Here is my rant.

Straight • Bisexual • Gay

The common misconception among people today is that if you show ANY signs of attraction towards the same sex, then you are gay. THIS IS NOT TRUE. There is a reason why it's called PREFERENCE.

I consider myself straight, however there are a few men's bodies that can turn me on. Hell, the thought of men jacking off only leads me to imagine myself jacking off. Granted, I am not interested in having sex with a guy at this point, not a blow job or a hand job either. However, if I were to do so (actually have done in the past) it does not make me gay. I'm still sitting here, typing to you, and I crave women like nothing else!

What makes someone gay? It's simple, really. If a guy PREFERS intimate relationships with men over women, then he is gay, and he will readily admit it to himself. In fact, sex has very little to do with any part of being gay or straight. "Sexual" in "Sexual Preference" refers to the gender of one's desired partner, and not the actual activity of sex. Are you all following me?

Bisexual, is actually separate from Gay/Straight. I may be slightly off on this, but here is how I understand it. Of all the bisexual people I've met, they tend to have a sexual preference (man or woman) for relationships but enjoy sex with both parties just the same. In this way, Bi is just a label one gives oneself as being sexually open and able to swing either way in bed. There may be a minority who can accept intimate companionship from both sides, but my experiences and education lead me to believe this label is merely for show.

In conclusion, if I were to have sex with my best buddy who is gay, I wouldn't *instantly* be gay. I may consider being Bi if I enjoyed it though. Gay/Straight/Bi is all in the head of the individual.
