Have you tried online dating? I met a nice guy and we seem to be doing quite well. Met him a couple days a go and things are going steady.

Kind of not ready for that just yet. Maybe someday, but that day most definitely isn't today. Best of luck for the both of you gentlemen. ~

Thanks a bunch

 

And it dosent hurt to just make a quick profile and see whats out there. Just creep on people. Eventually something will come of it.

 

 

Are you too young to be on online dating sites. If you are just be careful. Lots of creeps on there.

Bisexual :3 It's comforting to see the amount of people on here who don't judge others by their sexuality, there is still far too much of that in today's society.

[Jadefire 2,797]

I'm straight but I'm also extremely perverted. I was unsure of my sexuality for a while until I understood that I had no attraction to guys. However I don't mind people of other sexualities, one of my best friends is gay.

One of the things I don't understand about gay people is how/why they develop those stereotypical accents that are kind of higher pitched and girlish. Because someone who I know who is gay does sound like that. Can someone who is gay explain it to me please?

 

It's called camp, and it's only a very small minorty who act like that. However, it is extremely strange and very visible, so it's only the camp gays that straight people ever notice. This gives the illusion that most gays act like that, since it's the only thing straights ever think about.

 

As for why they're like that to begin with: my opinion is that since being gay is such a stigma, after a while you eventually stop giving a fuck what the societal norms say, and you feel more comfortable embracing strange and off-putting cultures.

[Coco Pommel 669]

my opinion on the voices: i think that gay men tend to spend alot of their time with females, doing feminine things. eventually their voices change a bit to reflect how the people around them sound, maybe subconsciously trying to blend in with the other females around them? i dont know for sure. i have gay friends that dont sound like that, and they cant answer the question for me either, so its all speculation. fuck it, i dont know. im just guessing lol

 

its like moving to a new country in a sense. you eventually develop the accent from exposure to the natives.

 

I don't know how to answer that very well. I think I have -kind of- an effeminate voice, but there is almost nothing sexual that I can't feel attraction towards, as long as it's with people my age and no one is doing anything they don't want to do, which you could link to polysexuality (a term I learned is used as an umbrella for bisexuality and pansexuality). But I'd hate to link myself and others to stereotypes, especially since gay stereotypes didn't really crop up until the twentieth century. It didn't take until the 1890's for doctors to create the terms homosexual and heterosexual. Before then, the concept of homosexuality was talked about and condemned upon, but anyone could have been homosexual. So, gay stereotypes have actually changed. In fact, during the renaissance, a big part of being "manly" was being bisexual.

 

I don't think you or anyone should think about it too much. Sexuality doesn't represent how people look and act. Just be yourself.

im just making a shot in the dark here, i honestly have no idea why some of the gay guys take on a feminine higher pitched voice. i hope i didnt offend, that wasnt my intention.

 

i agree too, dont think too much about anything and just enjoy being you. getting to know yourself is part of the fun of life, so go out and find your cutie mark.

[Hansel 1,512]

What exactly does "pansexual" mean anyway, in what way does it differ from bisexuality? As I know it can be defined as attraction to personality, but doesn't that mean you don't really care about gender (like in bisexuality)? I'm confused.

 

Pansexuality is essentially bisexuality but with a different mindset. Bisexuals generally like both sex's, but they still think about a person's sex or gender. A bisexual may or may not like one sex more then the other, and may or may not be attracted to transgendered and transsexual people. A pansexual is "gender blind", so they don't care at all about a person's sex or there gender. They're equally open to males, females, male/women and female/men. A bisexual can still be open to everyone equally, but they still have feelings towards sex or gender.

 

The misconception is that pansexuals are people who are attracted towards males and females, as well as transgendered and transsexual people, whilst bisexuals are only attracted towards males and females who are cisgendered, but that isn't strictly true.

 

Hope that made sense. :3

I know this is my third post here but I just wanted to say just because I'm only attracted to guys doesn't mean seeing two girls having sex is disgusting to me. It just is no turn on :3 Something that annoys me is how some hetero guys are like lesbians are so hot but hate gays :/

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

I like girls, a lot, but I've sort of given up on them for now. I've had one serious girlfriend and am not looking for a new one. Even if that happens, marriage and kids are not in the cards. I'm not father material and I'm honest enough to admit it.

 

I don't see how people are BORN into a sexuality, it is something formed by thoughts and choices throughout ones life that affect their judgement and reasoning until they reach a point of deciding that they want to be a certain sexuality.

 

Yes, I distinctly recall when I "decided" I wanted to be heterosexual. It had nothing to do with me liking girls ever since I could remember (5 years old). -_- Let's not replace one black-and-white statement with another. If people aren't literally born into a sexuality, they don't consciously decide on one either. Edited November 18, 2012 by TailsAlone

Perhaps I should and could have worded my statement better.

