Why are you hetero or homosexual?...

[Slash Dementia]

I cannot be attracted to the same sex. I find men to be quite annoying simply because they're male. There's nothing to attract me to them at all, and I don't like the male body. If I did find a male friend who made me feel however times better than my girlfriend, then I still wouldn't leave her because I would never be able to have a romantic relationship with another male. One reason for that is that I want children at some point, and I want them to be of my lover and me.

I've got nothing against men being with other men or women being with other women, but it's just not for me.

TLR: How is it you're only heterosexual/homosexual? Am I completely over looking/ undermining the physical/sexual attraction aspect of relationships?

You are. But that's OK, everyone makes mistakes and overlooks things sometimes.

Edit: No, I've never been in a romantic relationship. [I know nothing about sex].

I find it hard to believe you'd know NOTHING about sex. Didn't you have... a health class by now?

Edit II: Why do people keep thinking I said sexuality is a choice? If you get that impression I clearly need to have my post beta'd.

Another thing you need to learn here. Most people don't actually read the posts. They look at the topic, poll (if one exists) then post.

Edit III: Turn your Auto-Defense off! I'm not trying to convert everyone into a bisexual.

Actually, it looks more like you're trying to convert people to PANsexuality.

Edit IV: Is there a way to turn the anger off in here?

No, there isn't. You cannot turn off the anger. Which is sad.

Edit V: I KNOW FOR MOST PEOPLE SEXUALITY IS NOT A CHOICE.

I honestly don't know anyone who chose their sexuality.

Edit VI: There is no way I am the only 16-year-old who has never been in a relationship.

You can't be, but most people have been in one by then.

Edit VII: Perhaps I should lay off the threads. I suck.

No you don't. Unless you want to...

hetro due to nature itself.

but if nature was really smart, there would not be any gays.

Not true it works perfectly for bonobos and many other species, and it's a great way to keep the population down. Especially for animals that need sexual relief (basically any animal that goes in heat).
You're assuming that sex only functions for reproduction and that all animals need to reproduce. Both assumptions are naive, sex is a great way to establish social standings and for many species it's very healthy, and (besides humans) all species reproduce less when their environment demands it.

recreation is fun but its an alternative use, not what my wang was, technically speaking, designed for.

Again you assume that your 'wang' was solely created for reproduction. That assumption is simpely false. Like I stated earlier sex serves more purposes then just reproduction, and with that so does your 'wang'. Think about it for a second would you? Why whould a man be able to 'reproduce' several times a day, while a woman can only give birth once every 9 months? If nature only intended your wang to be used for reproduction, then it wouldn't have wasted energy so that you can use it basically whenever you feel like. The idea that nature 'technically speaking' designed your penis (I got tired of wang) just for reproduction is simpely wrong.
Nature is really smart, and therefor a certain precentage of the population is homosexual. If socioty was really smart, they would accept that.

Your post was very informative, as I never thought of that. Also, your boyfriend seems pretty wise. Most people would just try to completely ignore those thoughts. And you're smart for recognizing why you were looking at other females. Thank you!

Oh, I'd also like to add, ignore the people who are overreacting and misinterpreting what you're saying. You're on an internet forum, so there's no way to avoid it. I found that it was perfectly clear, for example, that you weren't ignoring bisexuality (and seemed to be wondering if you were bisexual) and that you weren't trying to convince anyone of anything. You've said nothing wrong in your OP and I've seen your replies to some overly-angry posters, and you didn't even really need to defend yourself because their points were often invalid. I give you some serious kudos for handling such comments with such a level head. I hope this topic has at least helped to answer some of your questions.

Well, thank you for the support and advice. I have learned a lot from this thread and hope other people have too.

Thank you everyone who has posted and read this topic. I have learned a lot about myself and others and I hope you have to. The Escapist is a wonderful community and I hope to stay here for a very long time.

I am heterosexual because I just am.

I do not find men attractive. I find women very attractive. It's not a choice for me, it's just how I feel.

Simples.

 

[General BrEeZy]

I'm your average Heterosexual Male. and I cant see myself any other way...

im not hatin here, but i dont see how any Male mind can NOT be attracted to Women. I mean...WOMEN! MAN I LOVE WOMEN!!! how can a man NOT dig those Luscious Creatures?!?!?!?

but yeah, im straight. nuff said.

 

[Sidiron]

Bisexual and happy, probably due to genetics but why worry about why I am.
As long as all people can appreciate the aesthetic of humanity without having to add on "but not in a gay way." I'll be happy

OP, you seem like a decent fellow, and is a shame people hate someone asking a question, just ignore them like the rest of us

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Eh, I'm asexual, I don't think I can handle a serious relationship (for... personal... reasons), and sex is WAY overrated in my opinion...

 

[SckizoBoy]

Eh, I'm asexual, I don't think I can handle a serious relationship (for... personal... reasons), and sex is WAY overrated in my opinion...

That would depend on how you view sex... for example, I distinguish between 'sex' and 'making love' and they serve different purposes (for me at least, cliched, yes, but quite true in my case).

OT: Anyway, I'm sexually ambiguous, because I've had three straight relationships and one was... basically homosexual without the sex. So I'm hetero, but indulge in romantic friendships with other guys. I don't know why I'm this way, I find myself comfortable making out with guys and girls alike (facial hair notwithstanding, though I've had the same thing said back to me). Perhaps I just need to find the right guy to pop that particular cherry, I don't know, or perhaps it's because I'm still hung up on a particular girl. *shrug*

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Why am I a (celibate) heterosexual? Genetics, social conditioning, the mere thought of naked dudes making me want to gouge my own eyes out, take your pick really. For all that my sexual orientation is largely academic, I just cannot think of guys that way, I'm not wired to find anyone but women to be attractive.

I don't like dicks. I do like vajayjays. End of story.
