    Eh, labels for sexuality is garbage anyway. Wanna jerk off a guy? Go for it, who cares?

    Lol no that doesn’t make you straight but who the hell cares you’re not signing it on some document or getting a tattoo? You can tell everyone you’re straight and jerk off all the dicks you want

    I think so, because it’s up to each person to put into words their own sexual identity.

    For the record, I once had a guy in a gay club who said he was straight. And indeed, he had a very restricted list of what he wanted to do with other guys: mutual masturbation, being sucked off, and nothing else, not even caressing or kissing

      I can relate to this. I could never kiss another guy. But would be into just trying hand jobs or blow jobs. Also could never do anal. So more about just physical sex with no emotional feelings

      The Kinsey Scale does not address all possible sexual identities. The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid and the Storms Scale have stepped in to further define sexual expression.

      The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, developed by Fritz Klein, features seven variables and three situations in time: past, present, and ideal. The Storms Scale, developed by Michael D. Storms, plots eroticism on an X and Y axis. This allows for a much greater range of descriptions.

      Kinsey, Storm, and Klein are three of more than 200 scales to measure and describe sexual orientation.

        The Kinsey scale doesn’t need to be the best or most accurate scale to serve its purpose, which is to expand sexual definitions beyond labels. The simple idea of nuance to sexuality is one a lot of people struggle with, including OP.

        I mean, does it even have to be mathematically plotted? Add paraphilia (both healthy and unhealthy) and fetishes and gendered and nongendered people and you have to solve differential equations to figure out your sexuality.

    Yes. Full stop.

    If you feel you’re straight but find there’s this one guy who’s really hot and that gets you off, then you’re straight. Your orientation is what you decide it is, and nobody else’s to gainsay. There is even an entire subcategory of straight “MSM” (men who have sex with men).

    The same goes for anybody else - if you aren’t guy #1 and are questioning someone else’s identity, then even if you find it odd or uncomfortable please just accept it and move on. They know themselves from the inside, in a way you never can.

    Might they decide in the future to identify another way? Are they going through a self-discovery process? Working through internalized homophobia? Maybe. Maybe not. Not your circus, not your monkeys.

    No, but if you feel a need to place a label on something like that, you might call it heteroflexible or bisexual

      What would be the difference between bisexual and heteroflexible?

        IMO heteroflexible means you’re primarily attracted to the opposite gender but situationally open to same sex encounters (e.g. a man only interested in giving other meb handjobs). Bisexual usually often means you’re open to the same sex romantically too where heteroflexible you likely are not.

        Source: I consider myself heteroflexible.
