alright I seemed to have gotten jumped on for my statement.
The reasons i'm saying ovenall has bisexual tendancies (which he says so himself) are:
1. Same gender sexual fantasy
2. Implied by the words "Urge" and "fantasy" I thought that this act turns Ovenall on.
3. Willingness to act upon said fantasy.
Trisk, I believe that girls that kiss/grope/go down on other girls are similarly bisexual as men that would do those acts. I think that the comfort level is just different for women than men towards same-sex sexual play. This is strongly influenced by our society, but probably has genetic factors as well.
The labels of "gay" and "bisexual" seem to be clearly defined in some people's minds from what i've read here, and are different from my own perceptions, so i'll try to explain my own point of view.
I see our sexuality as a point on a scale from heterosexual to homosexual, Bisexuality being right in the middle. Most people will fall close to the heterosexual side. Depending on what you are willing/turned on by, you can shift all the way to homosexuality. I have trouble seeing that people are born either hetero, bisexual, or homosexual and nothing in between. Or that limitations on what makes a gay man or lesbian woman homosexual.
Munku, I disagree with your statement. I love my best friend deeply because i've grown up with him and we've supported each other, but I have no sexual feelings for him, nor him for me. Male bonding would be gay under your restrictions of homosexuality. If male bonding is gay, what then seperates gay men from "straight" guys with friendships with other guys?
All i'm trying to say is that there is a lot of misinformation and plain confusion about what makes us straight or gay. I'm not saying my opinion is right, but that it's just a different perspective on this issue.
