Not really, I know quite a few asexuals. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that they do not find either gender attractive. I'm bi.
Title: Sexual Orientation
Post by: me and my piano---tim on November 02, 2006, 07:17:04 pm
But is it that they don't find either sex sexually appealing, or that they aren't able to experience sexual arousal? Can your friends distinguish between people they find attractive/unattractive or good looking?
ps I don't mean this to be offensive at all, just curious... kinda fascinated, actually. I love the brain.

The former. They definitely can tell which people they find attractive or unattractive, however, they aren't aroused by either sex. It's sort of a hard concept to articulate; they have websites, I'd google the asexuals =)

I'm not quite following this...

Anyway, the biggest advantage to being gay is the fact that i'm able to laugh in all of the jocks' faces because i get more girls. If you're a guy, and you can go shopping (having $$$ is a plus) and pick out a cute outfit for a girl, she'll love you. I'd know.

I have many friends that report that they are bisexual.  It doesn't mean they haven't come out of the closet.  When i have discussed this topic with them they have informed me they find both sexes equally appealing.  They have sexual relationships with both sexes on a regular basis.  I think by someone saying they are bisexual they are "admitting" that they are gay/lesbian and straight.

anyway, I guess it's also a matter that the different sexes can provide different levels of intimacy in a relationship.  A woman might be more sensitive to another woman and therefore they would have a different way of connecting.

I am straight but I can understand the concept of being Bi.

Manda, you might want to spend less time laughing and actually think about it?  I can honestly say in the beginning i was really confused but you always want to remain open minded like Si said, about any concept not just this one.

That's just sort of rude and uncalled for a lot. Like everybody's been saying to you, just because you can't or aren't willing to accept/understand something doesn't mean that it's not true or doesn't exist or anything of the sort.

And why the hell is this a thread anyway? This shouldn't be a topic for discussion. A preference is a preference, and preferring men or women is no different than preferring red or blue or black or white. It shouldn't be an issue in the first place.

Title: Sexual Orientation
Post by: NoelleNC on December 28, 2006, 11:54:59 am
While I don't think being gay is a choice at all, I think a lot of people that are bisexual are just a product of today's society. People like experimenting and pushing the limits more than ever now, so to me it just seems natural that people's sexuality could do the same. Whereas in the past it was taboo for young people to hint at bisexuality, in a lot of places it is kind of intriguing and fun now. At my college campus, for example, there is a large community of gays, and because of that I think a lot of bisexuals as well.

Vanessa's target audience is probably 16-30, and in my opinion this is a very sexually free generation! I'm straight though :)
Title: NOT A CHOICE
Post by: liquidblue244 on December 28, 2006, 08:03:01 pm
Being gay is NOT  a choice, people don't choose to be gay, and anyone who says it's a choice can take it up with me, those people are ignorant. Anyone who thinks it's a choice, try it and see if you turn gay, you won't. Cuz, if we could do that, I'd be straight already...

The percentage of gay-bi or, lets say non straight people is much bigger than most people think, what happens is that is not always easy to tell someone's sexual orientation, also, because of the social homophobia many gay-bi people feel that they have to hide their orientation in order to be accepted and, sadly, many times that is true.

I heard the stastistic that 1 of 10 people are gay (I don't know if that includes bisexual). I would guess that she would have a larger gay following than, say, a gangster rap artist or whatever.

Post by: Zloska_of_yy on January 03, 2007, 04:15:47 am
People who think you choose to be gay are definitely not the smartest people around (in my opinion). Because if gay people choose to be gay that implies that all straight people at some point in their lives choose to be straight. I have never heard from any of my straight friends that they made a choice and if you would have a poll amongst straight people iI would bet that practically nobody ever made that choice.
So if straight people never considered the choice, why would gay people? The only choice you make is whether you accept who you are or not.

Nicely said! And anyone who thinks it's a choice should visit scholar.google.com and read some actual science about it. There have been significant studies on the matter since the 1980s.  Many people don't realize they're gay until puberty, because that's when your sexuality becomes obvious.  There are tons of biological facts to support a genetic link to homosexuality, like finger-length ratios, the size of cellular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, prenatal hormone imbalances due to maternal stress in the first and third trimesters, obvious linkage in family trees... it goes on and on....

Post by: Pyro on January 10, 2007, 02:57:18 pm
I find this topic kind of interesting because when I first joined these boards, I was unsure of my sexuality, but now I'm pretty sure I'm gay. And it always bothered me since I first became a fan of Vanessa, that listening to her music was "gay." I didn't want to prove the people who judged me based on my taste in music right by accepting my sexuality. But now I know that even if some of the things I enjoy are stereotypical, there is more to me than that despite what people think. So I was curious how many other male Nessa fans were gay, because it's kinda tough not fitting into society's perceived notion of who a Nessa fan is... i.e. White Chicks... which I am neither.

