marsoupial they/them Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Hey guys. Due to some recent buzz on the "Relationships" thread, I figured I could make a thread where we can feel safe talking about LGBT+ problems without having to worry about derailing other topics. Also, it'd be super cool to get a feel of the sexual dispersion (?) here on the Shard. This is a learning space, where others' opinions can be respected and, ideally, you can learn something from them. Please only post on this topic if you feel comfortable doing so.
Mestiv he/him Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I'm a boring hetero guy, so I don't think I have much to contribute

I say this in jest, I know many hetero guys (actually, most all the guys I know fall under said category), and they're mostly all quality fellows. The other not-so-quality ones are not so quality not due to their straight-ness. (Try not to think about that too hard. I barely comprehend it and I wrote the thing.)

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 You'll get a better feel for the orientation of the forum if you make an anonymous Poll. A lot of people tend to lurk, but will still answer polls. 1

Zathoth Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I was once bitten by a gay guy... and licked by a bisexual guy... No you are not getting any backstory. I am boring and straight as well though. There was this really cute girl biting me at the same time too... 1
Quadrophenia Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Well... I'm genderqueer, I identify as both genders and sort of... switch in-between. Sometimes I feel like a laidback dude or I get really upbeat and peppy as a girl. It depends, I think it's a hormonal thing. But that's not the topic, so sexual orientation wise... pansexual. But if I had to break it down, guys generally tend to come first in my mind. 1

marsoupial they/them Posted September 22, 2016 Author Posted September 22, 2016 One could say that my bar door swings both ways. Or, if you prefer, I am a "switch hitter." Any other bisexual euphemisms are accepted and appreciated. 1
Zathoth Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I really like Ambisextrous, from The Wise Mans Fear. So thats what Im going to call it from now on.

I like that one too (I read about the first half of WMF but had to return it to the library and never got around to getting back to it) but I'm left handed. It would be more applicable if I was, in fact, ambidextrous. Edited September 22, 2016 by bleeder

'Cause then I can call myself ambisextrous...? ...nah, not worth it. I'll just stick with "switch hitter" and "I like dudes and chicks get over it." I use that second one more often than you'd think, due to my location.

I sometimes sit on jokes for months before I find a situation to use it.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Eh...I've made enough oblique references that I might as well just say it: Kinsey 5, though "gay" takes less time to say. I'm pretty sure at this point, anyway. I might just go with "Apache helicopter" as my official answer. 7

I'm one of those male Apache helicopters that also likes women. Edited September 22, 2016 by bleeder 2
Quiver he/him Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Male gender, straight sexuality. Much boring, very single.
Arraenae Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 No idea, possibly asexual. I don't seem to get as obsessed with hot guys as much as the stereotypical valley girl does. My reaction is usually okay, that person is good looking, who cares, let's move on.
Mestiv he/him Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I was waiting for Apache Helicopters to show up anyway, to contribute to this topic I must say I don't even personally know anyone who isn't heterosexual, so I find everything I read about it quite interesting. What's the difference between pansexual and bisexual? 2

What's the difference between pansexual and bisexual? There's not much of a difference imo; I used to identify as pan, now bi. I think it's mostly personal preference. People think bisexual is more exclusive, just guys and girls no in between, but I don't think that way. I don't factor in gender when attraction is the subject matter. And hey, @TwiLyghtSansSparkles, I didn't know about the Kinsey scale until you mentioned it! Kinsey 3. Edited September 22, 2016 by bleeder
