Mostly straight, but lesbian enough to be bisexual. =)

I'm going to go with Heterosexual, but only because 'the guy who fathered all creation' wasn't an option.

WAHOO go bi people!!!11!!!!

i'd say bi. Woooo, go me!

As I said in my own thread, I'd describe myself as either bisexual or bicurious.

YAY another to the "grey" side :D

I am quite certain I'm straight, even though a lot of people assume otherwise ;)

Aside: what are hermafrodytes and transgendered people supposed to vote :P ?

I honestly do not know. I have had some experience with the ladies, so I am definately not gay.. well, definately not exclusively gay at least.

But I have homosexual tendancies, like any other human being, I guess. Nothing too serious. Erm..

Where's the "unsure" option?...

Don't ask, don't tell?

however they consider themselves

for example...a male to female transgender who is attracted to men is heterosexual

Where's the "unsure" option?...
More to the point, where is the 'Myrth-sexual' option?

Leaning more towards the heterosexual than any of the other options, although there are times when asexual seems like a pleasant -- or at least peaceful -- option. :)

Im sorry I didnt know the English term for "sexuelle Orientierung".
Tell what it is as I didnt find it in the online dict.

Haven't we done this several times by now?

Im sorry I didnt know the English term for "sexuelle Orientierung" didnt occur to me.
Tell what it is as I didnt find it in the online dict.
i imagine the phrase youre looking for is "sexual orientation"

your question was correct though, if thats what you meant. dont worry.

Haven't we done this several times by now?

I did not yet see one.

"Sexual orientation', possibly?

EDIT:
Nadkor beat me to it, I see.

I'm ambiguously straight.

Pretty and straight

If you are unsure, you are likely bisexual, at least to a point.

That's what the search function is for.

Bisexual. And convinced that deep down you all are... most of you just don't admit it ;)

straight.

Pretty and straight

I'm pretty and straight, too :p.

Though getting stared at by other guys is very awkward...

Bi-curious.

totally gay! :fluffle:

COOL!

Pffft. You'll get used to it ;)

Pffft. You'll get used to it ;)

I have, but it's still a bit strange. Though, it's extremely fun to begin talking after I notice them making eyes at me. My voice is so deep that it makes their eyes bug out, like "oh god... how could I... oh god...".

:D

Straight, as my girl will testify. ;)
I have a few friends who are gay and lesbian, but they're pretty cool. Except that one who has a crush on me. It's hard being sexy :/
It's kind of odd being sought by both girls and guys...

Haven't we done this several times by now?

Nearly everything's been done several times now.

oooooh. HETEROsexual men... :rolleyes:

oooooh. HETEROsexual men... :rolleyes:

Yep. The situation I described actually happened again a few days ago in the supermarket. It was these two guys of about 20 - 22... Funny as hell when I started talking while they were staring at me. The reactions were priceless.

The smaller one started walking away faster and faster, and the taller one's eyes were bulging. He kept looking back, wondering what the fuck had just happened!

I'm a straight guy, but my best friend is a lesbian, so I wind up hanging out with a lot of gay guys and a few other lesbians. But hey, I'm not complaining. :D

straight. what do i win?

But I have homosexual tendancies, like any other human being, I guess.


Well I definately dont.
I consider myself quite liberal and really think being homosexual is cool (and its quite practical: no pregnancies and for women even very low probability of getting aids, but im male so this does not apply for me), but I really cant imagine doing something alike myself.

Why is it that very few women have problems with having sex with other women, whereas men can hardly ever "imagine" having sex with another guy?

I'm happy and straight. I'm happy because tomorrow my gf is coming over and we can both do some naughty and smutty stuff together :D
Now where did I put the cuffs and whip? *saunters around seraching*

Why is it that very few women have problems with having sex with other women, whereas men can hardly ever "imagine" having sex with another guy?

