I like Mick Avory and that's why I chose him for a role model in order to have a healthy body image and to keep myself from drifting back to the dark side. You asked. Sexually....nobody though I've always identified with males.

Straight, absolutely no same-sex tendencies. 36 year old white male.

I think AS women are more likely to have different sexual tastes than AS men. Although that said I know several AS women on this forum who are straight.

Yes, autistics are more likely to be sexual deviants and you probably should have done this poll in the adult section. I'm not offended, but there could be children in here that should not be thinking about this stuff.

Ehh, I figure if you can read, you're probably old enough to know that some people fall in love with the same gender. I did say "no explicit stuff"--I'm very well aware that most parents would prefer to inform their own kids about the... er... mechanics. Besides, I've never seen anybody around here who's younger than the teens.

I'm straight, but I have felt gay feelings maybe a dozen times in my entire life? I suppose I could be a little bit bicurious, I'd never have sex with a man though.

I don't consider myself completely male, but I am only attracted to females, so I would say I am completely heterosexual.

I'm attracted to women, but none are attracted to me. I am more interested in romance than sex...honest!

Yeah, I understand it. I also understand that it's bs. I'll have a positive attitude once I've had positive results.

Thinking about which stuff? In my experience, children think about marriage and family. Is there something special about heterosexuality that makes it okay for children to think about, but any other kind of sexuality is somehow wrong for children? What about children who are struggling with not being heterosexual themselves? Isn't it positive for them to be aware that they're not alone and that they're normal?

I guess I could take this slightly more seriously if there weren't so many Disney movies about idealized heterosexual relationships.

I think part of that may have to do with the fact that I myself am an androgynous female who has a secret desire to crossdress, so I'm just not attracted to people who are too similar to me in those respects.


You seem to have miscategorized some women as men and some men as women. I don't think transgender men exist on a continuum of crossdressing women and drag performers, nor do transgender women exist on a continuum of crossdressing men and drag performers.

Strikes me as very peculiar and counterintuitive to categorize them like that.

No, its not BS. Really. We create our tomorrows today.

I included as many terms for genderqueer as I could possibly think of because I was trying my hardest not to offend anyone. :(

It wasn't my intention to put anyone in categories.

Eh, I was mostly confused as to why you'd list "man/man/man/woman" or "woman/woman/woman/man".

I was going to vote straight, because I absolutely am without question, but then I had to vote 'more than one' when I noticed a post that mentioned being straight and asexual.

I have had many crushes, but only one serious relationship my entire life. It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. It started with your standard, if prolonged, courtship - it took 6 months of the two of us working together and obviously infatuated with each other for her to slyly arrange a get together outside of work under the guise of her 'interviewing' me for a college project. It was so cute.

I was with my 'ex' as I refer to her now (but never married), for almost 5 years, including a very healthy and active physical aspect.

I have been asexual ever since, unless you count lustful admiration of the female form - I absolutely love the shape of women :)

DEFINATELY Heterosexual!
I'm as "straight as a ramrod". Are there many here who remember what a ramrod even is?..... :)
