"Straight, bi or gay"

MischievousOne: Hey y'all, just thought I'd weigh in for the first time on the board here...

I'm a gay man, and I've seen a lot of discussion about how labels are both important AND unnecessary. I prefer to think of it this way: Labels are important, but you have to be willing to put on a new one if things change. I'm open to the possibility that I might find a woman out there who would make me the happiest man in the world. Does that make me bi? Nah, but I'll consider it if I find her...

josh: i am prob about 80% straight. I know a sexy guy when i see 1 and i like to look at them. MAybe do a little more, but on a relationship term, it would have to be a women coz it wouldnt feel right witha man - even though it might be more fun! :D

fretch: Wow. I'm new to the site, and I guess the reason I'm here at all is my curiosity about the penis itself. I think I'm attracted to it sometimes, but I've never been attracted enough to any man to have a bisexual experience.

I'd definitely say I'm straight. I'm married to a gorgeous woman, and I fantasize about other women, and I've been turned on by women since I was five years old. However, there is something inside of me that wishes I had experimented in my life. Putting aside the fact that I experimented with several other boys in 5th and 6th grade, I've never even come close. The times when guys have come on to me, the idea of being with them was a turn off, and yet the idea that they were attracted to me was a turn on. Am I wierd?

LittleMike: I'm gay - although as a teenager I would have said "bi". I suppose I'm still 'bi' to some degree, although I'd prefer guys.

One thing that always has amazed me is the way straight guys are often interested in dicksize. I've got a fairly good sized package and I've gotten lots of comments from straight guys and it always freaks me out - if they only knew I was gay! No doubt about it, dicksize does seem to affect males in some strong psychological way that seems to transcend sexuality.

roedhunt: I hope this is not just a "MANs" thread...
As for me, I am strictly str8. I did have one experience once with a lesbian when I was 18. Aside from the obvious curiousity regarding women, I had enough men lovers to know that they didn't give a rootie patootie about pleasing a woman. (of course, what teenage boy does?) Did she please me? No. Though she did try. But to me it was very unnatural. Her skin and lips were so soft it made me sick. And there was no way my lips were gonna touch that slimey hole. I still can't believe there are men who enjoy it..But thats another thread... :D
So my curiousity was fulfilled and realized I was a women who loved men and their bodies. So much in fact, I am one of the few women I know that truely enjoys giving head. Have I yet to find a man who honestly loves giving oral sex to me? Nope. But I'm still young.

I have one question to the Bi/str8 men...
Why is such a turn on to see two women? Or is THAT another thread? ;)

tigerwolf: I'm the gayest thing on the face of god's green earth. ^^;

I recall when I was well before the age of 9, I told my Mother, "If I had a lot of money, I would give it to the best looking man I could find". It was years later that I realized what this statement revealed about my future sexuality.

I was raised to think I had to do what was expected of me, regardless of my desires. When I saw her picture in the newspaper, I fell in love with her looks. So awesome! I met her and remained fascinated. After our first date, I told Mom and Dad that we would marry.

The year after getting out of the army, we did. Ten months later wonderful number 1 was born, four years later number 2, and 14 months later, number 3. It would be impossible to imagine any three any better!

Divorce came after 29 yrs. of married life. Of course, I would do it all again for any one of the three, but I can't imagine the pure happiness I might have had with the male love of my life. What's more important my happiness or our three children? Hands down, any one of them is.

I felt this introduction was appropriate for my answer to this thread's question. I am gay.

By your own admission you were married, had sex with women and enjoyed it. That doesn't seem to correlate with the superlative 'gayest'. You may well be gay, but the 'gayest of us are the ones who have always acknowledged our attraction to members of our own sex exclusively. Not that one state of sexuality is inherently better than another, but how can you be the gayest when you didn't even consider yourself to be gay earlier in your adulthood? Some of us have realised it since we were children.
