Let's start with the fact that actual research has shown that women are just as indiscriminatly horny as men. The difference is that women are less likely to pursue those feelings for many reasons (some of which are entirely socially constructed).

Secondly, while a lot of people (maybe most people) do fall somewhere between the extremes (including myself, I'm smack in the middle of the Kinsey scale), there are also a lot of people who are firmly on one end or the other.

Being gay, straight or bisexual are natural and normal variations in the human condition, as morally neutral as having brown or green eyes. And more scientific evidence for this accumulates daily.

Call me strange but I confess to a degree of happiness when the team I am rooting for scores but truth be told it never gave me an erection.

On a related note: I am a fan of the Seattle Seahawks, been watching them since Lincoln was President. Now I am not normally given to superstitious stuff but...... every single time that the Hawks have lost, and I mean EVERY, loss came after a night that I did not get 'lucky' with a Seahawks cheerleader! Strange huh? I've been thinking of contacting the coaching staff about this curious statistic but I suspect they would just laugh at me.

Mon May 21, 2012, 03:55 PM
May 2012

I didn't think i hit the post button on this one. Yes, really.

But, what I was trying to get into is something along these lines--

I'm gay. Never even had a flicker of attraction to girls, except as great friends. I've been hit on by married guys, some of whom get pissed off if I tell them I'm not going to be a party to cheating. I'm not claiming to be irresistible or any kind of catch, and haven't had a date in a couple of years.

The idea of classifying people as one or the other is harmful, as should be obvious. (I should have been gender inclusive in the OP.) Many gay people, myself once included, considered bi a cop-out. The fact of the matter is people should start worrying about their own lives and stay out of others'.

Near the turn of the century, after Magnus Hirschfeld devised the classification, fundies, "doctors," and uptight society types made an industry out of demonizing people, and that industry is thriving now.

The insistence on dividing/demonizing based on something as personal as sex is dangerous to society. yet some have put so much misplaced "pride" in being heterosexual, the problem has become compounded and probably intractable.

A discussion I didn't then and don't now have the energy or intelligence to solve.

So, apologies for the post.
