    The third and last of my little series of polls. Sexual orientation.

    The options are the following (following Kinsey's scale... I admire Alfred C. Kinsey):

    0: totally heterosexual
    1: heterosexual, with a slight homosexual tendency
    2: heterosexual, with a more serious homosexual tendency
    3: bisexual
    4: homosexual, with a more serious heterosexual tendency
    5: homosexual, with a slight heterosexual tendency
    6: totally homosexual

    I added, of course, "Not sure"... I know many people here still don't know exactly.

    Here it's a little guide in order to know what to choose:

    0: straight (the same sex isn't sexually attracted to me)
    1: bi-curious
    2: bi but prefer the opposite sex
    3: bi
    4: bi but prefer the same sex
    5: gay, but the opposite sex turns me on a little
    6: gay (the opposite sex isn't sexually attractive at all to me)

    Thanks!

    I'm a 4 right now, but I seem to be shifting down the scale the more comfortable I get with myself, hehe ^^ I've even started wondering if I might actually be gay, and not bi.
     
  3. I'm gonna go with 5. Certain girls(Pink) I do find attractive and even hot(Pink). Like Pink for example :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I chose 6 (totally homosexual), although I'm not completely satisfied with my answer. This will be hard to explain and possibly be confusing.

    There's a traditional look that people find attractive. You know how most heterosexual guys would probably agree that one specific woman is the most attractive in a group? That's what I mean.

    On the other hand, there's a personal preference of what people find attractive because attraction never has a wrong answer. This personal preference can go against that traditional look explained above.

    In women I have always been unable to understand that traditional look. When anybody asks me if I find a girl attractive, I don't know what to say. I try and try to understand that traditional look (in women), but I've never been able to see it.

    However, sometimes I non-sexually admire a woman's appearance, but I think this always correlates with her pose, grace, dress, accessories, etc. In other words, this is my personal preference that I am not sexually attracted to, but I find appealing to view. I suppose it's like a painting.

    Note: I easily know when a guy has the traditional look of being attractive, and I also know when I find a guy sexually attractive who doesn't match that traditional look.

    Does all that make sense?
     
  5. That makes sense to me

    makes sense to me ^^ for me, it's the opposite, which is why it's tricky to explore my homosexual side.

    I chose 4. Most of my life I wanted to believe and lived and acted a 1 or at least 2. Only in the last few years have I really acknowledged being Bi (3). These days I find women less attractive sexually and men more attractive, So I'm going for 4. If I get to a 5 then our marriage is definitely in trouble. in my 40 years of sexual life, I've quite enjoyed sex with either gender. My first years of marriage were full on hetro-sexual in activity. (Straight at last I thought!) Now, I'm not attracted to my wife sexually and I choose not to act on my male attractions and desires. Wow! that's all for now. Perhaps more later at another time.

    I'm probably much the same as Aussie Paul above.

    I'm not married - but I find that, over the years, I have really shifted pretty much from a 3 to a 4...may even be edging from 4 to 5 now...I dunno...

    I'm a 6 - 100% gay. I cannot remember ever having any sort of attraction to the opposite sex.

    That makes total sense. However, I suspect most gay guys can pretty accurately peg a "traditionally beautiful woman" just because we get raised as straight and there's so much emphasis on female beauty in our culture. Like I can totally accurately identify a knock-out of either gender. That doesn't mean I get at all week in the knees over the hot women, however.

    If a girl flashed her boobs at me I wouldn't budge.

    I'd say a 4.5 too. I look at guys and girls, but i only want to be with a girl. I can see myself with a guy (it's he's emo and hot or just extremely hot), but i doubt i could ever feel 'real' in a relationship with one. I just feel 'right' being in a relationship with a girl.:icon_roll :eusa_thin

    And being bi for me just seems to be confused. I just want to be one or the other and i know i'm not striaght.
