Do you believe in Kinsey Scale theory ??? (Everyone stands on a continuum somewhere in between pure heterosexuality and pure homosexuality...)

I do. :) But I would like to hear your thougths about it.

    No one is actually pure either way. Science shows that people are actually born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes but our cultural imperative to bifurcate everything leads people to believe they're either totally gay or totally straight (sans totally bi).

    I tend to think it's a continuum. I'd call myself a kinsey 5 simply because every now and then there's a woman who prompts me to think "damn, she's hot." The last time that happened, it was Scarlet Johansson in Iron Man 2.

    I think it is more complicated than that. For me it was pretty black and white – I was only going to get it on with another guy. Although I’ve known people who seem more flexible in their sexuality or there were other influences. There does seem to be a line where you have same sex attraction or not. I’ve also met others who sex is about power/control and doesn’t really matter who as long as that dynamic is right.

    There are many women I find attractive or even stunning, but that's more from an aesthetic point of view. A naked women does absolutely nothing for me; it's just another body. But whips of chest hair, a glimpse of a treasure trail or the sight of some well-defined obliques and I'm drooling :tongue:

    That's not to say that for others there is some fluidity and it's be a boring world if everything had an explanation! :wink:
