What's your favorite way to measure your sexuality?

I just label myself bisexual because that is what I consider myself to be.

 

I label myself as queer, but if anyone asked me to be more specific I'd use a percentage. What that percentage is will probably change depending on the circumstances.

 

I use bisexual just because it acknowledges my attraction for men and women but frees me up a bit from my crazy over-analysing mind that would get way too worked up about percentages and splitting different types of attraction. Whenever I think too much about this stuff I can just be like "I like both, it doesn't matter to what degree or in what way - I'm bi and that's fine and that is all the identity I need". And its a term you can use with most people without having to explain your deepest feelings to them.

 

Reality is my favorite way to measure it.
I just call myself bi and keep an open mind.

 

I like the way you do it, it actually does make so much sense! I use bisexual because, well at first I didn't feel like any label fitted me, but then I wanted to use bisexual as a term for if other people ask me what my sexuality is. Before I used bisexual I actually had fun just saying "I don't know" and confusing those around me, but when I started college people had a problem with that and it was just easier to adopt a simpler label for those people, but then I got into the habit of thinking of myself as bisexual.

 

I use bisexual, sometimes queer. Percentages don't quite work for me, mostly because I'm not sure what percentage I would give to nonbinary people. If it were just men/women it would be easier And classifying myself as a certain percent straight and a certain percent gay isn't how I see my orientation. I'm not at all straight. I'm 100% bisexual.

I used to call myself biromantic heterosexual but I'm not sure it fits anymore, and regardless, it's too much of a hassle and I don't particularly care about the distinction. People don't care who I'm sleep with; they want to know who I'm going to date. I'm going to date people of pretty much any gender, so the heterosexual part isn't important (if it's even accurate).

 

I usually just say that I'm mostly into women. That way, I don't have to come up with a label that is in relation to my own gender: I can just say who I'm attracted to.

 

Separated labels, Biromantic Homosexual

 

I use the numbers that add to 100%, but the numbers I have frequently change.

No matter the situation though, I am gay gay gay. I just use the numbers if someone starts to ask things like, "So you wouldn't ever do it with a girl?"

 

For regular not-really-close-to-me people, when they ask, I say bisexual cause it's easy to understand and they get the basic idea. For close friends and stuff, when they want to understand it a little bit better I explain the whole pansexual stuff cause that's closer to how I really feel but if I'm thinking about it just for myself I'd say not straight, cause honestly labels make me kind of uncomfortable, feels like simplifying something as complex as my sexuality into something very open to interpretation. Like when using the word ''bisexual'' people might get a lot of ideas about me based on stereotypes that dont fit me in any way, same for the rest of labels. So in the end I guess not straight is the most fitting c:

 

My sexuality is a bit fluid in terms of me being attracted to the opposite sex. Sometimes I can imagine myself being with a girl in a relationship, and other days, it's almost an impossibility. But no matter what the numbers are, I will always want to have sex with men. That's what makes me gay. I don't ever fantasize about women - the idea is just pleasing sometimes... it could be my internalized homophobia coming out.

90-10, 80-20 seems to be the more common numbers.

 

I say "bisexual" or Kinsey 3.

 

I use bisexual when discussing it, but consider myself pansexual/queer. I couldn't figure out percentages if I wanted to! I don't have different romantic/sexual attractions, so there's no differentiating there, either.

 

I go with "gay," if someone wants me to elaborate: 90% gay, or if they know the Kinsey scale, I say 5.

 

I just say I'm gay/lesbian, usually. My orientation isn't particularly flexible, so that pretty much covers it.

 

I guess separate romantic and sexual orientations, because it just feels the most accurate for me.
