Yes. Interesting, sad, funny and disturbing...all in the same movie.

These are my favorite lines. It's not exact, but it's close enough.

"Sir, how long have you been sexually active?"
"14, I had sex with hors! (Indian guy)
"You've had sexual relations with animals?"
"I didn't say that I had sex with horse, I said I had sex with whores!"

At Kinsey 6, you are stone gay!

I might change my mind once I have more experience...but I'm pretty sure I'm a Kinsey 3-4.

I did indeed. Damn good film. That test scaled me as a 2 but the questions kind of sucked. It was like it was trying to figure out if you were a sexually repressed bigot or flamingly homosexual. Nothing in between.

I should specify that I didn't actually score a Kinsey 6 - I just saw that the range ran from 0-6 on the quiz results, while the discussion here had indicated a 0-5 range. I just wondered what the discrepancy was. (NTTAWWT - just don't want to misrepresent myself here :) )

Still think that quiz is worded weird though. How is a question that asks you to rank from "Nuh-uh" to "Totally" whether "God clearly states in the Bible that eating shellfish is wrong" supposed to determine anything? :rolleyes: :p

(Not to mention I wasn't sure how to answer the question "Having a hetero date might be FABULOUS" - do you answer "totally" because you do like dating members of the opposite sex, or do you answer "nuh-uh" because the "might be FABULOUS" part is supposed to allude to a gay person who might be willing to consider going on a hetero date? I don't like taking quizzes where I have to decipher what the hell the question means so that I can give an answer that best represents my opinion. :D )

Exactly!

(Didn't see your post before I responded, but I agree with the questions being a little weird.)

And what was the point of the "God clearly states in the bible that homosexuality is wrong" question? A person can be completely straight and not agree with that statement. But the way the test was scored and the questions were phrased, if you didn't agree with that statement you must be gay.

yesssssssss +2 to susan314 for clever acronym stemming from mid 90s catchphrase...

i answered disagree and came out as 99% 0

i'm a Kinsey 1... i've thought about it, had some experiences, but i'm definately into guys more than girls...

I agree - very strange. I have no idea exactly what I was answering on half of those questions. Still, I agree with their assessment of me (a 2); it seems about right.

No need to start a new thread about this. I heard of the term of LUG and BUG the other night on MTV. It supposedly stands for Lesbian Until Graduation and Bisexual Until Graduation.

Has anyone heard of this? Or know women who were LUG/BUGs? I find this strange, because half of the lesbians I know were actually "straight" during their high school and college years, not the other way around. Are these the same girls who do it because it is trendy? Or were they geniunely lesbian or bi and went straight because they thought they'll catch more drama in the "real world" for their orientation?

Sorry to take the topic in another direction Dinoysus, but I thought I'd post this now since I got my topic assignment last night.

I'm taking a class on Sexual Dysfunction and Family Violence and each student has to teach 40-60 minutes of material. My topic is sex and violence issues specific to the LGBTQ(etc.) community. While I wait for my textbooks to show up in the mail, I was hoping some people could make some suggestions about topics to cover within that presentation.

(To clarify, the class is NOT saying that LGBTQetc is a sexual dysfunction, but we're doing a section specific to this community/communities.)

I don't remember where I read this, but same sex violence (sexual and physical) is very underreported and is as much as a problem in the GLBT community as it is in the heterosexual one. Look on around on the internet and you should find something.

Thanks,

And for your topic, I didn't know any LUG/BUGs per se, or no one who identified as Lesbian/Bi but dropped it. I definately knew people who engaged in threesomes, and probably won't after college, but as I don't know how much of what was going on (and definately don't want to) I can't say for certain. I don't know what they'd self identify either so... I got nuthin.

I've never heard of this, but I do remember reading that many women do experiment during their college years. I would have to guess they do it because it's trendy. I would think it would be difficult to be gay or lesbian, live that lifestyle for a few years, then go back to being straight. I would think if they're gonna fake it, they'd just fake it all the way through. I would think that would be extremely hard to do though.

I feel like there's a category I call Hedonistic. Where they're just in it for the pleasure and the fun and the approval or whatever but it's not really reflective of their actual orientation as a whole. That's where the "trendy" people fit in to me.

