Poll: Is Everyone Homosexual? (At least a little...?)

[binvjoh]

Wouldn't that mean you're a little bisexual? Unless asexual to begin with.

While I haven't to this day, I'm still open to the possibility that I'll encounter a man whom I find sexually attractive.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

honestly i can see where people are coming from, maybe u can be little, lets say metrosexual, but a little gay i dont think so, u either sleep with opposite sex, same sex, or both, personally im straight and i have no problem with other people being gay and having gay relations, however i wouldnt want to know about it, it does make me feel a little uneasy seeing two men or two women kissing.

 

[Talshere]

You cannot be a little homosexual.

That's like asking if you're a little necrophiliac.

The way I always looked at this, after a fair bit of thought, is that if you are able to rate a person on how they look, then you have a physical attraction. You must do, because if you didnt, they would all look the same and so you would be unable to rate them.

So every time a guy says, "I see why she like him", thats him making a judgement on that guy. Even if he himself would never act or have it even occur to him to act on it.

To this end I beileve everyone is, as you put it, a little gay.

saying you cant be a bit homosexual is like saying its impossible to be bisexual

 

[BENZOOKA]

Couldn't disagree more with OP.

Did you happen to know that the very homophobic do actually think about gay stuff more than an average straight male. So actually taking an example from a homophobic is not the opposite of a gay. Actually they are quite close each other. And a phobia is an irrational fear of something. Anatadaephobia is a fear of ducks watching you. I wouldn't actually go about and seriously ask one about ducks and base a theory on that, would I.

the definition of homosexual is "of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex" so im gonna say no. straight people dont have a desire to make sex at another person of thier gender.

Well that all depends on how long she's been dead.

OH SNAP!

OT: I'm not homosexual in any way, would never consider being in a sexual or emotional relationship with another man, but I can appreciate the beauty of the humans physical form, be it a man or a woman. An attractive man is attractive just as much as an attractive woman is attractive, but I wouldn't say that this makes me a "little homosexual". It's appreciation of the human form on a fundamentally different level than wanting to be in a relationship with my own sex.

 

[Iron Mal]

While everyone can posess a certain degree of appreciation for the male and female anatomy (to varying degrees on either side) I wouldn't go so far as to say that this makes everyone a little bit gay (otherwise the opposite rings true that everyone is a little bit hetrosexual).

The way I see it, homosexuality is posessing a sexual or romantic interest in people of the same sex (in short, you either want to fuck them or watch the sunset together). Just being able to acknowledge that someone of the same sex is attractive does not make you gay (just as saying that you like how someone looks doesn't automatically mean you want to date them).

People are straight.

People are gay.

People are bi.

People are asexual.

Of the ones above, bisexuality is the only one that includes a 'mix and match' or 'hybrid' of sexuality.

'Is everyone homosexual?'. No, they are not.

 

[General BrEeZy]

yes, "everyone has a little gay in them..."
thats quoted from my old psychology teacher, and i beleive every word of it.
everyone knows attractability of the same sex to some degree, but not all of them act on and reflect on it and become homosexual to any real degree.

QED

 

[Sandernista]

Every adolescent is at least a little bi, after puberty who knows

 

[Ampersand]

I like to think so, I mean i'm pretty straight but i still think David Tennant is a fox. That being said i still don't want a piece but i'd certainly hug him if presented with the opportunity. ^_^

 

[Cheesebob]

No. Men check out men and women check out women. Thats not gay, thats nature. We are always interested in how the same gender look etc

 

[Okysho]

good story and good points (I personally am not as bit of a fan of porn with other guys just for the record) but:

my girlfriend is completely bisexual, that's about it... there's no "more hetero/homosexual" when it comes down to it. If you think both guys and girls are hot and would hit either, you can't say "weeeeeellll I kinda wanna hit the guuy more" (assuming they have the same hotness... if that made any sense...)

that being said... I don't know about guys (who draw dicks on the wall all the time and watch porn about guys with huge dicks etc.) I've wondered about their orientations too. or maybe they're just immature.... fuck I dunno...

but from my experiences, I can tell you that every girl has the potential to be lesbian. I've seen girl go from straight to pure lesbian over the course of... well you know. This is due to the fact that girls communicate more openly with girls, girls know a girls body better etc. so when it comes down to sex, who's gonna make them feel better? the one with more pussy experience.

in saying this, I take it upon myself to try and study how to please my girlfriend, about what places might turn her on more, but that's a different story (though general knowledge I think guys ought to start looking into, if they haven't... competition and all that)

Do I think everyone is a little gay? No not really when it comes to guys. I know I might throw a wrench into things but that also depends on what you classify as hermaphrodites. Having been around the internet, it's apparent that people are attracted to them. Why is this? you know? I'll leave that one on the table for debate.

 

[RebelRising]

Your anecdote doesn't quite hold up on its own, but I definitely agree with your point, insofar that most normal people are able to appreciate both the male and female forms.

In fact, I think there's a study around that showed that the vast majority of people are actually bisexual to some degree, with completely heterosexual or homosexual people decidedly in the minority. I'll try to find it.

Yeah, I'd genuinely like to see that study.
Post it in here and I'd be forever grateful. =)

It's actually the infamous Kinsey scale; there's been a lot of fuss over his inclusion of prison inmates overly affecting the homosexual percentage, but it seems that the middle segment holds up pretty well. In case you don't know, Kinsey was the controversial scientist who conducted a long-term study of human sexuality, partaking in a lot of the experiments himself, filming others doing the nasty, factoring in fetishes, etc.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Homosexual means you prefer sex with the same gender as yourself.

You cannot be a little preferring sex with the same gender as yourself.

It's common sense.

Also, bisexual means an equal desire for sex with both genders, not a little of one or the other.

The problem with this thread (as far as I can tell), is that the OP used homosexual in a non-explicit sense (in other words, he misused it) to mean that they can be attracted on some physical level to people of the same sex, but not necessarily get to the point of wanting to actively engage in sexual intercourse with those people.

OT: So yeah, if I take the non-explicit meaning, then yes-but-no (the but-no is for the rare asexuals and pure heterosexuals), in that, heterosexuals are able to find members of the same gender physically attractive, and it makes sense in an evolutionary sense, as being able to have a limited insight into the heterosexual perspective of the opposite gender would allow you to associate with the more attractive members of your gender, increasing your chances of getting his or her 'undesired' mates.
