Er, how did you know you were straight?

I think that's something you just know. How do straight people know they are straight? Same answer.

I don't think its the case that you are completely straight or completely gay.

I think there are people who have genuine attractions and people who are open to relationships/sex/whatever with whomever. I don't think everyone experiences attraction the same way on a biological and psychological level. There's quite a bit of science to it that's still not fully understood and I think that makes it hard to classify (when/if applicable) people.

Alas, I'm pretty much just drunk and talking out my ass but I can relate to your confusion, Vanilla.

Edit: I just realized I didn't answer anyone's question and this post is perhaps utterly useless. Move along.

At your age, how can you not understand your own sexuality? Why are you asking other people who you want to ****?

Dude, that's a pretty ****ty thing to say.....

why?

I'd be really interested to see studies about it. Thank you for understanding. And no, your answer was really appreciated. :)

Way to make it black and white. I know plenty of people that aren't sure of their sexuality, even in their 40's. I'm asking because I am not 100% sure whether my attraction to women is just appreciation or something more. I would definitely sleep with a woman if I had the opportunity, more or less to find out whether it's something I want to keep doing. Knowing me, I will most likely never do that. I absolutely love being with men, but I have this niggling feeling about women. I'm sorry if my questions offend you. I am not trying to impose on people, I just want see what thought patterns they have when they consider their sexuality.

This was already mentioned.

Just look up The Kinsey scale.

People go from 1 to 6 on that scale with 6 being completely gay and 1 being completely straight but it is believed that most people are somewhere in between.

I watched a movie on it in either a biology or psychology (same things, in a lot of ways) class a while ago but I can't for the life of me remember it. Googling the science of attraction just brings up a bunch of stupid "X facts about attraction!" kinda crap that's like 90% bogus, 10% common sense (herpderp, so-and-so's pupils dilate when they see someone they're attracted to!). If I can figure out what it was called I'll let you know, don't remember much of it but the bits I do were pretty fascinating.

I read that in a magazine once. They said that you can be in between homosexuality and heterosexuality. It may seem obvious that you should know what your sexuality is, but it's not that simple.

I'm a two on the Kinsey scale, which equates to being bicurious IMO

I got a fail on the Kinsey scale, making me an "unusual person", apparently.

I got a 0. 100% hetro.

Me too! What is with us?

I got a 3... and yet the last time I tried to **** a dude I bailed.

Also a 0.

I won't go between the legs with the same gender, skeeves me out.

But I like looking and I've enjoyed doing other things. I'd say I'm a firm 2.

Your last fm chart has all Backstreet Boys Songs on it, might want to re-take the test, just saying. :D

i didnt take that test but i want nothin to do with a man or trans sexually so im gonna asume id be a zero

Me either but still got a weird result.

I came out full blown Liberace gay. Who knew. I love tests.

Nono, I'm not offended, I just have never understood how people don't understand their own sexuality. If I wanted to **** men I'd be gay. If I wanted to **** men and women I'd be bisexual. Seems simple. Go ahead and **** a woman you like I guess? Then maybe you'll know for sure?

Me too, I only want to **** women and I've known this since childhood (that is, since I've been old enough to ***). A lot of gay people also know really early in their lifetimes who they prefer to ****. I guess I feel a bit sorry for confused people, and especially those who have to factor social mores into their sex decisions. Why not just **** who you want to ****?

:laughing:

I thought this video was a great way to help people realise that bisexuality is acceptable and not just "a phase":



And I don't believe that everyone knows what there sexuality is, there are many confused people (like me) and it can years to know what you feel you are (sexually) inside. It's great if you do know, but for people who don't, telling them "how hard is it to know" is a bit simplistic.

So I sought out the Kinsey scale and I was faced with such a result

sorry???

Lol wtf?

I think I'm a bit unusual in the sense that my partner is essentially gender neutral but I would not be bothered if they wanted to have sexual reassignment surgery because I love them unconditionally but wow, what a lame quiz.

...How is there a wrong answer on that test? I mean, idk. I'm always skeptical of these things. It's easy to say having sex with someone of the same gender is a turn on or however they word it but actually following through?

At least in my case, I've had plenty homosexual fantasies but of the times I've actually tried to engage with a man... it just wasn't totally happening for me, not at those times anyways.

I have to give up on many of those multiple-choice personality tests because none of the answer choices work for me.

for real. sexuality and gender are both incredibly fluid concepts. how the hell could one answer "wrong" to anything regarding either is totally beyond me.

either way I love my boyfriend who is more of a woman than a man but has not decided on his pronouns. I call him "my beautiful wife" anyway.

I got the same result a long time ago!

I've taken it a couple of times and consistently score a 2

I have hooked up with girls, and I liked it. I just haven't gone all the way.

Well, after watching the girl in that video I can be sure that I'm not gay. Me-ow.

But seriously, this whole homophobia thing doesn't just hurt the non-heteros. If I hadn't of experimented a bit I would have been paranoid that I was gay just for the fact that I wasn't disgusted by gay sex. Sexuality is confusing enough without the BS, and all I want is to know what kind of porn to jerk off to so I can get back to playing video games.

I'm just not a very sexual person. I can only really get into sex if there's a lot of meaning and feeling behind it. Love gets me off.

Before I started having sex, I'd identify myself as 60/40, favoring straight. I'd say that's bumped up to a 75/15 now that I love a dick and don't drink as much.

3 - Equally heterosexual and homosexual.

Lmao I remember I took the Kinsey test a long time ago and it told me I was mostly homosexual and that was before I realised I was bisexual

I pretty much am more interested in women even though I have a lot of boytoys and the person who has my heart is a dude.

Good looking men with great personalities are a lot more difficult to find than hot women with great personalities though, its tragic, I feel bad for straight girls.

Yeah I got a 6 on that test. As to be expected.

GAY FOR STAY.
