is it possible to be 100% gay or 100% straight?

Question

I dont think it is. I think everyone exists somewhere on a sliding spectrum between gay and straight.
I think most people who identify as "straight" are probably somwhere between 90-99% straight.
If you're 50% then you're perfectly bisexual. But I think most people who identify as bi probably aren't exactly 50%. They're probably 40% one way or 60% the other. You could be bi-curious and be 75% straight.

Who agrees with me?

Answer 1

I almost agree with you. I do believe though that it is possible to be 100%, but that it is simply rare. Like the Bell curve, there are some who exist at the extremes.

Answer 2

I'm bisexual, but I always hated people who say 'Everyone's a little bit bisexual' or something like that. I think it stems from our (we bisexuals) doing something we really shouldn't be doing: extrapolating our feelings onto everyone else. Straight and gay people already do it to us, making us invisible by saying we don't exist, that we only really like one or the other because that's all they can understand. And yet, probably in a misguided attempt to gain some power and visibility, we claim that everyone else feels that way, too, to some extent, and just denies it or doesn't know it.

A lot of people are probably not 100% straight or gay- I think the majority of people have been curious, experimented, or would be open in very specific circumstances. But I adamantly believe there are people who are 100% one way or the other.

Answer 3

What are you doing here averaging for a test or something, 100% here 50% there but probably really 40% to 60%.
So we have As and Fs and low Ds and now looking for a curve so to average grades for all!

You have your desires and I think you in fact are trying to come to terms with were you are by justifying percentages of everyone else.
I am gay 100% gay I have never met a straight or gay person that ever considered themselves 90% or maybe 87% of gay or straight.
It seems as though you are trying to establish a "normal amount of both hetero, bi and homo sex" , there is no normal no homo, hetero or bi.
Some people want or require sex every day or numerous times a day others can go days, weeks, months, years.............So what does that do to your average percentage theory.
It doesn't work that way yours and everyone else desires are what they are and how often with whom...................period.
Just try and keep it simple ....................
It's no where near as difficult if you do.

Answer 4

I definitely agree, more-so with women as they are more inclined to "slide" as you put it then men.

I could be wrong about men though. Maybe more men than we think wonder or fantasize about other men or actually have experiences and just don't talk about it like women do.

I'm straight and have had a couple experiences with other women. I wouldn't identify myself as bi so I fit perfectly into your theory that I'm not 100% straight.

Anyways, I believe your theory is right on.

Answer 5

Yeah, Definitely, No one can be 100% straight, or 100% gay, Everyone has to be attracted to someone of the opposite sexuality, like a straight guy(or girl) has to be attracted to at least one gay guy(or girl), or even if the other man(or woman) isn't gay, maybe because he(she) is nice, or just 'pretty' or some other reason. I suppose its not that weird if a gay man or woman is attracted to a straight woman or man. So, yes I agree with you 100% its an extremely plausible hypothesis. :-)

Answer 6

Of course it's possible to be 100 % gay or straight. I agree with the sliding scale, too, and further see as dynamic: each person moves on the scale throughout there lives. It is possible to remain at an extreme end of the scale for many years, even decades.

Answer 7

Bi curious is not the same thing as bisexual. Bisexuality is a sexual response to both genders, there's nothing curious about it. I believe that we are born bisexual and many people have strong biological preferences to same or opposite genders. However a good percentage of us are simply bisexual.

Answer 8

i think we are all born bisexual and we choose to be gay or straight
i say that as we all get confused at some time
if we say we do not normally we are lieing to our self's
some of us do choose to be completely gay and never sleep with the opposite sex
and some choose to be completely straight and never act upon feeling toward the same sex
we are all different
but we all know we question our own truth
i think that choice should be yours to make
there are many things that homosexuality can do for you
opening your eyes to see every one is different
as well as there is a lot of good things to look at being a straight person lie family and children
of course i am not saying that homosexuals don't have children and can not have families but t is far less likely for it to happen
this is a right we should all have to been one's self and marry if one chooses

Answer 9

Modern research proves that you are absolutely right. Over 70% of the human population is technically "bi" to one degree or another. This does not mean that millions of people (especially males) are not neurotically in denial about this, however.

Answer 10

I think it possible, just uncommon.

I identify as bisexual, with about a 60/40 (favoring the opposite sex).
