    I'm with Ronald. I think a person can be straight without wanting sex, and homo without wanting sex.

    Was that a joke, or did you misunderstand? Either way, I laughed, good one

    That's just the threshold, if you are still willing to have sex with a person of the same sex but not do oral I'll still classify as bisexual.

    I don't think so, if you aren't sexually attracted to people of the opposite you aren't hetero"sexual". If you aren't sexually attracted to people of the same sex you aren't homo"sexual". If you aren't sexually attracted to people of both sexes you aren't bi"sexual". Thus is why the marker sexual follows all these different terms.

    You can still think that people of the both sexes look beautiful and attractive, but calling those people bisexual would pretty much be the same thing as saying a person that thinks their pet is beautiful and attractive is sexually attracted to it.

    All I'm saying is that I've been sexually attracted to men before and I've never once wanted to go anywhere near their penises.

    Sadly, I can agree with your statement.

    Why sadly? There isn't anything wrong with that and nothing to be ashamed of there.

    Being sexually attracted to other men. I find it sad for admitting it, but maybe it's not as sad.

    I know what you meant but there is no reason to be sad for admitting it. It's not wrong, it's not unnatural, it's not weird. What is sad is if anyone is ignorant enough to give someone a hard time for admitting such things.

    I get completely demonized when I say that putting your penis in another man's anus isn't natural. It's supposed to be in the vagina. You know, to make babies. What it's intended for.

    That wouldn't mean at all that you are not attracted to females in general. What if you and the lady were both under the legal age of consent, and believe the idea of sexuality is not yet fully comprehensible to the both of you. Or, what if you've met a drunk girl at a party, whom is not promiscuous, but is willing under the influence of alcohol, she has no idea what she is doing. Wouldn't the question of whether or not this is right twirl around in your head before making a decision?

    it really doesn't matter if he is gay or not. thats his business, if he wants to tell then he should be allowed to, if not, then you shouldn't force him. anyways, i think its perfectly ok/normal for guys and girls to "experiment" with someone of the same sex and not be gay.
