Sexuality

I love discussions about sexuality. I hate when people say it's immoral to be a certain sexuality. If you want to use the bible as a reason to say that "being gay is a sin" you probably shouldn't be eating shrimp, wearing clothes with more than one type of fabric, sitting in the presence of somebody that is menstruating, or shaving. Picking and choosing which rules you want to follow seems a bit crazy in my view.

Anyway, back to the topic of Sexuality. Looking back at the original post, I can still say I agree with a lot of what Kirjava said. However, I definitely think sexuality exists. I completely agree that it can't be something that you look at as black and white. It is a spectrum, and I believe it's constantly evolving as a person gets older.

The Kinsey scale is a great example of how a person's views can change. If you look at the Wikipedia page on the Kinsey scale, you'll see that 11% of males age 20-35 fall under the category of a 3 at some time during their life. I think sexuality should be viewed on a spectrum in the same way that gender is. I'm not talking about biological or genotypic sex. Even if you look at a person's genotype, there can be a number of physiological differences that could make them view their own gender as something different than their sex.

Thank you for saying im sexy!

I am same way with what I think of attractive guys. I find the cute ones to to be thin, hairless, and have a very effeminate face the avatar I have right now(Brandon Hilton). But unlike you I want to handle his junk !

Breast is not that attractive to me and even if it is attractive I think small is better, but think the chest itself is very attractive instead of the breast alone.

I too usually play as the female charecter because I think it would be very intresting to be a girl. Amybe even to the point where I might do some hormon therapy to get rid of body hair and look overall more feminine. Of course I would never get a sex change but it would be intresting to be more womanly.
 
I was reading somewhere that in Roman times, it would be weird to NOT be gay.(Homosexual or idk how else its appropriate to say). That most royalty were men that at the end of a party, wanted other men.
So I assume that somewhere over time, someone said that was wrong? Because now(especially in the past) it was bad to be gay. Like the fact that they cant marry in most places of USA. Not so sure how the rest of the worlds laws are.

I can say I have thought about it.. Everyone asks them self(besides people that already know), Am i Gay? Could i be gay?
Well im not :p. I just cant see myself doing that.
The farthest I can get to gay is a bromance. Thats about it.

I hope i stayed on topic.

As you propably know, love can be about a lot more than sex. But I understand how the signature can be confusing, as "make love" implies having sex. But putting it before "not war" I think the meaning changes a bit.

Yeah, but the phrase stems from the "sexual revolution" that occured during the 60s. Its current interpretation can be versatile though, that's true. I tend to think of the old defenition when I see it used ;).

I've searched this thread and found only a few words about it. Do You consider asexuality a sexual orientation? Or maybe a disorder/illness?
Ps.: Some cubers claimed being heterosexual, some homosexual and some bisexual, are there any asexual cubers? I doubt I'm the only one.
Ps2.: I hope You won't consider me too young to post in this thread, though if You will, I'll just delete this post.

Asexual means that you don't need a partner to have baby's...

Well my science teacher told us that most people get it wrong, and think otherwise.

Did you know that you don't have to be right all the time to be a teacher? Look it up; it's not actually one of the requirements.

But yeah, there are two different definitions of asexual - sexological (lack of interest in sex and/or sexual attraction) and biological (being able to create offspring with only one parent). Fortunately it's pretty much always obvious which one is meant from context.
 
"The simplest definition to "being a Christian" would be that who follows the word of Christ. Not some BS book"

If you disregard such "BS" sources, where do you get your Christ from?

Alright not quite what I was getting at, but fair enough.
The creation story. The old testament. I'm sure some of it holds some grain of truth somewhere, but the New Testament is the only thing that i'll even remotely believe.

My big point is that the whole thing has been retold so many times that it's been warped over.

I found this article a few weeks back. Before this I was not aware of asexuality as a sexual orientation, nor had I encountered the idea that sexual attraction and romantic attraction are separate things and that you can have one but not the other. But it made a surprising amount of sense to me. I had always been romantically attracted to guys, so I assumed I was heterosexual. But I've never really looked at a person and thought "I'd like to have sex with him/her". I can say a guy is hot, but it's the same kind of assessment I would be making if I observed that a girl is cute. When I was a teenager, sex was not on my radar at all. I knew it existed, but I had no desire to have it myself. I assumed everyone else was the same way and was practically unaware of the fact that my 16-18 year old peers could be sexually active. A lot of perspectives I found on AVEN seem to echo my thoughts and experiences.

Discovering the existence of asexuality was a pretty big paradigm shift for me and I'm still not sure what to think. I'm not ruling out the possibility that I might lie somewhere in the grey area between true asexuality and sexuality, or the possibility that I simply have a repressed attitude toward sex as a result of a sheltered upbringing. But seeing it mentioned here at least assures me that I'm not quite so alone.
