Straight CD vs gay CD question
Someone once told me that men aren't either straight or gay but fall in somewhere in between. So, if your straight what percent would you say you we're gay? And under what circumstances would you cross that line?
If you're gay what percent are you straight?
Please don't be to graphic.

idk hard to answer. im still trying to deal w/ that issue myself, as i just came out as a cd. Yet i have to admit, i am very attracted to men. At the same time, i love women, but i cant be sure if its them or their clothes at time. so i would say im a cd, and 49% gay/51% straight.

to be honest, i guess im 95% straight, happily married and aroused only by my spouse. but there is this 5% part of me that likes to flirt and be friendly with men. but thats it. i guess there are more like me?
I have no idea how u can come up with percentages, Briana. Unless you're bi?
There's NOTHING about men that I find arousing. The exception would be men that strongly resemble women. How would u compute a percentage number for that?
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Easy, you assign a number for certain traits then you plot it. P=<,05 I am convinced the sexual life is a bell curve. No one makes it to the absolute point one end or the other, You like how Bruce Willis looks when he is fighting the bad guys,,,maybe it shows just a hint of homo-eroticism. You look at how a man dresses and admire it...not really a straight thingOriginally Posted by docrobbysherry
after all you did assess another man over appearance. Nothing in the world is absolute except vodka.
The earth is the mother of all people and all people should have equal rights upon it.

Hard one to answer since I'm not sure how correct your "someone" is, but I guess I'd have to disagree with their assessment regardless. Being straight involves one's capacity to be sexually attracted to and able to love someone of the opposite sex, while being homosexual requires the same but directed to the same sex. Bisexuality is the gray area and I'm sure that's where the answer to this lies.
The better question is: How bisexual are you? (If one feels they can qualify that with a measurement.)
The simpler question for heterosexuals to answer is: What criteria would need to be in place for you to be sexually attracted to and able to love someone of the opposite sex? If anything can found to create a positive answer, then simply refer to the bisexuality question above.
In my case, the answer is no criteria could suit that equation for me... so I'm sure my wife will be happy my percentage is zero.

This is an easy one to answer. “men aren't either straight or gay but fall in somewhere in between” What rubbish, who told you that!!!
Some but not all men fall somewhere in between.
I am 100% straight.

If I can get out there, you can too
You don't get any straighter than I am.

If there is a mathematical equation for it, then the answer is absolute.....NOT!
I'm with Suzy, 100% straight my friends.
I can now say that I am 100% Gay CD who is in the process of coming out and enjoying the real Regan.
I wonder how many CDs feel the same way---I have no use for ultra "masculine" men but am very attracted to guys who are femme

I don't think the two issues are connected, not for me anyway. I am 100% straight, no interest in men whatsoever. I am a CD and dress frequently, but only for myself, as this seems to be comfortable.
But lets look at femininity. I think this is a horizontal scale, 100% masculine on one end, and 100% feminine on the other opposite end. Maybe no one is all the way on either end of this. I might be at a point on this sale that is 45% feminine.

I would think it be a little hard to believe that men fall in between sexual preferences. You're one or the other. I myself am bisexual, I'm attracted to both men and women, but I would never settle down with a man in a relationship. So I consider myself gay. My attraction to men is simply sexual. I do find it hard to believe that men who dress up as we all do, are straight. Even if I wasn't attracted to men and be heterosexual, I would never consider myself as straight for the simple fact that I dress like a woman
Well start believing it because its true!

Not to get too graphic but my wife experimented once on me years ago and even though I found it incredible, she never warmed up to it, so it got tossed and never happened again. Been 2 years since we have been intimate as she lost her interest in sex and intimacy. Been promising to go into sex counseling, but hasn't done anything about it. Still love her though. We have an easy life, just miss the sexual part.

100% Women. Just my preference and love the way women look and smell.
I fail to understand how anyone can LOGICALLY deduce that men who dress as women are not straight, or gay. If I was gay, there'd be no point in dressing to attract a straight man; he wouldn't be interested in me sexually. I'd be trying to attract another gay man, who would also be attracted, only by men. So how on earth could I possibly attract another gay man by dressing as a woman? There may be many reasons I dress in women's clothes, but being gay isn't one of them.

Understood, but isn't it reasonable to assume that a 50 year old dude who swishes around in skirts and heels and calls himself Marsha is at the very least NOT straight?
Everybody here knows that Marsha may indeed be exclusively hetero but at that point, why even bother wasting breath on the word "straight"? I mean seriously. Why even bother arguing with people about how much of a real man you are when you're dressed like freakin' little Bo Peep? You're a queer one way or another so do yourself a favor and accept it. (oh and for the squares, being queer has nothing necessarily to do with being hetero or homo)
U can call yourself a fudge sundae for all I care, Krysti. And, you're certainly not the only one here who claims to change her orientation with her outfits.I am 100% straight 100% of the time... when im dressed like a woman Im 100% into men. When Im dressed like a man I 100% into women.
But, the fact remains you're ATTRACTED to both men and women. So, you'll always be "bi" to me!
I would have argued this point to the death with u when I first arrived here 5 years ago, BT. When I claimed to be "100% straight". While my attraction to men has not increased at all since then, I have learned so much about Sherry and T-girls that I don't include "100%" in defining my sexuality anymore!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

Bingo! Whether we're TS, TG, CD, whether we prefer women, men, or both, we're queer as the proverbial three dollar bills.
No, it is not at all reasonable, especially for such an active forum member. It's called crossdressing, and all kinds of us do it - straight, bi, gay. Don't we know by now the difference between sexual preference and occasional dressup fun?
A Crossdresser who says "she" is 100% Straight is swimming in that river in Africa, the one called DeNial.
I would say that I'm 100 % straight I don't find men attractive nor do I. Want any kind of sex with them even when dressed. There are some members that look damn good as a woman but I still don't find them arousing.

I came out as a crossdresser to my mom on my 40th birthday. Mom was 70.
She shared that she believed EVERYONE is bisexual, that is, able to give and receive sexual pleasure regardless of genitals.
What's between your legs and what you like to do with it is your business, not mine. Please give me the same courtesy.
Everyone who refers to sexuality as a preference reveals their own bisexuality.
I hope to live long enough to see a time when one's sexuality or gender identity is no more important than one's religion or politics.
DO link up with your local support group. It's an easy way to meet similar people, help others, educate the public and be part of the political process.
