uality) AH!!!


DO you believe people can be attracted to both genders or is it straight and narrow like you are either straight or gay. Because sometimes, I have a hard time not thinking naughty thoughts around hot women (like my costumer who just left) and no, I am not Bi or gay!

    your naughty thoughts make me think naughty thoughts!
    1. LolitaV
      lol, seriously. I mean I see them and me and then no clothes and then you know and then I get scared and then I feel bad and i like it! so your thoughts on sexuality?
    2. cookingasshole
      I am a dude and I don't find other dudes attractive. I can see how the ladies could not resist finding each other attractive though.
    3. Agit8r
      I agree with CA's initial reaction. I even worked the price scanner gun into the scenario.

      Seriously though, you may by bi oriented. No shame in that, right?
    4. LolitaV
      yes. there is shame. We all know bi's r sluts who can't make up their minds
    5. Epicharis
      hey! that's so rude! and not remotely... oh wait, you have a point...
    6. hatingtherain
      "bi's r sluts"

      kind of like "toys r us" with a sexual connotation...oh nevermind..
    7. LolitaV


      straights are sluts too hung up on the same 'ish

    I believe it depends on the individual. For what it's worth, Nigella Lawson said she thought every heterosexual woman had a fantasy involving other women at some point in their life.

    As for me, my parents recently put transferred their early home movies from the 1970s onto DVD. At the age of six, there is recorded evidence of me embracing my blonde, blue eyed babysitter and saying, "I like girls!"
    1. LolitaV
      LOL!!!! r u gay? my son picks up hair off the floor and hands it to girls getting their hair done and every time a guy looks at him he growls at them
    2. greencurmudgeon
      Lolita -

      I think the point was the opposite; I've had a long standing, if earthy, appreciation of women. And definitely nothing to do with hair...at least in and of itself.
  3. rickyjr
    hot girls are hot
    1. LolitaV
      i know, specially ones with red hair or chocolate brown skin. OHWWHH!!!
    2. rickyjr
      they are rare, but they are good
  4. nothingprofound
    People have been known to fantasize about tree mold and electric toasters. In the kingdom of sex anything is possible.
    1. LolitaV
      ewww mold? and toasters? what do you fantasize about? c'mon spill it?,spill it? is it ties? because you are more of the leather underwear type.
    2. greencurmudgeon
      This actually adheres to the thesis propounded by Lacan, Zizek and Freud that desires are taught, not inherent.

      I tend to think this theory goes a bit too far, but there is an element of truth in it.
    3. nothingprofound
      I have never worn a suit or tie in my life. I'm more the t-shirt and short shorts type. Gorgeous sentences make me drool. That's what I fantasize about.
    4. AngieA
      Tree mold and electric toasters??? Really???
      Mannn Iv live a shelter life.

      To answer the Q,
      I personally have never ever, had any fantasy thoughts about another women.

      Men? wellllll, that's an entire different subject. lol
    5. nothingprofound
      In Arizona I belonged to an organization that put on sexual awareness workshops. You wouldn't believe the things that turn people on.
    6. LolitaV
      this guy came into my salon asking me if i knew any single black woman with white palms and feet because when he was in Elementary school in Portugal, the teacher who beat him and broke his skull had white palms and feet and now that's all that turns him on.
  5. FatX
    Men and women are attracted to hot women.
  6. melindaville
    Yes, I do. I have been attracted to women before and have made love to women and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. And I do not consider myself gay *at all.*

    I do agree with Green that it depends on the person. One of my very best friends in the world, who was gay used to say this:

    "Melinda, gay is like the word tall. Everyone is a little tall--even midgets; it just depends on how tall."

