What's your sexuality?
I'm kind of unsure of what mine is. I know I have some bi-curious tendencies. I also think I might be pansexual as well, but I'm not exactly sure. Though, I do know I'm currently asexual. I identify more with being straight than bi, so it's rather difficult to determine if I might actually be bi as well. :x
So, anyway... what is your sexuality? Why do you feel you identify with it more than others? How long have you know you are that sexuality (or sexualities)? Do you ever run into problems being what you are at times? Discuss~ Also, please don't tease or make fun of others for what they are. Please keep PC rules in mind when posting here. We don't want others to feel like they don't belong here for being a certain sexuality, do we? |
I've been straight all my life. There was a time when I went through a phase when I was questioning my sexuality and got a little bi-curious. But that didn't last long though. I just realized that I simply cannot live without men. :P
I know there's like...different varieties of what people identify themselves. For now I just call myself straight. haha. |
I've never questioned my straightness
|
Why isn't there a pole?
Anyway, I'm bisexual and I have known for 2 1/2 years... I had some internalized homo/biphobia, so for years I was completely in denial about being anything but straight. There was even a time when I thought that I was asexual because there were no handsome males where I lived and girls were out of the question anyway so yeah... I've come a long way and I'm happy to say that I've accepted myself completely and the whole sexuality stuff is not much of an issue for me anymore. Have I run into any problems? Well, yes, I have. Telling Mom was hard and she's still acting really weird about it so much that I kind of wish I hadn't told her. Other than that, I think being bisexual is the most difficult out of all the sexualities. We get hatred from both sides even though I have to say that most straight people I've met were cool with it. I think it's kind of sad to say this but most discrimination I have encountered was from lesbians. And here's thinking being part of a minority would make you more accepting of other minorities... Besides all that, I've been pretty OK though. All my friends are fine and in support of it so that's really great :3 |
One method of telling what the sexuality of a person is by the length of their index and ring fingers. Since my ring fingers are longer than my index fingers, I am a straight male.

I'm asexual. Didn't put a name to my sexuality (or lack thereof?) until I was close to 20, though.
I spent most of my life conforming to the wants and needs of others in that department, so I never explored how I felt about sexuality until I had no one to conform to. To be honest it's been a rough ride since learning that... because I think most sexual people find us boring or question if our sexuality is valid. That's just my experiences though, so please don't take offense to that. I mean no insult haha. |
I.. don't know.
Lately, as in over the past few months, stuff has come up that has really had me questioning my sexuality again. And the fact that I'm in a committed, heterosexual relationship isn't making things any easier. I mean, since I'm not actively searching for a romantic or sexual partner, shouldn't that mean that I'm just straight while with him? Is it possible to be a lesbian attracted to one, single man? Because sometimes that's how I feel. It's not just indifference, but repulsion I feel towards men at times; with the exception of this one particular person. And.. I don't know. All of this is just complicated and I seriously don't even have the time on my hands to figure it out. I've been going with "I'm bi" or maybe even pan for a long time, but my attraction ratio is more like 90f/10m as opposed to 50/50 and it just kind of has me wondering what exactly I call myself. Obviously the label means nothing, I don't need a name on my sexuality to feel okay with it; but I feel like it's a step in the right direction to understanding my feelings better and finding a place where I can draw support from. It probably feels more complicated than it really is, hmm. |

I do think that a lot of this could be due to androgynous J-rocker boys too. There's one by the name of Hizaki who dresses and actually literally looks like a girl. People are always confusing him as one if they don't get the Visual Kei scene. I find myself attracted to him a lot more because he's absolutely beautiful, even if he's not a girl either (He's not transexual either. It's just... VK is a confusing type of J-rock sub genre...). I don't really know exactly where I fall, and that's why I've always questioned myself. I mean, other than considering myself being asexual. Also, I do think women are beautiful, don't get me wrong. What I mean is like... i don't find them attractive in terms of wanting a relationship with one if that makes sense... |
Honestly I'm fairly confident in identifying as pansexual. So pretty much any human can be attractive to me; however I'm also demisexual as well; this is kind of like being asexual some of the time...I have to get fairly comfortable with someone first to really feel any significant attraction for them. Luckily this isn't difficult; but that's just how I am. forever cursed to fall in love with friends x3

Then again if you experience sexual attraction to women without needing a bond there first, perhaps it's not the right term. Perhaps nothing is, but don't stress it.. it's okay to have exceptions. :) |
I like guys -- the sweet ones; bad boys need not apply. The pretty boy aesthetic always gets me.

