Hi. Just wanted to show ya'll some love and respect!



Here's to happy, healthy sex lives! (and/or a nice afternoon alone!)

[Raynaadi]

Soooo, I can talk about whatever I want pertaining to Sexuality? Ok....my sexual preference is - a lot with my boyfriend - but I don't really get a lot. LOL!!!!

[bebop]

hahahaha now that is a good one!!

[Raynaadi]

Is this kinda like the off topic thread in General, only we're discussing anything and everything about sexuality? I like it, great thread!

My sexual preference is men, but I've had crushes on women. There was a woman in college who looked like a combination of Jewel and the chic from Chasing Amy and many other Kevin Smith movies. She was beautiful! She was in my english class and we became fast friends. She was a lesbian and I opened up about my bi-curiousness. She said she found me attractive, but didn't want to do anything since I was still in the curious mode, she didn't want to hurt me. I still respect her to this day for that, though I would have liked a make-out session with her lol.

I still find women attractive. Sometimes they just take such good care of themselves and look amazing that its hard not to look lol. There's a woman in some of my meetings, (I'm gonna change her name and call her Mary). Anyway, there are several "Mary's" and so when we refer to her, we call her "Hot Mary". She's just so gorgeous, its hard not to notice even though I consider myself straight.

In the movie Chasing Amy, the female charactor is gay and the male charactor has a crush on her. They end up falling in love and she says this thing that I love. She says something like "I have no control over who I fall in love with. I fall in love with the person, and who would have thought that person would be in a male body". I've always considered this to be how I look at possible partners. It just so happens that I've fallen in love with a man, but I can't honestly say that if I had fallen in love with a woman, that I wouldn't have gone for it just because for the most part, I'm straight. I don't label it...its just love.

Anyone who doesn't have a narrow mind has my support, regardless of their gender or sexual identity or preference.

I'd love to live in a world where people felt free to pursue relationships with whomever they are attracted to. What is important in a partner? Whether he or she is kind and considerate, and if there is an emotional connection and physical chemistry. That's what's important to me.

Good.

Here is a reply to those who hijacked my thread.

Why are you debating at all? Did I not state a few times now, that this isn't about anyone who already knows what they prefer, but for those young people who I addressed, (two in particular?)

You're wrong, anyway. Why would you think I had never "thought" of "those" situations? Why would I assume that if you kissed a man that it was your spouse, in the first place? Could it not be your brother, or a good friend? In scouting we hug and kiss goodbye and hello alot. Don't girl friends also hold hands without being homosexual? Don't people from other countries also have different displays without being homosexual? Who's stereotyping, I wonder? I don't assume simply because of simple outward actions. I certainly don't judge the heart, either. (God does that.)

What you judged me for might fall under projection. IDK

My response about public declaration of sexual preference is when people stand on a street corner with signs demanding attention just because of what kind of sex they engage in. To that I say, NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW! Why declare I need to know this, and then bash me because (someone) insists I'm bashing them because I know. If people don't share, then they can't exclaim they are being denied rights or being discriminated against because they shared something that really needed to be kept quiet in the first place? Why do those who are in the minority always seem to have to hijack another's threads? What makes such people always appear to be on the defensive? If people are comfortable with who they are, what's the idea behind their actions? Maybe just rhetorical questions. I really don't plan on replying to any replies. Contrary to what others say about debating, and they continue to debate. I really don't want to.
Not just my POV.

My thread WAS created to give support to those who fear YES FEAR being homosexual. That was stated rather clearly (I thought) and again, I reiterate, it wasn't to bash anyone. But on another thought, that my thread was hijacked and I was argued against because I somehow forgot to promote homosexuality.... does that mean that only those threads supporting homosexuality, or both or all are allowed, and a thread supporting heterosexuality isn't allowed here?

Sky - I started a new thread because you said that yours was "hijacked". I didn't intend for you to feel attacked - just wanted people with differing opinions to feel supported.

New thread, new feelings. This thread is just to allow people to post about their positive feelings regarding any adult sexual feelings they are wanting to express. IMO sexuality is a GOOD thing - something to celebrate.

Take care, Campy

P.S. Please keep your thread separate from mine.

If gay people express themselves in public, it seems to annoy you. But if your friends, who are married and straight hug and kiss in public....this isn't even noticed. Right? Because straight is OK, and gay is not.

We have differing opinions...so how about we agree to disagree? You post your thoughts on your thread, and since your don't like disagrement on your thread.....plz show me the same respect. I will keep my left wing radical crazy self off your thread, and you please consider doing something similar with this one. I began this thread as a place for other opinions to blossom. Please don't try to squash us.

Take care. Campy

Love and kisses to all forms of adult affection!!!

(make love not war!!!)

[Danialla]

Hey Sky.......how about we make a deal........

I will not think badly of all christians because a few stand on corners during military funerals (off all places) holding signs that say "God hates fags" "War is God's punishment because America has fags" etc.

If you will not think badly of all gay people because a few stand on corners holding signs that say they are gay and would like equal rights under the law.

Further, there really is no reason to get so defensive. I was merely trying to point out some situations that heterosexuals tend to take for granted and the same situations done by gay (or percieved to be gay ) people can be met with disgust, and worse, by people who believe they are just trying to "exclaim" their sexual preference.

Remember...this is a happy, positive thread! K?

Hugs and kisses to all who love and support all forms of sexuality! Sex can be a wonderous, positive part of a loving relationship! And it's a lovely meditation on self love.

Keep those happy vibes flowing!!!

Campy

[Danialla]

Sorry Campy

I LOVE razzing.

Happy campy

This is just a quick reply:

I'm not seeing where a debate was meant to have been started on this subject. The original topic is to discuss sexual preference, not to debate and certainly not bring in personal views on others' preference, and most definitely not a thread where anyone's religion will be discussed.

This is not the "other thread".

[Raynaadi]

I just reread my post and it sounded harsh to me, so I wanted to add that topics in this forum are usually very sensitive ones, so in keeping with supportive posts only, please refrain from speaking against others' beliefs and preferences. It may be necessary to walk away if this is not a possibility.

Thanks,
Rayna

this thread likely wouldn't have even been initiated if not for the alienating nature of the "other thread."

Live and let live that's what I say, we are all equal, all beautiful, no one has the right to say otherwise.

if there is love between 2 people whatever their gender, good for them. Long live love......

My apologies campy, I really thought this thread was for everyone to give opinions etc. I wasn't trying to quash your thread nor it's topic. I didn't wish to begin another whole new thread, as that would really appear to be only for debate. I am tired of others who are mind readers I guess, telling others what I supposedly think.

Daniella, those people who stand on the street corner with hate signs indeed IMO have their own problems with hate.

But I'm back to the issue for me here: is this forum only for non-heterosexual support, or not? (Rhetorical?)

TC, truly.

I guess the idea was just to be a place for open minded foks who are accepting of all people, regardless of how they express their sexuality.

[(JD)]

That's cool. Wonder why my thread of support was crashed then.

I think as the stigma attached to being gay is finally at an end the efforts of many now look promotional. To then make a balance heterosexual promotion seems like another put down on the sexual feelings of some, in the same way as its ok to say black is beautiful but not white is beautiful............

Maybe its time to stop promoting and just enjoy whatever it is we enjoy.

when did that occur? In more than 1/2 of US states it is completely legal to discriminate on the job based on sexual orientation.

I think we need to promote *acceptance* and positive regard for all.

I've not witnessed anyone advertising to recruit homosexuals.....although the ads sure would be entertaining! :-)