    Kent died of AIDS in 1986 (R.I.P. my beloved friend)--his loss one of the hardest I have ever been through. I miss him constantly.
    1. melindaville
      I should add that it's been more than twenty years since I made love to a woman. It was driven by curiousity in my younth--plus the most gorgeous French woman seduced me and I was so intrigued I just let her go for it!
    2. LolitaV
      so sorry on your loss. I mean I have had sexual contact with girl(s) as a teen and it was great. I just thought all girls did that to "learn" & "experiment" but now, now, it's sheer lust!
      My husband's called me a lesbian and bi before (but he doesn't mind as long as he gets to share in but since i don't share, i won't do nothing, I HOPE)but i know/think, i m straight
    3. melindaville
      Yes, most men have fantasies about it--including my husband. I don't think he'd mind if I had another encounter--as long as he were included that is!

      I went to boarding school as a teen and it was there that I first started experimenting with the other girls--but that was only brief experimentation.

      It was this lovely French woman who pushed me down onto my bed one night--after we'd enjoyed a bottle of champagne and some very fine cocaine. She took me to another planet--I swear! That was the real thing.

      She was gay, though, and kind of fell in love with me--after which things became messier because as fun as it was--she didn't have the right accessory for true fulfillment (if you know what I mean!).
    4. LolitaV
      boy do it! shemales have all the fun!!
    5. melindaville
      Oh she wasn't a she-male. She was 100% woman, believe me!

      (and I am not a she-male either--I was born with female accessories!).
    6. lotusb
      I'm sorry for your loss Melinda...he was obviously a wise and hilarious man.
    7. Stillthinking
      @Melinda
      I believe that everyone falls onto the scale of sexuality with exclusively hetero on one end and exclusively homo on the other. I definitely have had crushes on other women and would not rule out a lovely relationship with a woman at all. I still love men though and would never be able to give them up entirely.

      It's funny you talked about an experience with a gorgeous French woman as it happens to be something I have fantasized about. I think about moving to Paris and having an affair with a beautiful French woman sometimes. It just seems like something to do when you're in Paris!

    8. melindaville
      He really was, Lotus--he was so funny and wise at the same time. I've never met anyone like him before or since.

      He was also the best friend any woman could ask for.
    9. melindaville
      @Still--I agree with you entirely. I am not gay--but I do think it is possible to find a woman attractive and even find love with a woman. I have a few female friends who are not gay yet their are in lesbian relationships because of their bad experiences with men (one friend was in a terribly abusive marriage for years).

      Christine was absolutely gorgeous--although I didn't meet her in Paris--I met her in San Francisco. I did go to Paris with her, though, after we became friends.

      I lost track of her--but I do not regret our affair. She was amazing.
    10. lotusb
      It seems sometimes those who posess the talent of inspiring laughter and reflection are the ones who tend to leave us before their time. You carry his memory very well.
    11. melindaville
      Thanks Lotus--and I agree. And it's funny--even though he's been dead for over 20 years, I still feel his presence at times.
  7. Epicharis
    Well...I have a biased opinion as I'm 'bisexual', but I think everyone can be sexually attracted to someone of the same biological sex. Gender is more complicated than just male and female.
    1. dbowles1017
      I may have to rethink visiting England...
    2. dbowles1017
      Too late to change my mind now.
  8. trailofpen
    In no way, shape, or form do I find my own sex attractive. I'm a lesbian stuck in a man's body.
    1. LolitaV
      hey man are hot, you don't know what you are missing
    2. trailofpen
      I'm in a man's body all day everyday. I know exactly what I'm missing.
    3. LolitaV
      but until you've tried it, you don't
    4. trailofpen
      Oh dear god. *BARF*
    5. noetic
      I really dislike when guys say "I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body."

      Because of gender identity, this can sometimes be true. But what most people mean is "I'm a MAN trapped inside a man's body."

