Sexuality

Post Reply New Topic

Am late bloomer, too-through years where peers were dating (teenagedom & even earlier) was only interested in the idea of (however unrealistic that was, for lack of actual experience) males, attraction to the faces & personalities of nice-seeming guys.

Lust didn't kick in until around age 17 or 18, when I had chances to "fool around" with some guys, one of whom became my first official boyfriend (so I had sex with him). I'm "straight"/hetero-but had worried that I was either non-sexual or a lesbian, because of my initial lack of interest (aversion, repulsion) at participation in the physical aspects of "intimate relations".

Bodily stuff is still difficult issue for me (have both extreme positive & negative reactions, not just one or other), at least now I understand more about sensory problems (hyper-sensitivities). Know what gender & "types" attract me, just have additional obstacles to expressing & implementing that-if you know what I mean.

I wonder what other would be...

bi (in the sense of being attracted to people reguardsless of gender)/ acidentally genderqueer
physically & self identify as female but with more of a male brain / don't conform to the gender stereotype (been described elsewhere as a"butch dyke who (mostly) fancies boys" )
mostly attracted to men - but also turned on by femine men, mascaline woman and adrogonous models where I can't tell the difference.


other = asexual, eople who view their sexuality as fluid rather than a fixed straight, bi or gay.

lol, same here

New member popping in here--I identify as lesbian.

I am pansexual but I voted bi because it is the closest option in the poll.

I tell people I'm straight, but honestly I'm more asexual as I get older. So I voted other.

Straight and have many times wished I wasn't.

But I am attracted to men, I don't understand them, they make me insane, and I'm still attracted to them. Like craving chocolate when you know darn well your allergic to it.


Just wishing all the hormones would hurry up and die off already so that I can get a couple more cats and retain what's left of my sanity.

Straight.

Lol. It didn't work for me, unfortunately. I wish you better luck

Same here. I think for me it's more of a power issue. The last guy I was with got more and more mean and controlling so that was it for me. I seem to have only attracted that type. I have a few trust issues with the male gender...I'm not sure why exactly. I'm assuming my AS can also make it hard just to be the type of person who can initiate a relationship and naturally assume where to draw the line in terms of boundaries.

But as odd as this is I've had better skills with being friends with guys than I have with girls....

Bisexual.

I am more sexually attracted to women; but I relate better to men. So, my long term relationships have (almost) always been with men.

Hetrosexual-Asexual.

hetrosexual

Pansexual - voted other. Gender has never been a constraint on whom I fall in love with.
