[faith]

@MiniKitty
My mate!

XD Not fully, but the man things~


Uhm, I'd say I am straight.
Visually I am attracted by woman as well, but the idea of kissing one makes me go "O.<" and I don't even want to imagine sex "x_x".

Oh :3, when they guy looks really manly I go "eww" xD
Androgenous or slightly feminine or more or less genderless, please~ :3

Kaya for example is highly attractive in my eyes, but well <_<
I wouldn't want to get too close, because for that he's too feminine in my eyes.

Mana again is----- oh, I am bi-curious XD XD XD
(Thanks for that option! It made me laugh ^o^)
Nah, I still see Mana as man who looks...well...like both or nothing ^.~
And sexually I am not interested in woman ^^ So I guess I can't say bi-curious ^^

Well, whatever xD

But if you look at the pole I think you'll notice something. The un-nonke guys (except for that 1 lone person) are all gay, while the girls are all bi.
I really do think girls are more likely to become bi than guys are due to culture or genetics or horomones or whatever.

I feel the same. Another forum I go to has a large amount of non-straight people.... but there are very few exclusive lesbians; most the girls are bi (in fact I'm one of the few girls who is not bi) and all the non-straight boys are strictly gay. It's very strange.


But yes, straight female here. I'm open-minded about the future, but so far boys are the only ones that interest me.

 

[sailorKa]

A lot of girls do it because they think it's cool or something. I don't think of trends enough to something so ignorant.

They're called Lipstick Lesbians. xD

As for the gay thing being a "fad"... well, I could agree to some degree(like, has anyone seen those pages completely dedicated to pictures of emo boys kissing each other?! geez...) but as this one person on a GLBTQ podcast said:

Its not that its "in" to be gay. It's just that in this time and age its getting easier to come out of the closet and so people are doing it earlier than was usual.

And I agree. Even with old stars its been like "HI, I'm COMING OUT NOW!".
Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen Degeneres and that boyband guy really came out in the last decade or so. (In the past 5 or 6 years, even).

And teens experimenting with their sexual orientation has been happening since the dawn of time, its just less "embarrassing" and more normal to talk about it now(even if some people do brag a little too much about their one-time encounters...).

Uh, I lost my point.

Hm? I thought Lipstick Lesbians are lesbians who are uber girly and like uber girly girls...then, I wouldn't know I suppose.

Yeah, but if you look back farther to ancient Greece homosexuality was even more the norm then.

I think it's been pretty well documented that sexual orientation is partually influenced by the way someone was brought up and the experiences they've had as a child/teen/adult whatnot. The question is just how much of it is genetic, and how much is culture ^^ But with guys, I think their entire views on love and emotional...emotions...are different than women's emotions. Like, when they say "love" it's a completely different thing is a sense.

...I think I already blabbed at you on this though
Sorry yoz.

 

[Priss]

I'm a straight male.
Though, I want to have a career as a Lipstick Lesbian.

 

[Camuflagem]

wouldn't touch a woman in a romantic way.... and not kiss a woman either.

Actually there is very little evidence supporting the thesis that homosexuality is environmental. Everything is pointing towards genetics, particularly prenatal hormones. You're born however you are, and that's it. Experimenting with homosexuality is very different than actually being oriented as a homosexual. Any influence that personal experience has on your sexual choices doesn't dictate what your orientation is, but how you approach your orientation. (I had to write a research paper on the subject last year for my psych class.)

I had an anthro class on how it's not 100% genetic (>_<)
I guess it's just one of those things that's kinda iffy either way.
I do know my school made "gay" fruitflies though, which made me lol.

As with Priss, I wish to be a gay fruitfly in hobby

 

[navate]

It's not 100% genetic, no (nothing is 100% anything). But science is showing us that genetics and other biological factors play the largest role, and environment and life experience have very little to do with it--in short, it's not a choice people make; it's something you are born with.

No, you're right.

Agreed.

It might have had something to do with the school I went to (in Hicksville, USA, Population: 1800 retards) but nobody in my school was out. I hear about 14 year old guys going to dances with their boyfriends now and it just blows my mind. Sure, they'll still get picked on but not anywhere near to the extent that they would've, say, 15 years ago.

Somehow it got around school that my girlfriend and I were more than just friends and it was just HUGE. Bisexuality wasn't exactly a fad at that time (1993) and especially not in that place. I wonder if anyone would've even batted an eyelash over it had it been 2007.

 

[m10mfrk]

I'm not exactly sure how the story goes, but didn't homosexuality use to be under the US list of human disorders for a while till it was taken off a few years ago...

maybe that`s just more of a turn on... but i freaked when there was this... wonderfully dressed japanese guy in harajuku. he was handing out tickets to a free live of somesort and i was like "omg omg omg... can i take a picture with you?!!?"

later when I looked back at the photo i was like... " you know... he really wasn`t that cute.... XD" :p

It was in earlier versions of the DSM, and gradually got toned down till they removed it altogether in the '80s. I think DSM-III was the last to list homosexuality in any form as a disorder.

 

[Iskanderia]

Damn it, Flowers beat me to it.

 

[holylampposts]

^ What about the ICD? ICD-9 (the one the US uses) still lists homosexuality as a mental disorder.

 

[Amatsu]

Umm... I might have read it wrong, because I just skimmed through the pages, but I'm not bisexual, and I have a crush on a trans guy [born female]. I might start dating him soon too, although I'm attracted to him as a male and not a female. I don't think its fair to call people who are trans both sexes, because they arent. They're just not physically the gender they are mentally.

I have a lot of trans friends, and I feel the same way they do about themselves, when I imagine their body, If they're born female and identify as a male, I see their body as a male, and visa versa, even though it usually isn't, depending on if they've had surgery.

but if I just read wrong, ignore me.
