So what do you guys think you are on the Kinsey scale? Or do you think it's total B.S?

MODS! Help i accidentally posted this without the poll!

Zapata

what?

Jerky

wow thats the best ever!

i love/hate kinsey!

youngTL

These were supposed to be the poll options.

0 - exclusively heterosexual

1 - predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homoexual

2 - predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual

3 - equally heterosexual and homosexual

4 - predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual

5 - predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual

6 - exclusively homosexual


And it was supposed to be anonymous.

ummm ZERO

this is a wierd scale


I am going with Andrew Dice Clay on this one

"Either you suck dick or you don't, fags are so god damned sensitive, they don't know what they want to be called...I call them cocksuckers, I think that spells it out."

I think it is a little too simplistic. Human sexuality is more complex to me than just the hetero/homo dichotomy. For instance, just because a woman gets aroused by watching a porn featuring two women-does that necessarily mean that she is "incidentally homosexual" even though she doesn't have the desire to actually be with another woman?

youngTL

I didn't think of it that way, but I do think that counts as incidentally...just my take. I wish I had added the poll in the first place
Makin a new one, sorry mods.

ricecake

Poll made.

youngTL

Thank you!! If rep points were still around I'd give you some. But for now you earn mega praise!

phipark

Describing yourself, ricecake? j/k

I don't get aroused by watching two men get it on, I actually kind of want to . So I guess I'm exclusively heterosexual.

ricecake

sure, why not? girl-on-girl action (adjusted for the types of things girls generally like to see) is very sexy, imho.

youngTL

If you fantasize about people of your own sex, that is also part of the "incidentally homosexual" thing, unless you fantasize about them regularly, which would make someone a 5 or 6 I guess.

The essence of Kinsey's thesis was that men are arrayed along a continuum of sexual interest and gender focus, ranging, as the poll suggests, from wholly hetro to wholly gay. However, embedded in his thesis, evolved from massive surveys done in the late '40's, I believe, was the parallel notion that one might focus on where one chose to express the gender focus. That tends to get lost in the shuffle in interpreting Kinsey; he is not saying that if one fantisizes about male/male action, one is impelled to live there. Nor is he saying it is particularly unusual.

Recent studies on animal sexuality indicate that homosexuality, lesbianism and transvestism is common, even rampant in some species, and continues to drive the notion that Kinsey was beginning to drive home, that sexual appetite and procreation, however morally linked by theologic policy and interpretation in some religions, have little to do with "animal instincts".

I remember a friend of ours, who has clearly come to terms with his interest in men and now has a lifepartner, came to me one day and confessed that he was having fantasies about sex with women................ and he felt disloyal to his partner and his gender choice.(wondered whether he was a closet hetero). I did suggest that he could enjoy the occassional female body with a sexual eye without desgroying his relationship..........

i'm surprised #7 hasn't gotten any votes knowing the crowd that hangs out around here

Jerky

I'm sure he/she is used to it...and thinks we're idiots anyways

LOL that option wasn't supposed to be there, but all the funnier! Hmm...whose doing could this be?

Okay...just one question, how can transvestism (wearing clothes of the other gender) be common in animals?

I think the Kinsey scale is pretty accurate, on a basic level, if that makes any sense.

Obviously, there are situations where someone who considers him/herself a zero or a six may compromise. For those who are :ghey:, there may be a time, whether alcohol induced or not, you might consider fooling around with someone of the opposite sex.

For those guys who are a zero, would you consider getting a BJ from a guy? After all, as they say... lips are lips. :gheylaugh

[QUOTE=youngTL]I was wondering who would notice. The researcher defines it as adopting the body posture, and reconfiguring body hair to resemble the opposite sex in order to attract - rare, but not unique (nope, it is not some society matron cross-dressing her leashtrained terrier).......

Jerky

Does this happen in nature outside of humans?
do animals ever try to look like the opposite sex?

ric

I think that is what I just said.......

youngTL

I had absolutely no idea...honestly

youngTL

Another interesting thing to note...assuming most people answered honestly (besides those that picked 7), is that the ratio of 6's to 1's is about 13%...of course that is a bit disproportional probably because of the people who come in the thread. From meeting people, my guess is actually about 7% or so.

ric

I would doubt that this survey is a representative sample - There are a variety of studies out there that push Kinsey's work farther.....

ric

neither did I, but the guy's commentary on animal crossdressing was quite interestiing - mostly adjusting fur and body profile to imitate the opposite gender. Would have never thought of it..............

TSXInTheOC

My guess is that some people weren't completely honest when answering the poll question.

ccannizz11

I still don't understand what incidentally homosexual means....

I mean, there was this one time that I was incedentally in a threesome with another couple. Didn't do anything with the guy, but was not turned off by him being there.

TSXInTheOC

Question is, were you at all turned on by the fact that he was there, even if just a little bit? If there is, you're probably a 1, and there's nothing wrong with that.

youngTL

That doesn't count. If there were thoughts running through your head of grabbing the guy or something, then that's "incidental" if you only had thoughts like that once or a few times. I'm guessing you're straight as they come. The point is that you weren't turned ON by him being there. Now, consider if you had regular fantasies of being with dudes, or when you're at the beach, just ogling male muscle as well as the female body (i don't mean a look of admiration either), then that would be closer to bi.

edit...I don't actually know yet whether or not you were turned on by him being there.

ccannizz11

I think it was the idea of the threesome that turned me on or the fact that it was his gf, more than the fact that it was another guy around instead of another girl.

I will say that I had certain thoughts run through my head, you can't help it when you're in that situation unless you just close your eyes as tight as you can and mumble to yourself while everyone is doing their thing. but I didn't act on any of those thoughts, and wasn't more turned on by those particular thoughts than I was by being in the threesome. make sense?

TSXInTheOC

Yeah, that makes sense. I've got a buddy (Joe) who claimed to be totally straight who happened to be in a threesome with another guy once. Joe was eating out the chick when the other guy started fucking her. Joe continued licking, and his tongue clearly came in contact with the other guy's johnson. Joe told me that he was turned on by that - so he's probably a 1.

The labels straight/bi/gay are just too black & white. There are many shades of gray.

Don't drop the soap in front of him.

youngTL

Yeah, that makes sense. I once had a thought "what would it be like to touch tits?" and then one of my friends let me touch her (large) ones, and I was like...uhhh they feel like stress balls. Moral of the story...I thought I wanted to touch, but really didn't.

sasha

^
are like stress balls? Maybe that's why guys wanna grab them when they are stressed...

2003type-s6

I can't believe I'm going to even post in this thread, but why don't you just ask "Who else here is gay?" I'm out of here.

youngTL

I heard that lots of guys when they touch them for the first time, they just play around with them awkwardly and the girl doesn't get much out of it. Is that true?

GoDucksCLSPride

the first time i touched real breasts Yeah, i would agree. I think when any heterosexual man feels hes first tit, he is more amazed and intrigued with what it is than what to do with it. Therefore we spend more time actin like were trying to find our favorite radio station than trying to please her. It takes a time or two to grow out of it. Although Ive heard some dudes never do.
