I'm curious too, about the drive towards one or the other. If youre a 1-2, what makes you seek out fanfic? If youre a 4-5, what makes you seek out original fiction?

Hello I’ve gone insane about The Kinsey Scale and thinking about the Jet Lag people because I’m obsessed. Reminder that this is goofs and gaffs and I am NOT speculating on their ACTUAL IRL SEXUALITIES, just those of the dolls I play with. Okay thank you ☺️.

Adam: 1. That man likes WOMEN (and a handful of guys) and that’s IT.

Ben: 3. A true equal opportunist, he’s just looking for a good time!

Sam: 4. Guys are just… simpler to him.

Amy: 4. Just… her whole vibe. She likes girls! But guys are fun still!! But also… women…

Brian: 3. He’s a personality guy, he does not care at all what’s in your pants.

Toby: 5. Could be a 6, but I feel like she would have A Special Guy or two (cough Brian and Sam cough).

Michelle: 2. Wishes she was a 3, but knows deep down she just likes men more.

Tom: 6. No comment.

Mike: 1. He’s actually been with a few men, but every one he has been with has broken his heart, so nowadays he just focuses on women.

Scotty: 0. He’s tried, more than once! But he’s just not into dudes.

Joseph: X. He does not care about sex, and wishes people would stop asking him about it.

It's easy to RPF athletes from the same team because they have such intense relationships from spending so much time together in closed environments, sharing extreme emotions (losses, wins) that really bond them—and we just observe that from the outside and RPF it.

That said, let's not forget that over 90% of the population identifies as straight—it's a fact—so statistically it's very likely both are hetero. Having said that, the Kinsey scale exists, and plenty of straight guys have felt attraction to someone of the same sex at some point in their lives, even if most of the time they choose to do nothing about it because it's more comfortable to stick to the conventional path (looking at you, Geno).

Time will tell if these boys actually have something going on... or maybe we'll never know and whatever happens between them goes to the grave with them.

I again really don't want to get into the sexuality of it all with these two so will speak in more generalities. You are correct about the statistics (do ppl really admit their sexuality when asked?, where is this data coming from?) and hockey culture of it all (how MUCH of a team sport it is, the locker room culture which is homo AF). But stats and culture speak to groups as a whole and not to individual people.

And also, the Kinsey scale showed us most people exist somewhere on a spectrum and not on one end or the other. When Kinsey did his EXHAUSTIVE study like nearly 100 years ago now he discovered most people got up to SOME SHIT and just never talked about it. I think this probably remains true today.
