Well now, that's a LOAD off my mind, Tamora! Good thing for you the Japanese don't make "monkey-balls sushi"!

Filipinos do...don't they?

So do you mean that you are, or could be sexually attracted to guys but your personality is holding you back?

Exactly. It is my natural personality as a male. Because in my opinion 98% of gay/bisexual humans are made that way. They are not born that way. I have no problem with gay people, in fact I have met great gay people in the porn industry. However, due to my experience socializing with them, the vast majority has had some sort of experience early in their childhood that changed their mind forever. It seems like a brain chemistry thing that changes.

I never had any kind of experience growing up like being being raped, touched, abused, bitten, bullied, nothing. I would consider my childhood extremely happy, peaceful, healthy, with a very strong father figure, a caring mother. I never saw evil of any kind growing up. I didn't know what was a condom until I was 14-15 years old.

A lot of kids don't have the same luck unfortunately.

Oh and by the way, my personality is not "holding me back" lol. That would be a very interesting psychological to study if somebody wanted to do something but a different identity inside says "no don't do it"

If you read the article it directly contradicts it's own title claim! Just a ridiculous ploy to get people to read the article! Plainly states 78% claim to be exclusively heterosexual, 16% question their sexuality, but of that 16% 10% lean more toward hetro, 3% lean more homo, and the remainder can't decide between hetro or homosexuality. NOW, tell me where you can get 1 in 3 identifying as Bisexual from those statistics. It's a complete fabrication in the title.

It is an interesting thread, and I'm not putting down having a conversation like this. But to note the stats from that "study" claim a margin of error of over 4%. Those in the study that actually associated as bi could be negated within that MOE. The study was of only 1,000 adults, of which less than 20% were 18 - 29, less than half under 45.

In essence, useful for a headline, not so great as a solid finding.

That is the complete population. The article is discussing most people from age 18 to 30, if you read the link it has it give the complete break down.

The percentages I posted are just from what I have talked to. I have done this through forums like this one and others. I have just talked to others through personal messages and asked. It just seems to me that a lot of guys do enjoy masturbating with their friends. I know I enjoyed it, but as I stated, it's not something I want to do any longer. But like others have stated here, they do find other guys attractive. When I see what I think is a good looking guy, I never think sexual things that I'd like to try.


I'm mainly just trying to figure myself out here. One thing I have found is if you get talking to guys in a setting where it is more private, most admit they would like to jerk with a friend.

Seems to me that you're confused about your own sexuality to be honest. Nothing wrong with being bi...unless you think you're living a lie.

Agreed, it seems like another case of someone trying to convince society it's ok to be gay and if your not you should consider it.

But what does that headline even mean, really? Considering the study size, the less than candid headline sounds more like advocacy than a report on a sound scientific survey. Hell, I'd probably not pull off 100% heterosexual 'cause I like cooking shows, do clothing projects with my daughter, and have danced naked with men at a nudist resort ( lots of whiskey was involved, and a dare, I swear). But you can't infer from that I've got a thing for dudes, any more than you can infer that of Amercan's young adults, 30% are bi based on the survey results in that study.

I think the article is misleading because it is grouping the people who identify as hetero, yet have had past homosexual experiences, in with the bi- group. That seems to be a contradiction to the common social school of thought. I thought we as a society were trying to move away from the idea that same-sex experimenting defines one's sexuality? It used to be that those who said, "Any guy who sucks a d is gay!", were the people who were ridiculed. This article takes the same sentiment but turns it in favor of bisexuals.

Americans Greatly Overestimate Percent Gay, Lesbian in U.S.

Build a thousand bridges your a bridge builder, suck one dick and your a cock sucker.

If you experiment with other men your not heterosexual, period.

Here's another problem I have with the study. It sweeps those who answer honestly the question of "Have you ever had a same-sex encounter?" into the bi-sexual group. Totally screws the data! Say you are sexually assaulted as a child or adolescent, by an older same sex person (like the priests in the catholic church scandals). You answer the question honestly, yes! Are you bisexual? NO, but that's NOT how the survey interprets your answer, because the second question is never asked! "was the sex consensual or were you a consenting adult when the same-sex act occurred?" HELL NO!
