I have no problem sharing if anyone else wants to.

I voted for: 1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual

I’ve had one homosexual experience to verify my total orientation to myself. It did not arouse me in the least. I have participated in group sex though, interacting only with the female partners, so I suppose that would make me “incidentally homosexual”.

Since Kinsey liked stats: Caucasian/other, Male, 30

Heads up: you have two ‘women/exclusively straight’ categories.

One was obviously intended to be ‘women/exclusively gay’.
mmm

I’m not sure whether “men” means that that’s the option for men, or for people who like men. I’m a “man” not a “men”, hence the confusion.

Thanx. I sent in a report to request a correction.

That means the option for men.

I think I dood it.

I’ve never actually slept with a woman, but I gave myself a four (men/predominantly gay, more than incidentally straight) anyway. I’d have no issues with doing so and find them attractive often enough. If I wasn’t in a relationship and met an attractive woman interested in casual sex I’d probably give it a go. Or, alternately, found one who wanted a threesome. I really don’t know if I could manage a relationship with a woman, though. I’d worry about myself defaulting to a role that wouldn’t appeal and I can’t imagine many women caring to be with someone so…flamboyant.

not sure what “incidentally gay” means. A gay incident or two? What if you’re bi-interested but have only had heterosexual sex? What if you had a gay incident but didn’t like it? Are you looking for attitudes and attractions, or experiences?

You are the best judge to express your opinion of what you’ve learned about yourself. Pick the category you are most comfortable with.

Thankyou :slight_smile:

Male, incidentally gay, or a 1 on the traditional scale.

My adjective for myself is not-straight.

Gay male (6 Exclusively homosexual)… I’ve never even seen a naked woman… Ewww :smiley:

Male, 28, exclusively heterosexual. Not as curious as Acid Lamp, apparently. :wink:

Female, 27, equally bisexual.

And before anyone gets all up in arms about me being married to a man, hold on. Yes, I’m married to a man. I do not have sex with woman anymore. However, I also do not have sex with 99.9999999999999999999999999% of men either. If I had married a woman, people would be saying that I’m not bisexual, I’m gay. Monogamy and bisexuality are not mutually exclusive.

In my past, I have had sex with both women and men. I am more or less as sexually attracted to men as I am to women. I’m pretty much equally bisexual.

I’ve had very few sexual partners in my life at all, and they’ve all been women. So I said “exclusively straight”.

I think I’m a 1,
but I do find cfnm(clothed females,nude males) scenarios arousing, but for me its always about the power balance, with the woman as a sexual predator and men as a kind of victim

men/predominantly straight,only incidentally gay

This was the best option for me though I have never had a gay encounter. I label myself very bi curious but have not been able to do anything about it. I did have one opportunity but things did not work out. If another opportunity presents itself, I’ll definitely be ready.

Out of curiosity, how do you define ‘incidentally’ gay?

Have you only had one or two encounters or contemplated a few moments of same sex desire is how I would interpret it.

Or, I’m 99% straight, meaning given the right circumstances…
