Do you agree with the theory that everyone is "a little bit gay"?

I was looking into homosexuality and have come across a few theories that state that everyone is born bisexual but one sexuality wins overall in most cases. If you find someone of the same sex attractive or "good looking" then that is what I am talking about.

Try to be open minded in your responses.

Have you ever commented on the attractiveness of someone of the same sex.
I mean I think I'm straight but I do find some girls 'sexually' attractive but probably a bit more than my friends xD Also the highest watched porn by women is Lesbian so that says a bit :P

Not sure about the male aspect though. Most seem pretty defensive about sexuality.

I don't deny there are attractive people of all sexes, doesn't mean I want to sex them.

I didn't mention sex. I just asked if you find people of the same sex attractive.
You can't be 'a little bit gay', to say that erases the identities of people who are bi, pan etc.

I already said so in my post, but it doesn't make gay.

If we follow that logic, if I found a particular breed of dog attractive, that would make me a disciple of bestiality.

Think this is a good question. I can say I have found a few other men attractive. Not sure if id go as far as to say I was properly sexually attracted to them but the ratio of women to men I find attractive is 99.999\1. Any person who says "I'm 100% straight" is probably gay

No it doesn't. Those people are just more open about their sexuality. I feel that everyone is bisexual from birth and they "give in" to a certain side as they get older. Bi/pan have embraced both sides IMO.

Errrmmm... Sexual orientation is normally about who you have the desire to have a passionate kiss or have some form of sex with. I see loads of people who I know are physically attractive but I have no desire to have sex with.
I think lots more people are bi/pan than current estimations - but I think it is possible to be completely hetero/homosexual.

That is exactly my point. I am not saying "lets all be gay and live in an omnisexual utopia" I just want people to be more open.

There are no 'sides'. And even if there were, there would be far more than two. People are attracted to who they're attracted too. As long as everyone's consenting and of age, society shouldn't give a **** who people are have sex (or not having sex with).

Also, what about people who are ace?

The key word there is "attractive." Asexuality is an example of a sexual orientation who have no desire for sex. I think most a lo of people who have responded this way are insecure about accepting it. You don't have to agree but I hope you think about this and maybe discuss with friends.
tbh it is like saying "everyone fancies their sister a bit".... not true imho

I use the word "side" to help people understand. Heterosexuality could be seen as a state of mind. You don't have to agree. Just being open minded about the subject is all I ask. :smile:

That is what I have found so far. I am just glad the homophobes aren't here yet. I think the problem is insecurity. I like how open you have been.

I think the theory definitely works with women, but men are usually more set to one gender.