 

But, along with ones own thoughts and consequential thoughts after such, a pth is formed by such in ones mind. There are a number of pother things that factor in with the desicion of sexuality. More so that it may not technically be a choice in the end. Such as the way one was raised and voices of parents or ect that caused one to think the way they do. Surrounding and enviroment, along with social media at a very young age, or perhaps later all contribute.

 

Like as you stated, you have liked girls all your life, which is I am assuming directly affiliated with the social norms and own actions and thoughts you produced. along with the other things listed above.

 

One is not simply born with a desire to be with a specific gender. Genetics do not decide how you will act and think 100%.

[MeowLord Noraasha 135]

I think it's a mix of both your choice and genetics. You may be born with some predispositions to liking those and not other genders but I think that everything that you did in your life and everything you experienced have influence on it. And btw I think that people can change themselves for good with some work put into it, the way they think and pretty much everything about themselves.

 

And interesting question for you: If any human would be raised in closed area ( a box), would he also have any sex drive, not knowing object of his interests that was programmed into his genes?

I'm heterosexual.

 

I'm also perfectly fine with other people having other sexualities. As long as everyone is happy with themselves, then I'm fine with it. I'm not the person to judge others based on something other than the way they behave against me.

I implore you to provide some information as to how genetics actually has anything to do with sexuality.

You are not born with a certain way of thinking. Genetics may alter slightly your ability to think and your decision making, but does not implant ideas prematurely.

 

Yes, it is true that even if we are raised up to believe something, find ourselves believeing it, and want to change eventually, we can. Including sexuality.

 

As for the box scenario, yes the person would still have a sex driive I assume, as it is basic instinct to want to have sex. But the person would not know of any other persons and therefore would not be attracted to any specific gender.

Oh yes, I forgot about the day I consciously decided to find men and women sexually attractive.

 

Kind of like that time I decided that liking tangerines was a ridiculous hobby, and told my taste buds to knock it off.

Edited November 18, 2012 by Hansel

[roptiriolg 49]

I think the best way to define what you are is how you're feeling towards guys/girls. Sure, in some moments I may feel some sexuality towards guys as long as they are also cute looking and all but the feelings I have towards girls is definitely much stronger and a whole different thing than merely a sexual desire. So Heterosexual here.

I'm bisexual myself, while I swing more towards women I dont really mind a bit of both.

It's weird though, while I like the best of both worlds, I dont particularly find myself into the idea of both at the same time :L (TMI...sorry xD)

[CloudsdaleCompanion 342]

I voted for unsure.

 

"How could one be unsure about something like this?" one might ask. Well simple: On the one hand side I somewhat feel attracted to (very few) other guys, however I'm not sure if I would ever commit to a relationship or even just go on a date with one.

 

Even though the majority of society would accept such a thing, my own morals just say no.

 

On the other hand I would go out with a girl, but for some reason I'm not quite as attracted to girls as I am to boys. I've thought about the possibility of being Bi, but then I would be sure about liking both genders and the thing is, well, I'm not sure yet.

 

Since I'm still in puberty this might all change but for now, unsure it is.

You are being sarcastic, correct?

 

What I am trying to say is it isnt a Conciuos choice you make but it isnt something you are born with either.

It is like how you form an opinion based on bias that you have based on everything that has happened since you can remember.

Well, some guys feel more comfortable acting and looking more feminine, and some girls feel more comfortable acting and looking more masculine. I certainly have a feminine side myself, which I look at as a part of me.

[Chaosmagic 12]

To the subject of choice.

I don't think sexuality is a choice at all.

Is like saying your skin colour is a choice xD

Also I don't think that it's possible to change your sexuality by yourself.

You are what you are and you have to deal with that.

Can't change the way you look for the most part either.

If I had the choice I would not like guys cause then I would have it easier with being accepted and such.

[The-Master 1,176]

And here I am, sitting at my computer, looking at how all you guys are talking about who you find sexually attractive and what is right and wrong about certain relationships. Here I am, sitting at my computer, wondering what the hell are they talking about?

 

Then I remember, "Oh right, I'm Asexual."

 

It seems to be a common misconception that people seem to think 'Oh, you're asexual. Does that mean you never want to have sex?' "No, it just means there is no desire to have intercourse with a partner, male or female." This is a minor gripe, but overall I have nothing against any sexuality, I will just never understand you. I still do romantic RP's, but I honestly suck at those.

 

Have a nice day.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

I'm honestly surprised there are so many non-straight people. I never realized how many people were actually bisexual, asexual, etc. I would have thought that like at least 80% of people would be straight, but according to this poll, it's more like 60%.

 

I'm straight by the way.

I have a feeling you're gay. I could be wrong, but I was LITERALLY the exact same way when I was first, well, finding out. =P Anyway, don't let me pressure you into your sexuality lol, this isn't sound reasoning just a hunch.

Well you can be asexual and still have a relationship.

If you also don't want any relationship then it would be aromantic and asexual.

Seems like you like guys in a sexual way

but girls in a romantic way.

Also what moral do you have that you can't accept being attracted to a guy?

( can't be a good moral imo but I'm not judging)
