Snot FlickermanIâm not convinced that thereâs anywhere near as many straight people as straight people pretend there are. Itâs 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 âmasculineâ and âfeminineâ hold so much dumb baggage theyâre both functionally useless.
I know guys who want to be subservient to pretty girls, and girls who want stocky girls to dominate them.
Sexuality doesnât 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. Theyâre not meant to be 100% accurate.
Iâm probably pansexual, but I tell people Iâm bi because thatâs a word most people are familiar with. And even then Iâm like 80-90% into women. So I donât really fit neatly into the bisexual box, but that label conveys enough relevant information.
ThatWeirdGuy1001Yeah this is what Iâve always thought.
I believe Iâm straight but if a guy presented feminine enough Iâd be attracted to them. Only problem is I donât like penises but if you can hide it Iâm all in
BaĆtoIâm not even convinced we really managed to universally agree to uniform definition of what straight actually is. As long as thatâs the case people, who want to be "normalâ, will just stretch and twist the definitions to fit in, if they can fit in that way.
Thatâs a problem with everything though. No matter what definition for something you come up with, even if most of population agrees with it, youâd 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 âfeminine peopleâ camp instead and people who dragged it into âfeminine womenâ 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 âonly/exclusivelyâ vs âmostly/usuallyâ in mind. But yes. There is also the question of whether its about gender or sex; homo-hetero being viewed as âsame-oppositeâ vs âsame-differentâ; what you wanna do with them ⊠sex, relationship or both. Some think samesex intercourse is fine as long as you donât 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 wouldnât be together with.
It all clicked when I got to know a girl who could fall in love with men and women but couldnât 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? Youâre straight, sure⊠But thereâs not one person? One situation? One perfect storm of circumstances where youâd 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 âewwâ.
100% gay here and so far it continues this way.
So bi and pan people donât 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.
Itâs 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 wouldnât be as big a deal since there would now be hundreds of thousands or even over a million.
DasusHonestly itâs weird how adamant people are there have always been people who solely preferred one sex over the other. While itâs generally true for modern society, people wouldnât have even understood what you mean in ancient times by âsexual orientationâ, really. I mean you could obviously explain it and people could answer to a degree, butâŠ
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 donât have relative words for directions, and they only use cardinal directions, all the time. As in if theyâre hanging a painting, theyâd say âno, no, a bit to the northâ instead of âleftâ. 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 itâs simple that you just use left and right, why wouldnât you, when people know what it means and itâs simple. So why doesnât that tribe use them? Idk, itâs just not in their culture. Just like such strict classifications of sexual orientation werenât much of a thing in ancient and prehistoric times.

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