I feel like if you feel like you have a connection with someone you shouldn't put a label on it. I'm straight and I've only been with men, but I've had this forever crush on one of my female friends, if she'd ask me out i'd say sure. I check out girls too. but i still consider myself straight. You should love and be with whoever you want without being labeled :)

Good topic!<br /> <br /> I always feel like one of the guys, grew up in the hood in Los Angeles with a bunch of boys, skateboarding etc. Used to tape up my breasts, wear baggy clothes, haha. I definitely am attracted to females at times, but for four years I have been madly in love with a gay guy. But hey, love is love is love is love. It sucks when we label it =)

100% gay, have dated guys in the past, but for the past couple years I've had 0 interest in dating anybody or seeking out sex.

im a girl, and im straight. i had my first boyfriend when i was 3. my dad found us kissing in the bushes outside our house and moved us acrost the US emedently. lol sorry but i dont think ive ever been atracted to girls that way, i meen i use to play spin the boddle with a few friends of mine and sometimes yeah it would land on a girl and yeah we would kiss but never really got the ZING that guys give off. not shure im explaining it right but there ya go!

Hell I still dunno what I feel.<br /> I am not sure whether I am truly attracted females or just femine males.

02-23-2011 at 4:21 AM

Hmmm. This is an interesting one.<br /> <br /> I'm a woman. Sure, I've felt awkward with it, seeing as how I've always hung out with the guys. Especially now being a firefighter, it's very rare that I find other women who do what I do. So I find it easier to act more masculine than feminine. But I'm 100% a woman.<br /> <br /> As far as my sexuality goes, I'm straight I guess, but comfortable enough to have relations with a girl to a certain point. I really questioned my sexuality, though, after a "truth or dare" situation which had me kiss my female friend. It sent off a spark, and it made me question everything. I looked at her like I looked at guys, I wanted her in multiple ways. I ended up falling madly in love with her. I could never figure it out, because I had never had these feelings before towards another female. That was a few years ago, and I still love her, but I've pushed it away, as she's straight and I KNOW it would ruin the friendship if I ever mentioned it to her. But I never had those feelings for anyone else. I still can't figure it out.<br /> <br /> I think sexuality is something you just figure out along the way. We as humans get so worked up in trying to figure out what to label ourselves, that we really miss out on what love is - It's a relationship between two people who care deeply for each other.<br /> <br /> I know this probably didn't help at all, but tell your friend I wish him luck in his journey ^^

Told him Nate, about what you said and he said thanks. He's been wondering for a while what he would be considered since many people ask him. And although I'm in a GSA, I have no idea myself XD<br /> <br /> After thinking about it and rereading, I might be consdiered asexual as well...but I'm not sure :P

02-22-2011 at 4:46 PM

I've never dated anyone, I'm Asexual. (odds are you haven't even heard of that orientation before now.) For a long time, I didn't know what to label myself as.(Anyone else here Asexual?

02-20-2011 at 9:53 AM

Also, that could be termed asexual, Al. I totally didn't catch that question. It doesn't mean you have absolutely no attraction or interest in sex; it just means it's not a high priority on your list, to the extent that many asexuals have very little <i>need</i> for sex in reality.<br /> But it's a pretty broad label. x:

02-20-2011 at 9:51 AM

I guess if we're covering gender identity in this discussion...FtM transgender, although I'm just now starting to really figure that out and come to terms with what it means. I've had no surgery, and I don't plan to have anything done below the belt because, frankly, the surgical options available are...not ideal. :/ Top surgery and T are...works in progress. For now, I bind and mostly wear men's clothing.<br /> Like Geist, I never really felt comfortable in my own body, but didn't understand why. (Actually, it helps explain my serious phobia of mirrors, to some extent.) Long story short, one of my friends came out as trans, and it prompted me to do a lot of reading and research...and I'm still confused, but at least I have a direction to explore.<br /> <br /> Sexuality-wise, I'm honestly mostly asexual. I am attracted almost exclusively to intelligence and personality. Certain physical traits are more attractive to me than others, I guess, but mostly I like smart folks. It always sounds somewhat snooty, so I don't like discussing it all that much, but my ideal romantic evening is a rousing political debate over dinner, so...I guess I'm the odd one out, there.

