Everything you wanted to know about the New Guy

[JamesMDenton]

Welcome and thanks for keeping it so honest!

I have to ask -- is that your real name? Because if it is, you're out of the closet, dude!

Haha, no, it's a pseudonym. I just always liked the name. I'm a very private person, but incredibly social, so I get used to things like that.

And was I right in using the word "closet" in referring to, well, things I'm into that most people in my life don't know about? I didn't intend to mislead about my orientation(straight).

And since that came up, and due to tossing in a thought or two in another discussion on this site, I'm reminded of a conversation that a gay friend and I had about how Gay-Bi-Straight is such an inaccurate scale. I figured I'd touch on that as well as clarifying a bit from my original post on my BDSM "role".

He suggested that orientation be more like a sliding scale with different degrees. Example. (I hope the spacing works out)

Gay|---------------|Bi|----------*-----|Straight

With the star representing myself.

And

Sub|---------------|Switch|-----*----------|Dom

Again, the star representing myself.

So I thought of a great idea, and whipped(Pun intended) up something in Photoshop.

The center of course being absolute Bi/Switch.

I'll post the blank in a new thread if there is enough desire. I've got a few more ideas on the subject.

PS. And I guess something else to add to my mini-bio; as a former Photo editor, Photography and Photoshop are two of my favorite hobbies.
