Thank you KG. I always try to say exactly what I think, and don't think that I am always right, but do try to speak the truth as I see it. I understand that human beings vary in sexuality and there is no "one size fits all" set of rules or desires. You remind me of a guy who started working for me as a teenager. He was a beautiful young guy, and no I never did anything with him, but he knew from how I looked at him and treated him, that I was very turned on by him, and we did become good friends and I guess I became a sort of mentor to him.Mikeyank, as usual a good thoughtful post. I think that I can pinpoint the exact moment I was Kinsey 3 on the verge of Kinsey 4. I was then a 24 year old graduate student, who, the day after I ceased being her graduate assistant, started a passionate affair with my 25 year old beautiful blond female professor. We fucked like rabbits and marriage was discussed (she dropped me when I decided to continue my education, and she was not prepared to wait). The exact moment was the time, in the midst of fucking her (a most enjoyable pleasurable fuck by the way), I started fantasizing about a hot football player student of hers taking my place and fucking her. So I was fantasizing about the hot body of the jock kid fucking her, when at the time of the fantasy I was fucking her myself. After that torrid affair ended some six months later, I started sampling the male side, liked it and grew to like it more and more. In retrospect, that was the turning point in my Kinsey evolution. I realize that I am taking a chance with this post of being viewed as perhaps mentally and/or sexually deranged, but that's just me. The bottom line is that my starting as a Kinsey 1 and ending up Kinsey 5 means that I was never and could never be a Kinsey 0 or a Kinsey 6. That is why I am in so complete agreement with the gist of your post.
When I first met him and through his late teen years and his early 20's, he lived the totally straight lifestyle with tons of girlfriends, but I also learned that he "dabbled" on the side with guys. Eventually he met the girl he married and had three kids with. They lived in the suburbs of New York City and he would tell me of the rest stops where he had sex with guys. When we talked he told me how much he loved his wife and the sex they had, but that he was conflicted as he loved fucking with guys just as much, and never wanted to give up either.
Eventually however the gay side won out and he is now living in Florida with his male partner. And so he was also never a Kinsey 0 nor a Kinsey 6 either, while I've always been a Kinsey 6. And so I try to be as open minded as I possibly can in respecting that what may be "truths" for me, may not be so for others, and I always come back to Sly Stone's line of "Different Strokes for Different Folks".