      If you are a lesbian trapped inside a man's body, then you will identify yourself as female. You might even dress like a woman and try to fit into female social roles. If this isn't the case, you're probably just a man.
    6. Epicharis
      Totally agree, noetic. Most people seem to throw around terms related to sexual identity with no idea what they actually mean.
    7. LolitaV
      he is trying to say that he loves women too much to EVER want a dude
    8. Epicharis
      That just makes him a heterosexual male...a lesbian trapped in a man's body would be someone who identifies as female.
    9. trailofpen
      I'm such a woman... *blush* ya know gurl!
  9. stellak
    Personally I can say I've never felt attracted to another female, but I do think its possible. I like me too much...perhaps too much for my own good.
    1. LolitaV
      so u r narcissistic?
    2. stellak
      hahahaha its a typo- I like MEN too much...
    3. LolitaV
      lolzz, i thought was she's brave but now i'm thinking hoah she's horny (jk)
  10. timethief
      I've never been attracted to other women. I adore men. This is not to say that it's not possible. It is to say that such attraction has never arisen in me, and I have never fantasized about being with another woman.
    1. AngieA
      @TT
      I was beginning to think I was from Mars, as I am pretty much the same way.
      EXCEPT for this one liner here you wrote > This is not to say that it's not possible.
      That line, I would have to change to read:> Just not possible.
  11. lotusb
    Sexuality, outside of it's use for procreation, is totally in our minds. In todays times, procreation is FAR from the reason most people engage in sex. Instead sex has a lot more to do with your personality, lifestlye, preference, upbringing..etc. There is no such thing as Gay, Straight, Bi...etc. These are just societies way of branding us for advertising and marketing purposes. It gives us a box to check on an social network profile. I am a woman who prefers to date men, but I have been very attracted to women before. I think for men it's a bit different, just because men from an asexual standpoint are not as physically desirable as women. Women's bodies are soft and curvacious and we have smooth skin and long hair. Men's bodied are functional in many ways and are usually seen as sexually appeasing for more than physical reasons. These reasons are usually processed through the eyes of someone who is feminine...a woman or a gay male. This translates into sexuality, but really it's all in our minds.

      A woman's body is a work of art. A man's body is like a jeep - Elaine from Seinfeld

      Great answer
    2. voodooKobra
      Yeah, I agree with lotusb.

      [I am a woman who prefers to date men, but I have been very attracted to women before.]
      I'm the exact opposite of this on every level. (By that, I mean I'm a dude who prefers chicks.)

      [I think for men it's a bit different, just because men from an asexual standpoint are not as physically desirable as women.]
      I concur with this entirely.
  12. JonnyDunMind
    Meh, I know guys with more attractive personalities than many girls, but the thought of sex with a guy makes me recoil. I like Lotusb's comment though, it's interesting.

  13. kbrummell
    ANYTIME A PERSON HAD THOUGHTS OF THE SAME SEX, IT'S CALLED GAY TENDENCIES WHICH DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE GAY BUT SIMPLY MEANS YOU ARE CAPABLE OF TAKING A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE. MY NEXT BLOG ENTRY MAY BE ON HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT GAYS IN THE MILITARY AS I'M A VETERAN. LOL

    www.realtalkandpeople.blogspot.com
    1. lotusb
      Confused about your placement of "LOL"...side from that, I disagree. I think labels force us into these thinking-patterns and they can be destructive. If you choose to identify yourself as GAY it's probably because you live your lifestyle in accordance with choosing same sex partners because of who you are. If, like me, you occasionally have a chick-crush or had a 5 hour make out session with your best friend when you were 19, that doesn't make you GAY...it makes you kind of a slut. But not gay.
  14. Sam1982
    I dont think it makes you gay - I just think it makes your husband extremely lucky
    1. LolitaV
      not so lucky since i would never let another woman's FILTHY hands touch his body on purpose. He is my secret
    2. Sam1982
      You sound a lot like my fiance - wants a threesome but doesnt want to share me with anyone else
    3. LolitaV
      i told him the only 3some i'd ever have and want is one in which they both pleasure me to kingdom come yet they don't touch or talk to each other. ALL attention on me. I am selfish like that.
    4. Sam1982
      Yeah that still sounds like her but interestingly enough for her its always been FFM not MMF for her. Not that Im complaining.

