I'm not saying everyone is curious enough to go gay or go straight if thats not their natural inclination, but to claim 100% hetero or homo (in word, thought, and deed,) is just unrealistic.
It's unrealistic for YOU to be 100 percent straight not everybody.

I see people get defensive when straight people proclaim their straightness but when gay people do it, no one wants to say anything.

I still stick to what I said, if you claim to be ANYTHING other than 100 percent straight, you are at LEAST bisexual.

Some of you who are offended in this thread, you might need to do a check up on your own sexuality because it seems as if some of you are in DENIAL about what you really are.

And yes, kissing a person of the same sex is NOT straight behavior.

If you kiss a person of the same sex other than a family member you're at LEAST bisexual, given that it's a PASSIONATE KISS.

So just because another straight person is laying down the facts don't try to call us "insecure" as a defense tactic.

Be proud of what you are. There's no need to lie about it on the internet.

If you're really bisexual, then say it.

But when you engage in behavior that's NOT straight, but then say you're a straight person or that 100 percent straight people don't exist, that's just being in DENIAL

Want to go both ways, that is also the choice of the individual.

I sure as hell won't judge someone just because of their sexual prefance, not for me to judge, and i have gay friends. They are still people just like me.


To tell you the truth, if i were gay which i am not, i would not be ashame at all to say i was that is just me, accept me or ciao ciao.

What is to protect, i am striaght always been straight, and won't apologize for being this way, the same way a gay person should not apologize to a single soul.

But i sincerely feel that there are more gay celebrities out there, who have not chosen yet to come out.
It's amazing that only 61 percent of people in this forum identify, myself included as exclusively straight.

Peoples' sexuality is getting more fluid these days.

About 2 out of 5 people in this forum are not exclusively straight.

There are probably tons. But despite it's liberal stereotype, Hollywood is rather anti-gay. Openly gay actors are viewed as unable to take on leading man roles, so it can be a career destroyer. Even people like Tom Cruise and John Travolta are heavily rumored to be gay/bisexual, but have gone through ridiculously elaborate publicity stunts to maintain their leading man images.

They aren't getting more fluid, you're merely seeing more people feeling comfortable with coming out.

Can you really claim this applies to everyone? Some straight guys are just really secure and affectionate. My straight friend at work hugs me, kisses me on the cheek/lips, we've held hands before, tells me he loves me, etc. But he's married and obsessed with woman to the point of addiction.

The reality may be different for the sexes .... while there may be such a thing as unicorns and bi-sexual females, males are a different story. A true heterosexual male has not even a slight curiosity about other males. The very notion is repugnant to the straight male.

Since we know that there have been countless gay men married to women and have had children, that itself is not real evidence of heterosexuality.

On the other hand, straight men do not kiss other men on the lips, unless they are 5 years old and kissing their father or grand dad.

And 38 of the responants so far

"No one is 100%."

I'll go with you on this but someone who 95-99% is probably not going to explore their other side.

thou protest too much

seems if anyone is unaware of their feelings, its you!

again, its pretty much impossible that any rational, sentient being is 100% anything when it comes to feelings, emotions, etc. it certainly is true that a person is 100% one way or another when it comes to actions or deeds, but not with more nebulous, amorphous criteria such as psychiatry, or the sub conscience etc.

going by Freud the majority of human behavior is in some way sexual. think about what we straight men do when coming into contact with other men, at least in the sub conscience or ID. the first thing is to 'size up' the other male in terms of competition. this behavior on some level is a sexual behavior, in that we're imagining how females (particularly ones that we are involved with) would view this other male and thus what competition this other male is to us. and thats just an initial scratching of the surface. certainly you've come across a male that had some attribute that you admired and wish you had; that is unless you think you're perfect, and given your condescending tone you very well may be that much mislead. that is even more entrenched sexual behavior...

so please get over yourself!
