LGBTitp - Part Five

*thinks about You thread*

*sniggers*


So a newcomer to these our boards' profile and a post says age 8, and signature says bisexual. Thoughts from people in the area? Dunno about anyone else, but I had no idea what I was in that regard 'til into high school, at least...

I would assume they'd be...bending the truth a little bit, as far as their age goes. I know a lot of bisexual people who have felt different since they were little, but having an understanding of 'bisexual' would be...odd at age eight.

Boo: You are an idiot. Seriously. You'll see.

Anuan: I suppose...

[Boo]

No I'm not!

=P silly-ninja-smiley GO!

[Serpentine]

I didn't see that, but I still figured you didn't mean it Nonetheless... Idiot.

[Ziren]

I'm pretty sure that we all remain idiots or just turn into other kinds of idiots with increasing age

About the sexual orientation thing, I'm not sure about mine and I'm 22. I know that I find some girls sexually attractive and in my whole life I've only met a single guy who I thought was sexually attractive - until he opened his mouth

I'm not sure whether this can actually be called bisexuality - but then again, I'm not thinking too much about such things.

Join the "Straight-But-Flexible" (or "Heteroflexible") Club! It's like the Tautology Club, except we're a lot less definite about things!
...except for sometimes.

[nepphi]

I'm ambisextrous!

...please don't hurt me ;-;

"We're all idiots here. I'm an idiot. you're an idiot. How do I know you're an idiot? Well you must be if you came here."

(And I fit into the "straight, but not narrow" field if only for now.)

I'm as straight as two short planks.

...Wait, what?

[blackfox]

Where are you?

He's still around Bookface at least. I don't think he's been on the boards recently.

Fixed that there for you.

Haha. Thank youuuu.

[Totally Guy]

...Wait, what?

The phrase is "thick as 2 short planks" to mean someone is stupid.
And "straight as a board" meaning straight.

Probably doesn't carry well internationally.

[Anuan]

I know both of those sayings, it just...didn't click to me, I guess. Huh.

[albis]

@ Boo: I'd be calling you an idiot if we had ever been dating plus, I didn't mean universally, I meant that the ones I had met so far were and that I have yet to meet someone to disprove that theory....


though I totally agree about the "we are all idiots" thing, the world wouldn't be as much fun if we were not.

about my sexuality, I think I approached being bisexual when I was around 17, decided it felt right to me, and stayed that way ever since.

[Faulty]

Haha. Thank youuuu.

No problem.

[Forever Curious]

Hello all. Well, I've had a thought itching in my head for a while, and a recent event prompted me to seek others' opinions. Now, I don't want to start a flamewar, but...

So a newcomer to these our boards' profile and a post says age 8, and signature says bisexual. Thoughts from people in the area? Dunno about anyone else, but I had no idea what I was in that regard 'til into high school, at least...

Argh! Meta-ninja'd!

Anyway, that's the event. And the topic I wanted to bring up is prepubescent (sp?) sexual orientation. I personally don't think such a conclusion can be drawn concerning sexual preferences until puberty at least.

Any thoughts on the subject?

[Rauthiss]

I think it might be feelings mistaken as sexual feelings. At that point, excuse me for generalizing, most are still in the "ewww, boys!" stage. Is it surprising, especially in today's society, that these could be labeled as bisexualism? That said, the newcomer does seem to have a grasp of grammar, language, and syntax that most 8 year olds don't have, in my experience. Perhaps we could pull her into this thread and interrogate her?

[Nameless Ghost]

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Aside from leaving me slightly more confused about several other topics than when I began, I would now say that I identify myself as asexual.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that realisation, it just seems like I now have a label I can wear that lets people assume things about me that may or may not be true and doesn't do a thing to really help me make any more sense of myself.

In the end I'd much rather just be myself and not really care if I'm classed as asexual, bisexual, "straight but just wants a very close friendship" or whatever else.

Story of my life, bro.

Any chance the person in question is 18 and made a typo/misclick?

On the BDSM-oriented forums I read, there's a lot of people (pretty much exclusively subs and switchers) claiming that they had an affinity for movement restriction and similar stuff long before puberty. Though I don't know anyone that made the claim that they saw it in a sexual context at that time...

Yeah... I can confirm that.

[Forever Curious]

Yeah... I can confirm that.

Rawr.

[Coidzor]

No, Lix Lorn. You are the duvet.

[Nameless]

I never thought about it in that aspect... you might have a point there! XD
Personally, being 22 and bisexual I've always found my tastes in people who look exactly their gender... you know, girls with smooth features, full lips and averagely curvy physique; or males who look masculine enough without having too much muscle (I don't particularly like facial hair but I don't mind it either, it depends on the person)...
oh, and I don't like guys younger than me, they are generally idiots. I dated a guy 4 years younger than me some time ago.... BIG mistake. u_u

HEY! I'm not a complete idiot...

[Forever Curious]

No, Lix Lorn. You are the duvet.

*insert "if you know what I mean" here*

[albis]

HEY! I'm not a complete idiot...

As I've said to another gentleman who raised the same point, I was just pointing out that the ones I've met so far were and that I had yet to meet someone to disprove that theory, I'm sorry for making too vague a choice of words ...

...plus, I thought you were older! LOL

[golentan]

Yeah... I can confirm that.

I can too. I really enjoyed wrapping myself in blankets tightly enough I couldn't really move.

Edit: And see my comment in the hello kitty thread on recreation for my current feelings on the subject.

[Lix Lorn]

I knew that was going to be the joke. XD