      She's still yet to master me and what Im all about out yet so 3 in the bed is still a bit of a hand full (pun intended) for her
  15. celticmusicfan
    Hmm... interesting. If I see a naked woman then i would be appreciative of her in an easthetic sense.But nothing on the stirred up side. I have seen lady friends naked and I didn't mind so much except telling them what angle is better on camera(art photoshoot).With men. i have male pals and we have been naked together and it's not like it's going to drive me crazy. It depends whom you're with.
    1. Sam1982
      Damn, my female friends tend not to get naked infront of me.....actually some of them have. But still.
  16. faithsju243
    Interesting...I think that people can be attrached to both men and women because both men and women are both physically attractive. However, there is a difference from recognizing another attractive person whether that person is male or female vs being sexually interested in said person. I know I know no one likes to be categorized but hey it is what it is. Pick a team and swing or just play the game and everyone else will pick your team for you, whatever.

    Ok Lolita I have a question, why wouldn't you label yourself bi...is it because you've never performed the act before? IMO doing the act isn't what makes you gay or straight...I mean someone who is celibate doesn't perform the act but is still gay, straight, bi or whatever. If you are sexually attracted to women and men IMO you're bi regardless of whether you perform an act with either one.

    Or we can call you straight with bi tendencies !
    1. Sam1982
      In your opinion though is there a difference between bi-sexual and bi-curious. I think there is a difference personally but quite often they get passed off as the same thing
    2. celticmusicfan
      you are only bisexual if you stay on the preference for life. you are bi-curious if it is an ocassional thing and you don't want to stick with it...nor you are attracted to someone of the same sex.
    3. LolitaV
      because i don't like labels. I even can't say that i am straight or a democrat because i don't like statistics and 'teams' i just want to be a human girl who knows what she wants when she sees it and not be judged or labeled, i know!!! but still. and yes, i have been with girls before.
    4. celticmusicfan
      Yes labels suck. but it is a marketing tool as well ;).anyhow i don't mind labels though i partially stir away from them.i am after all a person of many facets-as everyone is in this forum.
    5. voodooKobra
      On the flipside, labels serve to simplify complex ideas. They're not perfect, but they save you the effort of explaining it to most people.
  17. hatingtherain
    While I can look at a woman, like Angelina Jolie and think she's hot, I can't imagine actually going much beyond kissing a female, and I know, because I've tried a few times, and it just didn't do anything for me.

    With men, I have a hard time not jumping on a hot one as they walk by
    1. LolitaV
      you slut!!:p
      i couldn't see myself going there on a woman but the woman i had in front of me today made me think thoughts that scared the shit out of me
    2. dbowles1017
      You should do it lolita.
    3. LolitaV
      well i couldn't never hit on a woman the odds that they are thinking the same thing as me are against me. Besides, she is married and more than likely straight and narrow. she wasn't A. Jolie hot more like Jennifer Garner cool and I loved her smile. she's coming back on sunday
    4. dbowles1017
      Just get her reallllllll drunk.
    5. Sam1982
      You never know - there is a science to pheromones perhaps she had the same feelings and her scent (for lack of a better word) that she was giving off is what made your mind go gaga
    6. celticmusicfan
      Ok I am thinking of posting a Legolas pic
    7. LolitaV
      that won't mean i'm giving her a discount though. plus can't she sue me for sexual harassment since she is my costumer too?
  18. dbowles1017
    I am not now, or ever, or ever will be attracted to a male. Females are just too damn pretty.
    1. Sam1982
      I heard you took one for the team?
    2. dbowles1017
      Twas a lie. Besides I don't take one for the team, because the hot ones are always in to me
    3. Agit8r
      chicks dig the lamp
    4. dbowles1017
      They do. I tell them it is magical.
  19. celticmusicfan
    forgive my ignorance and please don't laugh. what do you mean by lamp? is it reffering to a quality in a person like being smart or witty?
    1. dbowles1017
      I love lamp.
    2. Epicharis
      Someone a while ago thought that the the white oval in dbowles' avatar was a lamp
  20. celticmusicfan
    I actually thought that's a studio light.
  21. LolitaV
    lol, wtf is it then? I thought it was a ghost
    1. dbowles1017
      It's a white censor plate.
  22. Sam1982
    Clearly its a speech bubble with some chinese characters in it
  23. nothingprofound
    I think on the subject of sex I'd agree with anything lotusb says. Experience always trumps ideas.
    1. Epicharis
      lotus, I think he just called you a ho...


