Where are you on the gay/straight spectrum?

We can't know what a pure spectrum would look like since no such poll can be taken in the absence of a social and political context. I suspect that the full spectrum of human sexuality would be quite diverse and more evenly distributed if such a pure poll were possible.

This reminds me of a documentary I saw on PBS a few years ago. They were mentioning that the definition of homosexual was different in different cultures and they used Brazil to show just how different it could be. The documentary stated that in Brazil a man could receive oral sex or give anal sex and not consider himself gay. Only the one being "used" as the sex object was gay. They then compared the Brazilian definition with the definition that many in US prisons would use and said it was similar. If that doesn't scream "spectrum" I don't know what does.

You lost me with "Monkey man". Tell me who that is and perhaps I will cop to alleged obsession.

This is HILARIOUS. Seventy percent max out heterosexuality??? Such a virile group!!

I'd love to see a similar poll on a female-populated board. I bet the results would be very different.

On a female board, I'd confess to being a lesbian. Would that count? Besides, you've seen my portrait, how could I vote otherwise?

I agree that this poll was very clever and drove him a very useful point.

Well, one does have 10 choices there, right?

I don't want to kiss, hold hands with, or play with any guys ding-dongs, but I am completely comfortable being around gay men, and would let one cry on my shoulder. I am not interested in intimacy, but I enjoy the social friendship just as much as I do with straight men or women.

So what is my score? Or is this poll meant to exclusively measure sexual appetites?

You're missing the important indicators. Do you like Barbara Streisand? How about Cher? How often do you attend musical theater or ballet? Do you own any penny loafers? Ever cry during a Hallmark commercial?

At 75%, I think it's pretty clear that you're supposed to vote ten if you want to be taken seriously by this lot. Vote any lower at your own peril.

So, while I don't drive a Subaru Outback, I think they're pretty nice cars. Does that drive up my lesbian score? Of course, I hate softball so maybe that evens things out?

Then again, by Goats definition, I must be a lesbian since there is no way danimal, with his three older sisters, could be a real man. I'm so confused!
