2 questions about sexuality

[Berocco43]

Just curious (as a gay woman myself and supporting a friend whose coming out later in life)

1. what is your sexual orientation?
2. regardless of your answer above- have you ever had a romantic or sexual interaction with the same sex?

1. Functionally heterosexual
2. Yes, many attractions and crushes and a few experiences and a couple of short-lived relationships with women. But the actual sex bit never really seemed to work. I think for that reason I don’t consider myself bisexual.

Heterosexual and I have has zero thought for another woman in that way at all, I have never ever had any interaction with a female in any way sexual and have no interest in it at all

1. I would usually describe myself as hetro but other people might describe me as bi. I guess somewhere in between
2. Yes.

I find women attractive and enjoy the sex but don’t seem to progress from that to falling in love type feelings with women in the same way that I do with men. I’ve often wondered whether that’s social or personal, and whether I would feel differently if I’d been born today.

1. Het
2. Yes, both 'romantic' and sexual. Felt nice but not sexy.

People vary a lot, don't we? I've said 'people' because I do believe men would be as varied as women if they were less shackled to male stereotyping.

I love women, often appreciate women's physical attributes, and have thought I'd have been happier if I were lesbian. But I've never physically desired a woman. I can be overswept by lust for a man I don't even know, a man I dislike, or one who's out of bounds. This has never happened with a woman - my spirit may be gay, but my body's all het!

Lesbian
Previously married to a man. Been happily with my wife for 16 years. I could never go back.

Unfortunately I’m solely attracted to men despite thinking most of them are complete twats

This is the curse on straight women.

1. l discovered by bi side in my early 30s, initially it took me by surprise, but looking back it explained a lot. I dislike labels though and prefer to consider myself as “sexual”; no prefix required.
2. Oh yes!

Hetero

I have been 'bi curious' as it was called back in the day but going with a woman just didn't work for me. I didn't hate it, just did nothing for me.

This was part of a threesome at a boyfriends suggestion I wasn't pressured by him before anyone suggests that , I was very much up for trying it but it just didn't turn me on.

I slept with a few girls in my late teens & early 20s. I knew quite a few "straight" girls who did the thing. I still find some women very attractive and could have sex with one again but romantically I'm straight. Since my mid 20s all my relationships have been with men.

I consider myself straight and at this point- mid 40s- I'm so throughly sick of men and consider women much better people. But that isn't related to my sexuality.

I really don’t think the label Demi needs to exist if it means you only want sex once you’ve developed an emotional connection. That’s a label too far in my book.

God’s joke on us.

Heterosexual.

Yes. (I've lived a bit )

I call myself biplayful,

I'm too experienced with women to call myself bicurious, but my level of sexual attraction to women is much lower than men, and tends not to get seriously romantic.... so bisexual doesn't feel fully true..... so this label captures it best for me.

straight, and no. A shame really as men are such twats 🤣

Straight as a die all my life. I'd as soon fancy a camel (octopus/ferret etc) as another woman.

Well, there's that Hokusai print,the Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, so maybe the octopus is a consideration...

My thoughts too!

came out in 40s. Never done anything with a woman before. Have a female partner now. It definitely is sexual intercourse,

Hetero but slightly in love with a gay woman on tiktok

Tentacle porn is a thing....

1. Bisexual
2. No. While I am attracted to women, I married my first (and only) romantic partner.

Bisexual

Yes, romantic and sexual interactions with women, but my long term relationships have been with men.

I mean, if I was filling out a questionnaire, I’d describe myself as heterosexual, but actually it’s much more on a spectrum than that. I do think women are attractive, though I’m not sure I’d want a long term relationship with one, so I’m not really properly bisexual.

Yes, I’ve had some intimate experiences with women.

Not necessarily! If your body doesn't react 'chemically' to female bodies (mine doesn't) no amount of skill or love can make up for it.

But I'm guessing you wouldn't have a female partner seeing as your body doesn't react.
