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

[y1fella]

I'm christian and believe Homosexuality is a sin (which can be forgiven) and that all people are sinful (Don't tell me you've never wanted to kill someone) and thus it's not a stretch of the imagination that all people are a little gay. But my opinion differs where I say homosexuality is a learned habit.

 

[tthor]

You cannot be a little homosexual.

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

do you find Marilyn Monroe attractive? then you're a little necrophiliac

but seriously, psychologically, almost nobody is completely straight, and nobody completely gay.

 

[PureChaos]

the majority of people are but there are always exceptions. i'm straight but i wouldn't kick Johnny Depp or Hugh Jackman out of bed

 

[Biosophilogical]

I've always viewed attraction as a combination of scalar social and physical attraction. So, among 'heterosexual' males, they still find men attractive, just never to a sexual extreme[footnote]Unless the person is their soul mate in terms of personality, but that's just an assumption[/footnote], which explains the popularity of attractive people. So the way I see it is, everyone is attracted to both sexes to varying degrees (not being attracted at all counts as a 'degree of attraction' in my books, so those people count too), and it is whether that attraction can be great enough to induce sexual desires that determines someone's sexuality; obviously this means that if you define homosexuality (or bisexuality) as being sexually attracted to someone, then no, everyone is not gay, but if you define it as being attracted to people of a particular gender, then most people are bisexual to some degree, just not always enough to have a sexual intention.

EDIT:

I'm about as sexually attracted to anyone as a rock is to a piece of cheese.

I don't know about that, I've met some pretty libidinous rocks.

Now there's a question I want to ask you: do you consider sexual attraction to simply be a level of physical attraction? And if so, considering people tend to like attractive people, even if not sexually, is it the same kind of attraction, only to a lesser extreme?

EDIT: @Greyfox105: If you agree with my questions, then does that mean you are unable to judge someone based upon their physical appearance except through observation of societal norms? Or are you unable to find someone attractive enough, regardless of how they look, in a sexual manner, but can still find someone attractive to a non-sexual extreme?

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

No, not everyone is homosexual. That would require one person to be sexually attracted to someone of the same physical sex. I'm nonsexual. Now what?
I'm about as sexually attracted to anyone as a rock is to a piece of cheese. So I'm not heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.
I'm just nonsexual.
Although, it doesn't really matter to me if someone calls me homosexual, I just point out their mistake with a blank face.

I believed this before you posted, OP. It has always made sense to me that, if you wanted to express sexuality in the most analytical manner, than it is a graph with pure heterosexuality on one end and pure homosexuality on the other. Yet, no one is on either of those two extremes, but somewhere in the middle. With most, they are mostly one of the other, and with some they are firmly in the middle. And in case you were wondering, I'd say I am mostly heterosexual, to the point where I don't think I will ever have any type of relationship with a man.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Yes... Sexuality is not black and white. But people identify as one extreme because one or the other is much stronger. I'm not saying everyone could "go gay" for someone, I just mean that everyone can feel some form of attraction for a person of the same sex (or opposite sex, if the person identifies as gay) under the right circumstances. Those who are somewhere in the middle of this scale identify as bisexual.

 

[jultub]

You are what you define yourself as. No more, no less. The ones who considers themselves "a little homosexual" are. That's at least my way of seeing it

 

[BrownGaijin]

I have no problem with anyone being gay, but as far as my own preferences, girls make me feel funny inside.

 

[Lieju]

I guess most people are a little bit bi-sexual.

I'm lesbian, but there has been guys I have had crushes on, but not the sexual kind. It kinda stays on that early-teenager "He he, he's so cool"-level.

Pssh. Give in to peer pressure. Bisexuality is SO much cooler.

>.>

Well, it's not like I am completely opposed to the idea of falling for a guy. Just that it has never happened.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

Not really. Porn is about fantasizing, and guys would prefer, for some reason, to imagine that they are... ahem, well endowed.

 

[Juggern4ut20]

Homosexuality
? n
1. a person who is sexually attracted to members of the same sex.

If you are not sexually attracted to members of the same sex, then you are not homosexual. Seems pretty easy to distinguish if you are or not. I do not see where the gray area is on this one.

 

[mooncalf]

I think you can be entirely secure in heterosexuality, I do worry about people who are 'excessively straight', as though somebody might doubt them if they don't actively persecute any preference other than their own....

I thought not, then I was introduced to this man.

 

[CrustyOatmeal]

You cannot be a little homosexual.

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

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

so if a man has sex with his wife and she dies half way through without him knowing does that make him a necrophiliac???

Idk... the corpse of Zooey Deschanel would be pretty tempting...

I kid.

OT: I don't think everyone's a little homosexual, the idea of sex between any 2 people is an arousing idea, despite whether its 2 women, a woman and a man, or 2 men. Just the fact that it's "sex" is appealing enough (not that I would watch 2 men, but I wouldn't turn the channel jk lol).

 

[Asuka Soryu]

The ancient greeks were gay(ish) in sparta it was common practice for men to have sex with the boys they trained as compensation, and it was beleived that this would also harden the spirits of the boys, wich would later become spartan soldiers etc. So if the masters of reason and democracy(not sparta, aristocratic) were Ok with being gay then I don't see why we wouldn't be. Also it kindof strange that americans, who claim to live in a 'free country' are amongst the biggest enemies of same-sex-marriage. I blame religion.

Yes, pedophilia and prostitution as compensation with idiotic belief of sex making your spirit stronger is truely a sign of intelligence, and sophistication we lack now days.

I blame humans.
