How Did You Come Up With Your Straight/Gay Profile Percentage And

[hud01]

Mine is because I want to kiss, hold, date, fuck and possibly marry a girl. With a guy all I want is mutual bjs, nothing else.

 

[Phil Ayesho]

I figure it is a good approximation of relative sexual interest.

While I find sex with either just as physically pleasurable... Women offer an emotional appeal that outbalances the purely sexual interest I have in men.

I figure 30% or below implies I might have sex with a guy... but am unlikely to settle down or share a life with one.
Which is the truth.

 

[EllieP]

I find some women incredibly beautiful, others have an almost impossible to ignore sexual attraction. But I have absolutely no interest in having a sexual relationship with any woman.

 

[Infernal]

Mine is because I've occasionally had sex with women over the years. I don't seek it out, but don't turn it down when it happens. I don't shriek and faint at the sight of a vagina. I appreciate female beauty, but for love and relationships, I prefer men.

 

[LeftHookBrutal]

My dick is sexist and doesn't like men

 

[B_theaussieone]

i thought the precentages thing was silly, if im attracted to you, id fuck you, despite whats between ur legs.

My 90% gay is based on my sexual interest in men. So that is mainly physically, not emotionally. My relation with women is usually just the other way round.

 

[Silvertip]

I started out 99% straight, 1% gay because I have absolutely no interest in an emotional connection with men. In other words I agree wholeheartedly with theaussieone's Gore Vidal quote and have always felt that a person's sexual orientation should be based on that which we cannot choose or easily change; i.e. whether or not one can have an emotionally fulfilling, loving, caring, sharing, life partner of either sex (bi), same sex (gay) or opposite sex (hetero).

But then I found myself being flamed by any number of gay members of the site as having an identity crisis, not knowing what the f**k I was talking about or being in denial. So I changed my percentage to 80/20 since I do have a strong interest in enjoying sex with men, it just doesn't extend to all the huggy, kissy, hand-holding moments that I can enjoy with a woman. And the flaming comments and messages continued so I finally adjusted it to 60/40. So the end result of my four years' membership at LPSG has been the realization that labels suck and we'd all be better of not using them at all. But it's human nature to want to pigeon-hole people into neat little categories where they can be thought of in a prejudicial way. That's a helluva lot easier than having to think and working to understand the individual. So I guess we're all stuck with the labels.

The only reason I haven't followed theaussieone's lead and simply deleted my percentages from my profile is because I now view those self proclaimed percentages to be a fun part of the LPSG experience. I really enjoy reading the member's thoughts and posts and then speculating on just what their percentages mean to them, individually. As was pointed out by the first respondent to this thread (ManlyBanisters) it means different things to different people and I find it is fun to speculate on what those numbers show about the member's view of sex acts, relationships and orientation.

For me, I had one same sex experience (received a BJ from a guy) almost 25 years ago when I was 18. I have always considered myself straight and always had sex with women. Since being introduced to this website, I have developed a new appreciation for the human form (both male and female) and I find this site and the links herein to be extremely sexually exciting. While I have no desire to be with men sexually, I do appreciate looking at pictures of them and find them beautiful, as I do with women. I am fascinated by the beauty of the body. That's the best way I can explain my 99/1%.

 

[Rubix]

Picked no response because although I identify with being straight, I wouldn't discount same-sex encounters or a relationship. I guess it depends on whether you base your orientation on behavior or internal compass.

Open minded would be a better, non committal option.

 

[mack_the_knife]

I have zero interest in men from the standpoint of wanting to have sex with them. I've never had any sexual encounters with another male and don't intend to either. However, I am secure enough in myself and my hederosexuality to know and admit when a man is good looking. As far as pornographic interests are concerned, I definitely prefer to see a good looking man with a good body and a nice hard dick pounding away at my favorite pornstar, ergo the 1% gay.

 

[greengrass_89]

Mine is currently at 99% gay 1% straight. I could probably adjust that to a little more straight. I am attracted to men. I enjoy the company of men. I am in a same sex relationship. However, I greatly appreciate the beauty, grace and gentle disposition of a woman. I can make out with a woman and get really turned on. Sometimes I fantasize about women. But given all that I definitely identify with being gay/homosexual.

 

[zephyr808]

I went with 99/1, since I have only ever had sex with other men, but I have thought about what it might be like to have sex with a woman someday. But even if I do, I doubt it would change my % much, if at all, since fucking one woman does not make a guy straight, just like fucking one guy does not make a guy gay. I appreciate the beauty that many women possess, but it's more admiration on my part than anything else; on the other hand, guys just turn me on. It's really more a question of how each person sees him or herself and others, so it's open to interpretation.

 

[tryinmybest]

Mine was purely based on my bi sexual fantasies of mutual jacking off and maybe bottoming with a guy.
These are all just fantasies though and will probably never be followed through with, although I do enjoy using toys by myself and getting fucked by my wife with a strap on.

 

[sandiasky9]

I like the comment above about open minded would be better option. When I "hunt" I go after women. Yet, I run in very diverse circles. If I find someone fun I am open to expressing that. I used word hunt above but really more of a relationship person. So I took the number of sexual partners I have had in my life and just did the math. I find women beyond amazing physically and especially mentally. There have been a few male friends that happened to be gay/bi and things have happened and likely will again in the future.

 

[D_Sal_Manilla]

Ha! So true!

Doesn't really make sense or they might just want to compare I guess.

 

[luvguyz]

For me, my 1% str8 is just an acknowledgement of the fact that I sometimes "check out" women because I can appreciate female attractiveness. Also, I wouldn't rule out sex with a woman if the right opportunity came up, purely out of curiosity, but women do not "turn me on" in any way. However, I'm intensely attracted to men physically and emotionally. All my fantasies and desires, crushes, relationships, and sexual experiences have been with other men.

 

[gustavorofer]

My 10% gay are because, although I do like the view of a penis, and a men's body averall, I do not have desire of having sex with them - it's just a visual thing.

And yes, I do get an erection from even watching gay porn, although I don't like having sex with another man. Kind of only a voyeristic gay here, LOL.

 

[DQSundae]

I don't think the percentages mean anything. How could you possibly measure something as fluid as sexuality that way? I think if there we're a way to pigeon hole someone like that then it would depend upon how you feel at any given moment in time. For example, I was watching Star Trek (the new movie) I was definately thinking I could fuck the shit out of Zoe Saldana (Uhura) but then I thought I might also get off blowing Zachary Quinto (Spock, I mean who could resist those hot pointy Vulcan ears). Anyway I forgot my point now, so who cares.

 

[OscarM]

I tend to be attracted to guys, not women. But there's always the occasional one that catches my eye. But on the other hand, I feel more of an emotional attachment to women. And sometimes I feel broody.
