And don’t forget your right to use every given opportunity to bore people to death with the fact you’re transgendered/sexual/whatever.
To the OP: Male, straight. The idea of two men I find fairly repulsive. But that doesn’t mean I have anything against people doing it, just keep it away from me.
You’re right, and so is Malacandra. Let me expand that statement for clarity:
I used to think I was a totally straight man when in fact I was a gay woman with genital and other abnormalities in need of correction. Mrs. Six thought of herself as a straight woman until my transition made her realize that the person she had fallen in love with was a woman.
Mrs. Six’s coming to realize that having a sexual relationship with another woman was something she could do and be happy with because she loves me regardless of my anatomy does have some bearing on this discussion, I think.
Straight male: not horrificly revolting, just something else I’m not interested in doing. Like visiting Topeka, Kansas. Or eating fish stomach soup. Just no interest in that.
You need to read more carfully. Nothing in that post makes any reference to anything other than my sexual orientation, which is something the OP directly asked posters to provide.
She didn’t even mention it, and even if she had this is out of line for IMHO. You got issues with Kaitlyn, keep them out of my thread (and preferably in the Pit).
Adding to the data, I don’t find sex with a woman repulsive, it just doesn’t interest me. Maybe if Gwen Stefani (my girl crush) wanted to make out, I’d consider it but making out would be the extant of it.
I think the reason for the women aren’t interested/guys are repulsed schism is purely cultural. Lesbianism of a sort has always been around the edges of straight culture in porn and in smarmy asides. Acceptance of gay males is a fairly recent thing. I bet you’d find an age divide among straight males who just aren’t interested and those who are truly revolted. And I’d also bet that here, you’re gonna find a lot more “not interested” than you would in the general population.
Straight guy here. No interest in trying gay sex, the idea creeps me out. Nothing against gay people - have fun! - but I’m not wired up that way. Don’t want to hear about it, see it, nothing. My wife has always had gay male friends and I haven’t. She was initially concerned that I was a homophobe, because she hadn’t encountered anyone before who thought it was icky.
I think that along the lines of the OP is that many more straight women would be “open” to be on the receiving end of a female-to-female sexual experience, as opposed to men, who find all aspects of the encounter to be pretty much revolting.
female, straight: I can remember a few times in my life, mostly with a few drinks in me, that I was attracted to a woman. But the attraction never really took an overtly sexual turn. It was more, “damn, she’s gorgeous. I can’t take my eyes of of her.” I have no interest in having any sort of physical relationship with a women. I don’t, however, find it disgusting. If I did, how could I ever expect a man to do the same thing and like it? I’ve never understood that double standard.
Straight male, but I’m going to say I don’t think sex with another man is disgusting or revolting. It’s just outside my realm of experience. As a little kid the idea of kissing a girl was yucky, yet once I tried it I was hooked. I have never been attracted to another man, but if I found myself attracted to another man I don’t think I’d have a problem with having sex with him. Of course my wife would kill me, but if I were single, sure, I’d have a stab at it.
That’s one thing that I’ve always considered in the biological versus choice argument in regards to homosexuality. The erection is controlled by some pretty base instincts. If I see a hot naked girl, no thought really has to go into to it. Blood rushes down. If I see a handsome naked man…nothin’. Heck, maybe even a slight ick. Like in the locker room if you walk in and turn the corner, only to see a bent over male ass belonging to a co-worker (happened to me yesterday). My reaction was: ewwwww, I really did not want to see that.
Besides. Men are a pretty gross lot. We’re hairy. We come with a set of several undesirable smells. And we don’t have any soft playful toys on our person that don’t threaten to become hard menacing toys.
Male. Straight. The idea of sex with another man just doesn’t hold any interest for me. At risk of sounding shallow, I have the same reaction to the thought of sex with any man that I have to the thought of sex with a really unattractive woman. There just isn’t any erotic stimulation there. Let’s call it the “Roseanne Barr Effect.”
Never had the smallest interest in another woman in a physical sense, nor any idea of getting naked with one. I can’t say it repulses me, but it’s lke golf - I get the basic idea, and know many people are very keen on it, but it wouldn’t particularly interest me to the point of actively pursuing it.
However, I have been known to look at women on the street or wherever and think she was gorgeous. In fact, I did that pretty recently while I was with my other half who asked me if I was checking out her butt. And I was, but I hadn’t realised I was until he said it. I thought that was pretty weird. Maybe I’m a subconscious lesbian.
A friend of mine said that to me once (not that you’re not a friend of mine, I hasten to add!!) and I asked him had he thought that if he was engaged in those same activities with another man, instead of with a woman, would he feel as delighted at the prospect of taking the part of the “woman” - for want of a better word-?
He looked at me as if I was entirely mad. It had never occured to him that he might not be the “man” in the scenario. I’m not saying you are the same as him, but when you said there that you couldn’t see how it could be different reminded me of him.
Straight male, and while I it doesn’t gross me out, it most definitely does not appeal to me. Sort of like Scumpup is saying, but it’d have to be one incredibly unattractive woman, both physically and on a personality level, to turn me off as much as a man would.
Besides, isn’t that what the paper bag is for?
Speaking strictly for myself, no way. The idea of kissing another woman falls in the “just not interested” category; the idea of other breasts is slightly more interesting, but only in the abstract. However, the idea of going down on another woman, or having a woman go down on me… :eek: [shudder] I’d been having sex for years before I ever let a man go down on me, because I found the idea so unappealing. I’ve learned to appreciate it, but I can live without it (as long as my SO compensates, which he does ;)).
So count me as a straight woman who has an “ick” reaction.
I am not attracted to women but I can admire an attractive woman, although I would have no interest in having sex with her. For that matter I can admire an attractive man but it doesn’t mean I want to have sex with him either.
The idea of sex with another woman doesn’t exactly disgust me, as other’s have said it just has no appeal to me. It’s not something I would want to do or even think about doing. Now, if I were an actress and I had to perform a make-out scene with Catherine Zeta-Jones, I might be okay with that, as long as that’s as far as it went.
As a straight guy, the idea of gay sex doesn’t seem disgusting to me. No more disgusting than anal sex with a woman. In a sense, it’s just getting your rocks off in a hole. And, I no more want to do it with a man than an unattractive woman.
What really kind of skeezes me out, is the idea of kissing a guy, holding hands with a guy, or cuddling up next to a guy. THAT is what seems so freaky to me.
