According to Kinsey there aren't people at the extremes at either end of the scale.
I would never call soemone bi-sexual who has "done it" once, twice a few times, whatever in their life, simply because people need to identify with whatever they consider themselves to be. There are a lot of reasons people have sex & it's not always about a deep burning in your soul to "be with this person."
I suppose if you want to look at it from a clinical perspective - homosexual or heterosexual behavior does not define the sexual orientation of someone at one end of the spectrum or the other. I suppose it could be characterized as bisexual behavior. But, behavior does not equal orientation.
Like Rubellian, I do not care for the stereotype of gay men that want to fuck everything in sight & are overly concerned with drapes & nice clothes. I do believe whole-heartedly that it's simply a stereotype. In my experience, there are very few of them. Most of the guys I know would rather define sexual orientation as "who do you fall in love with," rather than "who do you screw." I think if you take a look around you'll see the same. Honestly, straight people are not solely at fault for perpetuating stereotypes.
