Post: Sexuality

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Important note: This is a very touchy subject to some people and rightfully so. Whilst negative comments about any given sexuality are OK, pointless and unnecessary bashing of other people's sexuality will not be tolerated. Once you cross this line your post(s) will be deleted and you will be warned, and if you persist you will be punished for flaming. I know this is a very strongly worded warning, however I feel given the thread topic it's utterly necessary.


Anyway, onto the debate itself- sexuality. There are many different labels of sexuality, so I'd thought I'd list them below(largely C/P to save time, if I missed any or falsely described anything let me know):

  • Heterosexuality- Is the sexual attraction between members of the opposite sexes such as a man attracted to a woman and vice-versa.
  • Homosexuality- is the sexual attraction between members of the same sexes such as man to man and woman to woman.
  • Bisexuality- Is the sexual attraction to both the opposite and same sexes such as man to man and man to woman, woman to woman and woman to man.
  • Asexuality- Is also known as nonsexuality which is the lack of sexual attraction and sexual interest towards others.
  • Polysexuality- Is the sexual attraction to more than one gender but do not wish to be known as bisexual as it implies that there are only two binary sexes, do not confuse this with pansexuality ('pan' meaning all) and ('poly' meaning many).
  • Pansexuality- Is the sexual attraction towards people regardless of gender also known as omnisexuality. Some pansexuals refer to themselves as gender blind as to them gender is insignificant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
  • Transexualism- Is when a person identifies themselves as a certain sex different from their own biological one. For example a person may be born male, and is uncomfortable with their gender as a male and changes to a female, or vice-versa.

Personally I'm heterosexual, however I have no problems with other people expressing their own sexuality and being who they really are.

Feel free to comment below and be honest, then hopefully this thread can be used to maturely discuss sexuality away from the nonsense you so often see elsewhere Smile

By definition a sexual attraction to something non-human is a fetish, not a sexuality, but I suppose there's an argument for Beastiality being added to the list. As for 'Paedophile', that's the correct spelling in the Oxford English Dictionary, however Miriam-Webster spells it without the 'a', so I guess it's another one of those American spelling butcherings I hate so much like colour spelt without the 'u' or centre with the 'r' and 'e' the wrong way around. Honestly it doesn't really matter (but it won't stop me saying the American spellings are wrong simply because I said so).

Technically, 'Pedophile' would be pronounced "Ped-o-File" with 'Ped' sounding like 'Bed' where as it should be pronounced "Pee-do-file". Also, as it's based of ancient languages (like most words) such as Latin and Greek, technically spelling it 'Pedophile' would actually be using the prefix 'Pedo-' meaning "to walk or take steps" such as 'pedometer', which means, 'Pedophile' actually means the 'brotherly love or sexual attraction of feet or walking', which is why American spelling changes are stupid.

Again, another person makes excuses for barring gay marriage because of stupid religious bullshit, to quote myself in a previous topic:

"Actually, 'marriage' was based of the pagan ritual of 'handfasting' which was to claim to be linked to another in a matter of loving betrothal and was performed for both heterosexual and homosexual couples as well as for non-sexual bonds who wished to celebrate their closeness, such as devoted friends or siblings.

As for the specifics of Marriage itself, it wasn't actually a religious ceremony at first but a legal ceremony. It was created by the royal and noble families of Europe during pre-medieval times as a way of reassuring a man that his children where is own as marriage was a promise of sexual exclusivity and infidelity could be punished as a crime.

Then there's the consideration that many religion have no problem with gay people marrying, Pentecostal churches for example would happily marry gay people if they could, so why should they not be allowed to as if follows the rules of their religion. Surely each church should be allowed to accept couples and turn couples away as they wish, and as such no government intervention is needed or wanted at all. Gay marriage should be legal, if a specific church is anti-gay they can refuse to marry gay people... chances are the gay couple wouldn't be going to an anti-gay church anyway would they.

Marriage is neither a religious ceremony nor is it a relationship. It's a contract between to people which legally defines each other as family and each others next of kin, there is NO reason at all for stopping gay people from engaging in this contract any more than there's a reason from stopping them owning property or signing a business contract. You're either ignorant of the details or marriage or a pathetic homophobe making excuses to exclude gay people, kindly think before posting."


