“several makeout sessions with female friends where clothes were off” See, to me this qualifies as “a homosexual experience”. Unless the definition of “makeout” has changed drastically. I think of makeout as involving kissing, and kissing (aside from stuff like kissing your great-aunt’s cheek or whatever) is sexual.
I think this definitely counts as a homosexual experience.
Think about it: If a future boyfriend told you that he has had “several makeout sessions with male friends where clothes were off, but it wasn’t sexually naughty, it was just having fun”, would you consider him to have had a homosexual experience?
OK lets be clear to Opal here
When I said No to #1, that includes no kissing, touching, or anything similar with a male. I would have no problem answering yes to #1 if it were in any way true, but it isn’t.

I invite anyone who answered #1 not to Opal’s liking to similarly come back and be precise.
I am 35.
Oh please. :rolleyes: I’m not the bad guy here. ALL I HAVE DONE is express the possibility that not everyone is on the same page with regards to what does or does not qualify as a “homosexual encounter”. I’m not saying everyone Has To Agree With My Definition. I have not said that anyone’s answers were “not to my liking”. I simply pulled out LunaV’s answer as an example to illustrate that, just maybe, not everyone was defining it the same here.
No.
I have briefly smooched another man, not a family member, on the lips, but no tongue, and all clothes on. Just for the record. In my view, that’s not a “homosexual experience.” YMMV.
Male.
Straight.
What do you classify it as? What was the purpose of the kiss?
I love this definition of “just having fun”. I’ll have to see if I can talk some girls into asexual naked makeout sessions. 
It has a certain ring to it…
Maybe Band Name, or at least Album Name.
Not answering on behalf of Briker, but a smootchy kiss between same sex people could be done as a joke, for a bet, or to cause embarissment without being a homosexual experience. If there was no form of attraction between the people.
Would you say that smooching a cross dresser thinking they were members of the gender they outwardly show could be considered homosexual experience?
I agree, context is important. The cases you sighted above would make it a non-sexual thing. That’s why I asked the purpose of the kiss.
No.
- Entirely technically, yes. One session of over the clothes petting when I was about 12.
- male
- gay
- 30
NOTE The following is NOT a commentary on the answers provided by anyone else, it is simply relating my experiences.
Just wanted to mention that experimenting seemed to be quite common where I grew up also (central Ohio). I fooled around with guys from my neighborhood, church, a few cousins. All the ones that I’ve seen since then are straight, married and very likely would never admit to the things that happened. Several of them have refused to admit anything happened, it hasn’t come up with the others.
How can a makeout session NOT be a sexual experience? Thus, a same-sex makeout session a homosexual experience?
How can you state that you’ve engaged in the above, and still answer “No” to question 1?
You’ve accomplished something besides confusing several posters, however. You’ve proved OpalCat’s point: That not everybody thinks a sexual experience is a sexual experience…
- No
- Female
- Straight
- 37

I’m not sure how to answer based on the way this thread is going so I’m just gonna say that I’ve snogged with a few women, and some groping happened, but the cootchie was strictly avoided.
-
woman
-
straight
I get what Opal is saying, and don’t think she’s being confrontational about it either. I know I was wondering how to answer question one - I mean, I haven’t had full blow SEX with a woman, but I’ve been cozy with one (well, more than one, actually.)
33
As an addendum: I’m 45. I don’t recall having lesbian experiences being particularly “in vogue” back when I was having them - if anything, my girlfriends and I were rather circumspect about it unless among people we knew we could trust.
It’s not often talked about, but John Peel was born John Asexual-Naked-Makeout and had his name changed by deed poll as part of his first contract with the BBC.
I’ll bet more than 90% of those in this thread have never met another member face to face.
To expand a bit, I’m not usually attracted to other girls, but sometimes, in certain situations (that include a lot of alcohol) I’ll feel turned on by other women. I suppose that means I’m straight with bi tendencies.
Perhaps a separate thread concerning the definition of “homosexual experience” is in order?