Gay af till the day I die Funny thing is, about 5/6 years ago I met my first gay friend on PC and without them I prolly wouldn't have realized for at least another year or so http://33.media.tumblr.com/c07e74ef91e0afd40c7aacd9fc640121/tumblr_n5ggkzvc211rfduvxo1_500.gif |
I'm a gay man unfortunately.
I'd much rather be asexual than anything but I'll live. |
Since I've posted in every one of these I know of I might as well do it again. :P
I'm an Aromantic Asexual. |
Demisexual and agender without a doubt (or maybe a little doubt, but I am 95% sure)
I just recently came out to my family, and they took it pretty hard. I've been questioning for about 2 years, though. |

I'm demisexual, meaning I am only sexually attracted to someone that I have made a close emotional connection with. It's not something I really tell people because it's one of those sexualities that people often consider fake or something just made up to seem unique or gain attention, but I can honestly say that I'm not sexually attracted to people. I don't see some muscular shirtless man and immediately drool. I don't really think much of it at all. I have only been interested in acknowledging any sexual way with those that I formed a strong emotional tie with. Sex has always been something that isn't high on my priority list and something I never exactly cared for and I've always felt that, for me anyway, sex should be an emotional thing as well as physical. I still haven't had sex, so sometimes I think I might just be completely asexual because I'm just that uninterested in it most of the time, even if I have an SO. lol WELP! Don't date me.
For whatever it's worth though, I am only interested in men. But yeah. |
I'm a gay male, never had any problems with it and everyone's generally been very accepting when I've told them so I've been lucky there! I have a boyfriend whom I'm living with and have generally had a pretty easy life in terms of sexuality (of course there have been bad crushes/relationships etc in the past but I'm pretty sure straight people have those too ;p) so I don't really have any complaints - I'm happy with who I am. :D

I like to identify as "Queer," because I feel that gives people the essential idea they need to know about my sexuality - that is, not straight - while still leaving it open for anything to change if it does. Not that it has, I've only truly felt homosexual attraction. I feel sometimes that I might be biromantic, because when I reflect upon certain women, I think I might have had mental or emotional attraction to them. But it doesn't beat when I'm attracted to men, woo golly nope sir some are too pretty woah now. Quote:

I can date anyone really. I'm just not interested in any sexual relationships. I'm open to every gender, although I previously identified as gay (lol).
|
I'm a demisexual demiboy. Basically what Alli defined as "only sexually attracted to someone that I have made a close emotional connection with". Demiboy - Born as a girl and still identify myself as one, but I still feel partially boy... Demifluid even...? yeah still figuring out myself on that last one...

I am bisexual with no preference, and I've been knowing since I was like 12 or 14, but only accepted it until like 3 years ago. I do have a few problems, and most of it really comes to real life because of where I live where a good majority of people treat anyone who isn't hetero as though they are a murderer, and it has made it really difficult for me to tell someone in real life that I am, it makes me want to hide it, and it does make me feel uncomfortable being around people who would treat me as a murderer. I also lost a few friends because of it, all of which because they couldn't accept me for who I am because of it or, in the case of one person, offend me, and that one person offended me by saying that it was disgusting that I was bisexual and it offended me (Mostly because of the way he said it) not only because he said that it was "disgusting", but also because he lied about saying that he was "okay that I was" at first and tried to cover it up when he said that he found it "disgusting". Honestly I can deal with losing friends because of my bisexuality because it's not really a loss for me, I'll miss spending time and talking to them, but I can always find people who are much better friends, and I can live with hiding my sexuality in real life (For now, that is), sure if I do find a guy that I really like it would be difficult to go out with them, but it won't be impossible

I'm straight. There are complications (that I am not willing to talk about) as far as the specific kind of women I am attracted to, but as far as male-female goes, definitely straight.

I'm 100% boring, vanilla straight. I'm attracted solely to women both physically and romantically though things are a bit complicated in that regard due to the specific person I am interested in haha.

I also wanted to say that being bisexual doesn't have to be 50/50, it can be 80/20, 90/10, 40/60 or whatever. I think most bisexuals have a preference for one gender. Of course, I don't want to label you. It's all up to you. Labels are just what they are... labels. Don't try to push yourself into something. You can call yourself whatever you want. If you feel more like a lesbian then that's completely OK. Someone also mentioned the demisexual thing. That might also be something you could have a look at. But seriously, don't worry so much about it. You will find out eventually. |
