So just how straight are you?

[Rachmaninoff]

I?m sure you all have been asked this before, what your sexual orientation is. Whether its heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual. But what got me thinking about it is first some conversations I?ve had recently and second those conversations reminding me of some very awkward social situations that came up when dealing with people who were previously unaware of what was going on in my life.

Nothing to mind shattering I assure you, but my parents, being devote LDS/Mormons were less than thrilled when they learned about my first relationship I had that became intimate. Now that was a long time ago and though they don?t agree, they?ve long since gotten over it. Or rather they?ve decided to not make an issue out of that sort of thing anymore.

Now as for situations as far as sexual orientation goes? That?s been more interesting since I am straight and have absolutely no interest in guys at all. But I have had roommates in the past who were gay and though most of the time it wasn?t a problem, I have had one who drove me up the wall since he couldn?t take no for an answer. I finally had to request being moved to another apartment to get the management to do something about it.

Anyway, where do you stand and have you every had to deal with awkward social situations as a result of either your sexuality or that of one of your friends?

[Guest StolenCrusade]

:confused:Well, social situations are no my best subject. I have always grown up to be a very coservative christian. Yet, I am gay. And when I told my parents, they flipped out of thier skin. My dad really didn't know what to do, and my mother gave me a giant speech that I will end up (down there) if I don't change.

But I live the way I do, I have had no expiriences whatsoever, but as far as the tone of voice and actions that I do, they aren't the most masculine. So half the time I call myself gay by actions that I do, the other times I just say that I'm a little confused.

And then there are people's impression of me...They pretty much think I'm a huge flamer. But my true friends are the real ones that understand my whole story. But half of the time, I think Kids at school act as if I'm the subject of a giant witchhunt.
I guess its the life you pay for taking that path in life. But Oh Well...

About four months ago, maybe more, I would have said I was bisexual. But I dislike being inbetween. See the deal was, if I liked a boy, they were INCREDIBLY feminine. And I mean it - in fact my ex dresses like a woman on night outs. Even though I went out with the boys I found 'attractive', I always broke up with them because it just didn't feel comfortable. However, I always kept girls on the same level as boys, whatever I'd do with a man I'd be willing to do with them (not in all cases I guess). That was just causual for me.

I remember when I first met a close friend of mine, who happens to be a lesbian, she would always joke about me being gay and she would bring up a load of points. And in turn, a lot of her friends and mindewould joke about me being gay. I don't even know where it came from at all - there was just this ongoing joke about it. Some of 'em were serious though, haha.

But my friend made the best sense ever somewhere around July when I broke up from school. She said no matter what sexuality or gender, you can always find and admit that someone is good looking. You can admit and see someone is incredibly good looking without fancying them, and it's pretty much true now methinks. I only found feminine boys good looking, in sense, but it never worked because something always creeped me out.

Safe to say after a lot of encouragement from my friends and this one lovely individual, I'm one of those annoying gay people who makes a point of saying so =D

But then there's the whole 'phase' thing, which pisses me off. Even if it is I phase, I'd still be incredibly gay >_<;; for god's sake, I went out with a crossdresser!

From experience, girls are better anyway XP

Five days a week is an awkward social situation for me, because my science teacher is very young, very good looking, very gay, and very very very nice to me ^_^;;. An even worse one when was I woke up at my friends with a guy with his arms around me. We didn't do anything, he just thought I was straight and it was at a point when I wasn't sure so it was so hard to explain XD[/SIZE]

[spy46]

I'm 100% all for the girls.

As i look at ... well every thing in the world i think that some people are just creeped out about the idea because to THEM it wasn't meant to be type thing.

Or in other cases because their bible didn't say it was OK .... or mention it at all.

How do i feel about this? hey if you like it and your safe with it, enjoy, just don't try and get me to join in on it.

Unless it was me with 2 girls at the same time:animeswea

It doesn't mater to me and it shouldn't matter to any one what another persons sexual standard is, be it with the same sex or ..... i wont get into the other areas.

And for the people that say you go to hell for being that way, I say so long as you are a good person and so on, that is all that matters.

So do what your going to do and just don't tell me about it.:p

[Aaryanna_Mom]

That's easy to answer, completely straight. I know that for some when growing up it's a question or a concern and they wonder just what they are, but honestly. I never had any doubts. I always knew. It's hard to explain and I've no interest in attempting to do so. I was also a boring kid in that I never had any really awkward moments with my parents or anyone else for that matter. I probably did have friends who were not straight, but when I was growing up, it just wasn't discussed. And since most of us have long since either moved on or gotten married and moved elsewhere, I've no idea what most of my childhood friends are up to.

Now if we're going to talk about awkward conversations... There's just no getting around that realizing your kid knows all about it already is a bit startling. But then it's just too easy to remember when they were just tiny little things who couldn't even crawl or walk yet. lol

[Gavin]

[SIZE="1"]I think this might actually be the first time this kind of thread has popped up, which is something of an achievement for the Lounge.

For me this is a perfectly straight-forward question... no pun intended, as I'm completely heterosexual. I think I'm passed the age where it could be considered the dreaded "phase", and honestly I've never even looked at another guy with any kind of interest, though I suppose that's because as a teenager I was too busy looking at girls. :animeswea God bless co-ed schools.[/SIZE]

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Well I kissed a girl once on a dare in Wal*Mart. But other than that I'm quite straight.I'm honestly not at all sure how to reply to this thread other than that. I've never had any other homosexual tendancies (unless you quote mental health books from the 1950's then of course I have lesbian tendancies because I enjoy reading)

Yeah that's it from me. Great come back eh?[/color][/font]

[Raiha]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]I'm about 50% straight since I like the vagina about as much as the penis.

On the Kinsey Sexual Orientation Scale, where 1 is totally straight and 5 is completely gay, I'm about a 3.

I was lucky enough to have friends that were accepting and open to ideas that weren't necessarily instilled in them from birth. Then again, everyone here should know by now how honest I am, so most of my female friends know that I like the girlsies. None of them were seriously worried or disturbed by the news. Well, one of my old room mates freaked out and got me in 'trouble' with the housing office for 'sexual harassment' but yeah. She was a nutterbutter. And they moved me in with a new girl that got plastered every night and smoked weed during the day.

She was the most relaxed person I ever met...[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Andrew]

[Size=1]I really never expected that Vic and D would have Lesbian tendencies. Really shows we don't talk enough.

Anyways, I'm totally up for the women. For me, a life without getting my hands on juicy, delicious breasts (Vital that they ain't moobs or chicken) would be a life not worth living. If we're going by D's 'straight-o-meter' I'm straight up numero uno.

Not much else to add here really.[/size]

[The13thMan]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Century Gothic]I most certainly am a heterosexual. But i'm in no way a manly man.

I don't have a problem acknowledging that i think another man is attractive, outloud or to myself. The reason i know that it's just an appreciation and not an attraction is because i could never see myself doing anything even remotely sexual with any man ever. That grosses me out. I only like one cock, and that's my own. Feel free to quote me on that one.

I've never really been in any awkward situations because of sexual orientation. If someone calls me gay i kinda just reply unexpectedly with a nod and a sexual advance. Then the guy freaks and i laugh. It's all in good fun. Of course, when the serious question arises of my sexual orientation i always give a straight answer... pun intended.

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Truthiness.

I have basically the same opinion you do. It isn't awkward for me to say that another guy looks handsome, but in no way is that ever meant in a sexual way.

I think people who are "confused" about their sexuality think too much. They don't really do any soul searching; they kinda just go along with what others think/say. Its always the best when someone can admit it and not hesitate. They get some respect in my book.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR="Indigo"]I am completely straight, much to the disappointment of many of my guy friends who think two women doing each other is hot. I don't have to name anyone, since the few I know here who think this as well know who they are. :p Seriously though, other than to notice that a girl is pretty there isn't anything else to it. lol Where if a guy is pretty good looking, that can and does lead to other thoughts as well as actions if we get along well enough. I most definitely like the guys. [/COLOR]

[eleanor]

[font="trebuchet ms"] I'm straight, but I have lesbian moments. When I see a gorgeous model or actress, or person in general, and I can't help but admire. I'm inclined to think that I do this because I draw and therefore appreciate aesthetics more closely, which I think is a valid reason. The woman's body is just more interesting and dynamic and 'beautiful' than a guy's, so that could be another reason. Even when I draw I have more fun drawing women. :p

But yeah, guys are definitely what really turns me on. [/font]

[Aaryanna]

[COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I have still yet to enter that boys are even remotely cute stage. XP And sure girls look nice, but it's nothing beyond thinking someone is pretty. Now some guys, usually older ones, are cute. :catgirl: So based on that I'm assuming that I am straight since I just don't see girls in that light at all. Though I'll be happy once I get out of High School since I hate being surround by boys. They're so annoying! lol[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Roxie Faye]

[color=#9933ff]Straight. (Catholic.) Surrounded by gay friends. Member of the Gay Straight Alliance at my school. =) (We just went bowling last night!! Totally awesome.)

