Spin off poll....
The other post got me thinking...regardless of specific lables or identities, if you found yourself in the position to date again (totally hypothetical, i wish everyone continued happiness with thier partners!), would you consider dating someone of the opposite sex?[Poll]

lol! I often think the same thing. Like when K and I joking say which guy I should go after for swimmers...I start thinking of the actual act and get sort of creeped out.

I love you both.
I've always said that I'm a never say never girl. I have dated many guys in the past, and would probably have again at some point if I was single until later in life. I find it very unlikely that I would have any long-term, comitted relationship with a guy - but as far as just dating? It would probably happen.

I answered the last one, and feel a little compelled to explain. I'm a 50/50 bisexual. I could not be more in love with Jen, and I think, all cheese aside, that we were meant to be together. But if something were to happen to her, I think that I would date men, and if I were to remarry, it would be a man. I've had a fantastic run as a lesbian, and I think that it would be easier for me to open my heart again to someone who did not feel quite as much like a "replacement" for the one I lost. I also miss men, and if I had to be with someone else, I would use that opportunity to explore that side of myself. I also wouldn't mind some hetero privilege.?
That little bit of honesty opens me to a lot of judgment, and I get that. But that's the way I feel, no apologies.
Now, off to make my beautiful wife some dinner, followed by making out :-D?
I answered, Yes definitely I would
The reason I fell in love with Danielle is because I was open to falling in love with the right person...be it male or female.
So, if Danielle wasn't THE ONE, I am not saying that a guy couldn't me THE ONE...
it seems simple to me.
I think the replies here are just beautiful. As someone open to any sex or gender, I've always found the ability to love a person beyond their body touching, and/though I fully understand the need for complete compatibility in a sexual relationship.
I'm roughly a 2 on the Kinsey scale, which isn't a complete endorsement of the system but a good way to place me. I lean toward relationships with men because I enjoy male friends and I like my most intimate relationships to be with my best friends, though only feminine men with a good grasp of Queer Theory about gender roles, sexuality and sex pretty much being a "timey-wimey ball" like the Doctor describes the problems with time travel in Doctor Who.
?I generally identify as bisexual. It's the simplest. The best description is more "never say never", especially since there's that whole timey-wimey ball in regards to physical sex as well. I tend to think, with my knowledge of neuroscience and a bit of psychology, simplistic as the former and judgmental as the latter can be, that I was born with the potential to fall within a certain range and my experiences directed me to where I am therein. Conveniently, my range is "never say never", with an emphasis on being myself quite masculine and enjoying the company of those most like me.
?Marrying a man gets me some nice hetero privilege and I have to admit that I express my interest in women extremely openly because I identified as gay during frakking puberty in a small town and cannot stand the idea I might become close to someone who would've tortured me then, and try hard to be an advocate so others don't have to go through the same. To now actually answer the poll, though I'm somewhat an outlier on it even if my answer is fairly common, I would love to date the opposite sex if I weren't with my current partner, but I would probably prefer to date the same sex because it's been awhile.?
