Well I like boobs, I like butts, and I do like vagina. It's just kinda gross. But, my girlfriends vagina can be pretty cute, when its not being all gross.TheSolemnHypnotic said:I mean absolutely no offense but, wth? You like women but not a major woman part? I'm confused.Hafrael said:
It's hard to explain in words, just gross.

To be honest, sex itself is pretty gross (whatever kind) if you think about it for too long.TheSolemnHypnotic said:I mean absolutely no offense but, wth? You like women but not a major woman part? I'm confused.Hafrael said:
Considering the crazy amount of attention and responses this thread has got, i wouldn't actually say you suck at making threads. Threads are and should be about topics of discussion. Topics where everyone agrees with each other is nowhere near as productive as something like this that gets everyone voicing their opinion. Just a thought.TheSolemnHypnotic said:
No need to go that far, just think about whether or not you'd annoy people with your post. And, if you wanna troll, go out of your way to do so. If not, try to avoid it. Incidently, I do feel like trolling so:TheSolemnHypnotic said:
Sexuality is a choice! Gay people should be converted!
[sup]obviously I don't actually feel that way, but if it pisses anyone off it will amuse me.[/sup]
Throwing the gauntlets down and knowing I'm gonna get flamed, but sexuality is a choice. It doesn't mean being gay is bad or that being straight is better or worse. It just means that where you put your private parts is a decision, therefore a choice. All those people who say they've been converted to heterosexuality through prayer and willpower. They have. All those people that say they've always wanted to be gay and finally come out leaving previous heterosexual relationships behind. They are. Stop trying to act as though you know something about what drives a person's personal decisions. You don't.
There is no gay gene. There is no straight gene. Why am I heterosexual? Well, technically since I've never engaged in any sexual activity with an actual person, I'm not. I'm just guessing at what I might like. Ever see a great looking dish on the menu and then come to the realization that you hate tacos (pun intended)? I'm not ruling that out. If I found a guy with a great job who was really into me and a million other factors came into play where we could have and would want to have a relationship, then yes, I'd probably want to fuck that guy. Same with women. This does not make me bisexual, since I stress, I've never had sex and I assume I would prefer to have it with a woman.
I can't debate anyone's feeling on their own sexuality, but if you say you are 100% unshakably heterosexual, then it sounds a little homophobic. And the converse sounds a little heterophobic. Because of all the extracurricular bullshit our society assigns to sexuality, we put up these walls and barriers to entry like it somehow matters and factors into our personalities.

Oh, well, thank you. I don't have the intention of hurting anyone's feelings I just wanted an open conversation about something that's been on my mind a lot lately. And I guess that is what I'm getting.Gralian said:
I'm straight because I'm a man who is physically attracted to women... to the point where I prefer my porn not to feature any men. I find the male form something of a turn-off.
But I'm apparently weird because I don't equate loving and caring with sex. I'm way closer to my friends and family than to any sexual partner I've ever had. As a character in a TV show once said:
"For me, sex is a sport. Like raquetball, you play hard for half an hour, you work up a sweat and hope you don't get hit in the eye."
The rest of it is just religious brainwashing.

With all due respect (and, you have mine - I was pleasantly surprised when I read your post) I think you are. I'm a heterosexual male, and I'm completely open to the idea of having some degree of "affection" for a man - I love my father, for example, and many of my closest friends are men - men with whom I've had better relationships overall than some women I've dated or otherwise had relations with. Most people are of the mindset that the best sexual relationships and "life partnerships" form out of friendship, and if one were to go by that criteria alone, then a vast majority of people's "best match" would, in fact, be a same-sex partner. However, I believe that we have to factor in sexuality - whether as a biological or psychological factor - to the initiation of a non-platonic relationship, because, well, that's what a "non-platonic" relationship is by definition. I refrain from judging others, but I am personally repulsed by the idea of having sexual relations with a man, and, like it or not, sexuality plays a very prominent role in my choice of person with whom I forge a relationship. My girlfriend is my best friend - I think she is intelligent, kind, and loving (words that can describe a man or woman), but I also think she is beautiful and very attractive in a feminine, strictly biological way. I'm not entirely sure what contributes to human perception of beauty and I won't philosophize about what that is, but, whether it's a result of my physical nature or my psychological development, I just like women, and specifically one woman. I can't help it.TheSolemnHypnotic said:TL
I'm sorry if that doesn't seem like a complete answer to your question, but that's what it boils down to. Part of my long list of criteria for a partner is physical attraction - as is most people's, I'm sure - and, for whatever reason, I am only attracted to women.
Is there any point to the colours on that graph?brandon237 said:Because that is how you are born, and genetically and socially conditioned. I cannot feel a romantic or sexual attraction to another guy, it doesn't work for me. For me a romantic relationship requires both a physical and emotional attraction, I can get both from a girl, but I only half of the one for a guy.
If you can feel a sexual, physical attraction for both genders, then youTheSolemnHypnotic said:most likelyare bisexual, hence you can relate to it better, a homosexual or heterosexual person will also relate to their stance more easily, it is human nature.
EDIT: I felt my diagram needs to be visible a little sooner, so I am also putting it on this page, I did not think to just edit this post, my bad.
I'm hetero because I just like the men-folk. Besides, I'm not a fan of my own gender and the last thing I would want to do it spend the rest of my life with one in that regard.
Call it biology, or whatever, but I am only attracted to guys, don't know why, but that's the way I'm wired.

When it comes to the Emotional Trouble Club, I consider myself an official member and founder. I got shut down at my own birthday when I was 10 and the scene has been chasing me ever since. I have had nightmares about this and I have never been in a relationship.
When it comes to the subject of gender, I am open-minded when it comes to others but not to me. I wouldn't have trouble with someone I know being homosexual but having my consort being a female (I sound like a fucking knight) is an image I had since I was 5. I was in love with the girl that shut me down for more than a decade. Your orientation is set in the early years of your life. What happens after that are just blocks that come on top of an already set base.
However, another way of knowing what orientation is what your reaction is when someone calls you a homo. I have been called one about 3 times by strangers. But all of that faded away when I kissed a girl for the first time. And let me tell you, bud, at that moment, I felt like the most masculine guy in the galaxy. And it felt good. So there you go.

I wasn't just talking about major religions, I call "love" a religion that has been sold by Hollywood since the minor education of the masses sent major religions somewhat out of vogue.Generic Gamer said:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type to trick a woman into bed, use her and toss her aside. I just care more about people I have things in common with and hang out with than the woman I happen to be having sex with.
I suppose that chemical you mentioned could be one reason I don't understand clingy women... but then, how do you explain female porn stars and other such sexpots? Is Oxytocin not present in them?
Thank you. I appreciate your honesty and elaboration.yesjam said:With all due respect (and, you have mine - I was pleasantly surprised when I read your post) I think you are.

Yes. Yes there is. The boldness of the colour indicates level of attraction. The actual colour indicates type of attraction. I try, I really do, any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.Baneat said:Is there any point to the colours on that graph?brandon237 said:Because that is how you are born, and genetically and socially conditioned.

I know I should have bolder lines across the center though going vertically and horizontally, to divide it into 4 sections.
I think I would be light to medium blue, OP it seems would be light purple from comments, but when life experience is added, slightly more on the blue side I would guess.
To make a simple standard like that as to the block one would be in is another reason why I have the colours
