"Straight, bi or gay"

[13788]

jackinman: Hey I'm glad this thread has resurfaced, I think I missed this one along the way. Anyway here it goes. I can empathize with Javier whole heartily regarding the indecisiveness of what we should label ourselves. My situation is a little different from most of you. I label myself as bi right, however, I do not engage in any anal sex whatsoever, nor do engage in any fellation activities. I also do not tougue kiss other guys. But.....I do engage in j/o's with other guys and I seem to like that very much. But my real sexual stimulation (as it says under my handle name) is playing with guys feet. I'm sorry, but I don't want to gross anybody out because most of you are not into this and that is fine, but this is a huge fetish that I've had ever since I was a tiny kid. For some strange reason when I see a nice pair of guys feet my dick gets hard.
But i digress...
getting back to this thread......see I really dont know where I fall. Am I like on the low level of the bisexuality realm if there is such a thing? I don't know. So I too am kind of confused. But in concluding, if I have to label myself...I am bi.

Any thoughts will be most appreciated. Thanks for letting me ramble folks. This is my two cents.

Damn this beer is nice and coooooold!!!!!!!!

Sammy, would you carry on a submissive relationship if it were a Female you were in love with?

VeryWellHungTeen: I am bisexual more curious but have had more female relations than male ones.
I don't mind the concept of being but I guess I can be called a top for the male interaction, not that I mind playing.

Rusty2kma: Very bi-sexual.I like to have the best of both worlds.

Chilazer: I'm Bi and pretty happy about it actually. : It gives me an additional way of relating to other guys, rather than just talking about the "game" or g.f. problems. Being able to pop a nut with a buddy whenever the need arises... whether one on one or on the phone is sweet!!

Purple_hair: im totally gay. ive kissed a girl and it did nothin but make me wanna kiss a guy.. QUICK! lol

gigantikok: Straight.

though I've looked at pictures of penises before, and sometimes i have a curiousity to see other hung guys... but i don't I'd ever be attracted to a guy or be comfortable having gay sex. We all fit somewhere reletively near the middle of the sexuality spectrum anyway. No one is TOTALLY straight or TOTALLY gay. A completely straight guy prolly wouldnt be able to look through a common magazine and see male models without feeling sick, and visa versa.

I can't agree there. I'm the archetypal 6 on the Kinsey scale. I am not sexually attracted to women, I have no desire to be up close and personal to a vagina, I am not the least bit curious about sex with a woman. You can have my chair near the middle of the sexuality spectrum ... I won't be sitting in it.

dmw..

duh..where is a description of the archetypes on the kinsey scale?

this has been an interesting discussion. thanks guyz for sharing feelings and opinions on sexuality. i have not been around such a discussion since my freshman year at cornell. while i am straight (never been with a guy and probably never will), i can understand same sex love because of the strong feelings i have toward my brothers and close friends.

The Kinsey Scale's labelled 0 to 6, with 0 representing "exclusively heterosexual" behavior and 6 representing "exclusively homosexual" behavior. This includes not only sexual experiences, but also realities, fantasies, thoughts, feelings, and so on. Well, it tries to be as all-inclusive to the multifaceted thing that is sexuality as possible. For instance, in my own experiences, I've done quite a bit more stuff with men than women (which would place me between 3 and 5), but I hardly identify as such; I feel more "straight" than "gay" (which would place me between 1 and 3) even if my sexual encounters say otherwise, and as it turns out, I've definitely slowed down with men in comparison to a few years ago when I was more experimental and receptive to that "lifestyle."

There's more information available at [link=http://www.lgbtcampus.org/resources/training/kinsey_scale.html]this website[/link].

The farther one places himself or herself from the Kinsey zeroes and the Kinsey sixes, the more open to interpretation one's sexuality becomes. Though I might not agree that there are more Kinsey threes ("perfectly bisexual," if you will) distributed among the population [although if sexuality were an ideal Bell Curve, that might very well be the case], I still would say that people who exclusively identify one way or the other are pretty marginal compare to the larger middle ground. Or even better, that people might have a difficult time making sense of the continuum because people tend to think of sexuality as such a black-and-white (gay-or-straight) issue; that you're either a 0 or a 6; never mind that people who consider themselves bisexual are "eliminated" by default.

(Unlike gay or straight, bisexuals often have to qualify their sexualities, feelings, behaviors, etc. for someone to understand. Gay and straight are easy concepts to grasp; bi doesn't work that way.)

Damn: All this rambling and I just wanted to tell Gigantikok that it's pretty cool to hear him open up about his interest with other hung guys, even if he's straight; goes to show how nice it is to encounter people who are secure about their sexuality, especially fellow straight guys who are automatically pegged as anything but if they're comfortable.

Gets even more confusing because some societies don't even define gender as either/or.

 

[jay_too]

thanks dee for the url.

i am surprised that someone has not done a follow-up study on sexuality...sexual archetypes or whatever this would be called.. incorporating sexual fantasies and tolerance toward other expressions of sexuality. i may be wrong, but i think society today is much more open to a discussion of sexuality and sexual expression than the kinsey studies of the last century.

jonb..

expand, please.

definitely not in societies with large judaic-christain-moslem populations, right? so does religion tend to shape gender/sexual roles in a society?

thanks.

Gay.

Although I had a couple of girlfriends when I was in
college, and yes I had sex with one of them, and yes I
enjoyed it.

mjd: I ticked the gay box. I have been with both men and women but dont consider myself to be bi. when i am with men, i get off on the fact that I was having sex with a guy, whereas when i was with a women (far less often, I hasten to add) I was turned on because I was engaging in sexual activity. i.e. the female body does not turn me on at all, a guys does. does that make any sense?

I agree with many of the previous posts that people are far too concerned with seeking to catagorise their orientation. Human emotions dont come neatly pre-packaged in labelled boxes, so why should we seek to put ourselves in catagories? Just go with what makes you happy.
