I’m not the most adventurous eater. In fact, you can say I’m downright picky. There are some foods I flat out refuse to try. Brussels sprouts, lima beans, potato salad — even though I’d never tasted them, I was certain I hated them.
Then one day my husband made brussels sprouts and I tried them. And I liked them! Hey Mikey! Now, whenever I’m in the mood, I eat brussels sprouts.
Believe it or not, your sexual orientation has a lot in common with brussels sprouts. All of your life you can be convinced that you are ONLY ONE WAY. I am gay and that’s it! I am straight and that’s it! I’m asexual and that’s it!
But then someone comes along, lays some serious mack on you and the next thing you know you’re getting a hand job from a hot redhead in a dressing room of the Marshalls in Burbank.
Of course, I’m speaking hypothetically.
But, there’s a pretty good reason why you don’t have to be so defiantly locked in to your sexual orientation. Like any other trait or restrictive beliefs you might have, there’s always some room for fun and new experiences.
Which brings us to the concept of Sexual Fluidity.
On this episode, I speak with a woman who’s the all-time Sexual Fluidity champion of the world. Her sexual orientation has taken more thrilling twists and turns than the Monaco Grand Prix. And the best part is, she’s happily going along for the ride.
Whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or asexual…or a combination of any of these…or none of them, this show has something for you. Because, whether or not you use the correct terminology, humans don’t actually fit in categories. We’re changeable. Evolving. Allowed to change our minds. We’re all fluid.
There’s a funny thing about labels. They don’t really matter at all. As W.C. Fields once said,
“It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to.”
If you’re curious about where you would land on the sexual orientation scale, in 1948, Drs. Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin interviewed thousands of people about their sexual histories. They used this data to develop a Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale—more commonly known as “The Kinsey Scale.” There’s no official “Kinsey Test” you can take to find out your designation. However, many folks have collated the questions and created their own versions of the Kinsey Scale Test designed to determine where you would land on the Heterosexual/ Homosexual spectrum.
From the folks who brought you such quizzes as, Which Vegetarian Pizza Topping Are You? and Which Friends Supporting Cast Member Would You Most Like To Murder? here’s a very fun Buzzfeed version of the Kinsey Scale Test.
Fun Fact: I took the test and the outcome was hella accurate. Also, it turns out I’m a Mushroom and I’d like to murder Gunther.
