I guess i want to throw caution to the wind and discuss to what degree are we straight or gay.....? what do you think is the ratio that these labels are circumstantial to the person you fall in love with or based solely/simply on sexual preference and desire?

Well, I think it really depends on each peson. As DVD pointed out, for some it's near impossible to continue to perform sexually in that type of relationship. But, I think it does depend on a lot of factors. Again, with Brokeback Mountain as a reference, both men still continued to perform sexually with their wives and/or other women, but they also were having their male/male sexual needs somewhat filled. I personally think that, speaking just sexually, if they can still have their sexual needs filled, it is possible to remain in a relationship with someone of a gender they aren't primarily disposed to be with. Which brings up the other subject of monogamy. But, I think that has to do with what "percentage" they are straight or gay. I don't think that someone who has bisexual tendancies would have as much of an issue with this.
