Where on the Kinsey Scale is YOUR character? (lotta choices!)

Started by Nana, November 19, 2010, 02:17:23 AM

I voted for my current character, but my character breakdown (out of characters that made it far enough to seriously think about) looks something like this -

Entirely Heterosexual     1
Mostly Heterosexual      2
Bisexual                     3
Mostly Homosexual        2
Entirely Homosexual     1
Asexual                       1

I tend to deal with sexuality randomly... literally, I just roll a die and that's where they are on a sliding scale... unless there is a specific reason why a character would be more one way or another.
Former player as of 2/27/23, sending love.

The majority of my characters have been either asexual or bisexual, with the several leaning heavily towards homosexuality as their choice of preference.  The ones with a pronounced or firm sexuality tended to be those characters that I spent much more time developing as "people" as opposed to "a character I'm playing."

It's just me, but I've always imagined that in a world where the sexes are physically equal and where cultures have not placed any sort of stigma on which sex you choose to get it on with, so long as it's within your own species, there would be many more people willing to engage in bisexuality.

Hell, how many discussions have there been on the internet or amongst friends where the question of "who would you turn homosexual for" been raised?

I've played exactly two female characters throughout my "career" here.

Both were firmly heterosexual. What surprised me was how much pressure there could be on them in-game to show some bisexual leanings.

All my male characters have been firmly heterosexual. In the majority of cases, no one cared what they were.

I've had characters turn down offers of sex, but not because they were asexual; they just didn't think it was a good idea.

Bisexual...How else could I threaten to rape near every character I find?

Also, interspecies is not out of the question...by a long shot.

This pleases me.

You did only ask for current characters.  I have played characters of both genders that ran the gamut for both genders.

- Jimmy James, the man so great they had to name him twice

I mostly play heterosexuals.  I have played a gay male character once or twice.

I agree with whoever said that people seem to expect female characters to display bisexual or lesbian tendencies more often.  I have often been propositioned as a woman, by other women*, but never as a man, by other men.

*Especially if my character happens to be tribal or the person doing the propositioning happens to be tribal.

Look what happened to my thread!

Maybe it was the sarcasm in the title... :P
I think it was a bit blunt, which is why it was locked so soon. This poll is asking our preferences for our characters, in general, not if our current characters are gay/straight/fryingpansexual.

This sounds like the best answer.

Oh hello there, what a lovely beetle rump you have,

One of my favorite characters got very, very attached to her sunlon.

I used to love doing very detailed emotes describing her caressing its scales, fondling its neck, holding onto it firmly with her thighs, and so on.

I hope I made someone happy with all that shit...

Current character is definitely Asexual, but it's based off a few characteristics of the character.  Most other characters are Hetero, but I've had a few that flexible.

On the topic of Pansexual.  Pansexual is a person that doesn't reference gender at all.  Bisexual takes in consideration Male and Female, typically a preference is giving to those that are Bisexual, either the preference of Male or Female.  Pansexual doesn't have any preference at all, it's all about attraction and gender has nothing to do with it.  A person that is Pansexual will look at an attractive male, female, and transgendered equally, no preference between the two, where as the term Bisexual typically has a preference on gender.  Now I'm not saying that many people that call themselves Bisexual have a preference, it's just that some don't fully understand the definition of Pansexual.

Same as Nile

And I can think of at least 2 more players that are the same with current PCs. CoughMagickalCough.
