    I'm reminded of the concept of an open set. In this case, the numbers between 0% and 100%, but excluding the end points. There is no smallest number in the set. 0% is not in the set. But for every number in the set, there are other numbers in the set that are smaller than the given number.

    Don't know how it applies to homosexuality, but ....

    I also agree that the difference between having thoughts and acting on them doesnt make a difference



    Back to the 0,100 thing

    GLBTQI

    Especially when you encounter the I, Intersex, and in person that is, changes your persective....none of these kind of arguments make sense when its a person who they themselves live thier whole life never knowing what sex they are, let alone any doctors, or anyone else

    What exactly is a homosexual or heterosexual thought if you dont know what sex you are

    We use to have an Intersex member here, forget her name, was older, never had sex, always thought no one would want to have sex with her, that kind of negative association over a life time, starting from before puberty, everytime a sexual image or discussion presents itself...well

    And asexual guys, are usually very socially withdrawn, often get mistaken for gay, probably are one of the chromosomal types of intersex, just that its not immediately obvious

    Then theres the whole Westermarck argument, way too much familiarity early on with the opposite sex, I know there are many things I just can not explain to you and anyone else spouting the sexuality is fluid garbage, I'm supposed to have the odd sexual thought about females? Are you kidding me? Especially in regards to the sense of smell, you are not going to accept, not going to be confortable around me anyway once you get a rough idea of what I can smell

    0 and 100 would represent a full percent each, so maybe not 1 in 100

    But 1 in 2000, 4000, 10000

    They do exist

    Quite honestly, I've never met anyone who was as profoundly disgusted by females as you are. You may be exactly 0% straight.

    I sometimes suspect it has to do with jealousy :D Nevertheless I rarely agree with the points VG makes (esp. about groups of people) but I do here.

    I think technically you're right but that's not why I was antfucking on the 0% :p

    If my pupils dilate at the picture of someone being murdered, am I part murderer?
    What if I daydream about killing someone?

    Some girls eg lapdancers/porn shooters/nightclub attention seekers/those who "try it once"/those who did a GG threesome with their boyfriends may have had SOME girl-girl contact, But it doesn't follow that they are "part lesbian/bi". I've hardly ever come across a single girl who would even dream of dating another girl or even show some "bi" contact with a girl outside of a nightclub etc And lots of them, after they tried stuff with a girl once, they felt a)rather dirty or b)couldn't see how anyone could enjoy it.

    The girls I know who have tried bi stuff generally say it was after succumbing to the merciless promotion of bisexuality in society. They actually found the idea of two girls dating and stuff rather disturbing.

    And as for males being "part bi", well thats even bigger garbage. Aside from upper class types/media types, there wouldn't be much more than 1 in 20 who are anything but fully hetero.

    That makes you somewhat different from someone who doesn't do that.

    Lol!

    You really think most girls who tried some bi stuff were disturbed by the thought of it already before they did it? Do you really believe the far majority of those girls did it because they're so gullible that they think they should because society is promoting it so much (even when they're already disturbed by the thought)?? Strange...

    And about the bisexual males: even if it would be, let's say, 1 in 40, how would that make it garbage? It seems you are saying their bisexuality is garbage because there are so less of them? :p How does that make sense.

    I blame the schools.
    They require the kids to carry so many heavy textbooks in those backpacks that it is no wonder so many of them are no longer straight.
    Thankfully there are back braces that can help and with a little therapy those kids can once again stand tall, proud and straight.

    1)Well thats what they say. Are you saying you know them better than they know themselves?
    Girls do what Rihanna, Madonna or whatever opinion formers do. Not all, but some, many even.
    Just like guys might have the haircut/fashion style of some celebrity. Its hardly a revolutionary claim I'm making...

    2)The article is garbage.

    They're telling you what they think you want to hear. For all you know, they may like the taste of pussy better than anything on earth.

    I think there is a certain amount of "Female Bisexuality" that is indulged by attention whores who have figured out they can get free drinks by making out with other chicks at the bar. I kind of get that vibe off Miley Cyrus.

    But then there is also this:

    I like to think of this as.

    If you've only been with a man but have an attraction to women. You're straight.
    If you've been with both sexes. You're bi.
    If women only been with women. They're gay.
    And men with men is gay too.

    I don't feel like just because somebody has an attraction that it should necessarily make them anything. Up until you act on those attractions, then you can move your sexuality slider across to one or the other.

    It's like me, I've only been with women, yet I do hold certain attractive qualities in certain men. But I don't go around calling myself bisexual. It's just a feeling, an attraction. Means nothing to me.

    Article is not credible.

    I have to compromise that I agree that most people are placed on the middle of the spectrum, but I also will acknowledge there are those who know themselves so well that they are at 0/100%, respectively.

    What this debate or conversation lacks is acknowledgement that we have some people who are followers, and others who tend to be more brazen leaders, and this occurs on all ends of the spectrum, not just within the realm of sexuality.

    Also actions that someone does, doesn't necessarily indicate one's will, especially in the context of peer pressure. Other societal examples would be that you do something at work you don't morally want to do, but you do it anyway out of peer pressure or another variables that exert leverage upon you. (one could argue it's a type of rape)

    There's also something like herd-mentality too, and I think a lot of young people get caught up in that too within the framework of sexual exploration.

    Certain people know themselves so well, that they know who they are since birth, others need a bit more time to figure themselves out.
