The 100%, boring hetero posts remined me of this: Bruno is such a great film.

OT: Like Straight Dave my asshole is just for shitting doesn't mean I wouldn't blow a dude. Straight man reporting in.

Do you breathe? I'm sooo into that.

Jokes aside, if you're fun and stimulating in the sack and out of it, I don't give a damn about your chromosomes or what's between your gams. I do tend to swing wildly between kinks and vanilla, though.
And then I always get stuck with jealous partners who get totally nuts because I don't have a "type" they get to focus their paranoia on. FML.

Gay male I guess describes me since nothing in my experience indicates otherwise.

Started out assuming myself asexual in high school, even my attraction to other men was limited (confusion and isolation kind of kill the whole sexual, self-exploration thing). After I got more acquainted...nothing special, I've found queer men of varying types pretty handsome, cute or sexy. So my 'type' is pretty fluid depending on the person. Though I've never dated non-cis men before I don't see why I should limit myself: if I happen to meet diverse but decent guys for friendship, intimacy or more then I'm happy.

I'm a robot, I'm attracted to toasters, PCs and vacuum cleaners, why am I excluded from this list?

In all seriousness I'm pretty indifferent, I'm mostly asexual if only because I'm a romantic and can only see myself with people if there is silly romance involved, the problem is that I'm very antisocial so I mostly avoid people which means the situation has only presented itself once and it was quite wonderful, some of my happiest memories but talking to people is too annoying and I don't really think about sex so I don't feel lonely or particularly care for it.
As for gay/straight/bi, I don't really care, man, woman, space alien mutant lobster, all the same, just as long I like them, same with cis/trans, I don't really care I liked how I looked when I looked like a girl and I like how I look now that I look like a tough guy, probably would be better if I could switch at will as it depends on my mood as to which I feel is more appropriate for me but I'm OK with whatever, I'd be OK being an amorphous blob too.

Bisexual.

Seriously, doesn't everyone on the Escapists already know that? Do I even need to post in these threads anymore?

I quite agree with your analysis of straight guys, but I haven't typically had that issue with lesbians around these parts (East-coast America). I've heard of people having such issues, but mostly people on the West coast. So maybe there's a cultural difference based on location in America, or maybe I've just been weirdly lucky with lesbians.
Not american, swedish. Also known as the capital country of political correctness, the odd part is that the HBTQ-community here is very collectivistic. So people who don't fit in to the relevant norms and expectations are very heavily criticized. Feminine lesbians encounter this problem a lot as people refuse to take them seriously. Bisexuals have it weird because a lot of us "happen to be" bisexual, and thus don't feel to fit into the stereotypes of (for girls) as vegetarian butches who read gender studies. There is a heavy stigma against liking guys too, which makes us some kind of pariah amongst homosexuals. I honestly think I've been unlucky too.

Out of curiousity, I have to ask for something a bit more than that. My hunch is that this has something to do with monogamy and/or fidelity?
Partly, I really don't feel like dealing with possesive people who get jealous over minor things and desires total control over their partners lives. I would prefer someone who is supportive and mature enough to discuss possible problems without resorting to shouting and childish accusations.
The other part is that, well straight guys have a tendency to worry about their manlyness and have strict rules regarding what they are willing to do in the bedroom. Regarding lesbians, everyone I've met has lived up to the stereotype. Similar experiences regarding lesbians. Not to mention being transsexual it gets horribly complicated at times with monosexuals.
Every bisexual guy or girl I've talked to seem more open-minded and willing to experiment more. For example they tend to be more interested to switching things around and are more adaptable.

Sry if it's confusing, brain not working properly atm. I probably can explain better if take the time to structure things properly from the start.

I'm Asexual.

I think I have mentioned this before.

I honestly can not see the appeal in sticking some body parts together and I have never been "turned on" by anything.

Lesbertarian.

Also completely not surprised to see yet another post about sexuality on this forum. I wish it could just get it's own subforum already. ~_~

I'm a straight guy, nothing too interesting here. I'm kind of metrosexual though, seeing as I can be very effeminate. For example, when my now-roommates first met me in res, they thought I was gay.

Straight(ish) although I'm still unsure.
I can find women attractive, even sexually attractive but I'm unsure if I could pursue a relationship with them, and I have partaken in same sex activities before when drunk. Which was probably the down to the drink...
I am about 90% straight though XD Not sure what you'd call it. Bi-curious?

Funny thing is, my mum recently confessed she always thought I would come out because "You always liked Batman and star Trek as a little girl, and you make friends with lots of gay and transgender people."
Yay for ignorance :p

Must say I find the poll results surprising.

I instinctively assumed homosexual would be the 2nd most common by a landslide. Instead there are significantly more bisexuals. I wonder if this accurately represents society in general.

I'm not surprised by the 68% hetero though. I went in assuming 70-75% just from my own experiences with workplaces and 68% is pretty close.

Heterosexual here.
Though I'm willingly single 99% of the time.
If I ever choose to seek out a relationship it'll be with the opposite gender.

Most research points to that.

Bisexual, though have never experienced sex with a man. Hopefully I will one day, seems like quite the experience. But I can say that it's quite pleasant to have more than one gender of attractive human beings to look at.

Bi but it took me 23 years to realize it. I was raised in a rather Christian conservative household. My Mom did not mind so much when I got a boyfriend but my dad did. He still is uneasy if I ever come home because according to him you can not be Bi it no longer has a large effect but still it is there.

Oddly enough the first time I ever slept with a man (Or anyone, and yes at 23) is the only reason I got my only serious Girlfriend or relationship as she found us as a couple adorable. The relationship is over but still the whole thing is interesting to me.
