    hmmm.. i duno about that... i think the eyebrow piercings tend to add a little masculinity... i always tend to think of that in terms of girls with eyebrow piercings too, i must admit. well, not necessarily masculinity there, but tomboy tendencies at least...

    ive considered it, but i just dont think it's for me... i think you need a certain face for it... my face is too .. pudgy isnt hte right word... but it's not very defined. and you kinda need more defined features for an eyebrow piercing.

    plus i wouldnt be able to wear my caps, and then what would i do on a bad hair day?!

    To be honest, I'd say it's more you're personality that makes people think you're bi. No way would anyone know any other way. And in my opinion I think this thread is a bit more attention seeking than anything. However. You do raise an interesting thread.

    When I was working in Claire's, guys were always parro about which ear was the 'gay' ear... Where did that come from?

    It's an eyebrow piercing. It'll be gay no matter where you put it.

    I'm not quite sure why there is so much interest in gays and lesbians. The only difference between heterosexuals and gay people is the bedroom, so why is everyone interested in what someone else does in the bedroom?

    Actually, people weren't that interested, which is why they stopped responding to this thread more than 3 months ago.

    I wasn't even reading this board 3 months ago so I missed this whole thread.

    Back in 1989 I got my LEFT ear pierced because this was a mad rebellious thing to do. There wasn't much of the eye, ear, neck, nipples stuff going about at that time.

    The rule then amongst the younger crowd was that the left ear was straight and the right ear was gay.

    Nowadays I don't think it matters much, not since male "stars" started to get both ears pierced with diamond earrings.

    Go to the George of a wednesday night, becoming emo and what not has become a trend among the less "bull dykey" of the lessers, every second one of em in there has, tongue, nipple, snakebite, or lip of some form, nose and a number of ear ones. Then there's the clothes, skinny jeans round their asses, PLO scarves in odd colours, or those clack or white ones with the rainbow stars, and the hair cut short with a sweeping side fringe covering an eye or both.

    Whatever about the meanings of "gay" piercings in the past, these emo lessers are bringin it all back out!

    Do you think bull-dyke and lezzers are acceptable terms to describe lesbians?

    Piercings make you more attractive to guys (perhaps not just gays?):confused:
    Something to do with more holes to try put "it" in perhaps?:D:rolleyes:

    I'd say there really still is no clear "winner" and it will probably remain that way for awhile to come. Hopefully the dual format DVD players will come down in price.

    My (stretched) piercings are, unfortunately, not large enough to justify putting 'it' in!!!!!!! i only have a 8mm(as of last night) septum, a 7.5mm lip, a 3.2 PA and 14mm lobes,

    or have i miss read what you meant due to me being, as you would say, 'tipsy(hammered)ish!!!!!!!!

    Ahem.................:o

    Never had the assumption made about me that I was a lesbian due to my piercings (labret, nostril, tongue, tragus, scaffold, numerous ear piercings) but many people have commented (independently of each other I might add!) that because I have piercings they would assume that I'm more adventurous in the bedroom and experienced. :rolleyes:
