Poll: SCIENCE DEMANDS ANSWER: Who do you have sexytimes with?

[Sightless Wisdom]

I'm always disappointed with the lack of available statistics regarding the actual distribution of sexual preference and gender in the world. I think if we had the real numbers people might just be a little bit less prejudiced towards the "minority" groups.

In any case we're going to have a huge problem with turnout here like these polls always do, so I'll throw in my stats anyway: Bisexual Male.

straight male, I think I am at least, I did fap to a very girly looking guy once, does it still counts as gay even if they really look like girls?

if it does then yay I am bi sexual, if not then ill be straight dude number 733695, reporting in.

Being attracted to androgynous guys is still gay, but once masturbating to a picture of a guy doesn't make you gay. For example I don't particularly favor guys in my porn, but I'm still bisexual.

It's interesting that there's been more gay women so far than straight, though that must just be a fluke, right?

Yup, that's how statistics work. Small sample sizes are easily biased.

@[user]Everyone[/user]: Does anyone have any stats on the number of Escapists? Preferably the active members?

Kross has the statistics, presumably the whole tech team has it, I remember someone once asked them and they answered, so just try asking them nicely, I'm sure they won't mind.

OT: I'm afraid I cannot answer this question, been trying to for around an hour or 2, I just can't answer.

Thankye kindly, I'll ask them. As for bolded, do you mean "are you straight, gay, etc?" because if you really have no clue then "other" should work. If you mean "dunno the population size" then thank you for your help, I'll take it from here.

Hush, I said tech team not mod team ¬_¬
I guess it's complicated-ish, I prefer to think it doesn't exist because I don't really understand it, but since I don't understand it, it intrigues me, hush I know I'm a strange person, not really all there is to it, had bad experiences with that, besides I've never even liked it when people touch it and things like hugs and kisses bother me waaaaaay more than they should, whatever, it's weird.

@[user]Everyone[/user]: Does anyone have any stats on the number of Escapists? Preferably the active members?

Using the Search user function I found 16960 males and 2144 females who have set a gender on their accounts.

EDIT: the search function doesn't work when not putting any queries in though, so I can't get an answer for the people who have not set their gender. (which I assume is a lot)

...Oops, mai bad. Was that a big taboo, or was that still acceptable to do.

As for everything else, I'm sorry that you've had bad experiences with that. I send thee non-huggy comfort and appreciation. You aren't very weird or strange, things just happen.

Danke, I've always had trouble with the Escapists search stuff, lord knows why.

That should be helpful as a rough guesstimate, but I am looking a touch more towards the "total population" side of things. Throwing statistics at the problem and all that.

Regardless, ignore my mutterings! I appreciate the help and the interest, I'm off to bed!

+1 Ace. Voted other because I'm celibate by choice. Just not my cup of tea, but glad to see you guys and gals are having some fun.

I'm not celibate by choice, I'm celibate because I'm so unattractive that no woman would ever want me.

I voted asexual, used to be straight but then I gave up.

 

[FamoFunk]

Straight Female.

Men are pretty cool.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

This is kind of hard to answer. I've never actually had sexy times with anyone, not fully all the way sex times at any rate!

I would probably hazard a guess at straight mostly, although I wouldn't rule out bisexual. But hell, I'm going with asexual because I'm past the age where any of it actually matters to me. Why am I here again?

 

[EeveeElectro]

I seem to find the more alcohol I have the less I care about gender, or I get the confidence to do things with women. I suppose I'm a drunken bisexual XD I prefer men to have sexy times with though.

My manager and I were talking about stuff like this and one of the lads I work with was listening. She said "when a woman licks your nipples, she knows where shes's going" I said "god yes they know how to please other women!" the young lad listening nearly passed out.

 

[MetalMagpie]

Wasn't it that you're techincally straight if 90% of your attractions are of the opposite sex?

Yeah, I'm sure I've heard that somewhere as well. As sexuality doesn't need a legal or medical definition in the UK (and in most sensible countries) it's pretty much down to personal preference how you choose to define the terms homosexual, bisexual, etc.

The OED just says "a person who is sexually attracted to people of their own sex", which (as far as I can work out) is the most "traditional" definition. Terms like "bisexual" are more recent inventions, so "homosexual" used to refer to anyone who was attracted to members of their own gender, even if they were also/primarily attracted to the opposite gender.

James I of England was labelled a homosexual because he was supposedly seen in court "nibbling on young men", but he also had seven children by his wife (and the very first child was a boy, so he wasn't doing it out of obligation to produce an heir). Similarly, in some non-sensible countries, the legal definition of a homosexual is someone who has ever had consensual sexy-times with someone of their own gender.

OT: I'm female and currently have all of my sexy-times with my boyfriend. However, were I single, I would not say no to sexy-times with a nice lady.

:/ I'm gonna hope you're just joshin' around and that you aren't actually attracted to women still like your post maybe implies? (Darn you internet, stop destroying my ability to detect sarcasm and tone)

Straight Male #733696 Reporting in.
Born with a penis, would much rather stick it in a vagina than something on a man.

Captcha: Many Wishes
I'm not sure if I should be worried...

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I'm female and have enjoyed sexytimes with men and women, and are attracted to both equally.

 

[Libra]

Gay male here. I'm sure there aren't that many here, but the escapist commmunity seems fairly pro-gay, so it's cool anyway.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

Bisexual here and uhm I am not very surprised by the results so far .

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I have sexy times with my wife.

I'm a straight male so I like to spend my naked time in the company of my wife who happens to be female (and before some muppet cracks the old "are you sure" joke, we've been together 9 years and she's fired out 5 kids ... i'm pretty sure).

"Fired out" - like a cannon? Damn :| I salute you sir, for having the balls to go back there without fear for personal safety.

Anyway, straight male here. Another one. Woop. Majorities, fight da power!

 

[AlbertoDeSanta]

Another straight male here. I don't know if I am surprised or not by the poll results at the moment.

 

[Beautiful End]

Asexual, I suppose. I'd consider myself homosexual because I feel I was born like that. However, being with a person of the same gender as me sounds awesome but not in my body (Not like I'm gonna do something about it). Being with a person of the opposite gender sounds gross.

So I'm homosexual but I don't practice it. I don't practice anything. So...asexual.
I know, I'm weird.
