Your Sexual Orientation (Public Poll)

Bolol
25-03-2005, 17:14
(Created in response to the opinions of two highly respected posters. The poll is now public. So I ask those who voted in the previous poll to vote again for better reference. Thank you.)

Yes, I am a naughty boy...thinking such thoughts, blah blah blah! I'd just like to gauge the populations here on our beloved little message board.

For your reference:

Heterosexual: Attracted to the opposite sex.

Homosexual: Attracted to the same sex.

Bisexual: Attracted to both sexes.

Asexual: Attracted to neither sex.

Bicurious/Confused: Unclear on sexual orientation or experimenting.

Other: Could there possibly be an "other" choice? If so, explain.

Thank you. Please keep it civil...and mature to a degree :p

There'll probably be a disproportionately large percentage of homosexuals, but I think we knew that about the forum already.. No need to flame anyone - it's old news.

That's wrong. This poll should not be public. If people want to announce their gayness then they can. Your poll's not going to be correct because it will leave out the gay people who are afraid to vote.

Hey, they don't seem to be afraid. I don't think it's meant to track what percentage of the forum is homosexual, it's more to see who is who, which I think is interesting to see. Most of us won't make any judgements :)

Seriously though, I bet there aren't more homosexuals voting because they're sure anyone who's read their posts on other threads should know by now (Either that or they're to busy posting on other threads to vote) Meh, don't confuse me.

I.e. I'd gladly sleep with men, but it's beyond my capacity to fall in love with one. So am I bi?

it's entirely possible to be half gay. or, bisexual? generally, that's how i think of myself. just half gay. sometimes more than half. sometimes less.

Reason: I think sexuality is not a black or white thing but a sliding scale. I consider myself to be about 80% heterosexual. Meaning that although I would not normally, given the right circumstances/person I could have a homosexual relationship.

Stupid poll and all it is meant to do it place people in catagories that will be used is some other post to ridiclue.

If you wanted to find out the percentage of peoples S.O. then why make it a public poll. Because you did make it public I must ask...

Why is it any business of yours?

I consider myself heterosexual. Though there was a time that i considered myself bisexual.

Over time, I came to realize that I was attracted to women. I had no physical attraction to men. I just didn't have any aversion to them and an extremely horny nature. :)

I am in a monogamous relationship with my wife(yes, she is female). And I have a son. I hide nothing about my sexual past. Which is interesting because she finds stories of my sexual exploits to be very erotic. :D

Well, for lack of a better term, I consider myself bisexual.
I'm attracted to a few guys sexually, but not really emotionally like I would a woman.
More like a "friends with benefits" sorta thing.

I don't know if you'd call it "sleeping" with guys either. Not unless Clinton slept with Monica, cuz that's honestly as far as I'll enjoy the ride.
How do you define bi, everyone seems to be asking (or perplexed by it's existence). It seems to be different depending on who you ask.

My straight friends would say I'm just kinky, not really bi.
Gay guys definitely tell me I'm not really bi, just still in the kinky department.
I'd probably say I was bi. So who knows, and really, who cares?

I'm straight. lol I don't dislike people who are gay or bisexual (I'm actually very objective to others' beliefs)... the way i see it, though, is... it's like legos, you can't fit two of the same legos together... you have to have an in piece and an out piece.......................

lol I guess that's true. Guys have both... but technically speaking ... on the FRONT side... women have the in piece and men have the out piece... and they are supposed to fit together. Two guys can't fit together in the front.

What a poor imagination you have. I've fit "together in the front" with most guys, through docking, 69, "tools"... you name it. But, front-to-back is still great!

Hey, there are asexual people, ya knowA better word here is 'nonsexual', I would think, as 'asexual' brings up connotations of asexual reproduction and species with one gender. They just seem to not be here.

It's funny how frequently obscene, obvious hetero innuendo flies on NS without anyone batting an eye, but even the uber-liberals cringe a bit when you're much less frank about male-to-male sex is mentioned. :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's not like I was graphic at all. I guess it's the same thing that makes straight people go "Why do gays have to flaunt their sexuality? Straight people don't do that!". They're so completely accustomed to the constant barrage of heterosexism around, that they're oblivious to it and only pick up on other, however slight, non-hetero expressions of sexuality.
