Now that Dead Chipmunk has been outed, (as if it weren’t pretty obvious and I don’t know why people go on living a lie when everybody else knows where they REALLY want to put their schmenges) us straight guys seem to be getting crowded out. And all the bi-curious ladies as well as those whose curiousity is still being satisfied, well, **Penthouse** could have pictorials 'til doomsday using all of them. So, what I want to know is: Are there any straight people left in the Straight Dope? Hands? Chief, you’re in the Navy. Are you SURE you should be raising that hand? ::dodges a Tomahawk missle:: ---

I’m not straight or gay. I’m too weird for sex. ---

Actually, I’m pretty bent, but I haven’t actually done anything with anybody… It’s good to have an active imagination, I guess. 😃 ---

dogsbody, I don’t want to start any Great Debate here, but if people are genetically coded to be gay or straight I’d expect you would have some idea by now. ---

dz, nothing has come out (as it were) in my life to suggest to me that I’m anything but hetero. However, I’m also somewhat “asexual” in that - for the most part - the whole idea of sex leaves me going “ick.” I’m sure the right person could change my mind. \<–note: not looking for pickups, here. ---

oh yes, here’s another straightie. Not even the slightest temptation otherwise. Now, I’m still wondering if this is something I should be proud of. 🙂 -niggle ---