Now, I would like to think you're not actually against gay marriage based on the apparent tone of your post, but this is a stupid claim that I wish people would stop making. If you honestly think your marriage suddenly becomes pointless because a gay couple who you don't know and who have no effect on you at all are given the same social contract options then that is a truly sad comment on your opinion of your relationships and their value and I feel sorry for your future partners.

That's fair enough. As part of an LGB society I met a lot of people who insisted on creating, often inventing, entirely new names for their apparent "sexuality" just so they could be unique. It was as though being an unusual sexuality was some kind of badge of pride they could wear. Really, I see little reason to use the term pansexual when bisexual means exactly the same thing. It can easily be inferred from the word "bisexual" that gender is not an issue for you and there are only two genders and you find them both sexually attractive, to use another term is doing nothing more than needlessly complicating an issue which could honestly do with simplification. With sexuality still vying for rights and equality in many countries, it's easier if we keep things simple, and honestly, even in a personal relationship I see no reason to complicate the issue with bullshit minutia based "sexualities" which are identical in all practical ways. If you want to use the term, fair enough, but in my experience, people who use any term other than bisexual when they mean bisexual are doing it for attention or effect, and often they're the "straight posers" just looking for an excuse to be "alternative" too which is a further annoyance.


I think it's pretty much pointless as well, it's basically just for convenience. If I were to say I was bisexual, I would also have to go on a completely different rant about how I could give two shits less about what sexual reproductive organ(s) you have, I'm going to like you for you.

If people understood bisexuality as the physical OR platonic attraction to multiple sexes, then I'd say it every time. But for simplicity's sake, and even though it probably isn't the best thing to do (because really, who wants to cause a lot of confusion?), it's just easier for me to explain a new term than one that people assume that they know the meaning of.

I'm working on that though. :y: It's more-so an anxiety issue than anything else.

Oh,well "Pedophile" is a slang version,and as for American spellings.They are not butchered words,just simply spelled that way due to the American Revolution.We broke free and made our own spelling system and own government.So the spellings here are correct.

Fair enough...

Also, pet peeve here... It's "COULDN'T give two shits", you said "could give two shits", which in fact means the opposite. The is one of the most common errors I see and one of the ones that really pisses me off, but I'm in a good mood and I like you, so you get this one for free. Next time though, you get beaten with reeds for your crimes against language.

You can say what you like, but as I said before, actually the American spelling is wrong (you missed the second paragraph as I added it in an edit, and you replied before I added the edit) :P

I wish, did my first degree in Chemistry, dropped out due to poor health after my second year. Did a diploma in Computer Science (only a HNC for those wondering, took 8 months to do) a few years later. Recently I went back to uni to do my degree in Forensic Science and dropped out in the second year due to financial problems. This was a little over a year ago. Now my health is deteriorating so fast I will probably never actually finish a degree, and I always wanted to do a full doctoral PhD but things don't always go the way you want them to. It's actually one of my biggest annoyances, that I never finished University because both times I was getting high marks and likely to leave with a 1st Honours but shit happens I guess.

PS: Don't take my silly corrections, especially with things like English/American spellings, seriously. I may mock the American spellings but I'm only doing it as a light jibe (even if technically the American spellings are actually wrong if you know anything on Linguistics). I'm not really a Linguistics guy, I just find it amusing some times.

Actually, I'd disagree, he asked why heterosexual men like lesbian porn, which actually has a complex psychology behind it. A lot of porn assumes author-insertion fantasy, which is why you often don't see the mens faces and the women is the central focal point of the porn. With lesbian porn, there is no-one for the watcher to imagine themselves as, they're superfluous, unwanted and as such, it shouldn't work as a point of erotic fantasy... but it does. As to why it works, I don't know, but there's an interesting point to discuss here, potentially on the psychology involved in porn usage. So no, I wouldn't claim this was trolling.

PS: Using "Homosexual" as an insult, even when used in an obviously ironic way, is likely to just offend people and make you look like a troll yourself.
