I can *think* about having sex with a woman but it doesn't arouse me in the slightest so it doesn't make me a 5. Yeah, it does Ok well, I have no sexual interest in women at all, never have, and never will...call me whatever number you want.  | |

Are you telling me if you think about it all the time, but do nothing about it, you're a 0 ot a 6? Most gays are 5's anyway [Edited 7/29/06 21:48pm] | |

Are you telling me if you think about it all the time, but do nothing about it, you're a 0? First, no one said anything about thinking about it all the time. Well, could be someone did and perhaps I missed it. I am going by what jtfolden said in that thinking about sex with a woman and how it is not arousing in the slightest. I've thought what it must be like having intercourse with horses, dogs and cows and I am not rating a big 5 on the bestiality scale. The thought was there - it's certainly not arousing. .

Edit: That should read.... on what *you think* most gays are. Or, for that matter, what anyone is. Is this satan again ruling the Earth?

Ok, then I think most gays, from experience, are 5's especially since most of them actually try to be straight first Can Satan go to bed now? He needs a break . [Edited 7/29/06 22:12pm] | |

Very, good point though, why is zero or six an option if they're not an option? Satan? | |

Well hang on then. I did kiss a guy on the cheek with feeling, but it was nothing sexual (though he was bi), just an absolute joyous love of that guy at that time for what he'd done for me. I don't ever think about sleeping with guys or look at their bodies with anything other than the occasional admiration (wishing I looked like that), so what number is that? I was pretty much asexual (owing to severe shyness and low self-esteem) before I met my wife so I like to think I would fall in love with whichever person just really grabbed me, but in all honesty I'm only really physically attracted to my wife, who's a woman, and have never been physically attracted to a man, so that would make me a 0? | |

0.5-1. Definitely.  |

0.5-1. Definitely. Ok, I think that's about right. That's what I figured, anyway, having kissed a man and all, albeit on the cheek. Thanks Carrie, we'll call that the definitive answer - 0.5 to 1. | |

It makes you a 6 with unusually strong and enduring hetero slipups.  | |

I didn't call a 'person' anything. I pointed out that the idea wasn't logical based on the scale of the test and the human imagination. When you air an opinion and then attempt to apply it to someone else then you open it up to criticism and discussion. That's great that you never tried to me straight. In your gay circle, how many have the experience? Are people like you the majority or minority?
Well, I don't really have a 'gay circle', but of the gay men I know they are all over the map. One guy was married until he was in his 30's and probably used to identify as a 3 or 4 but now would "claim" he feels like a 6, judging by his comments... Another one I know dated women up until he was 19 and is probably a 5 now, etc... It's my experience that a lot of the younger gay men I know never dabbled in hetero sex like some gay guys did in the previous generation and before. | |

I'd agree with the other assessment of 0.5 to 1 if you want to deal in fractions of a whole. However, I have a question based on what you just said. You make the comment that you are only really physically attracted to your wife (which makes it sound like you don't think about other women either) and that you like to think you'd fall in love with whichever person really grabbed you. If your true inclination was leaning towards the idea of "love" being the ignitor of physical attraction for you and not *necessarily* gender 100% doesn't that open the door to a *slightly* higher number? I don't think dealing in 'possibilities' would normally apply to the scale but you did voice that so maybe it should register. | |

Well, I took it as you telling me I was illogical because of my opinion I think the 0 and 6 options are just "safe" options for people who fear the notion of disecting their sexuality | |

Emotions said: I think the 0 and 6 options are just "safe" options for people who fear the notion of disecting their sexuality
I'm not hearing any reasonable opinions to back this up, though. You appear to have a bias against a portion of the scale for no solid reason and attempt to apply that seemingly baseless notion onto the sexuality of others, if I'm reading your posts correctly. Taken at face value it seems like you have a desire for everyone to be bi-sexual to some degree, or that you are uncomfortable with the idea that someone might be exclusively one thing or the other... interesting. Are you bi-sexual and, perchance, insecure with your sexual standing among others? I've been completely homosexual since long before I even knew what being 'homosexual' meant... never had interest in the opposite sex. As it turns out, and though we didn't know it at the time, even my best friend in elementary school grew up to be gay. | |

It's an opinion, based on what I've seen and heard. What solid reason are you looking for? Am I not allowed to have an opinion?. I don't want everyone to be bisexual. I just know a lot of people lie about their sexuality, both ends of the scale. Perhaps, your exclusive sexuality makes you biased to anyone who dares see things differently. I can understand how that is threatening to some people. It seems most people don't like their sexuality challenged | |
