Ok, so I'm slightly confused...

    Ok, so recently whenever I take for example a Kinsey scale test online or anything, the results come back mostly homosexual or predominantly homosexual. Would that qualify me as gay? Or would I still qualify as bisexual since I still am capable of heterosexual desires and relationships?

    I dunno if I'd put too much faith in those kinds of tests. But taking the results into account and the fact that you are also capable of being attracted to men I guess you could say you're bisexual with a preference for women. Of course, only you can decide what label is right for you.

    That's a definitional question that I don't think is resolved. At some point it's reasonable to round yourself to gay. But hard to say where.

    Do you not think that sexuality is something that can't simply be measured by 10 (or so, forgot how many there were) simple questions?

    Here are a few more opinions:

    As someone pointed out, the results might be different on different days, and on different tests...

    I'd say its like art... you develop your own style, and labels might be just a pointer...

    and there is romantic and sexual attraction... kinsey is sexual attraction...


    I still like your avatar picture very much :slight_smile:
