Is there any such thing as exclusive heterosexuality?
 
Or is everyone bisexual to a certain extent (however tiny)?

Probably not the most fitting choice for a morning thread but I work nights so I’m screwed anyway.

Swan 16-10-2020 08:57 AM

I dunno, i mean i can appreciate a good looking bloke, but isn't it whether you'd actually wanna act upon it?

thesheriff443 16-10-2020 08:57 AM

I can consider another man attractive without wanting to sleep with him.

Oliver_W 16-10-2020 09:12 AM

Meh. Experimenting in uni or having a "mancrush" doesn't necessarily mean someone is anything but straight. What's with the need to label everything ?

DouglasS 16-10-2020 09:15 AM

Yes.

It’s ridiculous when lgbt people say everyone is bi. They clearly are not at all... the majority of people have no interest in the same gender


I voted the top description but not a fan of the description it was the only yes option that doesn’t state that everyone is somehow gay/bi without realising it themselves

Jessica. 16-10-2020 09:17 AM

There are more sexualities than just straight, gay and bi. I think our sexualities are personal to us and yeah, some people might teeter between straight and bi or whatever but a lot of people don't.

Smithy 16-10-2020 09:17 AM

No everybody is a little gay

Wizard. 16-10-2020 09:18 AM

You could never say because you don't truly know what people think unless they tell you.

Yes there are married man who are closeted and sleep with guys but that doesn't mean they all do, definitely not. I mean if you're applying this to men then why not woman? Although they're less likely than men to sleep with the same sex (IMO) I definitely don't think all women desire a bit of muff now and again.

Nicky91 16-10-2020 09:18 AM

i am straight, i think i know this because i am more attracted to women

however i can still say if a man looks good

How? :joker:

You either like the same sex, opposite, or both. How can there be more?

What about asexuals? What about people who date non-binary or intersex people?

Asexual are non-sexual, it's like saying crisps are a type of brick.

"non-binary" people are still male or female, and will attract people who are attracted to the sex they actually are. Same with intersex - they still appear to be male or female, and will attract people accordingly .

Did I say only men though?

Nicky91 16-10-2020 09:33 AM

i do not know what asexual, non-binary, intersex is, i don't mean to be rude or anything, just do not understand it

Niamh. 16-10-2020 09:35 AM

Depends what the scale looks like, appreciating that someone is good looking/attractive, I'm sure everyone can do (whether they would admit it or not)

Asexual = not attracted to anyone
Nonbinary = a male or female who thinks he or she is neither
Intersex = hermaphrodite

Elliot 16-10-2020 09:35 AM

Sexuality is extremely fluid and there’s probably one person out there that’s never ever be attracted to a guy but most men have that ONE person or more that they’d ‘turn gay’ for. I wish we lived in a society that didn’t enforce toxic masculinity onto people that they have to downplay their attraction to everyone that isn’t a cis woman. I’m not going to speak on the sexuality of women for obvious reasons but I’ve heard similar things

Or if you want the actual definitions rather than Oliver telling other people how they identify.

Asexuality isn’t about not being attracted to someone, it is not having sexual feelings towards individuals.

Nonbinary is someone who doesn’t identify as either gender, they would use They/Them pronouns.

Intersex is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside.

And completely dismissive of other people’s struggles and discriminatory towards non binary people.

How do you know how others and everyone feels? Surely someone saying they are 100% straight know more than you do about themselves?

This is the same thought processes of when people said to gay people “why are you gay? Why not just marry a woman” and also the “why did you choose to be gay”.

It’s crazy people thinking they know more about others and their feelings than the people themselves

What about it is factually incorrect ?

AnnieK 16-10-2020 09:55 AM

I am straight.....I think certain women are beautiful and I can see the attraction to them but I don't feel sexually attracted to them.

Liam- 16-10-2020 09:56 AM

Of course there is, being able to admit that someone is good looking isn’t a sexual trait, it’s realism, if a man is sat around a dinner table and his girlfriend/wife, friends or sister is talking about a hot guy, them saying something like ‘he is a good looking bloke I’ll give you that’ doesn’t mean there’s a chance he’ll be in a darkroom in a gay club at some point.

I personally think it’s actually very disrespectful to wilfully ignore someone’s sexuality that way, I wouldn’t like it if someone kept telling me that I’m not actually gay, I’m whatever percentage straight, it’s invalidating someone’s truth.

Nothing I say will change your view on the matter so I really don't feel like getting into it. :wavey:

AnnieK 16-10-2020 09:56 AM

I can't select either of the yes items in the poll though as I don't necessarily agree with either

I'm always open to having my mind changed. If you have anything to say I'd be happy to hear it :)

Zizu 16-10-2020 10:04 AM

I can recall a comedy years ago where a guy was flirting with a young woman ... she said that she was lesbian ... that she only ‘liked’ women and immediately the clueless guy said ‘ wow , I’m lesbian as well !’

I wondered if it was Joey in Friends ..

This was my problem also..

It seems all of the answers were going for the same narrative even if the yes answer was disagreeing With that narrative

A bad poll imo

I'm 100 percent heterosexual.

Liam- 16-10-2020 10:13 AM

I might need a doctor because for once, I’m actually somewhat in agreement with Oliver on something, I feel ill
