From "Polls only, no discussion": I would like to discuss being attracted to a person of another gender than usual if you met the right person

In My Humble Opinion
21

Never say never, but I really can’t imagine any circumstance where I would be attracted to a man. Like others, that’s just how I’m wired. Sexually, I would rather please myself than have the help of another of the same sex.

22

Like many here, I am cis hetro male, and I can certainly identify when a male is conventionally attractive (duh!), but that does not mean that I am attracted to them. I can also state that I have not found any conventional male physically/sexually attractive.

I have met androgynous people that I found physically attractive. In my imagination, if I were to be in a romantic relationship with such a person, and we became physical, and it were revealed that they had male genitalia, I would not be repulsed and (again, in my imagination) would be OK with that fact.

23

Cis-hetero guy here, and I can see a guy and think “oh he’s cool” or “he’s a good looking dude”, or “I bet women sure find him attractive”, but that’s it. On the other hand I can see certain women and I have to do my utmost not to stare (not in some intentionally creepy or leering kind of way, but just because I find them so attractive, cute, elegant or whatever). And I’ve known women who I would just love to hold, if nothing else. But a guy? Nope, that feeling just isn’t there.

24

I’ve never felt that way about anyone.

25

I seem to have a weakness for those who I see as cute, as opposed to what most people would call beautiful, for some reason.

26

I had a bit of a laundry list of items there. Was there a specific one you were referring to?

27

I’d go the other way. It’d be easier to imagine myself having sex with a guy under some contrived circumstances than the whole cuddling, making out, etc thing. The former could be experimentation, drunk & horny, etc but non-sexual intimacy feels different to me and more based on actual attraction than “I’ll try anything once”.

28

I’ve had deep emotional long term relationships with other men, I’ve never had a sexual relationship with a man, I don’t find men sexually attractive, at all. That being said, penis doesn’t scare me and yes I can imagine having sex with a man and enjoying it even though it’s not my thing.
