Non-binary romantic friend? Don’t really understand…

[Inamuddle36]

I hope someone can help me to understand what “non-binary” means in terms of physical/sexual relationships.

Could someone help me understand what is a relationship between a man and a non-binary person — in terms of physical relations (or sexual, if it were to come to that)? — specifically, a relationship where one person is physically male and thinks of himself as male and the other is physically female but thinks of “themself” as either male or non-binary.

I realise I am shaped by my own binary orientation, thinking of relationships as being between a man and a woman or a man and a man or a woman and a woman, and don’t understand what would be the sexual dynamic of a male + non-binary “afab” (for want of another term).

the question is not entirely theoretical but I don’t want to give more details at the moment.

i would welcome insights either from non-binary people or others who understand such relationships.

Obviously anyone can say what they want and don't want.

But the symptoms of gender dysphoria include (NHS website):

• a strong desire to hide or be rid of physical signs of your biological sex, such as breasts or facial hair
• a strong dislike of the genitals of your biological sex

So it's hardly a leap to say that people with those symptoms might be more likely to be uncomfortable with particular kind of sexual activity.

If their partner's not up for that, they aren't obliged to be in the relationship, just the same as any relationship.

Thank you for your helpful perspectives.

It’s possible the afab might take the active role and the other amab partner is, say, getting pegged.

I'm not even old and I can't be bothered with all the im this or that anymore. Like life isn't confusing enough. Sorry if it offends it isn't meant to its my personal opinion
