what is everyone's sexuality here?

I am the only straight person on the Fediverse, AMA.

as the only straight person on the fediverse, I just found out that you are me. we are one.
neat.
- Damn, we should start a club.
  I'm a straight guy that is happy when others are happy.

This made me laugh more than it should have

I'm like a Kinsey 1.5. Just bi enough to be uncomfortable with the "straight" label but too hetero to feel comfortable claiming "bi." It's great 🙃

Not being sure about being bi is sooo bi culture. Embrace the bi my bi friend <3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

passes the garlic bread

Straight cis guy here. Doing my best to live as an ally in the ways that I can. Happy to be here with all of you!

Straight ally. Happy pride month!

I like to have sex with people I'm attracted to. Sometimes other people, too.

I'm pan/bi/omni. I think people are hot.

People hot, I agree
Yeah as long as the other person is human, close to me in age, and consenting

Transbian here!

transbian gang B)

I'm part of the Anxious Bisexual Nerd Team!

Ace! I think people are hot, but I don't want to do the nasty with any of them.

Can't we make a poll instead?

Is it possible to make a poll on Lemmy?
- No, it's not. The best thing you can do at the moment is to provide options and ask people to upvote them.

$20 is $20

/s

I'm gay. Nothing special lol

You are special to someone.

I'm ace. It took me a long-ass time to figure that out, as often happens. I thought I was bi for a while because 0 = 0 lol.

Edit: also not aro, and nonbinary (agender, mostly), since people are specifying this as well.

I'm ace-spec non-aro and nonbinary as well! Gray ace and polyamorous, though I used to feel more identified with demisexuality.

Used to be like that a few days ago, now I prefer women? Wow being bi is weird
- I remember not relating to the bi-cycle concept at all when I first came to terms with my bisexuality. But recently, I've noticed such a growing attraction to men as to where I barely notice attractive femmes in public.
  Of course I never talk to any of them -_-
Bi with a significant preference for men, but still bi.

Omnisexual, tho I usually call myself "Bi" when talking to others about it, as few people know about omnisexuality

What is the difference between omni and bi?
- Omnisexuality is defined as an attraction to persons of any gender identity (incl non-binary), but gender does still matter for an omnisexual (so in my case for example, I'm attracted to everyone, but more strongly towards men and less towards non-men). Bisexuals are attracted to men and women, but could also be attracted to non-binary people (but not necessarily I think).
  So I'd say there's very little difference between them, if any. It's more of a vibe-based thing, whatever label you like the most.

Straight male though I'd like to think I'm pansexual. I honestly don't see why anyone could not be compatible with someone just because of biological gender in an ideal world. People are pretty awesome.

Bi cis woman, but I ended up marrying my hs sweetheart so only really been in het relationships. No regrets, he's my favorite human!

Some people forget that even if you're in a heterosexual or gay relationship, you can still be bi. Family members who I've told I'm bi suddenly started to think I'm gay, just because I was in a gay relationship.
- I don't even fool with it 99.9% of the time. My fave comment is when someone says "You're just fence riding. You'll either settle down with a man or woman." Like dang, you're telling me the vast majority of people are monogamous and settle down with someone with a gender? And that's not getting into if someone is in a relationship with someone who identitifies as enby. Smh.

Another bi guy here :)

I don't have a clue

No hurry, friend. It took me years.
- I think more accurately, I know what it is, but I haven't worked out what it means for me

Just another gay fella joining the fediverse.

Actually not sure ay. I've been intimate with a big variety of people, but I still feel odd trying to label it. I definately lean closer to straight than anything else, but i dunno

I'm hetero-romantic asexual

Edit: whoops, i made an empty comment on accident. I guess I'm getting old.

Asexual, with no other qualifiers i.e. not demi or aego etc. I figured this all out when I was like 11 and, after over a decade, still hasn't changed

Bi guy. Though I've never been with a guy, only women.

How u doin'? Oo

Opposite here, I'm bi but only ever been with a guy. I'm still with him, just worried about him

im pan

Just boring old gay guy here. A dude who likes dudes.

