Re-reading my last post and Drifter's (and mb's too actually) I have a notion.

I have no evidence whatsoever to back this up by the way. I'm postulating, not even stating a firm opinion nevermind trying to present it as fact. So please don't get on my case about stating absolutes - because I'm not, not at all.

My assumption above is that some 100% straight men can't believe a woman can be 100% NOT attracted to men.
Drifter's assumption (more an observation in his case maybe) is that some 100% gay men can't believe that a man can be 100% NOT attracted to men.
In both cases the 100% man is unable to believe that a person he has potential to be attracted to would have no potential to be attracted to him. So is it, perhaps, an ego thing?

Does the same hold true in women? Are 100% straight women more likely to have a hard time accepting a man can be 100% gay?

I couldn't let this languish at the bottom of the page.

But then there are some women who think that they are so gorgeous that no man, even 100% gay can resist them. No?

But yes, I think that you are on to something here.

Sexual ego :rolleyes:

Yes, I think there are women like that - I did start off on a 'this is a man thing' buzz but I'm fairly sure it applies to women too, as much? Maybe not.

I certainly know a fair few straight men who assume ALL gay men are attracted to them. And I've met more than 1 straight woman who assumed ALL lesbians and bisexual women were after her. Now that definitely is a sexual ego thing.

I've met women bearing this description and they make me laugh every time. I've also met men who laugh at the idea for a very good reason - they aren't interested because they gay. I have enough gay male friends to know.

Watching a woman hit on a gay man is hilarious but only because by that time they're usually so schnockered they can't see how fucking ridiculous they appear to everyone.

I've had women hit on me before and I just tell them flat out....sorry but I'm gay....I have seen naked girls but it does nothing for me....I don't even look at them, I turn my head....Alot of guys who say they are straight make such a big deal about gay guys but they love lesbians....Homophobic straight guys threaten to beat up gay guys but I think those types of guys are insecure with their own sexuality and won't admit they've thought of having a guy suck their cock....what about all those married guys that go to adult bookstores.....they get sucked off by guys all the time yet they claim to be 100% straight....sorry but if you go to an adult bookstore 2-3 times a week and a guy sucks your cock you are not 100% straight......those guys are in denial that they are really bisexual...

I don't believe that there isn't extremes because there are. There are 100% straight men, and they're the ones who don't have problems with gay men, but still aren't attracted to other men.

Same as 100% gay men. I consider myself, 100% gay although technically I'd be more like 80% gay since I do see beauty in women...I'm just not at all sexually attracted to them.

...would you like me to link to the 30 other threads?

Please do so. This is a topic that has been covered in numerous threads and various permutations and from all angles and I really don't get what newness there is here to uncover besides reaffirming one's (hetero)sexuality, which I am not sure is possible to the fullest extent on a site dedicated to dick.

If we want to talk about why people have such a hard time with labeling and self-identification within societal constructs, I offer this gem by Matthew:

Beyond the Kinsey Scale

There have been more than a few threads that asked about sexual percentages (and others on other topics) in which this topic has been discussed and debated from various angles. It's your topic, LordPenDrifterWood - you make the case that this argument is as one-sided as you claim.

Drfiterwood--most of the threads where this has been broached are not in the ETC section and most of the people who have said what you mentioned did not read the ETC section (or choose not to post here). So, you are either bringing up a topic that no one feels the need to discuss or bringing it up in a section where the people who may discuss it will never see it.

I am just choosing to post it here.

I can understand that the search function is unuseable, but I can't honestly remember this precise question being asked and as far as I can see from many of the responses, there is some intelligent discussion about the precise topic.

Despite an attempt to flame this thread for whatever purpose, there has been some consensus amongst 100% ers of all denominations. No one who has postulated our non existence whilst maintaining theirs has posted a rebuttal to the OP. Furthermore the development of the question into the nature of male sexual ego is also IMO very interesting.

Can we have a period of looking for the positives?

I don't find the search feature to be unuseable at all. It is not intuitive, but once you know how to use it, you can pretty much find what you want.

I had participated in those conversations and argued again and again that telling someone their chosen orientation percentage does not exists undermines your own orientation. Besides that I don't have anything new to offer.

You can label yourself 100%. But in reality we all fall somewhere in between the scale. Some people lack the intelligence or honesty to see this.

I have reflected on this long and hard. (Like most of the penises on this site:tongue:)

-- It is valid to be 100% straight or gay IN ONE'S ACTIONS.

-- With all the porn floating around, it would be a little hard to say that no one's mind ever wandered occasionally.

-- But does it really even matter?!! :rolleyes:

True. He does rather like to debate.

Methinks it comes from having no one to talk to other than Rice Crispies at breakfast...

JUST KIDDING!!! I'm a fan of the OP... and of you, of course! :biggrin1:

I sense to OP wants to have a debate for the sake of debate, since there do not seem to be conclusions or answers coming from him.

Not at all.

A few days ago I saw a guy state that there was no such thing as 100% straight, yet he was happy to profile himself as 100% gay.

I wonder why he (like many others I have seen) don't seem to see the anomaly in this reasoning.

If X thinks that Y can not be 100% straight, why does X think it's OK for X to be 100% gay.

If you read the early posts, this observation gets a lot of support.

I believe the extremes do exist and those who are 100% straight or gay are some of the most open minded people. The bashers and those who "cast the first stone" so to speak, aren't 100% anything but obnoxious. Those who are comfortable in their sexuality aren't threatened by others idea of who they are, because they know who they are and that's really all that matters.
