If you had 100% control over your sexual orientation, which would you be? [HIDDEN]

Ummmm, what does pansexual mean?

there's this wonderful tool called the internet that's very useful for educating yourself.

This thread topic is just stupid in my opinion. I would have thought that people do have total control of their sexual orientation

Disagree. I sometimes think it would be great to be attracted to guys. It just seems.. easier..
But for some reason I've never been attracted to one in that way. This is something deep inside me that I have no control over. Can't make myself love someone.

Is sexual orientation about love? Is love something more than just sex? I'd like to believe it is.

[Fluminator]

Ummmm, what does pansexual mean?

The way it's been explained to me before is (by someone who identified as pansexual):
Pansexual is "Gender is a literal zero factor in whether you are attracted to someone."
Bisexual implies different genders can still sort of affect your types (and it also assumes there are only 2 genders which some pansexuals view as outdated)

IDK if I fully understand though so don't quote me on it.

I saw an adonised bell shaped 5 piece pan set the other day... Phwoarr!

[PRINCE WILLIAM]

Asexuality would be great indeed giving you new perspectives and freeing your spirit but do not worry, it comes an age when sexual desire is muted and you can pursue other goals.

[MajorMitchell]

Well Prince Vilhelm, I hope not. I have long been inspired by Old Bob, a neighbour who died aged 96 and he was still interested in attractive ladies until the end. He watched a lot of Women's tennis. Deaf as a post so he used to have the TV volume maxed. Lovely old chap. We had a Kylie Minogue video marathon once.

Wasn't it just easy to love whomever you love and not create tons of names - sorry for quoting.

[Hellenic Riot]

I've secretly always wished that a throbbing hairy penis with big blue veins turned me on

[damian]

I honestly have no idea why anyone would choose to be straight (or gay for that matter). Being bi/pan = a significantly larger pool of people to find a perfect partner in.

At least with ace you would be gaining the ability to not worry about sex

[Octavious]

I'm not even sure what being bisexual would involve. I can see a bloke now and think he's a good looking chap, but in terms of sexual compatibility the mechanics simply doesn't work. The options available for sex between two men I find fundamentally repulsive to the extent even thinking about them makes me feel a bit queasy. Does being bisexual simply mean that that repulsion is not there (which conceivably may have led to experimentation in early years, although I can't imagine anything more than that as heterosexual relationships have so many more advantages), or is it more about a pull than simply a lack of a push?

Are you okay? Is there something wrong with you mentally?

[Restitution]

Yes, idiot.

Also... you find the concept of oral sex makes you queasy? Fuck's wrong with you?

[Octavious]

Sorry, I thought we were having an open and honest conversation. I wasn't aware we were back in business of spitting bile at each other.

[flash2015]

I don't know why we are all going off on Octavious. He hasn't said anything objectionable here.

I didn't think he was talking about oral sex...but you know that the popularity of oral sex is a (relatively) recent thing, don't you? They can see this in the rise in throat cancer:

I know all of the words to a surprising number of Broadway showtunes, and pastels make up more than 20% of my weekend wardrobe when seasonally appropriate.

This thread seemed like the right place to provide this information.

So, one of those options is oral sex... so he's saying that he finds oral sex fundamentally repulsive. Which is... yikes

Clearly he's *not* only talking about anal sex, because a lot of gay men don't do anal sex. He said he finds all of the options repulsive.

Do you have a source for that (that many gay men don't have anal sex)? I hadn't heard that before.
