Question about sexuality.

[RountreeUSMC]

I am a heterosexual male who has had a number of homosexual and bisexual friends of both genders. As a former thespian I hung out with very promiscuous people and really never questioned my attraction to women. There were some times when I was in the Marine Corps when I actually questioned my sexuality but mostly due to the environment I was in as opposed to any real sexual confusion. (I.e. 3 month long boot camp with 74 other guys, no women and communal showers)

We had 2 4th Batallion platoons on our training schedule(Over at MCRDPI) once we hit 2nd phase, you DID NOT MISS ANYTHING. There might have been one or two that managed to retain some concept of a feminine form, but the rest were hideous.


Anyway, on topic, trial and error I guess. I dislike the company of women, but am not physically attracted to men. Still technically straight, I guess, though.

Yeah, I was 1st Battalion Delta Company at MCRDPI. One of my favorite memories is when our DI told the platoon that the female Marines were recruits that had the same training schedules and hygiene time we had. If you never heard 74 guys retch in unison it is quite the experience.

Bisexual - Have known for a pretty short amount of time. I'd say, less than two years now? I'd have never have known it and I figured it out in an odd manor.

Now, don't hate me for this, but I've noticed that stating that you're bisexual is some sort of new fad...
Sure, some people are bisexual, but the majority of people who feel the need to state their sexuality usually side with bi, stating that "they don't care either way".
Really now? That many people "don't care"?
Well I do care. I'm a straight male, and am a bit sad that our numbers seem to be dwindling. I don't have a problem with other people's choices, but it's starting to become unavoidable, and I have to say it isn't the most comfortable subject to have brought up on you on a daily basis...

your "numbers"?
like non-straight people are an opposing force or something. sounds a bit paranoid to me.

bi-sexuality is not defined as not caring, maybe have a quick look on wikipedia.

That's the thing though. Those who state that they're bisexual and then immediatly after say "I don't care if you're a guy or girl" don't seem like they mean it...
It just seems like they're trying to fit in with todays trends, since a lot of people are getting more confident with their sexual preference...
It bothers me.

so i take it you find sexuality important? i would like to know why and how it can bother you just like the OP asked.

btw i think bi-curiosity has been tending for a long time now (i kissed a girl) but that is not a sexuality.

I'm Pansexual. No, don't wiki it. It means I love the person, not the gender. Essentially the difference between me and a Bisexual person is that I will go out with transgendered people.

Here's the thing, I didn't know it was weird to like girls until someone told me it was. So I'd have to say I've always been a flaming Pan.

I've never understood why there's such a stigma regarding furries. It's not really my thing, but then, neither is hardcore S&M, but I don't hate on them. XD

It is because furries are outside what is considered normal sexual behavior. I'm not into it but it isn't wrong, everybody has some kind of sexual kink that they get their jollies off to, they might not admit it but they do.

With furries, what's so different from bondage or the hundreds of other kinks I have heard of. People can get off to anything, I could just spout some random idea or object, and someones going to be thinking, "oh yeah".

I'll admit that I'm a follower of three fetish areas, though I'm not going to say what they are. For me they are closely related and intertwine. They level themselves out, in one the girl dominates over me, the other I'm dominate, and the third I or the girl can be dominate. Oh, and bondage is quite tame compared to my three. They aren't fair water things, girls will either think they are cute and naughty, or run away screaming.

That's as far as I will go with my line of thought, the triple hint is all I will give.

I get annoyed by many things.
I'll admit I'm a bit homophobic, but I know two or three people who are homo and bisexual and I've no problem with it.
Same applies to people who dress differently because of a current trend.
I wear hats like this

Recently, I've noticed other people doing the same.
I do it because I think they look good on me, and I accompany the look with a sports jacket or nice shirt.
When I see someone doing it just for the sake of doing it, it annoys me. I can't and shouldn't do anything about it, because they can do what they want, but it still annoys me. I don't control what annoys me, it just happens...
And seeing someone with their pants hanging loose, or wearing some dirty stained shirt, clearly not dressing themselves nicely, trying to pull off a hat of my caliber just gets under my skin... (For the record, I don't think that highly of myself)
I'm also fully aware that other people have their own opinions of me.
"Oh, what have you got against bisexuals? You should like them." That's my preference. I don't hate 'em, but since I don't understand the way their minds work I can't like 'em either...
Same applies with my choice of attire. Some people think my hats make me look stupid. Well, that's their problem, as my preferences are my problems.
Just trying to make everyone understand the workings of my mind, although nobody can truly understand someone else. You don't know how other people think, and what goes through their minds. They could work very similarly to yours, or they could be completely different...
If I sound like a jackass then I apologize... I'm not trying to.

