Ah, apologies then, I misread your post...slightly. But yea, my answer stands. People are born the way they're born. Most people actually are only attracted to one gender or the other, not because "we like cutting our options in half", but because we just aren't. There's no really way to explain it, other than that's just how we work. I would say you should just get out more often, try to date someone, etc. It really will help you get more perspective on the matter.TheSolemnHypnotic said:I'm sorry I come off that way. I just thought I could ask this question (which I've thought of for years to perhaps have a better understanding of myself. And if anything I'd only wish to appear naive.Grey_Focks said:
Hup! Soapbox time! Been saving this little musing for a while, think it's about time it got shared.
The fanatics need to be believe that sexuality is a choice. Their holy book tells them homosexuality is a sin, so for them, it has to be a choice. Saying someone can be born a sinner goes against the whole "caring god" thing.
It's kind of sad, when you think about it, ignoring the obvious truth to address blatant inconsistencies in fairy tales, but what can you do, really?

Well, if you've never been in a romantic relationship then it can be hard to explain, I find it hard to justify it to myself why I spent the whole of last summer getting off with my girlfriend. It just feels "right", I couldn't force myself to be in a homosexual relationship, I don't care how much I like that man, men=friends women=girlfriends, it just seems to feel right to me.TheSolemnHypnotic said:
I'm sorry but he didn't explain anything, he merely stated he was not attracted to women. That's what you claimed you couldn't understand - someone not being attracted to someone else due to their genitalia.TheSolemnHypnotic said:
It all smacks of you giving up your argument because barely anyone agrees with you.
I am heterosexual because that was the way the genes in me are shaped.
Other than that, I know nothing.

I'm actually an asexual individual. I have no sexual draw towards males or females at all. To be honest, as impossible as some people may think it, I consciously made myself this way.tomme69 said:
To give a brief description, I used to be straight, but when I was younger (In school), I despised how sexual my classmates were towards one another. All anybody would talk about was sex, or who they hooked up with. It made me sick, and so I thought that "liking girls" or "liking boys" would mean to become like the people I hated.
Every single day I SWORE I would never be like the people I hated, and when you tell yourself something with such passion and such absolute conviction, then it will become fact.
Your sexuality isn't "hardwired". You have biological tendencies, but even your biological makeup can be changed with the power of your mind.
There's been reports (As reported by famous professional success coach, Anthony Robbins) that some individuals with split-personality disorder have literally changed their very eye color, and eliminated certain diseases within their own body, such as lactose intolerance. These amazing feats occur simply because when they become another person, that personality has ABSOLUTE CONVICTION that it's real, and that he or she is it's own person.
People will just spew "No, it's how you're born!" without thinking twice, because they have a "progressive" mentality and either don't know any better, or are too foolish to bother to ask questions and learn more about the subject that they're pretending to be an authority on. These people are foolish and should bother doing some semblance of research, rather than thinking that because a bunch of people say it, or their best friend says it, that it's inherently fact.
As for me? I'm a very rare exception. Changing your sexuality is no small feat, and it takes much more than WANTING it to happen, it takes, just as with those with split-personalities, ABSOLUTE CONVICTION. You have to KNOW that you're going to change, not just HOPE that you will. The rest is just persistence and patience.
Having said all of this, I don't condone changing your sexuality if you don't want to. There's no reason. Why should you change it if changing it isn't going to make you any happier?
As for the actual thread topic... Being asexual, I can only say that I'll love a specific person, regardless of their gender, so on some level I can definitely relate to you.
What's extreme and gross about it? They're people, some of them will be around 'your age' and of the right gender for you. But you don't feel anything romantic/sexual towards them, why not? Because your brain says no. It's the same thing.TheSolemnHypnotic said:
I look at a woman's body and I prefer it.
There is also a large part of my brain that doesn't enjoy the thought of my **** in a guy's *** as much as my **** in a woman's ******.
I've always believed that the only difference between a best friend and a girl/boyfriend is sexual attraction.

Yeah, it sounds like what you have done is merely to take a vow of abstinance, rather than ceasing to be attracted to things.Heartshield said:
Unless you had some kind of operation, you can't simply turn off your sex drive.
