Another Poll about Sexuality

I feel like NSG hasn't had a poll about sexual orientation in a while. So go on, pick one.

I can't.

I'm in before the poll.

EDIT: Why doesn't anyone create the poll before they make the post? I've done it.

Also, I own this thread now... all credit for it's glory goes right to me. (discredit, for squallor, however, remains faithfully with Soyut! :D)

If I have to give a one word non-descriptive label, I'd choose bi.

But in detail: I'm mostly straight. I like to experiment with other guys sometimes though. But, I do not ever see myself in a permanent relationship with a guy. I have one male best friend, almost all of the other friends I've made are females. For some reason I just am more comfortable around females than males. So I guess I could be straight by default, since I'd always choose a woman over a man for a permanent relationship. The only person I've ever fallen in love with is a female. While I've done stuff with guys, I can't see myself falling in love with one.

Well, I'm in a monogamous satisfying sexual relationship with my wife. That kind of makes me heterosexual by default. :p

But I had been drifting from the middle of the scale toward the heteroexual end of the spectrum for quite some time. I would say that I prefer women. Ignoring the fact that I'm married for a moment: Even now, I have no aversion to the idea of having sex with a man. But there's no attraction either. I'm attracted to women, however. That's why i consider myself on the heterosexual side, and not bisexual.

I don't believe a person should have to pick one. Gay and Straight has just been turned into one more Us or Them polaric issue in the country and it's an insane thing to categorize people about. It's just sex.You're preaching to the choir, honey.

Yes, chest hair can be waxed off as well. Indeed, it's somewhat easier to wax a chest than it is to wax a leg, since it's a comparably flat surface.

Well, technically almost everyone has hair on their chest, it's just that lots of people only have the fine, short body hair that covers our bodies. This is called "vellus hair."

If you want to talk about more noticeable chest hair, you're probably talking about "terminal hair." It's actually not that uncommon for women to have some terminal hair growth. During puberty, some women grow little black hairs on or around their nipples. Women of some ethnic groups are more likely to have darker and more noticeable hair. Some women will grow terminal hairs between their breasts.

In women, excessive hair growth on the chest, face, or back can indicate some type of hormone imbalance. It also can be caused by certain medications or drugs. However, most women with hirsutism do not have serious conditions causing their hair growth. Also, as I said, different ethnic groups may be more likely to have terminal chest hair growth, or may have darker hair which will be more noticeable.

If you're wondering why I know so much about this, it is because when I was starting puberty I really wanted to grow a beard. I did a bunch of reading on body hair and whether it was possible for me to become a bearded lady.

My god why? The only reason I'd grow a beard is because I'm too damned lazy to shave every day.

As for the question I'm roughly a 5. I don't find women sexually attractive in general, but I can certainly appreciate them.

"can puppets even be gay mom?"
"I don't know"
"you don't know anything do you?"
"I know lots, just not a lot about the nature of puppet relations"

being that she's 4 I am not entirely sure she knows that being gay would have anything to do with genitalia anyway, I try to get answers from her, but she ain't talkin' :mad:


as far as I can tell, she figures that gay is when two boys or two girls are "married" and straight is when it's a boy and a girl, I think she thinks being married is about sleeping in the same bed and going to the movies together......:p She is vaguely aware of sex, but thinks it's mostly a reproductive act and that it's pretty "stupid" to do it if you aren't trying to make babies, kinda like it's stupid to cook lunch if you aren't going to eat it.

I feel like NSG hasn't had a poll about sexual orientation in a while. So go on, pick one.

So many people seem to think you're either BI, GAY or STRAIGHT. I would never, ever say I was straight "like an arrow", but I certainly don't consider myself bisexual, either. I think, on a scale of 1-5, 1 being straight, 5 being gay and 3 being bisexual, I'd be a 2.

Ever use italics?

rarely, I find them to be hard to read, I figure if I just type something below where I've quoted someone asking a question, people will realize that I'm answering their question.