    2. nothingprofound
      Not a ho. Just able and willing.
  24. HollytheHousewife
    WELL... I think sex should be between man and woman,BUT that's just me I have no problem with anyone else's preference. That is on them,it's their business...I am no one to judge
    1. LolitaV
      okay. SO! You say you think sex should be btween X&Y so then you do mind others' preferences, if you didn't you would have said to each their own
  25. Sam1982
    It was interesting (but true all the same) a bisexual woman once told me that she picked partners out of love and conectivity, not out of sexual preference. She didnt let society limit her choices, she simply followed her heart.
  26. wagerwitch
    Here's my take on it.

    I "could" make love to a woman and laugh with her...

    However, I cannot see myself walking hand in hand in the sunset of forever with a woman.


    Women are beautiful creatures in so many ways... And being a woman who appreciates myself... I find that other women are attractive.

    Things that we are attracted to - often that attraction will lead to sexual thoughts... Because we are sexual beings...

    We were created by sex - we came into this world through a woman - and we are driven by sex to procreate.

    It is NOT abnormal to fantasize about another woman.

    It is - however - different than you are used to.

    How you act upon a fantasy depends on how "free" you feel yourself to be.

    Each person has their own boundary. If you have fantasies about women - then perhaps you are willing to cross that boundary in your own mind. This is neither good or bad - and you shouldn't think badly about it.

    I mean - humans are sexual - period.

    How you act upon your fantasies - may be who you are.

    Your sexual orientation is what your MAIN preference is.

    For example: YOU LOVE STEAK.

    Every dinner you have steak.

    So once in awhile - a nice watermelon comes along.

    Now - just because you indulge yourself in a few bites or slices of that watermelon - doesn't mean you're going to eat ONLY watermelon for the rest of your life.

    You might just like having a slice of watermelon once in awhile.

    Yanno?

    LOL!

    But don't freak yourself out about it.

    You're in a period of your life where you are opening yourself up sexually - and learning about your own sexuality.

    That's a very enlightening experience for some.

    And once you open your eyes to sexuality - you find that there are other things that are involved.

    For example: Toys... Other people... Videos... Games... etc.

    She might have just peaked your interest - and that's totally cool.

    Just because your interest is peaked doesn't mean you're going to go out and buy the whole car... yanno?

    You might just want to take a couple rides in it. LOL!

    Anyhow - I say go for it - if it's permitted in your lifestyle...

    And you can understand that it's no big deal.

    If you are one of those people that get consumed by guilt if you step out of your boundaries - then DON'T do it.

    I say sex is very important. And if you enjoy trying ANYTHING that doesn't hurt anyone else - then you are good to go.

    For me - it wouldn't work - at this point in my life.

    I'm not saying it wouldn't EVER work - I'm just saying it doesn't right now.

    But - don't feel horrible because you felt attracted to a woman.

    Attraction is normal - and so are fantasies.

    Your action upon your fantasy - is what you need to determine.

    Do YOU want to be with a woman?
    Will it bother you later to be with a woman?
    Will it affect your current relationship?
    Ask the hubby or significant - IF they would allow it.
    Decide if you want to bring another person into your relationship sexually.
    Weigh the pros and cons of doing the action.
    What does it mean to you if you sleep with a woman? (for example: does it mean you're cheating? Does it mean you don't WANT your significant any more? Does it mean you're bored with your sex life? Does it mean you want ONLY women? Does it mean you'll want to do this more than once?
    Think it through - decide if you still want to do it.
    If you've taken the time to think about it --- then plan it... Or forget about it.

