I'm a little peeved about something so...I'm going to do a poll. Now, bear with me, because this is my first time

Lifetime, like I answered, would definitely make me a 3.

If isolated to the last 2 years of my life, I'd be a 2; but presently I'd be pretty much a 1 which is where I'm likely to stay. Impending marriage coupled with the desire/contentment to remain monogamaus pretty much guarantees that 1 rating for the future. ;) I'll never migrate to a complete 0 though, I appreciate the look of the female body too much. ;)

This is actually one of the drawbacks of the Kinsey scale, actually. It is only for history as you perceive it and doesn't take some other factors into account.

It's decent for something like this but not perfect. As your answer attests, sexuality and history are a spectrum, a continuum and change during our lives. That is important, I think.

I'm drawn to both sexes. I've had long relationships with both. More successfully with a man than a woman. By success I don't mean in terms of longevity, more with relating and communicating. While I tend to be more guarded at the beginning of a relationship with a woman, with a man I'm more at ease.

Now I'm curious as to what peeved you enough to do a poll.

I think many men feel that way, although I'm not sure I do. I'm a perfect three and for me, the connection - whether male or female partner - has less to do with their sex and more to do with the way we "click," for wont of a better term. That's me, though. Thinking back on it, one of the most confusing relationships I ever had was with a man.

Oh, and you'll see. Post soon.

I agree that the connection is what makes the relationship, regardless of the person's sex. Without that, can any type of relationship work? Friendship, professional, sexual, loving. They all need a connection. What made it confusing?

I look forward to it.

Um, that's...that's not a public conversation. Seems like I've typed that before to you...*laughs*

Basically, though, the confusion was in not knowing what was wanted and what was needed. Having no closure and not understanding why that was.

I'm someone that really likes to know "why."