what would it be considered if you like both males and females, HOWEVER, you have no interest in kissing/having sex with the same gender?<br /> <br /> thats my friends dilemna and he has no idea what to call himself XD

02-11-2011 at 3:57 AM

I experimented a few times - and I discovered that I like the same sex for their personalites, not for what gender. So - I am straight. Not les.

02-10-2011 at 3:20 AM

yea, XD<br /> <br /> I can say that I have, but it was always more of, "what would happen if..." Sometimes I tell myself that I'll start dating females if I can't find good enough guy. And I'm not looking for a husband, and I don't plan on one in the future, however, I just want ONE boyfriend in my life at some point to hold my hand and be there for me. <br /> <br />

02-10-2011 at 1:11 AM

I think you might be getting the responses you're getting because everyone has questioned their sexuality at some point. Almost everyone. XD &lt;3

02-9-2011 at 11:59 PM

I think I did chose the wrong title XD<br /> <br /> <br /> meh -.-<br /> <br /> Still, very interesting reposnes :D<br />

02-9-2011 at 9:58 PM

In retrospect.. I'm keeping this to myself, ahaha.

02-9-2011 at 3:22 PM

Hahah, some clarity about whether this was meant to be in regards to sexual preferences or sexual identity may have been handy, but perhaps it should just be considered an open discussion, as both have been addressed.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Sexual & Gender Identity</b><br /> My sex is female and I'm comfortable with that; however, as far as gender, I'm fluid/non-binary.<br /> <br /> <b>Sexual & Romantic Preferences</b><br /> This too me considerably longer to figure out and come to terms with than the aforementioned.<br /> I'm physically attracted to everyone; male, female, and everything in between and beyond. The issue arises when it comes to the differences between romantic attraction and sexual attraction.<br /> I have no romantic interests in people who don't identify as male. Like sexual attraction, it's not a choice; I've tried it, it's just not there for me. I have no desire for a romantic relationship with people who don't identify as male (I think this excludes people who identify as queer as well as male, too).<br /> On the flipside, I have no sexual attraction to cis males. That is, men that were born anatomically male, and identify as being male. It doesn't gross me out, I still find them physically attractive, I just have absolutely no desire for intimate physical contact with them, of any sort. My current partner of three years has been the only exception to this.<br /> <br /> <em>It is an awesome time and makes no sense at all.</em>

02-8-2011 at 11:30 PM

I prefer not to label my sexual preferences as straight/bi/gay.. If i'm attracted to a person enough to want a relationship with them, it doesn't much matter to me whether they're male/female/trans or what have you. As long as there's mutual respect and attraction.. why should it matter? <br /> <br /> Love knows no bounds, right? :)<br /> <br /> I tend not to define myself either. I'm just me. And if people don't like that.. they can bugger off. I'm living this life to make me happy, not to make other people comfortable.

02-8-2011 at 7:25 PM

Personally, I've never questioned my own gender. I'm a female, was born a female, and I like it that way. :) It works for me.<br /><br /><br /><br />As far as sexuality, I'm pretty straight. I leave myself wiggle room. I've experimented before. Was an interesting change. <br /><br /><br /><br />Now that's not to say I'd ever date a girl, I just am not attracted to the personality of any girl I've ever met, not in that way. I could never be committed, I can't put two and two together in that respect. I'd treat her like a friend. <br /><br /><br /><br />But fun's fun, amirite?

02-8-2011 at 6:44 PM

I actually have thought I'm trans at times, to the point where I would feel better as the opposite sex. But I would never get surgery for it. I've gone back to identifying as genderqueer because it fits better, I think. I do have strong urges to bind once I get out of my house and to college next year.
