Have You Ever Been Attracted to the Same Sex?

I think...maybe once. There was a guy I met in college (still good friends with) who I felt like what could only be described as a crush for the first six months. Nothing physical really, just "having a crush" was the only comparable experience I can draw on

Other then that don't think so
 
I mean, there is a friend of mine who we all generally accept as beautiful and we all say we would fuck him although most of us wouldn't really

That's about all I got

Yeah doesn't match up to what I said though. Never accused him of not being straight.

Whatever dude, lol. People and sexuality really isn't comparable with vegetables. There's a lot of female variation too but I still ain't interested. What is with this bizarre insisting that everyone's a little bit bi or whatever?

Nothing against any LGTB people obviously, but no, it never occurs to me. When I see a beautiful woman, it literally takes my breath away. Seeing an attractive guy and I just shrug and think "I wonder how much sex he gets". I also have had women around comment on a man's attractiveness and 99 times out of 100 I don't see it, so to be honest, I don't even know if I can tell.

Everything about the female body is just so inviting and alluring. It screams "touch me". Men are just dudes -- hairy and gross. Blegh! :P

An attractive man can take your breath away if you take his member deep enough in your throat.

I think this is the attitude open minded people should have with sexuality. Sex isn't nearly as big of a deal as people make it out to be. It doesn't change a man overnight no matter who you go with. Why not just try it once?

Because some people already know that they aren't into members of the same gender?

What the hell is with this thread?

Been askin myself the same question. I know I'm into girls. I may say Tom Brady and that one Olympian gymnast are beautiful men, but I don't wanna fuck them.

Some people do know what they are and are not into

If sexual preference is interpreted as a single-axis scale, probabilities are/should be that most are somewhere between the extremes, making those who are exclusively gays or heteros (very) rare. EDIT Assuming the distribution would make something akin to a bell curve. (I'd imagine that if sexuality really can be measure with a simple scale, it is somewhat top-heavy, toward the straight end, but that would still leave a lot of bisexual people.)

Is a person who is even mildly interested outside their usual preference a bi? Some would say yes, some would say it just means they're interested in experimenting or something like that.

Obviously, determining this stuff is hard, since most "80-90%" (or so) straights/gays would just say they're exclusively that, either because they've either met someone unusual they might be attracted to, or are not willing admit they might be interested (cultural reasons, prejudices, whatever).
 
Yeah. Horribly so in fact. I guess I used to identify as straight, but started questioning it the past couple years. At my last job I had THE WORST crush on a really cute guy that sat at the desk across from me. Shit drove me nuts at work.
 
The idea of sucking dick sounds really hot but when I associate it with the face of a man, not so much. There's zero sexual draw to anything else in guys. I'm not at all interested in kissing a man, nor am I attracted to the male physique, even if I acknowledge when it's attractive.

It's only handling a dick, no more.

...maybe it's all the hentai.

The smell of a woman?

You mean pheromones or her perfume?
Click to expand...

Both, but mostly pheromones. Sounds strange but I used to be in love with this girl in high school. I haven't seen her in 10 years or so. I saw her again and gave her a hug and said "You still smell the same". She said that she had recently started using the same fragrance that she used in high school. As I stated, I have nothing against people that like or are attracted to the same sex - my sister is homosexual and I love her to death. I don't want to get into the pheromones smell for fear of getting banned. My wife tells me that I have an unusually astute sense of smell.

For me, I can't view a man in that way.
 
I've found other women attractive but I've never actually been put into a situation where I could see how far I'd be willing to go. I'm the type of person that loves all attention though. I would say that I'm attracted to people who are attracted to me if that makes sense.
 
i feel like a dude can be attractive and i have no qualms about saying a guy has a nice feature but i've never been ''attracted'' to a guy, as in aroused in anyway. i like the female form, i guess
 
I've found guys attractive or can get why someone would be attracted but never wanted to do anything sexually with them. I've had dudes try and pull moves on my junk but it don't work the same way as it would for an attractive female.
 
A better question for me would be, have I ever been attracted to the opposite sex, in this case women.

No, not once.

And not for lack of trying.

This is so interesting to me, because as a gay person who has extremely limited attraction to women, kissing a woman would never seem repulsive to me. In fact, sex with a woman doesn't seem all that displeasing really.

The number of men who are *repulsed* at the thought of even having light sexual contact with someone of the same gender is kind of appalling. I'm not really accusing anyone of anything, it's just that you should analyze why you think it's so gross to touch another guy in that way when that same feeling doesn't really exist for straight women and gay men in regards to other women. Men are just socialized in a way to view each in a very non-sexual manner and I feel like a lot of guys internalize that.

(NSFW story time)
I once hooked up with a guy who identified as straight and he absolutely refused to kiss me. He had no problem whipping out his dick and asking me to go to town, but he couldn't even look at me. In fact, he literally looked in any direction other than where I was. It was so fascinating seeing this guy who wanted to explore his sexual orientation yet he clearly held a lot of homophobic ideas that he literally brought to the bedroom.

You are confusing things. I think it's important to note that sexuality can be graded on a scale. If it were linear, it would have plenty of detours and meandering going from heterosexuality to homosexuality, with bisexuality being right at the middle.

Personally I identify myself as a straight man with few inhibitions who happens to be mad envious of bisexual folks. I can find beauty across the spectrum and I have a drive that could be described as barely sublight, so bisexuality would make me happy as a pig in shit. Not only increases your chances of success, but also allows you to experience sexuality in a more diverse, fuller way. It would be a win-win situation. Alas, while I can tell when a dude is a stud and even admire his body and swagger, the mere notion of sharing sexual intimacy with him makes my brain and genitals to recoil in horror. *I'd honestly want to be able to do dudes*, but my noggin is very clearly telling me "nope, this is not for you".

This is not unlike many gay men who are super comfortable fooling around women, but the mere mental image of a vulva makes them go "NOOOOPE" and kill their mood right there and then.

So while they are many self hating gay men out there like the one you described, it's not always homophobia.

J/K about the short hair... xD or AM I

So tempted to hit the ban button rn.
 
You mean sexually?

No, never. The idea of having sex of with a man is straight up repulsive to me (because of my sexuality, not because I hate gays, mind you)
 
I consider myself straight
but some of those rugged guys appearing in adverts are hella sexy.
Also that guy who cosplayed as disney princesses was plain cute.
 
Nah, never. I tried to watch gay porn once just for being curious and it turned me off right away once I saw 2 guys fondling each other. It took quite some time to flush out the gay porn recommendations by Pornhub though (resorted to delete cache files and cookies).
 
I honestly don't know how people can say they're 100% straight or gay, without having tried things with both genders. I would have identified as fully "gay" a year or so ago, but after a couple of "college experiences", I surprised myself and let's just say I would definitely say I'm more 80% gay. Don't know what label that gives me, labels are dumb

I think bisexual with a same sex/male preference is as pretty okay label.

A large amount of bisexual people have preferences. It's very common.
 
I'm gay, but very rarely I will find a woman attractive. I'm not sure I would do more than make out with her(this used to happen drunkenly on dancefloors in my twenties, much to the amusement/horror of my friends)... But some women have a very "masculine" energy, and I find myself attracted to it on occasion.

I don't see myself ever being in a relationship with such a person, but I'd fool around with her.

I would assume naturally some people just don't/can't get sexually aroused by the image of the opposite sex, regardless what anyone thinks someone who doesn't experiment is "missing out on".

Huh, people disbelieve your attraction to the same sex?
