OK, I’m back at work in the prison today, and I did think of surveying the inmates with the same query as in this thread. I think perhaps I’ll raise the issue at our next medical staff meeting: We could make it a standard question during their intake physical exam. It would also be interesting if we could do an exit interview after release from prison, and see if the numbers changed during incarceration. Thanks again for all your help, sdmb’ers. We’re getting closer! QtM ---

Qad: Won’t including the prisoners skew the results? I can imagine a man going into prison a 0, changing practice to a higher number as the result of the lack of female partners, and then returning to pre-incarceration form once he’s back in society. ---

It might help quantify the “situational homosexuality” tendency of some individuals. ---

Male - 0 I think anyway. I mean,… I know if a guy is attractive or not but only based on popular social stereotype. I HAVE NEVER found a male to be attractive TO ME though. Damn!!! Why am I sitting here questioning my sexuality?? OK,…OK,… I’m straight!! But then why do I even notice if a guy is attractive?? Shit!!! Ok,…OK,…I’m a 0.5 \_ But I would NEVER even consider doing anything about the .5 of it!!! ---

Shameless bump to try to get closer to collecting at least 300 data points from this thread. It is for science, folks! 😃 If I’m successful, I’ll share some of my “Women in prison” anecdotes!
