Des, the model offered works for me; if it doesn't resonate with you, that's fine . . . . I offered up because there are probably others reading who may find that model at least a little insightful & useful . . . . . . I know that the social component is the least obvious, but since most people make their sexual partner choices out of the their social circle, it does have a profound impact on one's sexuality, tho' maybe not the most obvious one .... . & social circles themselves have a profound impact on how our mating relationships work out in the long run . .. . (& I would fold family into social circle, they're part & parcel of that .. . . . ) I note that many women are 'socially lesbian', that is, they prefer to socialize with other women even tho' they may be only interested in fucking men . . . . & they have their best emotional relationships with women, frequently much richer emotional relationships with their best girlfriends than anything they ever end up having with any boyfriends . . . . In my experience, that's pretty common . . . . . & I've met plenty of lesbian separatists in my life, they just don't want to have anything to do with men. Period. Socially, sexually, whatever. Not a safety thing, they just want to live within their own woman-culture . .... & the gay male separatists I've known have been more about escaping the omnipresent straight culture than any kind of safety thing. (But this may have something to do with having lived in Cali all my life, where it's much 'safer' to be queer than many other parts of the planet . . . ) But mostly my point was that if we just talk about who people wanna fuck, that's a limited (if important) component of the totality of people's romantic-sexual-BDSM lives . ... . & some of those mismatched components can be very difficult, most especially when men lust for other men but love women. I've known quite a few men who fit into that category, who are technically bisexual but live as straight guys because they have no interest in having relationship with men but they have these cravings to suck cock . . . . . Which is part of what Dan Savage is alluding to in discussing bisexuals, I think . . . . . quote:
ORIGINAL: DesFIP Kia, I wouldn't normally consider my social choices to be part of my sexuality. Besides, that varies depending on what I'm doing. Going to the bookstore, I want another reader who understands how you can easily spend three hours there. A baseball or football game? Probably a male who can explain what I'm seeing. Clothes shopping? Usually another woman unless it's intimate apparel at which point I want my partner, since I'm primarily interested in his response to such items. But even an extreme lesbian could enjoy having Thanksgiving with her family, all the partners and children gathered together, watching a bowl game with her father or brother or brother in law. Or visiting a college roommate and her husband. Most of the gay men I've known prefer staying in a society of their own but that I believe is because of safety. With other gay males they don't have to worry about being verbally or physically attacked. But my mother was a bridge player and there were many gay males whose partners didn't enjoy the game, who were perfectly happy playing with her. Maria I also find porn tedious in the extreme. But straight men who watch porn don't get bored with it. Thirty years after puberty, they're still happy to watch a man inserting his tab into a woman's slot. And they don't get turned on by gay porn. So I don't think you can explain the discrepancy to tedium.
