Bisexual/heteroromantic. Have tried explaining that to a few people and it never seems to click.

Yeah, it's difficult. People seem to struggle with the concept of sexuality and romance being separate because we typically link those things together.

Hopefully though, as more people learn about the intricacies of intimacy, relationships, sexuality and identity, that these issues will become a thing of the past. After all, a lot of what we're overcoming as a society is the fact that these things are so new and "exotic" to a majority of people. You could look at it like most people are just being woken up from the "matrix" and seeing that people's preferences and lifestyles are more than "penis go in vagina".

I'm hetero but I think if I was a guy I would be bisexual o^o/ I got another personality that comes out when I feel threatened or
protective and it feels more male to me e3e is that weird? I'm gonna just go now >//~>

Well I don't know much about the particulars of -why- each genderfluid person might change, but a lot of genderfluid people do feel like things fluctuate for them, "... changes with time, circumstances and/or situations." - From that second link I posted.

I mean, I don't know if you're genderfluid or not, it's not my place to say. But what I can say is that you're not alone and it's okay to feel the way you do! Thanks for contributing to the conversation!

Painfully demisexual here. Only can get intimate with people who I really, really care about.

Well fortunately there are people who feel the same and you're not alone out there!

I don't even know my sexuality I don't get attracted to humans irl

Asexual is your game.

This actually isn't a totally unusual problem and there's a term for it but I haven't found it quite yet!

This is a post that might help you at least see that you're not the only one who feels that way!

How do I say this without sounding like a creap I uhh get atractted to other types of mammals ^\\\^

Wow i gotta admit I'm surprised by how much there is with all of this. I appreciate the enlightenment. Myself personally while i do say I'm gay i think there is still a lot i can learn about me and who and/or what I like. Especially since thats how i came to feeling alright enough to say i'm gay, a lot of watching myself and learning.

Yeah man, it's great to know that sort of stuff, not only for yourself, but for others. So when your friend says "I like men, but I also like masculine women" and they don't know what to call it, you can just link them to that post!

And even for yourself it's good to know because sexuality is fluid. You never know what you might like, and it's also important to recall that just because you have sex or even are attracted to a woman, it doesn't make you not gay, either. There are a fair number of gay men who sleep with women under certain circumstances and vice versa.

I think the idea of labels is nice, but it's not ultimately necessary. I don't typically define myself by one, but it's not important to -me-. For a lot of people though, it -is-, so it's good to know what you are, or at least what fits pretty well. "I'm pretty much gay 99.9% of the time." Is helpful to understand where you stand and also to help your partners understand your preferences, too.

Thats true or if they talk about something and i don't understand it i can just take a quick look over and find out. And i can understand what you mean about it being fluid. I admit i predominately like men but i never stopped watching myself and noting what i find attractive. It still surprises me how I like certain things or how various things turn into something i like. Though i have heard about how gay men have slept with women for various reason i forgot about that so kudos to you for reminding me.

As far as the labels go. if nothing else i like them as ways to point towards how I am. I say gay just so people get the idea i like guys predominately but its ironic that the 99% comment actually hits me. At my peak its about that for being gay haha but other times that 1% gets larger.

Funny, I was thinking about this the other day.

With how things are in today's society, people are far more diverse and accepting of others and their sexual preferences.
Especially with the fact the internet has opened up a much larger gateway to meeting people.
It baffles me how in these times, parents say to, "hurry up and find someone," when there's WAY more of a choice for us than it was for them.
They do not have the luxury of the internet like the young adults of today.
There is also the fact that there are many more accepting communities and people who are opening up to how they truly feel.
Granted, this creates a more difficult path at times in finding that one (or few) that you want to spend your life with, or however you want to go about it.

My advice to those who are looking, slow down. You have a huge selection of fish to pick from in this sea.
The internet has widened your options, and there is no rush to get someone while in high school, college, etc.
You will find them, and most of the time, they were always there. It takes time for these things to come together. Don't force it.

And thanks for bringing this up, TheBraveLittle, was nice to finally get these ideas and thoughts out of my head for open discussion.

Well like I mention in the next comment, I grew up with a very atypical parent in the fact that she probably told me more often than not to -not- settle down early, that I didn't need a kid and a wife (or husband, she was very open-minded) to be happy. And that's something a lot of people don't grow up with. So you're right, there is a lot of pressure to find a mate and to sink into a specific label and figure out your love life and your genitals and whatnot ASAP.

You're very welcome. I think these are conversations people should have a lot more. And I appreciate your input!

I used to think about this stuff. Then I realized I'd be alone all my life, so I don't bother thinking about it anymore.

Hey man, no one can predict the future! If you don't want to be with someone that's perfectly fine, too. I actually was fortunate in the fact that I grew up with a mom that told me that I didn't -have- to marry or have kids to be happy and she stressed that. It's okay if you don't want a partner, and if you do, I'm sure there's someone who's a fit for you. Some searches are harder than others, but with 6+ billion people in the world and with 1.5 of them speaking english (375 million native), it's statistically very very improbable that there's -no- one out there for you. (:

I've tried. To date the only people to have hit on me have been other guys, and I fucking hate it. No woman would ever want to be with me, and hollow "there's someone out there" platitudes have never helped.

Thank you so much for posting this :D its always nice to have links to help people who are either trying to figure their own sexuality out it just help people understand in general.
I'm pansexual demiromantic and like you I grew up in a home where my parents just stressed on how important it was for me to be me, they never expected me to get married and start popping out babahs XF instead they encouraged me to experiment nd figure out what made me happy. They welcomed any and all ofmy partners into their home equally and its something most people aren't able to experience.

I don't see attack helicopter listed >:c

This is somewhat helpful for me. I honestly have struggled with what I could be considered with when I was young, and no adays, occasionally I find myself hard to explain my feelings and interests.
The easiest way for me to state things is to tell people I'm bi-sexual, but that doesn't always feel right or applies.
You offered two links that really help and clarify things for me. I'm sure others could also benefit from this knowledge.
