hetrosexuality is physical attraction to the opposite gender asexuality would be lack of physical attraction
When did I say there was a lack of physical attraction? I just said no physical attraction to the same sex.
Yes, that's right. The question is: is the subject in question attracted to the opposite gender? In his comment, Yami only asked what it was called to be emotionally, but not physically attracted to someone of the same gender. My point was that, even if the person in question is not physically attracted to someone of the same gender, they could still be physically attracted to someone of the opposite gender. Greater specification within the question is required to render a more comprehensive answer. EDIT: Point, Dilly.
I don't know, I guess its just when I think about it... Firstly, Christian family. I am expecting high amounts of hate if I say I am not straight (yet, before February, I thought I was) I'm physically attracted to females, never had a female relationship, and view a person as a person, not a gender when it comes to partnership. I suppose bicurious would the be closest I am in terms of physical attractiveness. Yet, the personality is always first for me. I have no regrets in being the person I'm with omg:rex) and am very happy, but I still feel abnormal and awkward. Perhaps my upbringing, and current peer surroundings of homophobia and the like. Of which one friend has found out, and is giving me the hardest of times. I feel like I'm losing myself right now
It can certainly feel that way. It's difficult, to struggle with feelings you don't understand. The best thing to do is to push forward. You'll figure everything out in the end, and it will all work itself out from there. It's also good that you're open-minded, even if your family isn't.
Your issue seems to be a bit more cut and dry than you initially give it credit for. For one you issue seem to be completely dealing with you being programmed from a concept of bias opinions and "The good book" as it is proclaimed. To get around the fire wall that is you bock you simply need to logically solve the issue from your own stand point by giving yourself an easy overlaying aspect of your person. Or to be more blunt. You just need to figure out who you are what your morally based on and live by it. What makes you "You". Not to sound rustic or contrary but to be honest its your body for anyone who doesn't like who you are. As the saying goes "Haters gonna hate" And as for the rest who honestly gives a damn. If your family cant accept you for who you are that's a piss poor excuse of a family then. (No Offense) My point is don't be afraid of anything. Especially when the only thing to fear is fear itself in the scenario. Your family may just surprise you and accept you completely. Should you choose to reveal that complex of yourself. On the other hand, don't flaunt something unnecessary. If you feel that keeping to yourself is a much more sensible easy life style to live for sexuality. More power to you. Keeping the peace is always an objective. But don't fear the unknown and don't pick a fight when there can easily be a more diplomatic solution. I hope these words help encourage you in your future decisions.
Hey mate, cheers for writing this =D Most of what you say is I guess true. If I am honest, my family is one who probably wouldn't LIKE it, but support it nonetheless.. but I still just have the paranoia of worst case scenario. I guess it mainly comes down to what people think of me, as I have had problems with self-consciousness all my life, which in one situation, cost me a grade at uni not long ago. I remember (accidentally) overhearing my sister talking about wanting to be transgender with the mother. While I guess disappointed, she seemed alright. It was mostly about the religious side of things that was discussed. I think its more my wider family that I'm more worried about, rather than my immediate...
Bisexual, I suppose. I've been attracted to both men and women in my life. It has more to do with what they're like as a person than what their gender is, really.
I guess it's up to me to revive the thread again. Honestly, I'm gay. I only recently told my dad, and only a few of my friends know that I'm gay. Hay, only the ones I would trust with my life know. I know that I can never tell my mom as long as my step father is around, but I accept that it is just the circumstances of my reality. I have been reading this forum over the last few days and I finally decided to just post something. In light of reading certain posts about a very dark subject (suicide) I wrote a poem today based on not letting your self get lost in the sadness and that there are things to live for. It truly took all of my energy to write it and not breakdown and cry. I have had "those" thoughts in the past and almost ended it a few weeks ago, but now I realize that what people said was right. There are thing to live for. I hope that people will still check this thread from time to time and be willing to chat. I live in a small town full of "Good Ol' Boys" and republicans as well as fundamentalist christians who probably have their heads up their plot's to far to accept that there are people who don't agree with them. I am thankful that I will never bend to the will of those who are completely unreasonable. Considering that I have a gift for acting I like to "Play with their heads" and "Fool them all" if only to get them to leave me alone. It sucks that the small GSA in my school is too weak to even keep in contact with it's members on a regular basis but I can live with that if it means that I have a better community to turn to online. I think I will end my longish message here, running a mono-log in your head for a very long time can really make you feel sleepy.
Location: Sweden well aint that a suprise D ah'm not gay srsly - - Auto Merge - - Asexuals are just people who can't get a partner and then lie to themselves that they have no sexuality