It was weird. I wanted to join the gay straight alliance, just out of nowhere, but I thought that would seem super weird, so I was really glad when I saw my friends signing up, that way I had a good reason to join. lol.

I also don't have gaydar (???), but every time I find a guy attractive, he turns out to be gay. So now I just use it in the reverse. "I really like him!! Oh wait, that means he's gay. Damn."[/color]

[Claire]

[FONT="Arial"]I actually consider myself asexual, as I've never actually desired that kind of intimacy with anyone (male or female). Of course, I find people attractive all the time, usually more boys than girls, but as Vicky said that definitely doesn't mean I want to be in a relationship with them. I'm crushing on two people right now, which, disregarding the fact that they're both famous singers and I'll never have a chance with them anyway, is as far as I think I can go.

Most of the guys I do find attractive are either gay or incredibly girly, though.

It's just a lot more fun to be in love with someone without having to put a title on it or being expected to share physical affection. For me, there's no point in it.

There have been times I thought I might have been at least bisexual, but what I just mentioned pretty much makes that idea impossible. I just really really love some people, and I can't imagine a future without them. [/FONT]

[John]

I'm straight and abstinent, with the only possible exception to either being if '70s-era David Bowie time-traveled to present times and paid a visit to my bedroom. But I think that's a given, isn't it?

[Sangome]

[size=1]About two years ago, I'd be calling myself asexual [not attracted to either gender for you unbeknownst kiddies]. Though due to some circumstances, I can say I'm heterosexual.

...Though, I will be honest with you...the conversations I have with my friends sometimes makes me question my orientation. Honestly, though, I think that's pretty commonplace for females nowadays. That, and I'm unusually clingy to my female friends.

Though also a couple years ago, I was accused of being bisexual, or even lesbian. Now I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I have nothing against them. But it was because I never had a boyfriend, had no interest in boys, and the fact that all my true friends are female didn't help, either. [When I say true, I mean ones that I visit, can talk about personal stuff with, etc. I do have a couple male aquaintences, but that's about it.][/size]

[Aberinkula]

[COLOR="77656"][QUOTE]Mr Rach makes the coolest threads XD[/QUOTE]
I second that motion. His threads are just too attractive, and plain old shmexy. I'm going gay for your threads Rach!

As for me, I'm straight. However, I was bi-curious, and that led to trouble. People still insist on calling mem gay, when I'm not. I've kissed a girl, and I've enjoyed it. (Happened this saturday... my first kiss wth a girl!) But people at my school are retarded and are too ignorant to see the truth.

I've found girls to be more open, and experiment more than men. I know someone who experimented with a nother guy, but I'm stopping right there. He doesn't think it's wrong anyways. Let's just say he was in denial for a few minutes, he's straight. He taught me that some interactions witha guy aren't considred gay, or something like that. He thinks blowjobs and handjobs don't make you gay exactely, but he got that from the 40 year old Virgin >_>.[/COLOR]

[SunfallE]

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]Very, very straight. I have always dated guys since that's mainly what I'm attracted to. XP The only problem I run into every now and then is that what attracts me to someone is personality traits so I have run into girls who were just as attractive as guys. Not that often, but it has happened. But since that's more rare and I don't get the more instant physical attraction like I do with a guy, I would have to think that means I'm straight. I thought at one time that I was perhaps bisexual, but I kind of don't really believe that anymore.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Shy]

[size=1]Totally super duper straight. <3

-Shy[/size]

[2010DigitalBoy]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]I have never found another man attractive. Men are ugly, generally. Especially naked men. And the penis is just plain [i]creepy looking[/i]. The way it sticks out from the rest of the body feels like it just doesn't belong there. I joke with friends about gay **** a lot - a lot of my friends would bet an arm and a leg on my homosexuality. But I am far from gay. Would I have sex with a guy if you paid me? Hell yeah. Money is money. Could I fall in love with a guy and have sex with him? Probably. I might have to go look at some porn to get ready for it, but love is love.

Of course, I could never love a guy that way. I just find them too ugly.

Do I find women sexually attractive? Yes. In fact, i find some women attractive who aren't even really attractive at all, but I find some way to make them seen attractive. There are definitely a lot of preferences I have toward women. I am a very picky person. But it goes without saying that I am (fairly easily) aroused by women.

So yeah. I'd say I'm completely not gay.
