How open are you with sexuality?

[Adellebella]

With close friends, and the internet, I'll tell anything. WOOO!

With friends/acquaintance, I'll not talk about my own private life in depth, but I'll speak openly about general sexuality.

With family/strangers, I'm polite about it. I definitely do not bring up my own sex life.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Very private, nobody needs to know about what I like to happen in the bedroom aside from those involved.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Depends on the type of discussion, if it is taken seriously I have absolutely no problems sharing my naughty secrets (especially with my partners), but if it's discussed as a joke I wont exactly be handing out ammo.

It is very interesting that people tell you anything on internets but completely choke up in person, seems sex is still a very awkward topic for most.

 

[Burningsok]

Well as far as my willingness to express my sexuality, I'm really open about it. Like for instance, if someone asked me "do you like watching porn" I'd say yes, and then start telling them how much I watch and possible what kinds i watch. Yeah I'm pretty open in general. Straight btw.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Not at all! I consider sex to be another distasteful bodily function, and thus impolite to discuss under normal circumstances. The only thing I will mention is my vow of chastity, and only when prompted.

Consider this a prompt, then, if you don't mind? Is that a permanent vow, or a 'not until marriage' vow? And is it due to disinterest, disgust, or something else entirely?

OT: Used to be exceptionally prudish about the whole thing. Nowadays I'm a lot more open, but still unlikely to ever start anything about sex as a topic of conversation.

Oh hey, Ty! I'm not a bit surprised you started this thread.

Well it really depends on who I'm around. I love to talk about sex and sexuality, and I never get tired of it. I'm gay, so when I'm around other friends of mine who are gay I'm most open about discussion. Some good times have been had huddled around a laptop giving critique and opinions on porn.

Outside of that group, I tend to not give up too much. With straight friends that know I'm gay, I tend to stick to cheeky comments about sex and not go into too much detail. I'm sure they don't want to hear about it in too much detail. As for sexuality in general, that depends on how interested they really are and if they care to have a decent conversation.

And aside from that, I don't give out much. As far as my family's concerned, I'm still a virgin. I do my best not to talk about anything sexual. However, the topic of sexuality is still wide open, especially with my mom. Once in a while we'll have a good, long discussion on the topic.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I used to think I was open minded until I saw Hentai and gore porn.

 

[MasterOfHisOwnDomain]

If someone brings it up I will talk about it, depending on who they are. Otherwise, I'm not one of these people who make it their entire conversation all the time. Gets boring - there's a lot more to this world than who you go to bed with and what you get up to...

 

[Suicidejim]

Depends on who I'm talking to. I can talk to partners, obviously I don't mind being open about it on the internet, since it's open and anonymous, and I'll happily talk about it with close friends. Less close friends can ask anything and I'll answer, but I probably wouldn't initiate it. Anyone I'm not particularly well-acquainted with can mind their own business.

 

[Comando96]

"Look at that fucking f****t over there", I'd probably have to physically restrain myself from flooring that person.

Where I come from (Herefordshire, UK), a ******... Is a food. And a Fag is a cigarette.


Equally where I come from if someone said "look at that fucking queer" most people wouldn't restrain themselves and openly harass the person who said it... And if they continued spouting their brand of poision, then someone would floor them : )
Well... So long as your not Newton farm, or Barrons Cross, both which recieved the nickname: Bagdad-respective town- for the Chavs.

------------------------
OT:
I don't tend to like hearing people talk about their experiences and as far as I know I am asexual (only 18, change is severely possible). However if the convocation isn't about experiances but more scientific theory then I tend to know a lot... Maybe there is a scientist in me... Or maybe I watch too much QI.

 

[Akyho]

You haven't seen my you tube video. Your fetish then? I made that 4 years ago...I should take it down....but does that say I am chicken. So I keep it up just to give my self esteem a little boost and keep at least a false hood of confidence to myself.

 

[Zerazar]

It depends a heavily on the circumstances. It's really a spectrum, from being completely open to avoiding any kind of discussion.

 

[JediMB]

I'm going with the boring "depends on who I'm talking to" and such.

That said, I've become more willing to talk about these things in recent times, so I guess I'm gradually becoming more open?

 

[KingGolem]

Consider this a prompt, then, if you don't mind? Is that a permanent vow, or a 'not until marriage' vow? And is it due to disinterest, disgust, or something else entirely?

Permanent. I think "vow of chastity" usually means permanent, and "abstinence" usually means "until marriage." Anyway, I chose this for myself because I don't see any real economic benefit to marriage and sex, yet they are fraught with danger. Intercourse carries risks of disease, accidental pregnancy, and the wrath of scorned women. Nor do I value the prospect of having to live with a woman for the rest of my life. Marriage almost certainly means devoting less of my income to myself, not to mention having to put up with the demands of a wife and possibly children.

Oh, one more thing: religion has nothing to do with it either, for I am an atheist.

 

[Detective Prince]

I'm open. XD Not just because I'm pansexual.

But it's like...If people have a problem with it, why should I bother? XD

 

[Jonluw]

If I am speaking over the net, whether it is IM or a forum, I am very open.
In person, however, I am rather introverted.

 

[masticina]

If someone would ask they would get answers.. depending on who they are they get more or less information.

Sounds fair to me. Now what if someone likes me but I am not into them.. such trouble hasn't hit me yet.

 

[Edd4224]

I will talk about anything with anyone, including sex and sexuality. So fairly open about it I suppose.

I'm English as well, it's just that I don't hear the word Queer a lot, if at all. At least from my conversational experiences, ****** seems to have replaced Queer as the catch-all pejorative for Homosexuals. If I were to hear someone call someone else a Queer, it'd likely invoke the same response in me as hearing ******.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Not open at all. I get very uncomfortable when someone asks me about it and I always stutter out an answer and quickly change the topic. It's a very personal thing to me, and I just about never talk about it unless I'm making a joke about it and it's fairly obvious it is one.

Online? Not really, it all depends on what the topic is and if I feel like commenting on it.