Pan as hell no matter what my imposter syndrome tells me!

I'm abrosexual. That means my sexuality changes over time, a bit like being genderfluid.

My flag:

Straight trans woman, my boyfriend is super loving <3

Bi. The bi-cycle fucks with me a lot though.

Bisexual.

Bi.

I’m a gay dude. \o/

I'm bi-ace <3

Optionally pronounced like an Italian word.

Hello fellow bi person

Lesbian here :3

Nunya.

Super duper pansexual.

Although I can see the uses in making up terms to define who you're attracted to, I dont like the idea of putting yourself in a box. Ive had straight friends get really confused when they find themselves attracted to the same sex, and gay friends get really confused when they find themselves attracted to the opposite sex. When you "join" a sexuality you dont sign a contract or anything. A while ago I figured out I was bisexual. It was pretty great for a while, cause I was able to figure myself out and feel more free because of it. I didnt feel guilty for having certain thoughts. However, eventually I started to have some problems with the label itself. In this day and age, what even is a man or a woman? Ive found myself being attracted to people that dont identify as either gender. And isnt gender supposed to be a societal construct? In that case, why do we care so much about it in the case of define sexual identities? Im no philosopher or social scientist, so I may just be talking out of my own ass here so forgive my ignorance. Nowadays whenever some asks me my sexuality (which by the way is a very weird thing to ask people you just met in real life) I always say "on a case by case basis".

Normally straight-ish, but currently I would say indifferent due to the meds I'm on.

Bi, but only been in het relationships. Dudes I know just are all assholes.

I'm a Lesbian myself

Me too! ❤️

Gay trans man here!

Ace and nonaro (don't really label it any further personally)

Lesbian

Basic gay guy here.

@themadcodger @Bicyclejohn there are loads of us
- Hey, and a fellow Oregonian!

Also a bi guy! Hi :)

Transenby

A gay dude ✨

Panromantic ace, checking in. Welcome!

Pan/Bi but strait passing... Mostly.

Honest question: Why do you feel the need to categorize your sexuality? I myself am 40 years old and still don't know which category I fit in. What need/itch do you fill by naming this part of your persona?

Complicated, but not.

Complicated because I have a strained relationship with sexuality after several years in a cult.

Not complicated because I'm married (17 years) and primarily identify as a lesbian. Probably "lesbian-attracted asexual" may be a better description?

Gender-wise, transfem demigirl (she/any).

Polyamorous biromantic demisexual

to answer the age old question, "da fuck is that?"

I'm into being in relationships with multiple people of multiple genders and I've got to really get to know someone before any sexual attraction starts.

Most of the time when people ask I just answer with Bi as the people asking are usually not interested in the nitty gritty details.

Demi cis. I'm tempted to add "doomed", but I won't.

pan!

bi :)

I think the concept of sexuality needs to go away, tbh. I'm not straight because I am attracted to EVERY guy. And I'm not a lesbian because I am attracted to every woman. So what am I saying when I say that I am straight or gay?

The info I am giving then is who I am NOT attracted to. If I say I'm straight, I'm just saying 'I'm not attracted to women'. I'm not saying 'I'm attracted to every man.'

So I think the concept of sexuality is pretty stupid and everyone should just like whoever they like. It creates a lot of confusion otherwise, with straight and gay people worrying about whether they're 'doing sexuality right'. It's nonsense. Bin it.

I'm confused as to where you got the idea that having a sexuality means you're attracted to every single person of a certain sex. It just means that you can be attracted to people of that sex. I'm bisexual but I have standards, I'm not attracted to every person on earth. Sexuality categorization is useful to quickly contextualize discussions about sex and relationships in this world where heterosexual is assumed to be the default unless explicitly specified otherwise. Doing away with sexuality would only add confusion and wasted time. For example: looking for advice in gay dating but receiving advice about straight dating (that doesn't apply to gay dating because the cultures and dynamics are very different) when there's no terminology to tell them apart.

Demisexual

I don't know but I have been thinking I'm hetero :D

I'm trans btw