I don't know about other states and citites but here in Los Angeles, California being gay/bisexual/lesbian is NOT a big deal. A met a girl at work who just told me she was a lesbian and I really did not care, and my friend is bisexual! that was such a trip when she told me, as long as she doesn't get frisky when we hit the gym together I really don't mind. She is who she is! Every where I turn there are gay men or lesbian women and people could care less. In high school we had the "Gay Straight Alliance" club and it was one of the BIGGEST in our school and NO ONE CARED that they were gay. come to LA!  :razz:

ATM reminded me of a chick I was dating in high school, and the same kind of feelings I had for her.  After that I found out I really connected to VC's musical expression specifically.  I was hooked.  One listen to Twilight and it was definantly done and over.

Guys aren't supposed to connect that way so they either don't, don't admit it, or are secure in their sexuality enough not to give a damn.  I fit in the last category.  But then again VC is the first artist I really connect to in other ways.  People are more than what genitalia they happen to have and which ones they desire for sexual intercourse.  Just the way her imagination flows or how she expresses her point of view through music I can relate to.  Some songs are a stretch but just take paradise -- anyone who has suffered from depression might be able to relate to that.  VC might express various forms of misandry(not really) and I might have a point of view on that, so even if I don't agree with it I still can relate to it in one form or another.  And in that way it always gives me food for thought even if it is a totally female issue.

I also find her damn attractive (you might not know,) but that doesn't change the musical aspect because I really do connect to the music and lyrics.

It seems today that people are way more accepting of homosexuality, so more people are coming out and stuff like that....V's music is a little girly as Charmedguy said, so of course gay guys (and lesbians) will like it....I love, IDK, I just don't listen to that many guys because girls voices sound better to me....


ya I just don't think straight guys usually connect with the sentimental/emotional aspect of "chick music."

I don't know about other states and citites but here in Los Angeles, California being gay/bisexual/lesbian is NOT a big deal. A met a girl at work who just told me she was a lesbian and I really did not care, and my friend is bisexual! that was such a trip when she told me, as long as she doesn't get frisky when we hit the gym together I really don't mind. She is who she is! Every where I turn there are gay men or lesbian women and people could care less. In high school we had the "Gay Straight Alliance" club and it was one of the BIGGEST in our school and NO ONE CARED that they were gay. come to LA!  :razz:


ya here in boulder it seems all fine and dandy, but really only because no one talks about it. A couple weeks ago this lesbian agreed to let a couple guys she met at a bar stay at her house for a night because they were on a road trip or something. Then one of em starting hitting on her and she's like, No, bitch, please, I'm a lesbian... and then he straight up punched her in the face. This news got around campus and then the next week or so a gay couple was walking down the pearl street mall holding hands and a skinhead came up and punched one of them in the face and ran. And just the other night I was at a party and my friend was going to go to this other guy (paul's) house who I had met briefly at the beginning of the year. So my friend was asking who wanted to go with him to meet paul, and I was up for it, and he was like no you can't come. I asked why and he told me Paul didn't like me. And I was like why... cuz I barely even remembered meeting paul. and then he tells me he doesn't like me cuz I'm gay. usually i'm really good at brushing this shit off, but sometimes it really hurts like nothing else. c'est la vie, right? but ya, sometimes it doesn't seem like a problem, but it is.

over here in Illinois suburbia its a little more accepting than in the city well I think I used to live by the city and if you were gay than god help you. But over here its really not all that much of a deal. There are still people that are all omg get away but not as much. At my highschool there is a club like that as well Called Prisim. or something like that. Never went to it because I have only told my close friends about it but not everyone knows about it yet.

It's because V's music is girly. I hate to say it, but it's very feminine to listen to V, no offense to you straight guys who listen to her. You can be in touch with your fem side and be straight, but most straight guys choose not to be because, god forbid, someone will think they're gay!


Yeah I know. I feel kinda weird liking her music...but I can't change shit. Only reason Im on this forum is cuz online forums are addicting. As hell.

People exaggerate alot.  I always turn it around in an aspect that I can relate to.  As far as I'm concerned Vanessa's music if for gulping down large containers of very dark beer, muscle cars, and Half Time football entertainment.  Vanessa just caters to her female and gay fans in large disproportion to her male ones.  It's always been that way.  It's only real men who have the balls to stand up and like something everyone thinks is feminine.  People just like to put limits on themselves and others.  Most importantly others.  Vanessa just happens to be female, so yeah it is feminine.

