Where Do You Fall On The Kinsey Scale?

I'm rather fond of it, myself. When tumblr's on its game, it generates some really great stuff.

No problem!
The jargon isn't all that user friendly, as jargon is often wont to be.
But I'll give credit where credit is due, this spectrum approach was revolutionary, and Kinsey's work was amazing.

Ooooh good choice.

He's also a guy that probably won't be able to sit in a chair for a year afterward.

In my case I'm as straight as an arrow.

As mentioned here..

The Kinsey scale is not exactly new.

I'm straight but sometimes I look at kinda out there porn so I'm like, a 1 or something? I dunno. From my incredibly minor awareness and understanding of Kinsey's methods and purposes I think it's more about "what stuff have you done in your lifetime" than "what you into" but I'm not really sure.

Is this by choice then, or you've just not found anyone you're attracted to yet?

By choice. Of course I've thought some girls I met we pretty or nice, and some seemed like they kinda liked me, but I've just been holding out until I meet the right person who shares common interests with me, and accepts me for who I am, issues and all.

I've been kind of freaking out recently that I'll never actually find said person, but there's not much I can do, and I definitely don't want to end up settling and unhappy for the rest of my life. Better to be lonely than to go through stuff like that, I guess.

Nothing wrong at all with waiting. Nothing at all.

I used to feel that way, but it's better to take chances. Make mistakes, go out with people you might not normally hang with. That's life, man!

I would do things to Matt Damon and Zac Efron and not even feel bad.

[Jephael]

To this day I still find Smallville's Tom Welling attractive... and I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to admit that. Wish I was like this 15 years ago when the show was still on.

Yeah, I'm with Nines on this one.
But then, I'm with Dan Savage on these things.

There's no The One, there's only people you're willing to round up to one.

And:

Every relationship will fail, until one doesn't. (and even that one will end eventually.)

Aren't you a ray of sunshine?

I do agree though. You'll have to settle. I think Bojack Horseman said it best.

Bit depressing I know but it's true that everything ends. Appreciate what you have while you have it and try to hold on as long as you can.

To answer the question, I'm heterosexual.

Like the song says, Perfect always takes so long, because it don't exist.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll make sure to keep it all in mind in the future.

I'm a dude, and I'm strictly chickly.

[CyberCubed]

Also didn't people say there's a "third gender" now? And I don't mean transgender, I mean a literal third gender. Like there's people who say, "I neither identify as a man, woman, or transgender....I am the third kind."

[Cryomancer]

Third Gender is also old as hell and not a new thing at all https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender

Now we're asking the real questions.

On another note..

Really? My "crush" in that series is Ukyo Kuonji.

[CyberCubed]

Third gender or third sex is a concept in which individuals are categorized, either by themselves or by society, as neither man nor woman. It also describes a social category present in those societies that recognize three or more genders. The term third is usually understood to mean "other"; some anthropologists and sociologists have described fourth,[1] fifth,[2] and "some"[3] genders.

Can someone explain this to me? I don't get it.

I wouldn't take advice from mrmaczaps. Unless you want to end up a lonely, miserable, psychotic prick.

Let me put it to you this way though: You're not going to be sitting in your rocking chair as an old man and think to yourself "damn, if only I'd had less fun and went on less dates".

Don't have a whole lot to contribute to this conversation, but just wanted to share this silly little meme that's been going around.
