Have you ever questioned your sexuality?

[3113]

[eta] Which makes me wonder, and maybe this is a topic for another thread, but to what extent are women aware of the minor boner when you're close to a man?

Depends on how minor it is and how many layers of clothing there are between you and the man

 

[McKenna]

Hell, that part's easy. There's buttons in there that need pressin'

Just sayin'

I have so much to learn.

Exactly.
Physiology is physiology.
If a space's been made for fillin', and the accepted way of fillin' it don't set off the rockets, then you have to find some way of doing it......hence toys, fingers..........

I like this explanation. Thanks for sharing, Mat.

 

[THROBBS]

I love woman.

 

[rgraham666]

Moi aussi.

 

[McKenna]

By a strange coincidence, so do I.

Just maybe not in the same way you two do.

"coincidence"?
not likely...we are homosympatico.

 

[THROBBS]

I ponder my sexuality...I have not "questioned" it.

 

[Belegon]

I've questioned. And in some ways, pondered and even experimented a bit. It simply seems illogical to me that in a world where love is so hard to find we should eliminate half our possibilities.

I'm not turned off by seeing a man kiss another man. I'm just not much beyond curious about it, at least right now. I've kissed another man before... and it wasn't like kissing a woman.

Does that mean it never will be? I'd hate to say never. Who knows what the future holds? But my interest in women has always been extremely strong in every way.

So I hold the possibility of bisexuality to be open. I am not gay. I can say never about that... I will never lose my physical attraction to women.

Who I fall in love with is who I fall in love with. If I fall in love with a man, we'll make it work.

 

[cheerful_deviant]

Yes, I've discovered I'm actually a lesbian.

Lisa, is that you?

[CrimsonMaiden]

I'm fairly certain I'm straight. I do have a little bit of curiousity as to what it would be like to be with a woman, but I don't think it's something that will ever define who I am.

 

[SlickTony]

I'm straight by experience and conditioning; when I realized that reading a woman-on-woman scene, or writing one, turned me on, I wondered if I was perhaps bi, or had the potential to be. But then I decided that it was simply because I have a good imagination. However, I'm not as straight as my husband; while I can imagine having a same-sex encounter if the conditions were right, he says he never could.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Y'know... truly? I wondered if I didn't harbor some kind of sexual feelings for guys, once. I tend to think and overthink and rethink and analyze just about everything--I live in the minutae, which is one of the more annoying things about disagreeing with me, because I don't really care what the big picture is if the little components don't fit appropriately.

So, I got to thinking about it and I couldn't really understand why I dug porn with dudes in it. That's really how I thought about it. I was sitting there, one night, in college, and I was watching something... I think it was some gonzo porn thing online. And, I remember thinking--I'm watching this girl blow this guy. And I noticed, at that time, that most of the porn I liked had a guy in it.

So, I got to asking a couple of my friends and they were like "Oh, I can't watch porn with a dick in it". And I figured, well... what does that say about me, then? Do I find guys attractive? Am I somewhat gay?

So, shit. I got to thinking about it and asking friends about porn preferences and whatnot. And I ended up at some forum somewhere (not here, some place before here, I can't recall what it was called, now).

Anyhow, I asked a thread, there whether or not I was gay-ish for preferring porn with a dude in it.

And a gay guy sent me a half-dozen short clips of what he said were "the best of the best in gay feature porn". And while I watched them, and was just wide-eyed amazed... it was a spectacle, really. I kinda realized I was watching this much as I would watch animals having sex. Not to belittle homosexual sex, but that's about the level of arousal I found--zero, only a fairly clinical curiosity about the mechanics.

So, after a year or two of that kind of wondering and whatnot, I figured out what "voyeurism" was and found that I was someone who dug that.

Not dudes.

So, technically, that would be a "heterosexual, have questioned".

Haha, Joe!
This explains so very much about you

And in the right circumstances, could be of great benefit to some woman-- knowing you're going to make sure all the little components fit...

 

[WRJames]

I've always considered myself straight -- for example, at nude beaches where it was about ninety percent guys (mostly gay) I was ignoring them.

But when I started my latest round of writing, the Eden series, the characters were all bisexual. My main male character, who is something of an alter ego (a soccer player, a composer, etc.) has a major problem with his marriage because of a preference for older men. Where is that coming from?

So I don't know. I find it a lot easier to understand why girls are attracted to girls.

 

[AvoidingRealWork]

I will admit to finding the penis fascinating, but I've never been all that interested in what's typically attached to it.

 

[TE999]

Hetero--I love women! They fascinate me.

I had a mild curiosity for guys in my younger days--but nothing developed.

I find women sexy and exciting. And love pleasing them.

But yet I enjoy writing a lot of Lesbian themed stories. Go figure.

Voyeurism. Oh yeah, I'm into that.

 

[AvoidingRealWork]

What scares me just a bit is that I can get inside the heads of my straight female characters and understand what makes them attracted to men. I can see the attraction to men from their perspective, even though I'm not attracted to men.

Is that odd? Or do I just have an overactive imagination?

Would you like the answer that's going to make you feel better, or the truth?

I'm kidding. I'd guess it means you have a good imagination, good empathy with the characters you write. Getting into the heads of your characters is sometimes a good thing, makes for more believable stuff.

Honestly, if I woke up as a woman one morning, I would be a straight woman, not a lesbian. I can see from a woman's perspective what is interesting and attractive about men. But I'm a man, and I'm after what it is that completes me. The act of penile-vaginal coitus is to me the ultimate expression of human passion, and I would want to participate in that from whatever gender I happen to be.

It would be really cool if my wife and I could switch genders, just for a day. Or a month.

Freaky Friday, revisited. Or would that be Fucking Friday?

Has it been done on Lit? I may have to pen one otherwise. I've read one or two gender-swap stories, maybe ten years ago.

Would it go in Sci-Fi or ...heh... Loving Wives?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Okay...jesus, I'll do you already.

Just don't wear the pink corset.

 

[rgraham666]

But, damn. I like that pink corset.
