I voted hetero. There have been a couple of women in this life where I have thought “maybe, if in a group situation” but my hetero response to some men is instant.

Are you me?

It’s weird, I’ve been kinda-sorta seeing this couple who’s doing an open/poly thing (we’re all kind of figuring it out together). And she is an absolute succubus… I get half a drink in me, and next think I know, we’re making out and my shirt’s off. Then the pants come off, and I’m, like… “oh, my girl-boner just deflated.” Then he gets his pants off, and I’m, like… “Welcome back, girl-boner!”

The retro-sexual’s creed"

1. If you have a problem, deal with it.
2. You may use anger, greed, or lust to justify committing a crime. You may not use insanity, poverty, abuse during childhood, poor or mis-education as excuses.
3. You will learn to farm, hunt, and cook over an open fire. You will learn to derive all your sustenance and needs from the wild.
4. You will not blame your parents for your present sorry situation.
5. You will not listen to others on how you will practice your chosen religion, or how you will observe whatever occasion you want to want observe.
6. Fight for your country. If you don’t want to hold a gun, use your mouth or your pen.
7. You will offer your seat to a women on the bus or the train, even if having female reproductive organs is her sole claim to being one.
8. If you’re young and someone offends you, fight him. If you’re old and he still offends you, tell him to stop or you’ll kill him.
9. Forgive but don’t forget.
10. Don’t cheat in business.
11. Don’t give in to greed. That’s the surest way to get swindled.
12. If you’re a man, look clean, neat, without frills.
13. If you’re a woman, look clean, neat, and modest.

95% hetero, _BUT_

I wouldn’t rule out [safe] sex with another guy- I mean, you don’t know if you don’t try, amirite? However, certain conditions would have to be met. Namely, if I were no longer bound by my vow of matrimony; he was cool with no-strings-attached recreational sex; and I was high as fuck on weed or X or both.

Whatever it takes to be with her, I’m that.

100% hetero.

The idea that I would “only” be 95% hetero just because I can see that Mark Ruffalo looks better than Karl Rove strikes me as rather odd.

Garfunkel and Oates had the same problem: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n39RzgVNP8](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n39RzgVNP8)

Hetero 100%; however –  
I’ve been in multi-partner situations, but only those where there was no, or only incidental, M/M contact. So though I’m not male-averse, I’m not sexually interested in them.

I’ll fuck anything with a shadow. Except lawn gnomes. That’s gross.

OMG, thank you for introducing me to them! I’d never come across them before, somehow. Utter brilliance!

100% straight woman here.

I tried a girl once, but I thought it was really awkward and unpleasant.
