I’m towards the gay side of bi; the women I tend to be attracted to are all pretty androgynous. Think Tilda Swinton in _Constantine_. That said, though she’s nowhere near my usual type, I wouldn’t kick Monica Belluci out of bed. ---

I think maybe a better question would be “If you were straight, what kind of women do you think you’d go for?” because right now, although I appreciate that Sofia Vergara looks great in her bikini, the thought of actually having sex with her is still weird. As someone who is sexually attracted to women, trust me you’re being attracted by the work here, not the sex. Aside from Madonna in her very early phases, none of these women are actually sexually attractive to straight men (actually, I don’t know who Sofia is but in order to prove my straight-manliness, won’t bother checking before spouting my opinions). I share your attraction to Kate’s and much of Dolly’s work, though, so don’t take this as a complete diss of these accomplished women. Just trying to further your education in case you need to pass as straight someday. > [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > As a gay I have a touch of the bi for [Tricia Helfer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Helfer). She looked amazing in Battle Star Galactica, whatever role she was playing. I would publicly claim to be gay if it gave me the chance to ‘get fixed’ by Tricia Helfer. Just saying, if that helps at all. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Yeah, once you get the wrong term stuck in your head, it can be hard to think of the right one, even if it should be obvious. Or when you are rude, be sure and post it. What a tragic lack of manners. The OP used the term in quotation marks, and if you weren’t so bent on being mean, you would know the sense in which it was meant. I bet you even did know the sense, but you just wanted to be trouble. I can certainly see something else that needs to ‘get fixed.’ Best wishes, hh ---

And nobody was pissing on this thread. When you grow up in a society that wants to “fix” you (or worse), the word tends to push buttons. ---

Quite - why don’t you actually let others decide what they do and don’t find offensive rather than pre-emptively complaining about it **handsome harry**?