    Just like any decision...

    Just because you drive a rental porsche - doesn't mean you don't want or need your Corvette at home.

    LOL!
    In my book - honesty is EVERYTHING.

    Be honest with your significant.

    Don't do something behind his back.

    But - other than that - if you both agree on it - go for it!

    LOL!

    I'm easy.

      Did I just read "steak"? Because after that, I can't remember anything else you wrote... bbq steak and beer, caveman style.
  27. amybyrd21
    Here is my view and I know someone is going to get mad. Its a mans fantasy mostly. Men think it is ok for women to get together because that is something they like to watch. And they shutter at the thought of another man touching them. Most women I know dont like it either eay just men and women but I am in the Bible Belt and it strangles people with that belt every day. In the big cities I have been to and the people I have talked to there are alot of people that have no problem with it either way.
    I try not to be judgemental on any person and they can do what they want where they want as long as it is not infront of my children. As for me I do not know if I could do anything like that because the opportunity has never presented itself.
    1. Epicharis
      I really don't get the "in front of my children" thing...I wouldn't want anyone to have sex in front of my children...or are you saying that you don't want your children to see the disgusting and harmful sight of two men holding hands or two women kissing?
    2. trailofpen
      I've seen heads explode on grown men and women who've seen such things, but kids... man... we're talking full body meltdown.

      J/K
    3. crpitt
      heads explode on grown men, yeah me too.
    4. amybyrd21
      not seeing it. I had to ask my neighbor not to smoke pot in front of then on their porch. One of my teachers on a school trip to Chicago screamed out in the middle of a mall at two guys kissing and told us all you girls cover your eyes.
    5. Epicharis
      gross, claire.
    6. crpitt
      I know I know

      But seriously, the not in front of the children thing pisses me off.
  28. braincatcher
    Is it attraction or envy?
    1. trailofpen
      I can see how a guy can find me attractive. I'm not gonna lie. People's clothes fly off when I walk past them. That's just how it is. I'm the only guy I'm attracted to. If that makes me gay, then so be it. That's probably why I stare in the mirror for 10 minutes every morning. "Who is that handsome man?"
  29. crpitt
    DO you believe people can be attracted to both genders: Yes
  30. amybyrd21
    "as long as it is not infront of my children " It says as long as it is NOT in front of my children!!!!!!
    1. Epicharis
      yeah, I know. That's what I don't get.

      PDA public displays of affection. walking thru walmart and some man kissing another man infront of my kids. It is ok behind cloesd door but not in front of my kids.
    3. Epicharis
      Are you equally offended by the sight of a man kissing a woman?
    4. dbowles1017
      homophobe?
    5. amybyrd21
      No I am not offended I just do not see very many open gay or Bi women here. And they do not kiss in public. Like I said before I live in the Bible Belt (Very religious people around here with out any toleration for that kind of stuff.) No open minded people like me. My bg question is it natural because you do not see animals doing it I mean I dont have any that I have noticed.
    6. crpitt
      Do animals kiss in front of children? I have not noticed that either.
    7. amybyrd21
      Ok How in the Hell do you explain that to a 4 year old? and as far as animals I said I:"" My big question is it natural because you do not see animals doing it I mean I dont have any that I have noticed "

      I have not done a search on it. It is not there on the top of my list on things to search on the internet. I do not care what people do behind closed doors or anything else. but I am in no mood to try to tell a 4 year old why those two men were kissing ahd holding hands.
    8. Epicharis
      Try this:

