Perhaps we should dismiss such rigid inflexible labels...and just say that everyone has a unique fingerprint sexuality, a summary of degrees of inclinations (or repulsions) to each gender and perhaps other polarised factors such as submissiveness and dominance or age and youth.

How this sexuality comes about for me is partly nature (genotypal expression) and environment AND the circumstantial choices made...incremental choices that over time reinforce or perhaps regress a natual disposition/indisposition.

I dunno...this is all my own thought...no references,


People are under no obligation to peruse their natural preferences, and can fall in love and marry someone and have a completely platonic (or not) relationship. I don't find it hard to believe that someone can choose their sexuality. It may not be honest, but it's still theirs to choose.

I didn't choose to be straight.

What do you mean when you use the word "sexuality" ? It seems you use a different meaning than others.
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease.
It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you posted previously that you were conflicted at some point, with some guy, just recently?

Don't make me go digging through old posts. :(



I wasnt confused...I dont class myself as heterosexual in the same way most people do...I am habitually heterosexual...I generally find women more interesting....but that is not always the case...especially with feminine, intelligent and attractive males.

Oh, in that case, fucking deal with it. Making out is not fucking each other in the streets as celebration of their marriage. Really, do you grab a cane and beat young teens who you see kissing and holding hands in public? "Die, youngsters, for violating the virginity of your mouth hole!"

What's your stance on the US Constitution

Postby Provinkiae Unidta » Sun Jul 31, 2011 11:14 am

Laws against marriage equality for same-sex couples violate the United States Constitution and supporting these laws are un-American.

We should make marriage an entirely private affair. Too much money is spent on weddings anyway.

I cant stand any couple 'making out' in public (gender is irrelevant) as you americans say....it is mildy offensive imo.

Especially if you are trying to eat something.

Public displays of intimacy are fine as long as people keep their body parts out of each others bodies.
