Not to mention the wallpaper on his computer

I believe in the greyness of sexuality.

While I identify myself as being heterosexual, I could see myself falling in love with a woman, or at least I couldn't imagine turning myself off from the possibilities.

I'm silly, though, and haven't seen the movie yet. Perhaps it will be a jaunt for today, if I can find somewhere local to catch it.

Kinsey
 
Kinsey did some fascinating stuff. According to his theory, though, he'd class me as straight, when I am most assuredly not. Just lately haven't had anything going on with chickies. Maybe I'm just a bit gunshy - DP, you know who was most recently in my life. :: shudder::

Not a happy thing. She acted like I was the greatest thing and then out of the blue I because a horrible bug that needed to either crawl back under a rock or be squished. Yeah, thanks. I know it's her problem not mine but it's still unpleasant.

I have retreated from the gay community. Part of it is lack of energy. Part is I'm tired of getting nasty looks when they see my wedding rings. Part is I'm feeling unattractive- who'd possibly want me? Part is that I can't really bring her back to my home, and sex in the back seat just seems so... something. I don't know, but I just really don't want to go there. So I don't have much to offer at this point. So I have pulled back.

Honestly, behavior is only one factor. Sure, it's more visible than feelings or fantasies, but it certainly doesn't tell the whole story.

**hugs**

I don't think that Kinsey's point was that we are all intrinsically bisexual, but rather, that there are different shades of that gray. I think that there are probably just as many 0s and 6s out there as there are 1s through 5s.

I always thought I was about a 1. I love gender studies and seeing gender lines crossed. I think women are terrifically attractive; watching "Secretary" I'll be equally turned on by Spader and Gyllenhaal. I freely admit that boobs are cool. But if Kinsey's judging only on behavior and not identification... I guess I'd have to place myself at a 0 or an 0.5. When it comes down to it, although I register attraction, I simply haven't ever fallen in love with a woman or felt the same yearning I have felt for men. Still, I wouldn't rule it out. If the man I'm in love with was, hypothetically, a woman, I think I'd probably swing that way.

As for the film, I saw Kinsey soonafter it came out, and though I found it intellectually stimulating, I didn't feel as much emotional resonance as I wanted from it.

as for the kinsey scale, without knowing too much in depth about it, I could see myself as a 3...
I know I am not a 1 or 6...

I've bought the "varying degrees of bisexuality" argument from the very beginnings of my accepting of my own gayness. I like guys, I've been with girls. If I was required to repopulate the planet, I could. But I like guys. The only combo that doesn't actually float my boat is girls with girls.
Oh, I haven't seen the movie.

Funny...when you put the wallpaper on my computer...reports are that it took you less than 10 seconds to find the images you wanted. Frequent the gay porn sites a bit much?

Seamoney - Ass hats are totally not gay....Most of the guys that did them are typical midwest homophobes.