I disagree. Listening to girly music is just about as feminine as me liking pretty girls in girly dresses. One does not have to be especially feminine to like girly things; indeed most "manly" men like girly girls.

I agree with Will. I don't think liking any type of music makes you butch, feminine...none of that. Every person has a certain style and taste. I love pop punk/alternative and that doesn't make me out to be more masculine because of it. Music has very very little to do with your femininity or masculinity. Its simply music that you either like or you don't.

I attest that, in person, Vanessa Carlton is one mega hot female.  Not from spending any real amount of time around her, but from standing in line to receive a signature and stuff like that.  She is 10 times more attractive in person than most of the pictures you see of her.  That in itself should attract male fans like flies to fly paper.  And that is NOT gay.  That is the opposite of gay.

I think the thing about Vanessa Carlton and pictures is that, photogenically, from picture to picture she can look like a totally different person.  The chameleon effect probably contributed to nobody knowing who she is...well, except for her die hard fans around the world who do know who she is.  

But that can be an advantage too...

It just means that she needs a little more exposure like she is going to get now with irv.  After that she will be a big hit because she will entice(your word) people to no end.  If given enough exposure she will always be able to seem fresh and new no matter how much time passes by because she will always be able to change her look with respect to the camera.  At least that is the theory.

This is the whole intrinsic/environment debate as far as I'm concerned.  From my experience with talking with lots of different people I've concluded part of your sexuality is who you are as you were born, and the other part is by choice. It is similar to the genetic/environment debate.  From person to person it varies and so people will always argue about it.

I used to think Bisexuals were just crazy, but I'm now convinced they are the most liberated.  I'm not bisexual, but I've come to know human sexuality enough to come to the conclusion part of it is based on an innate attraction, and the other is from what you have come to the conclusion of with respect to your own sexuality and how sexuality is defined by others around you.

Bisexuality is one of the 3 sexual orientations recognized by the world health organization; so it is an actual orientation, it doesn't matter who understands it and who doesn't.


Not that I disagree with you, but the WHO is a lousy authority to cite in this matter. Their work is mostly on treating and abating infectious disease in third world nations.


Dr. Seuss anyone? GAY

and just to clarify... I do believe bisexuality is very real. Usually, amongst my bi friends, they obviously lean one way or the other. Any thoughts on this??

If listening to girly music determined your sexual preference I'd be the biggest queen in L.A. I've never had the desire to be with a dude.


I know this is a very old post, but...

LMFAO.hahahahaha

If I can just put my 2 cents worth of thought here... hehe a.) if chick music defines sexuality, then all straight guys here arent straight. b.) I think that no one is 100% straight... i know that there's always a slight chance of curiosity there... that's what i think.

really... what defines being gay anyway? How can everyone be "a little bit gay" and not wholly gay? And if you think anybody can be a little bit gay then that must mean anybody is also a little bit straight.  Is there a thin line between straight and gay? or are there two lines separating straight from gay, crating a gap that is BI? And if you're not in the center of that gap, are you really bi?

well... i have a bi friend and she explained everything what she thinks is the deal. not everyone is straight in the sense of seeing beauty in everyone, just not the sex part of it but she says that later on, if you have that though and sight, it'll develop into something more... and she said that she's bi cause she's in the 'gap' as you mentioned, seeing men and women as equal opportunity... you know?  i know its confusing but it made sense when she was saying it... im stupid so i don't really explain myself well at all lol. i know i didn't make sense before perhaps too blunt (and kinda stupid  :lol: ) but that's my opinion.  :)

First off, yep, gay.  Out and proud too.

I agree.  Do you know what year homosexuality was taken off the list as a mental illness?  1993.  It's not that long ago, and it disturbs me a lot.

As a side note, I wish I could help you with your problem, itsthefiveofus, but I think I'm one of the very few gay guys that doesn't have any sort of functioning gaydar.  It's a huge disadvantage, let me tell you, haha.  

I'd probably just talk to the guy, find out a little bit more about him.  And if you're out, then it makes things easier.  But I don't know your situation.

Done. I added choice has changed since I answered last so people can click that and answer again.

Actually, I am not sure if it's working. Someone let me know if they are able to vote or not.

Well i classify as Asexual, mainly because i find beauty in both genders, but i prefer men. I also classify as Androgynous or Gender Ambiguous. So i don't feel i really have a sexual orientation because i don't feel like a have a gender >.>

Don't worry i'm just as confused as you are XDD

Nice to see the whole spectrum represented.

And I definitely agree that many people's answers have probably changed since 2005.
