Jeez Louise. Call me a pig-fucker on the PB, and I return to this board and see you spilling your secret desires re: Flinty. Sounds like it's time for you to go back to Vegas.

Flinty, get in your car NOW. Drive south. I've got a friend with an extra room in Encino until things settle down.

I can't get to either of those links from work, and I can't google on that, but isn't Kinsey's research from 50 years ago? And how, if at all, did he correct for difference in reporting rates?

He didn't rely on simple surveys but rather conducted lengthy and intensive interviews, which he felt were good enough to get past the reporting issues you see with simple form surveys.


Disclaimer: All I know about Kinsey comes from the T.C. Boyle novel, which was really good.

The men on LA Craigslist don't seem overly concerned over labels. Clearly they aren't gay.

They just want another straight guy (jocks preferred) to get together with them to jack off. No Gays.

Someone needs to inform these guys that they're officially gay. Or members of Sigma Chi.

Yeah, thanks for the warning Gatti, but the last time I stayed with you or one of your "friends", I ended up with a mysterous hangover and most of my underpants went missing. I think I'll just stay with nice hostesses in the LA area instead. If they are kind enough to lift the restraining orders.

Lots of guys like to watch their buddies fuck. I know I do.


My undying gratitude and some clean underpants for the first person to name the movie.

Does the guacamole come with beer? If so, yes. Except hold the guacamole, please.

I have a couch, and starting on Mon night you can have your own room.

Damnit, wandering around the Kinsey Institute website, I realize that I entered the wrong field.

I wonder if they need any healthcare lawyers to do research there.

ETA: Further research on the subject that mmmmmmmmm brought up.

Abastract of Sexual Behavior September 2004 "Sex Differences in the Flexibility of Sexual Orientation: A Multidimensional Retrospective Assessment" from the Archives of Sexual Behavior

Abstract The flexibility of sexual orientation in men and women was examined by assessing self-reported change over time for three dimensions of sexual orientation (sexual fantasy, romantic attraction, and sexual behavior) across three categorical classifications of current sexual orientation (heterosexual, bisexual, and gay). The primary purpose of the study was to determine if there were sex differences in the flexibility (i.e., change over time) of sexual orientation and how such differences were manifested across different dimensions of orientation over the lifespan. Retrospective, life-long ratings of sexual orientation were made by 762 currently self-identified heterosexual, bisexual, and gay men and women, aged 36 to 60, via a self-report questionnaire. Cumulative change scores were derived for each of the three dimensions (fantasy, romantic attraction, and sexual behavior) of orientation by summing the differences between ratings over consecutive 5-year historical time periods (from age 16 to the present). Sex differences were observed for most, but not all, classification groups. There were significant sex differences in reported change in orientation over time for gays and heterosexuals, with women reporting greater change in orientation over time than did men. Bisexual men and women did not differ with respect to self-reported change in orientation.

Does this have anything to do with cocksucking?

Wait, no snuggling? Even Gatti snuggles.

You need to learn to read it into everything. You will be happier. Trust me.

Hm. Possibly Monday night there will be an opportunity for snuggling. You are up for MFM but not MMF, right?

ETA Tuesday, not Monday.

Yes, it's over 50 years old, but there's never been anything as comprehensive done.

He increased his n to make up for the self-selection. From the Kinsey Institute:

5300 white males and 5940 white females provided almost all the data, with the majority of participants being younger white adults with some college education. (This part of the sample is referred to as the "College Sample.") Kinsey tried to compensate for volunteer bias in his sample by interviewing 100% of the individuals available in a given organization or group. Approximately 25% of the sex histories came from these 100% groups. (Kinsey did not believe a random sample was possible.)

Look, everyone has been tested now, and filming has resumed. It's all cool, and they liked you in the last shoot. Maybe this time we can get you a lead-in credits shot, if you'd just take off that goddamned bandanna.
