I'm a heteroromantic omnidemisexual.

I don't understand why so many people are so uptight on people using such definitive and detailed labels cause no not everyone is completely straight., gay, bisexual, etc. and having no or little romantic interests is completely possible. I guess just the names are somewhat barbaric and complex though, but you should be able to label yourself as what you want tbh and not be judged or scrutinized for it....

Personally I recently came out gay and so far just saying that I'm gay/homosexual. Possibly leaning towards aromantic or demiromantic homosexual cause I don't know. I never really was interested in a romantic relationship with anyone and I feel most of my attractions were merely sexual and never romantically attractive . I feel like most of the time when I look at a gay I think about only having sexual relationships. Along with that I haven't had much crushes for at least 4 years. So i don't know, I'm still figuring some stuff for now I'm sticking with just gay though.
 
Asexual aromantic, maybe autochorissexual at the finest. The closest I have to loving anyone is the relationship between my closest friend (who's also ace/aro) and myself, as a very closely knit/platonic love. That's more than satisfying enough for me, and all that I could ever really want. Of course when I tried coming out as asexual/aro to my mom, she only gave me the "You'll change your mind eventually" statement in response. Ah well... But at least my brother understood me, which helps a ton.
 
Gay o/.

The thing about labels is they seem a lot more permanent than just explaining your 'now' situation, imo. I've always used the term gay, since I've come out, as that indicates my general area of preference - but that isn't to say there aren't times where I've felt aromantic or asexual or even romantically attracted to women, etc.

Homoromantic homosexual etc.etc. just seems to narrow down ones opportunity to be something other than that. Whilst it might be good for some, others may be pigeon holing themselves before they've really experienced life ><.

Other than for one's self identity, is it really important to label?
 
I just wonder how/why someone came up with all these terms in the first place.....like:

"autochorissexual"
"heterodextrous indyplatonic ambivertoromantic"

what the fuck do those even mean? Someone must've been really bored one day and was like "I'ma make up some new terms for sexual orientations, these sound good" or something.

Normally I just tell people I'm straight if asked.

If you want me to use all these fancy words, aromantic heterosexual would probably be the most accurate term.

isn't every word ever conceived "made up" when you think about it? (;

I think it's absolutely fucking silly to refuse to acknowledge what someone wants to be called, but, conversely, I think it's absolutely fucking silly that we've gone this far in describing certain things, sexuality included. however I think it's very petty and childish to call someone's self-described sexuality as stupid or a phase or whatever.

Autochorissexuality is basically you can get sexually aroused but don't want to do the nasty.

[PokeCommunity.com] I'm a heteroromantic omnidemisexual.

As for the other terms... it seems that sarcasm is afoot.

I'm a heterosexual female, although I really only find myself attracted to women. I don't have interest in engaging in sexual activity with women though. I don't exactly find myself physically attracted to me, however, not in any other way except in the view of "art". If that makes sense.

I accept anyone's sexual preferences, identities, etc. Whatever you think you are at the given moment is what you are. It might change, it might stay forever, you may learn more about yourself and define yourself in a different way. You may have a word for it that means the same thing as another word, but it's fine to me. At the end of the day we are all just people~

I ask you this: why should anyone have to go out of their way to acknowledge terms with no substance or real meaning? Instead of doing that, we could just get to the point and describe who we like, we really don't need super long terms, as others have said. Not everyone is the same, again like others said so why is there a problem in not wanting to acknowledge terms that you don't find to have any real substance?

I also don't recall calling it stupid or anything, don't know if anyone else did.

They do, though. They have a lot of meaning and substance in one's self-description. If you dislike them so much then by all means explain your sexuality in a few sentences, but doing it in a few words would be easier still, right?

There aren't a lot of terms at all. A handful of prefixes that are more than memorizable, that's it. Also, having someone pull a bunch of terms out of their ass is less than helpful and only compounds the confusion.

well they do have substance. correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be saying that we should do away with the terms and just describe, well, exactly what those same terms describe, but with more syllables. that is Impractical!

and sorry I didn't mean that you were calling them stupid. that was just a general aside.
 
I'm bisexual with preferences that depend largely on my mood. Sometimes, I want a man flavor. Mostly though, I want a lady flavor. I prefer the women. They're much prettier and more appealing with their body shapes to me.

Of course, looking at my history (I've only ever gone out with men), you would think I was heterosexual. It's not really something I think about very much though. If you are awesome, then I'll give you a chance. Regardless of your gender. Prove yourself to be unawesome, and your chance is revoked. Most of my friends have been heterosexual males, some heterosexual females. Hence why I've only gone out with men. In fact, I'm with a male right now. And in spite of his gender not being my favorite, it does not matter to me. He is awesome and I don't feel any others could match his uniqueness. I would not mind spending the rest of my life with him.
 
First of, no-one is going to understand the term Autochorissexuality, so why would you even use it? I get terms like homosexual, and aromantic, but Autochorissexuality, really?

Second, I'm very curious, does anyone know of a Heteroromantic homosexual, or a homoromantic heterosexual?
 
I'm a heterosexual male. However, I can see that another male is physically attractive, although I'm not sexually attracted the male sex.

There is something that I'm curious about too. There are times where I don't find women in general sexually or physically attractive. I don't exactly know how to describe how I feel when I experience this other than, I guess empty?
 
I like having specific terms, and I think it's cool that people know themselves well enough to define themselves with something specific like aromantic or demisexual. But I don't think we should force people to identify/classify themselves with these terms or force people to abandon them. Define yourselve however you want or don't define yourself if you feel the "boxes" created by these terms would be too limiting. Hope that makes sense.

I guess I'm straight, because I know I like guys but I haven't really questioned it. I guess I would also be demisexual.
 
Hot dang, let the people call themselves whatever they want, whether it's vague or detailed.

I'm a hetero female. Never really took the time to look into all these sexualities to pin down what I'd specifically call myself, so I choose "default" n_n. Demisexual probably, which isn't surprising, since that could apply to just about anyone who halfway respects their body and gives a care about who's allowed to touch or not.