      "They love each other"
    9. dbowles1017
      Or maybe. Some boys like others. And some girls like other girls. Its perfectly fine.
    10. amybyrd21
      obviously you do not have a 4 year old. I have to feild questions like why arent there dinasours in the Bible (he goes to church not me) and Mom how does that work and simple answers do not get it he wants the full answer and ot just some lame little answer
    11. Epicharis
      I helped to bring up a child who is now 7...she is the most inquisitive person I've ever known...she has no problem with the concept of homosexuality.
    12. amybyrd21
      Ok here is a new news headline " Epicharis teaches sex ed to 4 year olds"
    13. Epicharis
      It's not a matter of sexual education...it's about how to explain 2 men kissing. Obviously I did not discuss sex with her, but I did explain that some men love men and marry men, and some women love women and marry women. It's not a bizarre concept, and it's not difficult to explain.
    14. melindaville
      Amy, honestly--I don't think you are being tolerant at all. Ten percent of the population is gay and the great majority of people in gay relationships are in them because that is their 'natural tendency.'

      I don't have a four year old but I am an aunt to several kids and none of them have had any trouble understanding that love can and does exist in male-female relationships, male-male relationships, and female-female relationships.

      There are also children's books for kids as young as 4 that explain homosexuality in easy-to-understand terms.

      It's a real tragedy, in my opinion, that gays are held to a different standard than heterosexuals are. It's okay for men and women to hold hands--but if two females or two males do that, then it is 'dirty' and 'wrong.'

      I feel it is far worse to raise kids to be homophobic and discriminatory toward other human beings.

      This is a very hot button issue for me. I have lived in San Francisco most of my life and easily, more than half of my friends are gay--including my very best friend. It is on the behalf of all my wonderful friends that I speak out now.
    15. amybyrd21
      So I am a bad intolerant person because I chose not to teach an innocent 4 year old about that kind of thing. There is something for innocents in youth. I feel it is not something I wish my children at that age to learn about. My 13 year old knows all about it has gay friends and all. But she is old enough to know about that kind of thing. My 4 year old is not.
    16. melindaville
      Amy--I'm sorry--I like you, honestly--and I am not trying to insult you. You are welcome to your own beliefs--and no one can change them. I am only telling you *my* opinion.

      You speak about an 'innocent' four year old. Amy, I'm not talking about people having sex on the street in front of your child. I am talking about two people who love each other, who have every right to show their affection for one another the way any heterosexual couople is able to do without being judged.

      What's so wrong about love and affection? How would explaining to a child that sometimes men love each other and sometimes women love each other take away a child's innocence? It's the way life is, after all!

      Just so you know, we have no problem with this discussion. the comments I removed were because of foul language and personal attacks. Please express your opinions without resulting to name calling or swearing; it makes you look worse than the person you're trying to insult.

      actually it is better to explain homosexuality the younger someone is.that way they have more of a chance to grow up with an open mind, and there's less chance of raising a homophobe.

      there's no reason to mention sex to a 4 year old at all. you can explain a loving relationship without mentioning sex at all.
    19. Anok
      Amy I have a four year old with a gay uncle who is married to his husband - giving Punky two uncles in one house.

      Never had a problem explaining "that one" because it has never ever been an issue. Punky doesn't even question it. Then again, I never made any kind of big deal about it.
  31. celticmusicfan
    I get your point amy. any form of violence, or any sexual manner would be dangerous without parental guidance. i know you are open minded. you just want to protect your kids. nothing wrong with being a good mom.nothing wrong noting that either.
  32. yummysuds
    it's the bell-shaped-curve. You have either extremes and shades of grey with almost everything, why wouldn't it apply to sexuality too? It makes sense.
  33. gaywanderer
    People seem to pick a team and support it pretty loyally from then on ('Bi' is a team too!). In my experience, there seem to be a lot more gay than bi people, although I have no idea if that's right in general.

    But I guess what you're asking is, are people like you who get tempted to explore other sexualities actually not what they think they are? (Correct me if I'm wrong about that interpretation!) That's harder. My opinion is we'll never really know, because we all like to feel we're in control of our sexuality, so we tend to pass off any blips on our gay/straightdar as specks of dust.

