Sexuality is infinitely complex and variable. It's a subject on which many papers have been published, debates have been waged, hypotheses defended, etc etc etc. NO DEBATES HERE, THOUGH. JUST A QUESTION (WHICH I KNOW HAS BEEN POSED BEFORE BUT IT WAS A REALLY LONG TIME AGO):

If you had to put your character on the Kinsey scale (whether you

Six.

Yeah, I know. It's supposedly not really that possible. But if the man isn't interested in sneaking into a stewardess' bedroom, doesn't bat an eye at big monstro jiggly tits bouncing around when every other guy in the courtroom is falling over themselves, thinks perfume is disgusting, has no wish to discuss chicks in bathtubs, refers to the women who apparently like him with a term of distaste and has to have it pointed out to him that they do in the first place, I sincerely doubt heterosexual encounters register anywhere at all on his list of 'yes please'.

And since I don't play him--or at least, this particular account of him--as asexual? Bluffles = six.

[superxgrlfriend]

THOSE ARE VERY CONVINCING ARGUMENTS.

[bluffing_ruffle]

I could have used more than those but I doubt anyone wants me to sit here and make an essay of it when it can be summarized to humorous effect.

[superxgrlfriend]

It's too early for essays, anyway. At least it is on the east coast.

0. Definitely Zero. As in Gene Hunt couldn't get any straighter. He would rather kill himself slowly than be remotely interested in another guy. :|;;

[superxgrlfriend]

IT'S NOT AS IF IT'S IN HIS USERNAME OR ANYTHING LOLOLOL

[notapoof]

LMFAO YEAH TRUE

GENE IS A MAN'S MAN WHO IS TOTALLY MANLY AND MAKES OTHER MEN FEEL INFERIOR BY BEING IN THE SAME ROOM IN TERMS ON MANLINESS.

BETTER STAY AWAY LESS WE WANT TO BE SHOWERED IN TESTOSTERONE.

[hhhhfuckedagain]

How about "moneysexual"? She'll do things for money.

:D

[superxgrlfriend]

I THINK THAT WORKS.

[hhhhfuckedagain]

idk where to put it though

cause she's done a lot of crazy shit for money

like diddling herself with one of Batman'sthe Knight's boomerangs while dressed as Robinthe Squire.

7 - totally fucked.

[pacifisted]

What I think regarding this kid is too damn complex for the present question; unfortunately, this particular scale doesn't allow for recognizing multiple numbers across the table and/or anything terribly complicated all at the same time. I guess if I had to pin him down as something, I could... jeez, I really can't do this with only one number!

/facepalm

Just call him sitting around a 3/4 with heavy tendencies toward X if not actively drawn into something, and we'll let it sit at that.

[superxgrlfriend]

The scale is definitely lacking, especially if your character (or you, really) is someone who views sexuality as something that's fluid/impossible to operationally define. And it really only works for one point in time or multiple points in time without allowing an overall type of analysis.

STILL IT'S ALL I COULD THINK OF AT 8AM WITHOUT BREAKING MY BRAIN WITH SCIENCE.

[pacifisted]

No, hey, you're doing better at 8AM than I am, I assure you!

The scale's got its uses, to be sure; it's definitely a good way to get a fast overall picture when you need an analysis PDQ. And it's a hell of a lot easier than trying to determine the answer from loads and loads of heavy paragraphs and/or having to write them in the first place. My problem is just that I enjoy detailed information far too much, ahaha.

[noelleno]

3/4 is a rather ironic number set to come to a conclusion with ain't it

[agiftedmind]

.. Safeguard would be a three. Mind, I'm basing this off him as a five million year old robot in his robot body.

Not the 13-year old kid, who'd still be a 3. they are all the same anyways! And there's femmes who look like a mech, and mechs who look like a femme -

Umm - Personality based, then body-build based. At least for Safeguard.

[superxgrlfriend]

I should have amended the scale to include a category for robosexual.

[spacetimeguard]

Hahahaha.

YOU KNOW IT'S KIND OF TRUE.
