[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you have "a type" and you experience same sex attraction so it's likely you're some type of bisexual. Someone up thread mentioned heteromantic bisexual but I'm not so such because it sounds like you're physically attracted to certain women. To me it just sounds like you're bi. A bi person doesn't have to be 50/50 (equally attracted to men and women). A bi person can be 70/30 or even 99/1. Straight people are 100/0. They are never attracted to someone of the same sex. People that claim otherwise are trying to redefine straight. [b]The vast majority of the population never (even once) experience same sex attraction.[/b][/quote]

See I think the vast majority of the population experience some minimal same sex attraction but not enough that it makes them seriously question their sexuality outside of the default assumption of straight.  I think if kids grew up assuming the default sexuality was bi/pan, the number of strict heterosexuals would be pretty small.  But if people fit well enough into the default heterosexual assumption (like 1-15% same sex attracted only) they usually just carry on with calling themselves straight because they’re almost certainly going to end up in a heterosexual relationship.  Whereas if we assumed people were bi/pan until they came out as straight, we’d only get the 0% same sex attracted people as “straight” and all the not super same sex attracted but a little bit as bi/pan.

We hear so much about how All The Kids are identifying as not-straight these days so maybe my theory will get tested in a the coming decades.[/quote]

You could be right about this and most people are bisexual but I'm still skeptical because all the kids aren't identifying as queer. Something like 80% still identify as straight. Now it could be that they're closeted bisexuals too because they know their family won't be accepting?

Would more people have same sex partners if they weren't worried about homophobia in society? I'm sure. It's still kind of difficult for me to believe that it's a majority of people that are queer and repressing this desire though.[/quote]
