Incidentally, I've seen similar shots of men's anuses which, if anything, I found more unpleasant).

That reminds me of an old gay joke. At the risk of being called misogynist, I'll repeat it. A gay boy is born, looks back and immediately says "Ugh! I'm never going back up one of those again!" - thus defining his sexual identity from the first light of day. :smile:

..........."Ugh! I'm never going back up one of those again!" - thus defining his sexual identity from the first light of day. :smile:

as 1% gay, i see the option alluded to in your recalled joke as one that would be necessitated as a last resort only, yet being such, still a possibility - though distant.

i also, like another poster, could not imagine feeling romantically attached to another male.

I'm picked 20% straight because while I'm more sexually attracted to men, I've had 3 long-term relationships with women (well, I'm 24, so long-term for me, in college and immediately after, would have been something that lasted for about a year) and enjoyed having sex with them. I should probably make it 30% or so straight, but fuck that. I love cock.
