In my (limited) experience, most guys don’t seem to be completely one way or the other. On a scale of of 0-10 (0 being straight, 10 being gay)… how gay are you?

One of my ultimate fantasies I think is to be dominated by a tall, well hung trans-woman that loves to fuck a naughty boy.

Let's think about that, so started thinking about it * a long time ago*. Have only ever had sex with guys, married to another man and we've been together 35 years. Never wanted to have sex with a woman, so I think it's safe to say I'm 100% gay.

Probably 10 when I get to live alone this Spring. No female is likely to be interested in an oldie. I love women's tits, even granny ones. Not so keen on the slice, I prefer cocks and balls... Old Crossdressers, femboys and shemales are my favourites. I do appreciate alpha males though. Yeah! Probably 10

I do t think you can just put a number on a complex socio-sexual interaction. It’s more complicated and nuanced than that. For a start it all depends on what you mean by “gay”.

On the Kinsey Scale I say I'm comfortably a 4. On your scale I'm a 6/7.

Most of the time if I'm thinking sexual or romantic thoughts, it's about men or androgynous people. That being said I could definitely be in a full on relationship with a woman.

Some great comments and replies on here. Love them all! I’d have myself at a 3 or 4 I think as I just couldn’t ever imaging myself becoming romantically involved with a guy.

I do however love the sex and I love to feel like I’m giving myself up to a dominant older guy and becoming submissive - this is such a sexy feeling for me and turns me on massively to have a guys full attention… knowing that he wants to use my body for his pleasure.

There are loads of self-identifying gay men who aren't interested in a romantic relationship with a man, or anyone. Sexuality is usually defined by who your cock (or clit if you're female) gets hard for. Its a base primal instinct. Equally, there are plenty of bi men who have or had romantic relationships with men. That doesn't make them gay, but it is very likely to bring them to the dark side permanently

I'm attracted to all sorts of women, enjoy their company and adore having sex with them. However, i'm also physically attracted to a particular type of guy and every now again i get the urge to have fun with a guy in that narrow cohort. I've no interest or attraction to guys outside that cohort.

I'd call myself bi or pansexual if i had to describe my sexual preferences.

I presume the question asked here is really how homosexual are you. Gay is often construed as a lifestyle, a set of 'standards' to live up to. Yes I fancy men and would not want to have sex with a woman at all. However I don't lead a perceived gay lifestyle e.g. my taste in clothing, decor, soft-furnishing would probably give Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Gok Wan the 'vapors'. I'm not left-wing or anti-religion. Don't speak polari. Quite into sports [playing in the past but now just watching] and certainly don't drool over so-called gay icons.

It still exists in the minds of a lot of people especially in more rural areas where being gay is still only grudgingly accepted. It still exists on various television programmes where you get gays depicted as the 'screaming queen' types e.g. that series with Olly Alexander and the film about gays supporting the miners strike [can't remember what they were called] or last years 'I kissed a Boy' programme etc.

I dont think it exists in many people's minds either tbh. There are gay people leading perfectly dull lives in every community and every family in the land. People know that the pastiche portrayed as parody on tv doesn't exist. Yes, there are some high camp gay people, but I know plenty of high camp straight people as well. In real life, it's often gay people who perpetuate the pastiche for attention, but straight people will do it as well. Just look at Neal Jones from Strictly as an example, camp as a row of tents. Its not real, and it's not necessarily "gay". Most people know it's not real nor a representative image of most gay people. If anything, media portrays gay people as the same as anyone else because as a general rule we are. Look at Eastenders or Corrie, or gay newsreaders or weather reporters or sport men and women. Some might be better dressed and have nice home furnishings but we're actually just as dull as anyone else 😆

Its not real, and it's not necessarily "gay". Most people know it's not real nor a representative image of most gay people. If anything, media portrays gay people as the same as anyone else because as a general rule we are. Look at Eastenders or Corrie, or gay newsreaders or weather reporters or sport men and women. Some might be better dressed and have nice home furnishings but we're actually just as dull as anyone else 😆 "

To an extent you may be right. I may be the case in the sophisticated South-East and the cities but still a lot of prejudice or just grudging acceptance out in more rural areas. A lot of straight people still expect us to be effeminate, high camp. Last year's 'I Kissed a Boy' was a serious backward step.
