So I'm just wondering here but, does anyone else here believe in the fluidity of sexuality? As in, do you see sexuality as non-linear like we are made to believe for most of our lives? I personally do, sexuality isn't gay, straight and bi that's it. In fact I kinda believe that these labels aren't even really true, they are just labels to describe where you lie on the spectrum and that very few people are at the extreme ends of straight and gay. Basically the belief that everyone is just different shades of bi or pan and just label it due to the way we are taught it works.

Repost this to the straight topic and wait for the shitstorm.

I believe sexuality is fluid, but I also believe that there are levels of attraction that turn one from being "Bisexual" to being "Homosexual" or "Heterosexual". I follow the Kindsey scale, the view that sexuality has, in general, 7 steps.

0 = Exclusively heterosexual  (Hetero)
1 = Mostly heterosexual with incidental homosexual attraction(Still call this hetero)
2 = Mostly heterosexual with more than incidental homosexual behavior (I'd call this bisexual)
3 = Equal attraction to same and opposite sex (Bisexual)
4 = Mostly homosexual with more than incidental heterosexual attraction (I'd call this bisexual still)
5 = Homosexual with incidental heterosexual attraction (This I'd classify as homosexual)
6 = Exclusively homosexual.

You can expand this to any arbirtary N-levels, with more levels making your sexual description more accurate, but you're forced to either make your classifications stricter or make new classifications. I actually wrote somewhere in my journal a system with 25 levels xD

Here's the model I posted (The "Hetero/bisexual" and "Homo/bisexual" boundaries basically mean that the boundary exists within these numbers, but is not entirely certain. It's almost personal or situational based)

---Heterosexual------Hetero/bisexual-----------bisexual---------------homo/bisexual----------homosexual------
1 - 2 -  3 -  4 -  5 -  6 -  7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25

Hm, I'm probably a 14 on that scale. I wouldn't be surprised if someone who's firmly gay or het may happen across some person who's not their preferred gender and falls in love. Stuff happens and sometimes fate is weird. But it's probably not common...?

On another note, I find myself having pretty high standards when looking around for potential partners, at least in terms of looks. I hate possibly being shallow, but the kind of traits I'm attracted to in either gender just seem pretty rare  I also feel like I'd have a hard time flirting with, let alone finding, a girl who's sexuality is compatible with me around here. but hey, I'm not in a hurry so I'll be patient and try to do my best ^^' do you guys ever have issues like that?

I think there's a bit of a movement going around that's sort of like, "You shouldn't be attracted to physical traits but emotional traits", but I think that's sort of impossible.]

  For example, I'm not attracted to "bears", that's hairy overweight men. I can still be good friends with bears, there's nothing wrong with that, but I can't find myself physically attracted to them. There are some people on the internet who would say that not finding someone attractive based on their weight is offensive and "fattist", but it's something that I physically can't really control.

People also need to realize mating drive is the reason love even exists. Sexual selection is very heavily influenced by physical traits. Very heavily.

It happens, with results you'd be very disappointed in. People took it as mature adults.

As far as I know, I'm bi. Don't really think about it that much...

Wow, it's almost as if the people over there are mature adults and teens. Whereas over here we have some people who aren't exactly as mature. I bet there'd be a problem if a straight person posted in this thread but when we post in there saying hi they're like "'eeeeey cool. S'up?"
