No problem! Referring to romantic orientation rather than sexual orientation isn't something a lot of people think to do, so I like to bring it up when I think I might be useful. ^_^ It's a movement that needs more of a voice.
Well, it was bound to happen. I've lost all physical and sexual attraction to women. I'm gay. Whoopee~
I've always just felt romance and sex went together for me. I didn't know it was divided for some between the genders.
I'm happy for you that you found yourself! and now me..... I'll quote Cyberpony 'cause I'm lazy Hello everypony, I'm just dropping by this thread again to tell y'all a little something something. I'm happy to say I'm bicurious, for now. Although I may not want to go into detail how this occured, I'll just say I didn't quite expect it either. I'm not in a relationship with anyone, right now. I guess having a calm, open mind and a soft heart made me come out like this, hehe. I'm still uncertain about if I really am or not. However, I may just be going through a short period of asexuality, but I don't think it's like that. I will say, though, that I will be uncertain of what my true sexuality is until that day comes. That pretty much sums me up rather nicely at the moment.
It really helps some people to realize that it can be. Orientation is such a varied thing. The variation is probably endless.
I guess it's hard to guess the concept when I've never considered the limitations involved. It seems kind of weird, but I just thing of love as a random thing, rather than having any set rules. I mean, there are plenty of folks out there who have fallen in love with the gender they previously had no attraction for. Love conquers all!... Even its own limitations!
Y suh lazeh!!? Well, anyhow, congrats on your steps toward discovering yourself, Xan! And, good luck with the rest of the journey!
I may as well post my sexual and romantic preferences on this thread, seeing as though it's being used to serve that purpose. I'm Heterosexual and Aromantic. Basically, women are pleasurable, but I don't want a relationship. I doubt I'll ever get into the areas of homo- and bisexuality, as it doesn't feel quite suited to my very refined tastes.
Just so you know: ever time you say ANYTHING on this forum I read your posts with Akira kogami's voice in my head.
I have no idea. But let's just say that if something doesn't feel right to me, I can't accept it. For example, I dislike women who plaster their face with makeup every day, or wear clothes that reveal absolutely everything. You're awesome.
I like my women clothed... :x I was quite happy that some of the later armor sets in Vindictus actually covered your character... then they released the Raider's set and I cringed.
Dont worry about a thing, Ronsta's here to steer the thread back on topic I'm a comfortable heterosexual, and while I've never had much luck with the ladies romantically I have a pretty much equal amount of male/female friends. I know this should really go without saying, but I have absolutely no problems with homosexuals/homosexuality at all. One of my fathers best friends is homosexual, and he's one the kindest and most generous people I know. More recently I've gotten to know a few lesbians at my school, all very friendly, outgoing, etc. At the end of the day, love is love. If people truly love each other and want to form a relationship, that's all there is and all there needs to be. Also, thought this was interesting: [video=youtube;w8SOQEitsJI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8SOQEitsJI[/video] While I don't agree with everything he says, the argument actually makes a lot of sense. Thoughts?
In response to the above video: I disagree with his statement that monogamy is not natural. I don't think polygamy is unnatural, and I think that if you want to be a relationship like that, you should be able to. However, he says "if you're in love, you can make a monogamous commitment, and you will refrain from having sex with other people, but you will still desperately want to f*** the s*** out of other people." Sorry, Dan, but not everyone thinks like you. He might make some good points, but ultimately telling people their decisions are wrong and trying to get them to conform to the meaning of love as he sees it is just as bad as what he's trying to speak out against. Love is a very multifaceted term. It might mean something to someone, and something different to someone else. Dan Savage undertsands this on one level, but on another, he has no clue. Not everyone has these gigantic sexual needs. Humans are all different. Maybe I, as a human, want a close relationship or bond with just one person. Am I denying my basic human sexual needs? Am I lying to myself? Do I feel the need to go out and have sex with other people just to get some variety in my life? No, no, and no. I disagree with Dan Savage on a few other points as well; these are things that aren't in the video. He think it's a good idea for gays to use the word "*squee!*got" amoungst themselves, because then straight people can't use it as a hate word. That makes sense in one way, but it's also ridiculous. There will always be those people out there who are offended by the word "*squee!*got" because of how hateful its meaning actually is. In using that word, he alienates those people. I really don't like Dan Savage.
