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?
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. Yes, it opens the door to a higher number, but I'm not sure how honest I'm being in saying I am only attracted to my wife, that is the person she is (and who happens to be female), and that were she a man I would have been in a gay relationship. I am devoted and yes I'm rarely attracted in that very sexual way to any other women, but I think I may be being a little romantic. As I said in an earlier post, I've never been physically attracted to man, but I have been physically attracted to at least one woman, my wife, so that's 1-0 already regardless of the nature of my attraction to other women I've seen or met. My wife has actually joked before that I might be gay, but I think that is due to me being a sensitive type, not a macho guy, and this somehow equating in her mind to traits more homosexual than heterosexual, rather than any actions or words on my part to suggest an actual attraction to men, the very definition of homosexuality. Quite an interesting thread really, but ultimately there's no need for a number. Like Popeye, I am what I am. ... [Edited 7/31/06 5:15am] | |

Emotions said: I didn't realize I had to have examples to backup a harmless opinion. 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?. Everyone is allowed an opinion and when they start applying it to others there ought to, at least, be something solid to base it on. Again, if you're going to apply your own ideas to someone else that might not agree with them then you should be prepared to have them questioned. Everyone is allowed to question something just as equally as someone is allowed to have an opinion. Welcome to free discussion. 
...but you've explained that you are witness to a lot of liars. That's fine, my friends don't seem to lie a whole lot (indeed, a lot seem ot provide WAYYY TMI) but I imagine it depends on the crowds you gravitate to in your life. 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
See, the difference being that I'm not trying to change what someone else might identify as... and some people may lie regardless of what their "number" might be so to blindly eliminate the extremes, on a whim, makes no sense to me. Those points on the scale exist for a reason. I see no real purpose in 'challenging' people over their defined sexuality . It's always nice to talk to people to get an understanding of where they are coming from and to clarify an issue but I'm not going to come right out and call a complete stranger a liar on this topic under the cover of having an opinion. Anyway, no harm no foul. | |

Isn't this just a theory or whatever anyways? It's not a fact, it's just what Kinsey thought. | |

Anyway, no harm no foul. Sorry, if you got the impression that I called anyone on this thread a liar. That wasn't my intention. I don't care what number someone identifies themself, however, I personally believe that no one is truly a 0 or a 6 and this comment I imagine it depends on the crowds you gravitate to in your life seems to be a stab at my peronality. I don't gravitate towards liars | |

I'm not sure the scale itself could be classified as anything other than, well.. a scale. Kinsey's books, reports, etc weren't theories, though, they were based on actual research via human interviews. Anyone can make theories based on the hard data, however. | |

So, if someone says they are a 0 or a 6 (like myself) then you think it's a lie... I fail to see why. You said you don't wish everyone was bisexual yet your very beliefs on this matter are skewed to that result. and this comment I imagine it depends on the crowds you gravitate to in your life seems to be a stab at my peronality. I don't gravitate towards liars
You just seem very mistrusting of everyone, and what they state, in regards to this topic (and everyone else on this thread seems refreshingly honest) and very presumptuous as to what someone really is vs what they identify as. That's just how it comes across to me. No offense intended, I'm just stating it like it is. | |

OK, thanks for clearing that up. I don't really have a scientific brain. | |

I was refreshingly honest about what I believe the world is and you seem to have a problem with it. Maybe you like people thinking things like that behind your back, but at least I was man enough to say what I, and many others also, believe. I fully respect your evaluation of yourself being a 6. I never challenged your evaluation of yourself or anyone else's | |
