So, how do you define yourself sexually? Just curious. :o

@poll: I'm bisexual.

Also, I've probably missed something, so feel free to mention it. Easy definitions can be found here.
 
Bisexual.

Though very far over to the gay side of the Kinsey scale. I just say bisexual to make things easier since I know I could fall in love with a guy, I just find the idea of having sex with one a bit icky and I don't find the male body attractive at all.
 
Except that's not really bisexual, Cirrus. For something to be part of your sexuality it requires the sex part.

If you're not attracted to or aroused by men then you can't claim bisexuality.
 
Heterosexual

I'm really quite surprised at how serious conversations we have in this forum, more than I might have on school, but I do respect what everyone else is saying here.
 
I think I'm asexual? I honestly cannot seem to see any gender, or anyone at all as attractive. I also have no real sexual urges.

Of course it might be that I've yet to mature enough to feel an attraction for someone else. Hm.

But I could theoretically go into a relationship with a man and maybe even marry one, I just wouldn't enjoy the sex as much as I would with a woman, or maybe at all.

...yeah, not likely, but still. I guess I'm emotionally bisexual, but for all intents and purposes gay, then? I've never really been sure anyway.
 
I identify as gay, but since that tends to confuse people IRL I usually just say that I'm androsexual or that I like guys.

Homosexual biromantic?
 
I'll just put myself down for I don't know.

I would say heterosexual but I find myself very occasionally attracted to/have fantasies about men, although I don't think often enough for me to say bi or even a one on the kinsey scale for sure.

Yeah, that's a term that works but honestly, without sexual attraction isn't that love just "friendship"?

A very, very close and deep friendship, but at the end of the day it's still friendship.
 
Pansexual probably... I don't really care what bits anyone has, if I'm sexually attracted to them then that's that

That's nice, but it's probably true for everyone. When someone says "what's your sexuality?" they're not asking for the potentials, they're asking for your past record of attraction.

"I am a five on the Kinsey scale. I am gay." "I am a 1 on the Kinsey scale. I am straight." etc.

Potentially I'm bisexual. I'm not ruling out being attracted to a woman or even a dinosaur but is it practical to call myself pansexual? Not really.

(This wasn't an attack on you. It was just an observation.)

fair enough

I'm a 3 on the kinsey scale anyway and when people ask what I am, I just say bi as it's easier :B
