My sister was telling me about this. She had read it in glamour. I personally somewhat agree with this. I don't think anyone is totally not attracted to a certain gender and it's only social expectations that is why not everyone is considered bi.
Most people are 100% Heterosexual

Dunno, seems like an equality statement to me. Then again I doubt we'd get the truth from most people anyway

I don't know really, do they have some sort of evidence or reasoning to back it up at all? I would have thought that alot of people are 100% heterosexual.

To be 100% hetrosexual you would have to not be attracted to a single one of the 3 billion men in the world, impossible.

I've heard a fair few folk say this over the years, and I'm not sure I agree. Using this logic then nobody would be 100% homosexual either. And I can't speak for any straight guys or girls but I'm pretty sure I am 100% homosexual. Lol.

What do you mean by not 100% straight though?, I mean there's a difference between thinking someone of the same sex is attractive and actually wanting to sleep with them.

I think there is an element of truth in the statement. What amazes me is that it has been taken from Glamour magazine. Surely the only time - ever - that a statement in Glamour magazine has stimulated any kind of debate that wasn't based on lip gloss, shoes or celebrities.

is there?
As a gay man I think this statement is ridiculous and can say that I am 100% gay. Yes, I find a lot of women attractive, I can appreciate how beautiful some females are, but do I want to sleep with them? No. And I think that's exactly the same with the majority of heterosexual men and women. Like InOne said, it just seems to be an equality statement just to try and make everybody think that we're all 'not so different from each other,' but who the **** cares if we do have different tastes?

That's the thing with this it's undiscoverble. But it depends how sexuality is controlled, in the body whether it's hormones, enviromental or just random. but I think sexuality may be a grey scale rather than black and White.

:laugh:
It's a hard one to judge, but it would also mean that no homosexual person is 100% homosexual. I can find women attractive, but I would never sleep with them.

Yeah, that's what I mean. The person can be attractive but I have no desire to go *excuse the term* muff diving, no matter who it's attached to:laugh:
Maybe that's what's meant by not 100% -sexual either way, like the act of recognition of someone being attractive despite not being attracted to them? IDK, otherwise I think it's a pile of nonsense.

I agree with the statement. I think we're conditioned to think we're 100% one way or another.
How do you explain people who 'turn' gay or 'turn' straight. It doesn't happen though. I'd imagine there's a small margin of difference maybe 99% gay/straight.

I don't get this whole sleeping with thing though.
Obviously that's a big part but I mean last time I checked a relationship wasn't all about sex. Personally I would consider myself to be 100% straight because it's very hard to ever imagine myself with another man but you don't have to want to sleep with someone.
Sounds soppy but you could just "love" a person. After all, about 20 years ago we'd've all been considered "sluts" for wanting sex before marriage. :')

Yes, I love lots of girls, they're called my friends. Having sex or wanting to have sex with men is what makes me hetrosexual and not asexual imo

Well i've never had the urge to shag another guy or even found one attractive so i'd say i am 100% Hetrosexual

I don't really agree with that I think because, like Ben said, it would mean that no homosexual is 100% homosexual, and I know that its pretty much impossible for me to find a woman sexually attractive. :/

I don't think attraction is an absolute science, I think people can be overwhelmingly gay or straight but I don't think anyone is totally either.

I agree with you. You cannot put any human feeling and desire in %.
How hungry are you now? 15%? 34% 89%? Silly.
Everyone have a sexual ID that's individual to them. I like hairy daddies with tattoos however I do not remotely fancy asian men. I have a friend who like the opposite.

I don't agree with the statement.
Yeah, I could distinguish an ugly man from a good looking man but, in the words of Ali G, "I'd never feel comfortable being bummed by a man or even bumming a man.".

:joker::joker:
While I might not have put it quite like this, I agree completely. It's not something you can quantify in percentages. I don't fancy women. Never have, never will. Wish I could express myself as clearly as Ali G, though :joker:

"How hungry are you" and "How gay are you" are two very different questions

I don't see how since my sister said a sentence like: did you know....
Means she had a point to argue. I don't necessarily believe this just thought it would be interested to have others opinions on as I know there is a wide range of people with different sexualitys on here.
"How hungry are you" and "How gay are you" are two very different questions
Of course the questions are different. But percentages based on how hungry/gay/tired/comfortable/good looking/happy are useless. My point.

Utter rubbish...I can tell you with 1 million percent certainty there is no male in the world that I would find sexually attractive...Present past or future.
A hetrosexual is just that.....Any male claiming to be hetrosexual and yet can fancy a male is instead bisexual.....
I just don't know why some totaly ignorant jack assess make up these idiotic claims when it comes to sexuality.....Sounds like the typical garbage you would get from a psycho babble freak.
