I wish I did. I’d get invited to a lot more parties.
I’m heterosexual but am attracted to women. Boobies are awesome! I’ve had sexual encounters with other women but have always been on the receiving end regarding below the belt activities…For some reason I could never bring myself to be the “pitcher”, so to speak.
I also enjoy watching men masturbate…is there a separate type of “sexual” for that?
I could have said those words, but I rather liked those coworkers and I know their intentions were good.
HA!
Well, now that I feel relatively safe, I can reveal a secret. I have known that I liked boys ever since 1st grade. I had an enormous crush on Geoff which lasted for all of 2 weeks, until he pushed me off of the merry-go-round and smudged my dress. I was done! After Geoff, it was Walter. Totes a nice guy! That lasted for about 3 months, and I became disinterested. After that, it was John. He lived around the corner, and his mom baked the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever eaten. Etc., etc.
Heh. I was the world’s tiniest ho without actually having done anything. 
Hetro. Though I do appreciate a nice pair of tits.
Surely you would concede that there’s a line between preference and pathology, though, right? I mean, you could end that sentence will all kinds of things.
“Who am I hurting by doing heroin?”
“Who am I hurting by sawing off my fingers?”
“Who am I hurting by investing in time-shares?”
“Who am I hurting by listening to the Arcade Fire?”
Which is a legitimate question that theologians have had to tackle. As indicated, it’s the problem of Evil: why did a good God create people who can do evil?
Disclaimer: Just for the record, please note that I don’t think homosexuality is evil. On the contrary, I think it’s jolly good, and I support it wholeheartedly.
Could God microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn’t eat it?
Annie-Xmas’s sentence ended with a non-action. You’ve replaced that non-action with actions in your followup examples.
Also, the obvious answer to your hypothetical questions is, “Yourself”. In that old saying, “Do as you will, with harm to none”, I would say that the “none” includes yourself.
I’m not saying Annie-Xmas or anyone else is wrong, but this doesn’t make sense to me.
A non-action can be harmful just as much as an action. A person who won’t eat fruits and vegetables, for instance, is just as bad off as a person who will only eat red meat.
And a condition can be harmful to a person even if they don’t recognize it. Hence, the whole purpose of interventions.
Bi woman here. I actually prefer women to men, but the pool of women my age who aren’t either breeders or somehow woefully emotionally damaged makes it almost impossible to date them anymore. I wish them well, it’s just that I’m picky. So, I mainly stick to guys these days. I miss the soft skin, pretty voices, and good smells, though.
Okay, this I gotta hear: Exactly how is a person PHYSICALLY harmed by not having sex with another person???
Well I guess you could say they are harming themselves by missing out on of life’s most basic pleasures.
And this harms them PHYSICALLY exactly how? I still don’t get your reasoning.
The whole conversation in the OP got started because I overheard another guy tell said 24 year old guy that people need to have sex like they need food and water. Not being shy on the subject, I joined in and said “That is so wrong.”
Hetero (non-practicing)
My orientation is centered around kink. I’ve never been interested in vanilla intercourse with anyone but women. However, my fantasies of sexual dominance have no such limits. The thrill of power is erotic regardless of over whom I exercise it.
We’re here, we’re straight, and we’re in your face! STRAIGHT PRIDE!
99% of humanity have sex, Annie-Xmas. If you are in that minority that doesn’t, chances are you’re going to feel just a little weird about it.
Being different isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it makes for a very painful existence. Maybe it shouldn’t. Maybe the person who’s different should be happy for what they have and should stop thinking about what they’re missing. But dammit, sometimes you want to be able to hang out with folks and understand from first-hand experience what the hell they’re talking about. I can pretend to understand, but it’s not the same.
It ain’t that hard to figure out why someone would want to stop being asexual. You acting like it is really isn’t helpful.
Maybe you just haven’t met the right T-girl.
LOL – I bet a lot of us have been in that category at some point. I certainly have.
I suspect that most people who are 100% anything have hangups. I’ll cling to my hangups, though, thank you very much. I’ll also keep them (applied) to myself; the rest of you can all enjoy whatever it is you enjoy and I’ll drink to that.
