Would a st8...redux

[sspen]

I can see how all of you Kinsey 0 guys get all worked up about these incessant questions about "under what circumstances could I, as a gay dude, get you to have sex with me" threads. I'm sure it gets very annoying.

I'm sure if you've spent any time on this board, you realize that views toward sexuality are as varied as its members. Which means that not EVERYbody is a Kinsey 0. Sexuality is a continuum between completely straight and completely gay; and most people fall somewhere in between. There are a gazillion men out there who are Kinsey 1, 2, or 3's who have every right to identify as straight, but might be a little less "straight" than you. Are they not allowed to identify as "straight"?


PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: How about every time you read the word "STRAIGHT" on this board, you substitute the phrase "identifies as straight"? It might make those annoying questions a little easier to ponder.


I have had sex with dozens of STRAIGHT (what phrase did I just suggest you substitute?) guys. I can tell you they are out there.


In closing, nobody has the right to decide how a person identifies him/herself. If I call myself straight, I'm straight in MY eyes; I'm not waiting around for YOUR assessment of how straight I am.


Nobody needs label police.

Or how about we answer the question as worded rather than changing the question asked?

If someone specifically asks "Would a straight guy do X" then I'm going to answer that question, not "Would a man who identifies himself as straight but might possibly be open to same sex experiences do X".

There are 3 "main" terms we use to identify sexuality. Straight, Gay, and Bi. Bi, a numerical prefix that denotes 2....is just that, meaning 2 of something. So take a 100% straight man....and add the smallest amount of sexual preference for the same sex...and you can no longer call that "Straight"...it has moved into the "bi" category. Because his sexual preferences are no longer exclusive to 1 particular gender. He has sexual preferences for 2 (bi) genders now. I don't think this is something you can argue with.

I, as far as I know, am a 100% African American Man. My mother is black, so is my father, grand father, grand mother, and so on as far into my genealogy as I can recall. I have no problem being black... But if somewhere waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay deep down in my genealogy there is a white (or any other race) relative that contributed to my birth...I am BI-racial. Would any of you accept me "identifying" myself as Caucasian?

Now.... we can ignore science and math and call ourselves whatever we want....but we'd be wrong. Sorry :dunno:

If that's the case...why post this ridiculous thread? To further prove you don't care what others thing? People who truly don't care what others think....don't need to vocalize it....they're content with their perception of the world in their minds.

It's not about anyone assessing your lifestyle....but you ARE trying to bend words out of their intended definitions. For what? If you're so proud of who you are, why fight or complain about what other people label you?

How about you get over your obsession with the idea that straight men are secretly gay? Moreover, why should anyone accept your redefinition of a term ("straight") that the majority of the population understands as meaning... wait for it... heterosexual.

Ironic that you say that, considering you want to keep the label and change the meaning.
