If I said I'm 99% attracted to the same sex, would I be considered bisexual or gay?

[James Bond]

And 1% to the opposite sex.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Bisexual still.

Homosexuality is absolutely 100%.

Bisexual.
Homosexual is when there's no attraction to the opposite sex at all.

[Luminous]

While there's 1% to the opposite sex you're still bi.

[LouBerry]

Well, I think you are whatever you want to be. If you're 99% gay, then it would probably be easier to say, I'm gay, than Well, I'm mostly gay, but I also can feel attracted to the same sex sometimes. I mean, if it was important, and someone wanted to know or something, then you could explain it. But for the sake of simplicity, I'd do with gay.

[Harley Quinn]

Actually, I'd say you were gay. For every gay person, there is always that 1% and if you don't think so, I'd say you were lying. How can you be bi if you like that 1% that does not make sense, you'd have to be gay with a little straight tendencies or straight crushes. I know for a fact I'm gay, but I still have that 1% of the opposite sex that I would have a relationship with regardless. I think you need to realise that sexuality is not black and white and it can have fluidity.

For simplicity I will say I am gay, but I know that I am bi-curious and won't assume I have not enough capacity for heterosexual activity.

[Misfit]

I think it's however you define yourself, I mean sometimes I'll see a girl and think she pretty attractive but at the end of the day I still see myself as gay.

[teen.jpg]

I'd say that's gay. Bisexual is a lot closer to 50/50 60/40 70/30 even.

[Forsakenbymyself]

I'd say straight, but curious.

[NeuroTiger]

I'd say gay...it's too huge a ratio to be bisexual.

[James Bond]

I'd say straight, but curious.

How? That makes no sense, if I like the same sex 99% yet the opposite 1%, how in the world do you think I'm straight?

[Living For Love]

Don't worry too much about labeling yourself. I would say you're gay because every straight people or gay people feel some kind of attration (1-5%) to the same or opposite sex respectively. If you were bi, you would have 50/50% of attraction or so.

Whoah, no no no no no.

OMG. Sorry. I just got really offended when I heard people saying bi. Just... argh. I hate when people fit others into their own square and potentially incorrect definitions.

I wrestled with this exact problem for a long time. To sum up a long story, I was unknowingly clinging to my heterosexuality, close-minded and unaware until I met the most beautiful woman in the world, the flood gates were opened, and rainbows started pouring like liquid gold. But then I clung to BISEXUALITY because I had and still was attracted to one or two men of a very specific type.

Like it's been said, sexuality is fluid. I agree 100%. Labels are for soup cans, sure. But they're VERY helpful for finding mates! I don't disown labels because they make for easy communication. "Well, you know, I'm... sexual" doesn't tell you a thing. When someone is making an inquiry about your merchandise, it doesn't help the chance of a success if you're vague about your product (sorry I'm making love and sex sound so shallow, but that's how my metaphors are working tonight). They are also very personal, and vary based on the individual. I am gay. I am so gay. Boobs and fanny and long slender legs and... holy fuckballs! But I have a crush on David Tennant. That makes me NO LESS gay than any other gay person, hear me? There is no such thing as "more or less gay." I decided on gay because it is my soup label. Why would you say your soup is "vegetables and noodles" if every now and again, ONE noodle from the chicken noodle soup ends up in your vegetable soup during production? Ninety-nine percent of the time you'll open the can and there will be no noodles. People will be like "What the fuck? This says vegetables and noodles. I got this for the noodles and it's only vegetables."

To be more straightforward, guys have NO chance with me. None. Unless you play a Gallifreyan time lord or are the lead singer in a specific Berlin-based electronic group. Telling people I'm bisexual implies I am willing to date, love, and fuck a guy. This is falsely advertising my vegetable soup.

So yeah. Don't rush to find a label, but a label is for advertising. It doesn't mean you have to fit yourself into a square category because society or even a dictionary says such and such. Because you are noodle soup, doesn't mean you can't add some celery in the future should you feel like it would be a good fit with your broth.

I would go eat some soup right now if it wasn't four in the morning.

But if op on rare occasions sees perfectly normal girls and says "Hey, I could date you, I could have a family with you" even if it's only 1 out of a thousand times, that still makes hin bisexual, if he is comfortable in a label.

Did you copy and paste that? It was originally said by ContinuingToLive, with the same exact wording.

Anyway, I'd say you're gay.

[Zsofia]

That 1% means you like 1 from 100. That's absolutely normal :)

Still, it is not a "vegetables and noodles" soup, if you have 99 peas and 1 spaghetti-o.

"of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward both sexes."

Here, we are lacking a tendency. His tendency would be for the same sex.

"of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex."
