I see things in black and white myself. If you’re a man and you suck dong or insert it into your anal cavity and vice versa, you are either gay or bi. There is no scale that goes from 1 to 5 in gayness, not in my world. If you think so, read my former statement. 🙂 Now, back to my question. lol

> Odd. It seems the simplest would be, has sex with just the same gender, homosexual, has sex with both genders, bisexual, has sex with just the opposite gender, heterosexual. We really complicate things way too much.

Yeah, we do. The actually simplest would be “have sex with whomever, call yourself whatever, who cares”.
