No, but I've only ever had actual sex (read: penis-in-vagina or anal) with one person.
TPBM took the virginity of their first lover.

I have a question - does the Kinsey scale look at purely physical/sexual attraction?
The reason I ask is that I find my interest in the same sex differs on sexual attraction/desire vs. emotional/romantic attraction. If it was strictly physical desire, I'd rate myself as a 2, but when it comes to desire for a romantic relationship I'm pretty much straight. It's that sex vs love differentiation, but maybe Kinsey's scale is based purely on the physical?
That's a good question. Here's a link to an article that explains the Kinsey scale a little better.

A post in another thread reminded me of this scale, and I mentioned it in the other thread. This got me to wondering where the Lush community sat on this scale. It was developed by a sex researcher named Kinsey, who worked out of Indiana University-Bloomington. The scale is self-measured, so there's no test to take to find out where you sit.
On the actual Kinsey scale, there isn't a "Not sure" option, but I included that here because I know I'm not entirely sure.

I haven't dispelled my doubts yet. I've always been straight in my actual activities and find women very attractive (Hell, I married one and I've had more than few crushes even now in my middle age years). Yet, there's this niggling attraction to the fantasy of having a guy that's become stronger over time. I can't really say that I've been attracted to or even crushed on any specific guys but the general idea of sex with a man enthralls me and I certainly get off to gay porn and images. So, I'm not totally sure that "bisexual" is the right label yet but I'm increasingly thinking it is.
Sex researchers (forget if it was Kinsey or M&J) seem to think there's a continuum running from gay to straight rather than discreet points so I'm likely somewhere on that continuum leaning towards the straight end but a long way from being at that end of the line. Speaking hypothetically (since I don't have time to do real research on this) if we had a scale from -5 to +5 where -5 means one is attracted to sex with opposite sex only, 0 means one is equally attracted to both sexes, and +5 means one is attracted to same sex only, I'd probably fall around a -1 or -2 rather than squarely on a 0. Mostly attracted to sex with women but open to sex with men as well. Then again, if I were to let go and actually have a sexual relationship with my own sex, who knows? Maybe I'd find I'm more or less into it than I currently think.
I remember seeing something about a Kinsey bisexuality scale. It ranged from 0 to 6 (0 is straight, 6 is gay). I remember also reading that very few people sat at 6 or 0, but most don't act on anything other than either gay or straight attraction.
before I have to go out in this snow.

Note: For those of you that don't know, my state has a webpage that alerts residents when travel isn't a good idea. Red means that anyone driving will get a ticket and a police escort home.

The main concern that I would have with using drugs for recreation purposes is the list of side effects that come with them. Specifically for ED treatments, I would be concerned that I would take them, just for giggles, and wind up with that three-hour boner they warn about in the disclaimers.

Speaking bluntly, I wouldn't. I don't like ultimatums, even from people I'm sleeping with.
I am cut, however, so it wouldn't come up. But I'm not sure I would circumcise any boy that I have in the future. I simply don't see much outside of religious reasons and basic hygiene.

I can't really speak to the willingness of men to give golden showers, but I can speak to peeing while hard. It is actually possible to pee while completely hard, at least from my experience. In fact, I urinated while hard almost every morning before I discovered masturbation.

When I was younger, I always thought I was straight. A lot of my masturbation fantasies when I was younger always involved straight sex. Most of the videos and pictures I came across involved women or straight couples (I'm male, BTW). It's only recently that I decided to explore the side of me that's attracted to men.
Part of that had to do with my cyber relationship with a guy that I met through a nudist site. Even though we drifted apart, I began to wonder. I'm almost certain that I am bisexual, but I'm hesitant to label myself that way until I actually have sex with a man.
There is an article that I read at one point that covers this topic: it can be found here. The article also has links to other sites that tell of people's GLBT experiences.
Has anyone had doubts about attraction outside of straight preferences? How did you dispel those doubts?

It doesn't sound like this would be true. I submitted it to the Kinsey Confidential podshow to get a second opinion.

I have done meditation in the past and have found it relaxing. I really need to find a regular time to do meditations. I have done guided meditations and independent meditations.
A guided meditation that I like can be found here: Baphmetis Meditation. This is more for those who follow a pagan path, but a number of these meditations are either silent or simply based around a tune. (Hint: if you click "Scripture Meditation" on the side, you will be taken to meditations on the Book of the Law, not Biblical meditations.)
