Mostly Straight, Most of the Time

Few people are 100% anything, so this does not surprise me at all. I think that people are becoming less judgmental and paranoid about sexual orientation, so more are willing to be open about what was once taboo. Good for them.

I think that either 2012 can't come soon enough or there should be a major recall on Adams!

I think it is the male equivalent of what a lot of women are like these days - mostly straight most of the time. I'm completely straight all the time, but these days it feels like I am in the minority.

I thought this was called bi-sexual

I mostly just feel that such people are emotional wrecks.

I had the same reaction after reading through the article twice. I don't understand how people like Dillon (the guy featured in the article) can say that they're attracted to men and women but then reject that they're bisexual. Last time I checked, the definition of bisexuality is "physical and/or romantic attraction to both males and females."

There's nothing in the definition of bisexuality that implies that one is equally attracted to both genders, so for someone to claim that they're "between heterosexual and bisexual" just strikes me as splitting hairs and creating more confusion than necessary.

One of the other things that struck me about this article is that the guys who were interviewed seem to be cases of "have your cake and eat it too." It's still taboo and risky for men to openly identify as bisexual, so rather than do that, these guys claim to be straight with a caveat. The net result is that they get to present an acceptable "straight" image to the world and still get to sleep around with guys.

You can't be "mostly straight most of the time", that doesn't make sense...you either are straight, or you're not. Looking at members of the same sex, and thinking they're good looking, is different than feeling romantic attraction.These guys are only fooling themselves.