    If you're curious about my own inclinations, I feel... something about some women, but its slight compared to what I feel for guys. So I don't quite 'believe' it for myself

    Everybody male in this forum should watch the movie 'the Crying Game' and see if you are attracted to the Dil character. Then you will have your answer! LOL.
    1. Epicharis
      I love that film!
    2. trailofpen
      Or better yet, you can watch "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" and get the same effect.
  35. lnclark1950
    I believe it is a natural thing for men to be attracted to other men but it becomes unnatural when it becomes sexual. If you look in the pages of the Bible you find lots of men who were attracted to other men but not in a sexual way. David and Jonathan, Jesus and His disciples are just some examples of being strongly attracted to someone without it becoming sexual.
    1. Rainhat
      I always find "unnatural" a rather strange term in discussions like this. It occurs spontaneously in nature in both humans and animals, so how is it not natural?

      I also don't get why religious people (at least in my experience) tend to have more of a problem with homosexuality. On one hand, God created man in His image, but on the other hand, some of the men God created in His image are [insert derogatory word here]. So either God created homosexuals, but it's "wrong" anyway, or God did not create all men? Unless one believes that being gay is a choice?
      *ducks for cover*
      This might be a topic for a different discussion, though.

      Seriously, I've never understood what the big deal is. IMO loving anyone of any gender is better than bashing someone for being different than you.
      (by "you" I don't mean you InClark, but "you" as in people in general.)
    2. LolitaV
      Rain, don't duck for cover. I think you are 100% right!
    3. Rainhat
      Thanks, Lolita!

      Funny, I was kind of expecting more of a reaction to my comment. In other forums where similar issues have come up, it usually ends in a mess with people throwing stuff at each other. Maybe BC is more mature? Good deal.

    the Crying Game is great..one of the best one
    1. Sam1982
      Sam8538? you must be the later model?

      lolZ no worries, she doesn't have the guns. i like your model better

    I never got sexually attracted to a guy, I mean they just don't have the things i like.
  38. TonyC
    If we all took our egos off, and be honest with our selves, Its my opinion that all us had been attracted to the same sex at one time or another. We may want to put our fingers down our throat and go hug! That don't mean we have to act. Thats when personal values come in.Every human has some of the traits of the both sexes as part of who they are. I know personally I have been attracted to the a couple if males in my time, when I was younger.I never acted on those feelings but instead I went into denial and would not let myself deal with it at that time, but I remember still today.
    This is what make blogging so great! You can just put it out there and not worry about consequences
    1. LolitaV
      Tonyc i couldn't agree more. it's all about ego and that holier than thou feeling most have.
  39. theshutterbugeye
    No shame. You can have attraction to different levels to both. Also, you may only act on thoughts with one but have thoughts about both. It's totally normal to fantasize about the other. I thinks it's a range. Not black or white.

    :-)
  40. NatetheGrate
    Never mind. I thought you were selling. LOL!
    1. LolitaV
      if i was, you could NEVER afford it.
  41. Jeunelle
    This thread is hilarious.....now I know way too much about you all but I can't relate
    because I only have sex with green lizard men wearing gladiator outfits.

    In fact here's one of my latest conquest....

    [DO you believe people can be attracted to both genders]
    Yes.

    [or is it straight and narrow like you are either straight or gay.]
    I believe the term for this is bisexual erasure.

    [Because sometimes, I have a hard time not thinking naughty thoughts around hot women (like my costumer who just left) and no, I am not Bi or gay!]
    It happens.

    "Do you believe people can be attracted to both genders..."
    Spiritually, without a doubt!
    1. LolitaV
      i meant sexually...
    2. voodooKobra
      Yeah, it was in the title and everything. o_รด
    3. harveyavatar
      Only good attracts.
    4. voodooKobra
      You're being ambiguous and cryptic.
  44. harveyavatar
    You need to understand a bit of first philosophy.
    1. voodooKobra
      1. This is not a philosophical discussion.
      2. Being "philosophical" is no excuse for piss-poor communication.

      "You need to understand a bit of first philosophy."

      How arrogant and presumptuous.
