What are you?

Hmmm....I like males and only males so straight for me.

I voted "none of your business" ...

In fair honesty, I am physically attracted to the opposite gender (so, technically "Straight"), but I try to repress those impulses and do not actively pursue any of what I call "gender relevant relationships", so I would like to think of myself as "Neutral".

...but society does not allow for that option, as no one seems to believe I can actually BE that, so...well...there you are...

I am happily married, have never strayed, and never would, BUT........

I do have VERY extreme fantasies that involve Trans-sexuals. Does this make me Gay, or Bi? or Bi-curious?

I dunno.

All I do know is that I consider my self broadminded and tolerant of others beliefs or sways.

I also consider myself blessed with a large circle of friends, several of whom are gay. I was hit on by one of them a couple of years back, come to think of it, it's happened with about 3 of them. Maybe I give out signals without realising. But although I was always very flattered, I never felt the urge to take them up on the offer.

Just for arguements sake tho, I've ticked the Bi box.
That'll teach me to borrow grubby DVD's from workmates!

Seems quite possible to me. Sexuality is far more complex a thing than Hetero/Homo/Bi sexuality....

....as demonstrated here.

For sake of argument, I assume by transsexual you mean 'shemales' rather than the dozen other definitions wikipedia gives (big article, didn't really bother to read through), so this is where things become debatable.

I think you could cross "gay" out right away though, considering you're happily married you presumably like women, and you've turned down gay men, which would lead me to assume you have no attraction to men. Then, we can go from these conclusions to say that technically you aren't bisexual since you do not like men but do like women which means you are straight.

The snag, of course, is these fantasies. But, IMO, liking a transexual/shemale doesn't make you Bi/gay. The transsexual/shemale is more female than male. It just makes you a straight guy who happens to like transsexuals is all.

I'm no expert, though.

Or...perhaps i'm just ........

normal....

I mean, what is normal? At the end of the day, everybody is different. So that being the case, there is no normal. mmmm

soooo...

What am I?

I'm ME!

That would mean you are A-sexual, no clue why they call it that

So I'm A-Sexual Deviant

PariahPoet · Post by **PariahPoet** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 8:56 pm

Haha, well seeing as how I've never had sex I guess that would technically make me a-sexual as well.

To be honest, my mate is the only person I've been attracted to anyway.
Which leads us to another point- I've had a couple friends who are in love with a person of the same sex but are not interested in anyone else of he same sex or opposite. If a girl loves another girl, but isn't interested in any other females is she still gay?

lupine · Post by **lupine** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:01 pm

Personally, I would say yes. But that leads me back to why I'm confused. Cos Transexuals are female in appearance, but ARE male. this is where I get mixed up if I'm Bi or just ummmm.....

I guess it's like the debate over whether Figarou is furry or not. I think it's just what you decide you are.

lupine · Post by **lupine** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:37 pm

Yeah. Everyones take on stuff is different. It all depends on your own personal values and beliefs.
I was brought up to in a quite stilted conservative household, where nothing was really talked about. So I guess I found stuff out for myself. I found my own way, if you like. IMHO this helped me to develop an individuality (some would call it weirdness).

I just alway find it funny that while I myself am straight, my fursona is Bi and hermaphroditic.

I'm afraid to use words to describe my reaction to your statement. One's alter ego states volumes about the real person. Psycology 101.

Short Tail · Post by **Short Tail** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 1:44 am

You didnt know that? Didn't I show you the comission pieces I had at the con?
Anyway, there are a couple of reasons for it. Firstly, all the members of the species are herm, yet this was not what rang true with me, it was instead the mentality that came about as a result, being the ability to accept anyone as well as their happy outlook on life, which was so lacking in my own at the time. Some friends have also suggested that it is also a result of my trying things in RP that I could never do myself in real life, but I am not as sure about this one.

Kaebora · Post by **Kaebora** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 1:48 am

Yes, but I don't recall the background story to your character. My alter-ego Kaebora is a Shape-Shifting Immortal from another dimension who lives a "Dr. Who lifestyle". Totally straight, and married many times over the course of the millenia. That speaks assumeable truths about my personality don't it?

Short Tail · Post by **Short Tail** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 1:49 am

that being you believe in poligamy?

But yes, I can definatly understand what you are saying and it very well may stem from repressed feelings that I dont know about. *shrugs*

From the person about to have her degree in psych- sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Well, I like the fellahs, but I put "none of your business" because it just isn't a priority for me. Sex is something people do and I don't care if you do it with a guy or a lady. I care if you do it with children, that's where I draw the line. I don't gay-bash, but I do pedophile-bash, with vicious glee.

And Fenris, one doesn't have to be Republican to be into guns. I know lots of Dems, Greens and Libertarians that shoot.

Bisexuals like both, so you're probably gay, unless you do like women to a degree. It's not always 50-50 (in fact, I doubt it often is).

You don't have to 'act gay' to be gay. Sometimes people don't realize they are until they start, er, exploring.

White Paw · Post by **White Paw** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 7:15 pm

see.... thats the thing..its a grey area because i say i do and in some respects i do ...but im not attracted to them overall.....

Ah. Yeah, that is a gray area.

I guess you'd qualify as bisexual with a high preference for males, then.
