Snot FlickermanIām not convinced that thereās anywhere near as many straight people as straight people pretend there are. Itās gotta be closer to like fifty-fifty split between straight and bi/pan/ace/and so on.
Sexuality exists on a spectrum, imo.
There are a few people who are totally straight, a few who are totally gay, but the vast majority fall somewhere in the middle. I do not feel that sexuality is a binary for most people.
ZozanoI know everyone says it, but labels are pretty useless.
Even terms like āmasculineā and āfeminineā hold so much dumb baggage theyāre both functionally useless.
I know guys who want to be subservient to pretty girls, and girls who want stocky girls to dominate them.
Sexuality doesnāt fit neatly into boxes, even in the best of circumstances - so much of it is contextual, and is pointless to attempt to pin down.
GalacticSushiLabels are just succinct words/phrases that try to give people some approximate idea of where we fall on a handful of vast spectrums. Theyāre not meant to be 100% accurate.
Iām probably pansexual, but I tell people Iām bi because thatās a word most people are familiar with. And even then Iām like 80-90% into women. So I donāt really fit neatly into the bisexual box, but that label conveys enough relevant information.
ThatWeirdGuy1001Yeah this is what Iāve always thought.
I believe Iām straight but if a guy presented feminine enough Iād be attracted to them. Only problem is I donāt like penises but if you can hide it Iām all in
BaÅtoIām not even convinced we really managed to universally agree to uniform definition of what straight actually is. As long as thatās the case people, who want to be "normalā, will just stretch and twist the definitions to fit in, if they can fit in that way.
Thatās a problem with everything though. No matter what definition for something you come up with, even if most of population agrees with it, youād have aggresively vocal minority that will try and push it other way to conform it to their perception/goals etc.
Straight means that as a man you are sexually attracted only to women. Already met people who dragged it into the āfeminine peopleā camp instead and people who dragged it into āfeminine womenā camp. I tend on the other hand to stick into the tried and tested too much so I find both irritating xD
I more had āonly/exclusivelyā vs āmostly/usuallyā in mind. But yes. There is also the question of whether its about gender or sex; homo-hetero being viewed as āsame-oppositeā vs āsame-differentā; what you wanna do with them ā¦ sex, relationship or both. Some think samesex intercourse is fine as long as you donāt want a relationship . And what even does attraction mean.
KumaI see it as different things, you can fall for one gender, you can feel sexual attractive for another but most of the time do they sync. So that made also sense why some had crushes on the gender they wouldnāt be together with.
It all clicked when I got to know a girl who could fall in love with men and women but couldnāt enjoy having sex with guys even tho she tried to really liked it with the guys she fell for. And that also made me understand what pan really was because I thought it was just bi with extra steps but when gender identity, gender romance and gender sexually was all different things then it all made sense.
I struggle to believe that anyone is 100.00% straight or gay. Like, really? Youāre straight, sureā¦ But thereās not one person? One situation? One perfect storm of circumstances where youād try swinging the other way just a little bit?
Trust me, it is very frustrating to be around people who you would gladly fuck your brains out, but your brain is like āewwā.
100% gay here and so far it continues this way.
So bi and pan people donāt fuck and make babies?
That would imply at least 30% is bi/pan.
And even at 80%, early humans already had it really rough. There seems to have been 2 near extinctions of modern humans in the far past, so when the population is about 1000, having 200 not contribute is pretty big. Especially with the higher mortality rates early humans had in regards to birth.
Itās more likely the percentage started extremely low and increased over time as population stability increased, since then it would reach a point where 10-20% not having kids wouldnāt be as big a deal since there would now be hundreds of thousands or even over a million.
DasusHonestly itās weird how adamant people are there have always been people who solely preferred one sex over the other. While itās generally true for modern society, people wouldnāt have even understood what you mean in ancient times by āsexual orientationā, really. I mean you could obviously explain it and people could answer to a degree, butā¦
Well, think of this, we have left and right in our languages. We all know those are relative terms. My left and your left are different, most of the time. Anyway, there exists a tribe who donāt have relative words for directions, and they only use cardinal directions, all the time. As in if theyāre hanging a painting, theyād say āno, no, a bit to the northā instead of āleftā. On a tangent, it makes them very much immune to getting lost as they have incredible sense of direction for that reason. My point being that to us itās simple that you just use left and right, why wouldnāt you, when people know what it means and itās simple. So why doesnāt that tribe use them? Idk, itās just not in their culture. Just like such strict classifications of sexual orientation werenāt much of a thing in ancient and prehistoric times.

Cornelius: Yeah, donāt worry, Bill, Lucius will look after you.
Lucius: Shut up, Cornelius!
Bill: Ahh, Lucius, erm, right, listen thereās, erm, something I should explain.
Lucius: What?
Bill: This is probably just a really difficult idea. I donāt like men that way.
Lucius: What? Not ever?
Bill: Nah, not ever. Only women.
Nahā¦not ever.
Lucius: Oh. Alright, yeah, Iāve got it. Youāre like Vitus then.
Bill: What?
Lucius: He only likes men.
Vitus: Some men. Better looking men than you, Lucius.
Lucius: I donāt think itās narrow-minded, I think itās fine. You know what you like.
Bill: And you like both?
Lucius: Iām just ordinary, I like men and women.

There are a few gay men looking at this video.
Thatās it.
There was a comedienne that stuck a line in my head " Iām attracted to men, but I donāt find them attractive"
Similar.
Charlie Sheen said that he didnāt pay women for sex. He paid them to have sex and then leave.
jballsThat actually kinda makes sense though. He was saying he didnāt want a relationship, just the sex part. Iām sure Charlie Sheen would have no problem finding people to have sex with that didnāt require payment, they would just expect a relationship as part of it.
As opposed to other dude, who just was gay and was trying to sound like he wasnāt gay.
A comedienne is a lady comic. She is saying she wants men but doesnāt find them attractive, which as a straight lady, makes absolute sense to me. Especially as I get older I wish I was bi, women age better (or more women age well is probably a better way to put it), and it would be easier in some ways. But alas, itās men for me.
One of the few funny āCathyā cartoons ever.
Cathy and Irving are talking and Irving asks Cathy what she wants in a man. He has to be a self-made millionaire; who is not materialistic. He has to love pets; he canāt own any. He canāt be afraid of commitment; he canāt have any exes.
Irving goes off. He points out that what she wants is impossible.
Cathy asks Irving what he wants.
āA beautiful virgin who loves sex.ā
touristI dunno, i thought the first 30 seconds of the 2 minute video on nyposts yt were good for a laugh
This doesnāt help, I only have more questions now!
Well noā¦ but actually yes
āI am so hetero.ā
Holy, i saw the pictures but now after seeing the video i wish i was born without eyes.
Now I am straighter than everā¦
This is fineš„š¶āš„
Another win for the blind and deaf people.
I Cast FistWhatever you are, everyone has preferences. Iād prefer to be younger and more attractive but Iād also prefer that in a partner even though Iām not that myself. I love the vibes of older people but not many older people have taken good care of their bodies. I get it, it is difficult.