She is a professor at my undergrad, where LUGs were quite common. One I know is getting married next month. :)

oh man Anne F a u s t o-Sterling....we had to read her crap in my freshman writing class back in the day. Damn hippie sociology 'tards.


p.s. why does it block her name out?

i can see what you're saying here but i also don't believe that ALL hedonists would be trendy. maybe there's just a separate category for trendy...

other than that can i go with 1.5?

I'm a 1.5

There are a few topics for Drolefille's class. I agree that violence in lesbian relationships is very undereported.

I'm curious to know the correlation between lesbian nuns and violence within their convents, communities, and schools. Wonder if they've done studies. I've heard awful stories, but nothing documented.

(FYI, I'm Catholic, I'm marrying a Catholic in a Catholic ceremony. I am not bashing the church. I just think it's an underreported subtopic.)

Let us know how the class goes, Drolefille.

I've been hearing about this for years - as in back when I was in college. I think it's most prevalent in women's colleges and with women who are brought up in Repressed Small Town USA, are going to college to get their degree, but will be returning to Repressed Small Town USA because their family owns a huge business or something.

I'm sure there are also HUGs (Hobags Until Graduation) who screw their way through college and then go home and marry their high school sweetheart who still thinks she's still a virgin.

How anyone gets away with this anymore with the internet & myspace though, I have no clue.

LGBT DV is very real... and SO underreported...

True, I don't think all people who fit in that "hedonist" category are trendy, just that they're separating sex and pleasure from emotional attachment. They may only be attracted to men (or women) but they don't care who they bump uglies with. It's not exactly an official category, just one that seems to fit. Oh, and Cosmo UK just did an article about LUGs and also brought up the term heteroflexible.
Thanks! We had a special presentation on Transgender/sexual issues Tuesday and I'm loving the class. I agree that there's an underreported issue of lesbian and gay activities and violence within the Church. How much, I'm not so sure. It's hard to tell. I'll look into it :)
Yeah, I really really wish I had more than an hour for my presentation as I have to cover so much (or at least I want to) and I hate presentations so that should tell you something ;)

I just wanted to let people in the DC area know that the Capital Pride Parade is tonight!

http://www.capitalpride.org/flash/index.html

I'll be there!

susan was onto something with those questions, i don't know wth happened when i answered what i believed the test to be asking, but err...it gave me 50% kinsey 5 :confused:

2, yes, ok, but i'm not into chicks like a level 5 would be :P some serious flaws with this test (or maybe it's because i suck at interpreting the questions)

I wouldn't say the test is particularly accurate. Kinsey didn't really use one if I recall correctly. He primarily used interviews.

BTW, if anyone has any more topics for my presentation, let me know. I have to present in a few weeks so I'm actually starting to focus on it now. I did get an interesting DVD from an advocacy group that I'd like to show for part of the class period.

Hey, where's all the Kinsey 3-6's? :confused: :( :p

0 -- I love menses.

I was in the parade on Saturday... so much fun... both Black and Capital Pride

I can't wait until my city's PrideFest! This will be my first one.

Wait, you're in DC?

Did you go see Frenchie at Black Pride?

I worked Black Pride, saw Frenchie and Monica at the convention center

1) A can mean allies or asexual
2) transsexual is an outdated term. "transgender" is much more appropriate
3) intersex is the modern term for hermaphrodite (which is also now outdated)
4) the original post's reference to "really [enjoying] certain sorority activities" makes me wonder if the poster is male?

T can also mean Two-Spirited.

And isn't that an awfully gender biased statement from someone who is apparently pretty aware of gender issues.

Welcome to GC

ok if gender =/= sex, i would think that transsexual and transgender are not interchangeable terms. they are two different things, no?

ETA: nevermind, guess you learn something new everday! (but i dunno, in mymind the 2 are seperate)

I know that the NPC has a Manual of Information that clearly states that Rush should now be called Recruitment, Rushee is now Potential New Member, etc. etc.

Does the LGBTQIA community have a handbook that states that transsexual and hermaphrodite are now passe?

[I really don't care, I just wanted to throw that out because I thought it was weird how a new user would choose this thread to make her first post]

And to thetalovebug, I'm pretty sure it's been proven that the OP = female. She's an APhiO brother, but she's female. And not of the transgendered type.

Many people seem to think I'm a guy on the internet, not just here on GC, lol. :eek: :confused:

Thetalove, I'm 100% female.

Every time I hear a term is passé I wait a year and then hear that such and such group is reclaiming it.

SHEETCAKE = AWESOME. always appropriate for the occasion.
