It's not just for gays anymore[/SIZE]

For sure. I guess I've just always been comfortable with the notion that sexuality is far more fluid than our current culture allows definition or open expression for (and I do very much blame our culture for that... the labels are just the tools they use to express those attitudes). Plenty of ancient as well as non-western cultures give ample proof of that idea that sexuality is nowhere near so black-and-white crystallized into two categories as our current society socially enforces. And I say enforce because our culture largely ascribes to the same one-drop rule that was assigned once upon a time as the test of whiteness... if you have a drop that isn't white, you're totally defined as belonging to that group, not to whiteness. We treat sexuality the same way. If a man went through his life with 5% male partners and 95% female, society largely wouldn't recognize him as straight, or even as bi.... most people would say he's probably a closeted gay male. That's how the narrow, limited rubric is 'enforced.' Hell, a guy confessing having even had a crush on another male at one point is more than enough, in the minds of many of his friends, girlfriends or family, to plant the idea in their heads for the rest of their lives that he may secretly be really gay and deeply repressing it.

I definitely get that all of that happens, and labels are largely used to enforce those ideas. I think the *massive* amount of one-time experiment stories or "one time at camp" stories or "once when I was with my frat buddies" stories, we should recognize there's a lot more fluidity to sexuality, but for some reason, we just reject it as a culture and instead keep defaulting to "everyone REALLY just wants one thing... they may just be denying it."
