Polls
25 June 2008 - 11:29am — EggHead
I am surprised that only 3 of us have repsonded to the current poll. I can't imagine that aryone who would come here could be concerned with confidentiality. I didn't originate the poll, but I would like to see the results. Unlike most polls here, there is no choice left out.
Please, just chime in.
I wouldn't mind to have a
I wouldn't mind to have a date with a straight guy, as long as his straightness is more theoretical than real (i.e. he is willing to have some fun).
As for building a relationship with someone with so deeper inner paradoxes (or, in less PC speech, whose mind is so fucked up), I would prefer he go figure things out, have his 10 years of therapy, and then call me back.
No K0 for me
Matti,
No, I don't want a straight man.
In my much younger days, I did have crushes on guys who were straight, but not because they were straight.
Once I learn that a guy I find attractive is straight, that's the end of the attraction.
I don't want a man who has ever been with a woman. I certainly don't want one has been married to one. I suppose I am not secure enough to try to build a relationship with a man who could ever want something I can't offer. The relationship is everything.
I could probably get lots of NSA action here in the heart of DADT-land (world's largest harbor, Navy everywhere), but even though I don't shout "I'm queer" from the rooftops, I don't want to live in fear of my partner's being discovered.
All I know is I like men. I
All I know is I like men. I don't want
to rate me on the scale since I would lie if I say I never fantasized
about women - however, I prefer men by far. I.e. I'm definitely not
bi. As such I like men - doesn't matter if they are gay or straight.
Interesting though, if I had to guess I would fantasies about woman
less than 0.1% of the time – and honestly, I think it is due to
curiosity more than sexual attraction. A good example is
looking at a picture of an attractive man - if I like what I see I
don't care if he is gay or straight 'I would do him'. Obviously if
one want a relationship both men must be gay – duh.
As Matticus mentioned, I fell deeply in
love with a colleague of mine more than a year ago – he was married
and straight – I knew I couldn't have him and accepted it –
hardest thing I ever had to do – fortunately for this list I got a
lot of support and a year later I'm fine – maybe scarred but
stronger now :-)

Another safe choice is for someone else to create a new poll.. (hint)
As you wish... Do you mind if I spice it up? ;-)
You wouldn't go for a K0??

That's interesting .. you've never even had a crush on a straight guy? Whilst at uni (aka college) I had a huge crush on Dirk, a straight guy in my course. I was hopeless at hiding my feelings and he took it better than anyone could hope, becoming good friends.
I must admit .. he wasn't the only one. A straight guy at work happily tagged along as my 'date' once or twice - we both knew where we stood, and it certainly wasn't on the precipice of a sexual encounter.
Knowing I had no chance of any physical involvement in these guys didn't stop me from admiring them longingly. Rather unexpectedly, this brought us closer as friends.
At what point does the attraction stop? When they're unattainable?
I think Priest has some idea of what I'm talking about here

6!

I'll say totally a six haha even in my dreams where famales try to get on I escape and run towards a gargeous chubby hairy man hahaha even in one dream I started a fire so my Computer Theory Female Teacher let me go!
I am not so sure about it.
I am not so sure about it. The Kinsey interview was quite lengthy and the scale is a compilation in a single number of a very complete "anamnesis". I haven't got the time right now to go explore this, but it is an interesting topic to know how he and his pupils actually understood and used the scale in their scholarly work (in opposition to the popular appropriation of the concept).
You're a 6, Dear
SaintCahier,
I'm pretty sure the Kinsey scale is based on actions, not fantasies. A quick check of the Kinsey Institute's website didn't help me clarify that. They talk about history and experience. I really think they are talking about actions. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Now let's get specific, if you dare:
By fantasy, do you me in the abstract, or are you aroused by some females?
I have learned to recognise what straight men find arousing, but it does absolutely nothing for me. Oh, and no, I am not interested in straight men. I want another K6.
On the issue of polls, I suppose the only safe thing to do is always to include a choice for "other."
Good question

Oh, SaintCahier ... you're a delightfully complicated man! Would not #5 be a good fit?
Although, then I'm placing you in a labelled box .. and we so often dislike labels, don't we?
Dang .. and I thought I had this one down pat with all the answers anyone could need!

Create one!

Just a polite reminder to all .. if you have your own poll topic, go ahead and create one
(Click the Poll link on the left and you'll figure it out from there) Sometimes I admit I'm rather lacking in imagination ..
I'll find a way of randomly cycling some of the older polls back through for the entertainment of the newer folk among us.