From a very young age, I have always been physically affectionate to other boys. For some reason, it didn't occur to me that that was gay. Even that may be a learned behavior as I had oral sex performed on me by another male when I was a tiny lad. He was just as tiny, so I wasn't raped or anything like that. I've only been using the word "gay" to describe myself since I was sixteen.
Romantically speaking however, I only had crushes on women and girls. It's unclear to me whether or not those were forced from outside influence or if they came naturally. As far as dating goes, I've had pretty limited experience in that field. Maybe in practice I'm not all that gay.

Does sexuality even matter?
We have 7 billion humans on this planet approximately. So there is evidently no shortage of heterosexuals/male heterosexual rapists.

 

[spartan1077]

I'm bisexual. Back in grade three, I woke up one day and thought, I'm gay. Then, three years later I woke up one day and thought, girls are attractive too. So I compromised with myself. That's it...I don't think you can really not know or have to 'go searching for the answer' because you just know. Or at least I do.

 

[ethaninja]

I think everyone has a little bit of homosexuality in them. Me I'm a full time hetero. I have a mate who likes to act gay for some reason, can somebody clue me in as to why one would do such a thing?

 

[kikon9]

I'm bi. Admittedly, I was repressed about it for a few years. I had dream, upon dream, upon dream, all with same gender subject matter I would be ashamed for having. I would tell myself every day, "You're straight. You're straight. You're straight!" This was, of course, until recently, when I admitted it to myself, and recognized that I was. I've been much better since then.

 

[escapistraptor]

I'm about a 1.5 on the Kinsey Scale. I double check my sexuality every now and then, and while I could imagine being with another man, the kind of men I find attractive are the more feminine looking ones. So what does that say, hm? Well doesn't matter any longer because I'm married to a woman, so I guess I made my choice.

 

[Sneeze]

Started to notice my interest in men around the age of 14-15 (in retrospect it would have been long before this, was just never aware of it), assumed it was hormones or curiosity. Never thought much of it.

Around the age of 17 I admitted it to myself was more than just mere hormones.

Shortly before I turned 19 I realised I had lost all interest in women, I had some for a while up until this point but it slowly drifted away but I tryed to hold onto as long as I could at the time. In hindsight the interest probably went away a long time before I admitted it did, hell it might not ever have been there, I just though it was because it was "normal" I dunno for sure.

Whatever way, despite all the pitfalls I'm confident I was born gay and with that always have been gay, I just didn't accept it for a while. Deep down I've always known I was I guess. It's hard to explain.

 

[Blue_vision]

I'm straight.

That said, I'd have no qualms or surprise being attracted to a guy.
EDIT: Nor would I be against pursuing a relationship.

 

[Mace Tulio]

Heterosexual bi-romantic male...

-snip-

..'I want to sleep with Stephanie but cuddle with Stephen.'..

I always wondered how my sexuality could be summed up, it appears I'm a Heterosexual bi-romantic.

 

[bob-2000]

I'm lesbian. I guess I've always sort of known, but i just recently came to terms with it (still a teen).

 

[ryanxm]

well im hetero sexual and as long as i've had any form of drive toward a gender it has been towards girls,i think its something that is formed in early childhood and then emerges around puberty

 

[Macgyvercas]

Heterosexual male (who is still a virgin and in no hurry to change that).

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

I didn't start being attracted to girls until 9th grade (I'm a guy). Before that, I had no sexual feelings for anyone. I couldn't distinguish a good looking girl from a homely one. Just kind of happened once I hit high school.

I assume that sort of innate, biological attraction happens in a similar way for everyone, just at different times, for different genders, and different looks.

Does sexuality matter? Yes, although it shouldn't as much as it does. People will judge you if you are gay or bisexual. That's an unfortunate fact of life. But as long as you try to be accepting of other people's sexuality, our society will become healthier.

 

[Nemu]

Figured out that I was more interested in impressing girls than boys in 6th grade, soooooo... 11? Knew (admitted to myself?) by the time I was 15, came out at 19.

The only time sexuality matters to me is when it directly affects me, so I echo that whole "as long as it's not shoved in my face" attitude. I don't care who other people love.

[sub]Tho, I admit, it grates me to NO end to hear "that's gay". Learn a new insult, morons...[/sub]

 

[newuseforvintage]

I'm bi-sexual but I would say I 'lean' towards women. I was attracted to women from when I first started sexually maturing, it wasn't until I was around 17 - 18 that I started to look at men in the same sort of way.
Interestingly I find I look for opposite things in women to men.
As far as 'does sexuality matter?' i think so. You can't have a relationship without compatible sexuality.
