I ran across this thread in the ED.


My sexuality is not a preference

pref·er·ence (pref'?r-?ns, pref'r?ns)
n.

The selecting of someone or something over another or others.
The right or chance to so choose.
Someone or something so chosen. See synonyms at choice.


Discuss/comment. n-n

Ok wow I was confused for a while there. D:
Confusing myself.

Ok so a in order to have a preference, you have to CHOOSE it.
And no one chose their sexuality.
(Because honestly, if I HAD a choice, Id chose to be straight. Because its the norm.. because id be more accepted.. among others)
But I cannot do that. I tried and I was not happy, because it wasnt me.
I AM GAY. Trying to be straight killed me.

Therefore I agree with this thread.


And for those that chose (or think they chose) to be either bi, straight or gay, whats your opinion?

I've always been attracted to women. For the longest time. Mostly starting way back in 4th grade when I was crushing on this one girl name Rachel (irony at its best) and I always made a fool of myself to get her to notice me. Then when she noticed me, she would make me nervous..she was nice to me. Now she's just a big slutface.

But no..it's not like I said in 4th grade (come on..young much?) that I was going to like girls. It just happened..and I didn't know what it meant, so I never talked or asked anyone about it..I just let it develop inside of me and the like.

School went on, I found myself crushing on more girls than boys...then when I actually tried to date a boy..they couldn't control their little friend, in turn..grossing me out completely.

I didn't choose, it happened all on its own.

wow hang on......just read all those links and brain huurtttsss gonk but I agree but as a true bisexual, I wonder why I react to both men and women, and Sammy only reacts to women, in regards to the true comment it seems that Bisexuality is becoming a fad. Pisses me off, Being drunk and kissing a girl doesn't count assholes. sorry I'm done.

Yeah, even though I understand theres TRUE BISEXUALS out there, they still confuse me.
Probably because I dont really understand the attraction to men.

But it makes me happy that SOME bi women arent doing it for the men, or just when theyre drunk.

Lawl, yeah it confused the hell outa me when I was reading it too.
I was like.. preference.. NO. WAIT. gonk

i dont think a part of a persons personality can be defined by choice of words
it is instead defined by how we affect others around us

Yeah I have always had an attraction to women.And this maybe kinda odd but older women..Even when I was young..
I never really understood it until Junior high..
And then I went through the denial of being a true lesbian.
I was scared to death to admit it that I never really found men a potential husband or even a boyfriend..
I did try dating a couple of guys but I was always afraid of being touched or held and all.
And finally when I came to terms with my "innerself"..I told everyone including myself that I am what I am..
And thats a lesbian fer sure..

I really hope that made sense...

haha I went on telling my life story and didnt even touch the topic..But yeah it all boils down to I didn't choose to be what I am..
It happened..
It can't be helped if I find comfort and security in a womans arms..

Yeah...I don't think that it's a 'preference' at all.

At the moment, I'm not even sure exactly WHAT I am.
I'm not going to label myself as bisexual or lesbian because honestly, at the moment I'm just confused.
I see a guy and think, "wow, he's hot" and I really do like flirting with guys, and the one guy I dated, was a good relationship, I enjoyed it.
But at the moment I'm in love with a girl and I think I find it more...appealing.
I can't help that I'm attracted to her, and that I like being with her... It's not a choice, it's just what is.

Um, yeah, not a preference for me. Literally my whole life, I modified my behavior to try to cover up certain abnormalities which I knew would make people uncomfortable, and I now associate with my sexuality.

For instance, when I was alone, my Barbies tended to make out with each other, take off each other's clothes, etc. When other people were around, I played "family".
