Except for ya know...
I'm a male and straight. I still feel straight looking at the picture above
The whole gay-straight paradigm is a nonsense anyway. People are not attracted to men or women, they are attracted to masculine or feminine characteristics, and to what degree determines who they prefer to sleep with. Gender is nothing more than a societal construct which imposes roles and attributes on individuals with no respect for those individuals' neurochemistry, upbringing, or learned experience.
Can we use terms like "gay" and "straight" in casual discussion? Sure, but self-identifying with such terms does nothing for our ability to understand ourselves or each other. Ideally, we should raise the level of discussion to a point where such simplifications of complex subjects are no longer necessary.
Now that my pseudo-philosophical rant is out of the way, in the terms of the poll I would be bisexual, in that I have felt attraction towards men. In better terminology, I would state that I am attracted to feminine characteristics, regardless of biological sex.

OK, I'll bite.
I'm male, and am in, and always have been in, heterosexual relationships.
However, I've always admired a certain aesthetic in men, find some attractive, but considering anything carnal repulses me.
Where does that put me?
(not trolling, I really am curious here)

Female and gay. I've never really liked the word lesbian, though. Lesbitian? Or would that just piss off the people on the Isle of Lesbos again?

If thought about sex with another guy is not a turn on then you can't really be bi-curious can you.
At least that puts it under a convenient label. Though now you mention it, not every possible iteration is a bad thought.Sleekgiant said:That would make you heterosexualdeathninja said:

Dammit, I'm confused as Hell now.
