Kinsey

I'm a big old 6. No surprise there. Always have been a lesbian, it just took me til I was 36 to accept it and react upon it.

 

I've taken a few and got a 3 most times, but I did get a 2 once.

 

In the past I scored 5 on quite a few occasions... Each time feeling somewhat uncomfortable, if disappointed...

Today..."6"... Exclusively Homosexual. I looked as the score appeared, smiled, wow, that's true. Having now left 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 behind.... the past is gone. All things change. Sometimes we need permission, confirmation of what we know.

0 Exclusively heterosexual.
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual.
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual.
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual.
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual.
6 Exclusively homosexual.
X Non-sexual.
F The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.

 

Quite a lot that I've met are accepting. In general, biphobic people are diverse so yeah.

 

I had an interesting experience last week. A member of the LGBT choir kindly gave me a lift home. I felt safe with her for some reason, so when she asked I told her my story. I even said I'm genuinely not sure whether I'm bisexual or a lesbian and that on balance my current assessment is probably bisexual, feeling like leaning towards women. She said that lots of women in the choir who refer to themselves as lesbian are really bisexual. Though her own partner is a woman the partner has two grown-up children and has been married to a man. In addition, she shared with me that she had had two fairly short relationships with men in her thirties, but that she found it easier to connect emotionally with women and have genuine intimacy with a woman.

Her point - many people are not 100 percent heterosexual or homosexual - but somewhere in between. But they prefer to present themselves to the world as black and white in their sexual preferences. I guess you'd call it bi-erasure. Bisexuals get a bad press, don't they? :-(

 

Well said.... we are I feel in many ways on a spectrum, we may at a point in time - a period - more one side than the other, or more somewhere to the middle, but like everything it is our nature to change. In many ways bi-sexual is likely far more prevalent in society than society would have us believe - for the myriad cultural and belief systems that abound. I for one have travelled a not dissimilar journey to your friend, and now it seems what was hidden away as a boy, comes gently and with older years welcomed into my present. Maybe it is that we feel safer when we can name something, give it a fixed position, whereas bi-sexual throws people a curveball... the lesson maybe is how to take the catch, but not to hang on, for its a journey not a fixed destination. PS: always loved the story of Peter Pan.

 

I find women attractive and there are times that I have gotten sexually aroused by them. But in intensity of feeling and emotion is nothing compared to what I feel about men.I can literally bring myself close to orgasm just thinking about being with a hot guy.
For this reason I choose to identify as exclusively gay. I have had girlfriends and liked them and had enjoyable sex but a heterosexual relationship would never bring me the intensity of feeling, intimacy and sexual satisfaction that I would have with a man.
Also, as I have accepted myself my interest in woman has almost completely faded. so identifying as gay and using that to filter who I want to have a relationship with makes a lot more sense.

 

Kinsey puts me at 5 and Klein at 4.5 which is pretty spot on
I prefer a dominant male partner in a committed relationship but love social interaction with females too.

 

7,000,000,000 shades of gay...

 

"fellow h

"fellow human beings...all of us"

 

I got a 4.5 only took it once. Then I read it opposite of what it said. When I reread it I was like wait what lol. Now I feel it could be pretty accurate.
