Sexuality / Being uptight

[Snowden's Secret]

1.1) I wouldn't have a problem with it, so Yes, I would be down with that.
2) I haven't tried yet, but I like to think that I can talk about it.
3) I don't let their views influence me, but I don't really do anything to convince them otherwise unless they say something REALLY derogatory.

The only reason I would not share a bed with another guy is:

* I don't want to wake up in the morning with a piece of morning wood jammed into my back!!

1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?

Yes, if I know them. It might be a bit weird if I don't know the person, but I'd be okay with it. And have been, for that matter, on various trips and such where a bunch of us share a hotel room.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?

To an extent. You have to understand (or at least you should, though many people refuse), for some people, sex is an important thing in relationships, indicative of intense marriage-level commitment. Under that meaning, sex takes on a certain level of sanctity, if you will; it is a good thing, but only when used in the right context and for the right reasons. This means, based on this worldview, that it can be talked about and discussed, but should be treated as the important and valuable thing that it is (not that this eliminates the intermittent "that's what she said"). So I can openly discuss it (unlike what most people seem to think about people like me, I do think it's an amazing and valuable thing), but I do not agree with how flippantly our culture as a whole treats the subject.

3) How do you act around up-tight people?

I just... don't talk about sex. It's not tough. No "that's what she said" jokes or anything like that; try to avoid the subject altogether, and if it comes up, treat it with the importance and reverence for which the subject calls.

1.1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?

I wold have no problem with it, so yes.

1.2) If no, what bothers you about it?

No need to answer this one for me.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?

Yeah, though I respect it if some people feel uncomortable talking about it.

3) How do you act aroundd up-tight people?

I either ignore them or try to make them understand. Failing the latter, I do the former or just don't bring it up.

 

[Rusman]

1.1) Have done before o a few occasions
1.2) n/a
2) Yup, usually joke around about it with friends all the time
3) Usually just respect there decisions and then ignore them. let them be boring

1: I'd have a problem sharing my bed with pretty much everybody. I want to sleep comfortably

I was assuming it was a decent sized bed. I'd have trouble sharing a smaller bed with someone. Well, specifically, I'd have trouble falling asleep. I certainly wouldn't have trouble sharing it though.

TS said the beds were barely big enough for 1 person. I'd say "dibs" as fast as I could and take the bed
Falling out in mid-sleep sucks.

If the bed was big enough I wouldn't mind

Then I guess it would just depend on who the other person was and how necessary sleep was. Also, it would definitely help if the bed was up against a wall.

 

[Outright Villainy]

1)I've done it before a couple of times, either after a concert when there's a lack of beds, or at a house party and there's a lack of beds. The only thing that bothers me would be the lack of space, because all beds are for tiny people.

2) Yes, I can talk pretty damn openly about sex, but to my friends, or anonymously online (like here) Though as long as I'm not going into any details, I'd talk about sex with anyone.

3) Depends on how so. If they don't like talking about sex, I'm hardly going to force the issue. If they're judgemental about promiscuity or the like, then I'll probably try and debate with them.

 

[GrinningManiac]

1. I'd make sure I couldn't do anything with the situation, because I'd be annoyed if I had to share a bed and then found out that there was one, say, of those fold-up beds in the cupboard I could have used. If not then, yeah, I guess so.

2. -

3. I feel if someone asked me, I would be okay with discussing it. But, generally, my friends and I don't talk about that. We don't even swear, 'cus our conversations are usually a bit too cerebral (or goofy/childish) to swear without making it sound like we're swearing because we're 'grown-ups'.

4. Depends how stuck-up. If you're talking "so stuck up they're repulsed by the very notion that someone, somehwere at some point in history MIGHT have POSSIBLY THOUGHT about having sex" then I'd leave, because I'd have accidently walked into a Presbyterian church. ZING

 

[Chris Jensen]

1.1) I have actually shared a bed with both the same an opposite sex at the same time. We didnt have sex though I would not have minded much because I am a perv and bi-sexually oriented ;P
Unsolicited sex is not cool no matter what plumbing the other person has so it barely seems necessary to add that.

1.2) moot

2) no problem at all (a sentiment possibly not shared by the people within earshot of me)

3) unashamed and perplexed as to why THEY are "that way"

 

[SimuLord]

1.1) No. Just...no.
1.2) Besides me being straight and most of my male friends being gay? It's just...not right. I can barely sleep by myself without a distraction like that.
3) I don't talk too openly about sex (outside of this forum, where the anonymity of the Internet makes an excellent filter for my twisted mind). I tend to scare people when I do.
4) Did someone say "uptight"?

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

I would not share my bed with anyone, unless it was very necessary, because in my experience people I am sleeping in the same room with always make a degree of noise that wakes me up. I can only sleep well when there is little or no sound.

I talk about 2.) rarely and I generally avoid stuck-up people.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

I have absolutely no personal bubble. I don't care who's in my bed, I'm gonna fucking sleep in it.

1: Yes, I don't care if its another dude in the bed.

2: -

3: Yeah, I have no problem talking about anything to anyone.

4: If they're not cool with something, I drop it. Its their choice. Who am I to try to change their mind?

 

[mmffgg]

1) I haven't really had to yet, I don't really think I would have a problem, but they might since I roll around a lot. :3
2) Yep.
3) I generally don't talk to them... But if I do, I'll just avoid it so as to avoid conflict.

 

[HT_Black]

1: Yeah, I don't really mind, long as he keeps all his clothes on.
2: Nothing here, you know?
3: And how.
4: I don't really know many of those folks...

 

[Kije]

1. Sure, I'm cool with it, except I'm still going to wear my clothes.
2) I was raised in a cave for 3 years of my life. I kinda missed those family life classes.
3) I don't really have a problem with anyone unless they intend to get in the way of my goals.

 

[Dags90]

1.) I'm gay so duh, but yea. I've even shared beds with other gay men and not had sex with them. True story. I'm a light sleeper though, don't particularly like sharing a bed.
2.) More or less. I usually choose not to, though.
3.) I have plenty of other interests, so it doesn't have to be a big deal.

 

[Dexiro]

1) Would you share your bed with a person of the same sex?

Hell yeah! But I'd share a bed with the opposite sex too, doesn't really bother me.

2) Can you openly talk about sex or sexuality?

Yep, I probably talk about it a little too much sometimes. My boundaries shift all over the place depending on my mood.

3) How do you act around up-tight people?

I can't stand them at all. I stopped talking to one of my friends because it bugged me so much about how uptight he is. It just constantly struck me that he was worried about everything making him look "gay", which just made me feel uncomfortable.

 

[Wintermoot]

1. as long as he isnt a stereotypical gay guy (you know like Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh abriged)
2.
3.not that much
4. live and let live unless its one of thosegays-make-baby jesus-cry guys then I would punch him/her in the face

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

1.1) Yes and have done on several occasions
1.2) -
2) Yeah to friends, not parents or generally older people.
3) 'Well fuck you *****' (applies to man or woman, I call everyone a ***** equally)
