    Oh I totally agree that it's a stupid stereotype, but nonetheless, that is what the vast majority of people think. Thus, if he goes ahead and gets his tongue pierced, he should at least be aware that a lot of people will make assumptions about his sexuality. All I was pointing out was that whilst I dodn't necessarily agree with the original poster, I can understand why they might have that preconceived idea - becasue it's a popular belief.

    I dont know what the percentage of females is to males getting this done but I have known many many girls that have done it and no guys but the guys I have seen on tv and such were all homosexual. To me, its not much different than getting an earring in your right ear.

    And to most right-thinking people, getting an earring in your right ear is not much different to getting one in your left ear.

    I forget who it was, but I saw an Autralian stand-up comedian do a bit about this kind of thing.

    How does a piercing affect sexuality?.... Don't gay women ever have tongue piercings? I bet they do.....
    I'm a girl and ragingly hetero...and I have a tongue piercing....I'm not sure all these facts are related though.... :confused:

    Yeah I wouldn't say it was especially common among men, I know far more women who have their tongues pierced.

    LOL! I don't know where that assumption came from, but it seems to be widely accepted. Although it appears quite acceptable to have both ears pierced these days; I see loads of chavs with fake diamond studs in both ears.

    It's about the most mentalist thing ever, I mean why would you choose to have that pain and discomfort brought upon yourself? Only the though of a Prince Albert makes my eyes water more ;)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    It only hurts for a little while.... then it's fun, fun, fun....;)

    Seriously though... a tattoo is much more painful, and a whole lot more permanent.

    It's all stupid, really. I mean, I'd never get my ears, tongue or elbows pierced, but what of it if someone does? I know you're just pointing out the accepted stereotype, and not really agreeing with it as such, so I don't mean to sound off on you.:) The OP's playground mentality just grates with me.

    I really do wonder who decided in the first place that right ear piercing would be a sign of homosexuality and how it became such a common way of knowing that persons sexual orientation.

    My tattoo hurt like a bitch, but the tongue piercing was over and done with in seconds....
    Apart from a bit of bruising I was fine the next day... The tattoo took ages and itched like crazy...
    I guess it's just a case of what bothers you most, and at least you can remove any and all piercings as soon as you get bored with them.

    Well yeah I totally agree that people should be free to do what they want. As a side issue though, I find people being self-righteous (not you) about political corectness to be just as irritating as ignorant people.

    I think we're all guilty of stereotyping from time to time, even if it's on a subconscious level - yet some people feel the need to aggressively lambast some people's stereotyping and portray themselves as some totally liberal and perfect person who never makes mistakes etc. I think in general it's far better to challenge people's assumtions on an intellectual level than just insulting etc.
