Board 8 > Sexual orientation and behavior are not related.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Most of the time.

http://pdfcast.org/pdf/sociology-undergraduate-thesis

For you stat guys, I added the Pearson R values for the correlations. To make sense of these, the greater the r-value and closer it is to "1," the stronger the positive correlation (meaning that as one thing increases, the other increases). The lesser the r-value and closer it is to "-1," the stronger the negative correlation (meaning that as one thing increases, the other decreases). Values close to 0 are extremely weak. Generally, for a relationship to have statistical significance (p < .05), the r-value needed to be about .215. If the r-value has an asterisk, that means that the relationship was statistically significant and is accurate up to the 95% confidence level.

Of the following 41 behaviors, 8 were related to sexual orientation for men (bolded):
Wearing baggy clothing (r = -.142)
Wearing blue clothing (r = .124)
Styling your hair (r = .072)
Wearing tight clothing (r = .147)

Overall, 87.8% of the time in this study, there was no correlation between sexual orientation and behavior.

Thought you guys might like this.

Just for the interested, here was the distribution of sexual orientation in my study.

Distribution of Sexual Orientation: What sex do you sexually desire?
Only the opposite sex = 76.7%
Mostly the opposite sex = 14.2%
Slightly more the opposite sex = 2.1%
Both sexes equally = 1.9%
Slightly more the same sex = 0.3%
Mostly the same sex = 2.1%
Only the same sex = 2.7%

I wish man. Every time I go out with my co workers to lunch they all get the salad bar, while I sit there and wait for a real meal.

Also good to see that none of the gay behaviors pertain to me. I guess this confirms I'm not gay!

Also, just for fun, lemme see how many of these I correspond with (as a gay male)...

Wearing pink clothing - I have a pink shirt, nothing else in my wardrobe. It IS one of my favorite shirts, though >_>
Singing in choir -- Nah.
Dancing ballet -- Nah.
Eating salad - I avoid salad. The consistency usually turns me off it.
Watching romantic films - Only if they involve zombies.
Receiving pain for sexual pleasure -Not necessarily, but it kinda comes with the territory...
Performing oral sex - Guilty.
Writing love letters - Only if we're counting emails.
Being penetrated during sex - Guilty.

As gayness increased, frequency of being a gaywad increased.

http://img.imgcake.com/newaccountjpget.jpg

Obviously, just because some of these were correlated doesn't mean that all gays do these things. Obviously.

Also, sexual orientation refers to direction and object of sexual desire, not who you actually have sex with.

breakdown of subjects?

If you're asking how I broke these behaviors down into categories for analysis, there were eight categories:

Appearance
Athletics
Arts
Communication
Domestics
Food and Drink
Media
Sex and Romance

But yeah, guys, don't just think that these behaviors immediately make you gay, obviously. The important thing to take from this is that behavior was not related to sexual orientation almost 90% of the time, when most people believe that you can look at a person's behavior and figure out his or her sexuality.

Which is the best you can do. Also, this worked even for those who identified as a "1" (desiring of mostly the opposite sex).

As the modified Kinsey scale value increased, "gayness" increased. That's why these correlations were possible, in the first place.

Like 20+ correlations got tested and presumably no data was discarded, shouldn't it be expected that two or three results don't make much "sense"? (Choir, for example, considering that 13% of the people in the study were music majors and if a lopsided ratio of homosexual:heterosexual males were in there...)

What's the false positive/negative rate for the Kinsey scale, if you don't mind me asking?