Interesting question, I'll ask my gf but I'm sure she won't know either. but i know she won't have sex with other girls. Personally I don't think most women are totally cool about having sex with other females. How do you know they are? I seem to have noticed that females, more than men, are ok with kissing and such with other females but having sex...that's a much bigger step. I myself know hardly any female who would have sex with another female and I'm studying at a university so I get to meet and talk to lots of people.

I'm one of the persons who don't want anything to do with other men, in a sexual context that is! Other activities are just fine. I'm straight and since I'm entirely happy with that why change it? The thought of me being with a man, in a sexual context, disgusts me. Lucky as I am we all have a free choice on the matter and as long as both persons are in legal age and both consent they can do anything they want. Well..within the boundaries of the law at least ;)
(No howling sex in the local grocery store and such)

Yeah, I think most women in real life don't like lesbian sex either. Cabra West is probably confused because there is so much lesbian porn on the internet.

I don't really understand why some men like to see that, I have nothing against gay people but that doesn't mean I have to like to watch it.

Women, whether bi or not, tend to be more likely to kiss or even grope each other (often because it makes the boys around them very happy). This may be due to the fact that women are (a) less likely to be insecure about their sexuality and (b) encouraged to form closer relationships in the first place.

I agree, however, that most girls would shy away from all out sex with other girls.

From my experiance with girls, straight girls have no problem smacking each others asses and acting as if they were lesbian in front of guys, just to make them horny and whatnot. On the other hand, these same girls won't do that stuff with a lesbian girl. It's like a football player smacks his teammate's ass in congradulations (why, i don't know), but wouldn't smack a gay mans ass.
My girl freaks out when I tease her by talking about lesbian sex, but still smacks her girlfriend's asses (which I find rather funny)

Football is my favorite sport to watch on TV. Why? Just imagine the exact same thing except everyone on the field has no clothes on. Mmmm... yummy... :fluffle: :fluffle: :p

I'm somewhat heterosexual. I don't really pay much attention to such misguided labels as 'gay' and 'straight'. But as I'm in a happy monogamous heterosexual relationship, such things tend to figure themselves out. :D

Hetrosexual, and very confident in my sexuality. ;)

How do you know you don't have subconscious bi/homosexual desires? You don't! Because then they would be conscious! :p

Ah, but that doesn't make me any less confident in myself, or the people I find attractive thus, I'm confident in my sexuality. :)

Ah... fair enough.


*Random question* Would you be confident in your own sexuality enough to help a friend if he got his foot stuck in a public shower?

Ah... fair enough.

Believe it or not, been there already! Lol!
It was my mate Dan, and he is gay. He slipped and got his toe caught it the plug hole. I ended up having to crouch down beside him and use shower gel to loosten it. It was quite funny! :D

Althoe im confutibly hetrosexual I expect never to find a girl so I picked Asexual. oh well im resind to my fate.

im straight...but two of my really good friends are bisexual

Straight... But there's nothing wrong with gay's or lesbians!

Not really sure if I'm gay, bi or somewhere in between. I like very few guys, and I'm wondering if that's because I spend 8 years trying to convince myself I like them, or because I actually do. Certainly the ration of females attracted to to males attracted to is heavily weighted towards the female side. I'll go with bi for now, but it's a shame there's no "unsure" option.

With one notable exception, straight.

Straight

I don't really understand why some men like to see that, I have nothing against gay people but that doesn't mean I have to like to watch it.

I have no clue if there is more lesbian porn or more straight porn on the internet, I don't watch it.

But being a bisexual woman, I made the experience that very few girls will turn you down... only happened to me once before. Most seem to be at least curious, as long as they are not in another relationship at that time.

About 90% gay, but since that leaves 10% i voted "Bi" in the poll.

"I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

You have to do the whole thing.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat"

When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee


Anyway, I like the ladies. Infer from that what you will.

Straight...but hey, whatever floats your boat. It's all good. :)

No howling sex in the local grocery store and such

You're no fun...that's the best kind of sex. :fluffle:

4 people are ASEXUAL in this poll???
Kool *thumbs up* lol

In my opinion you're all queer.

In my opinion you're all queer.

Thank you! :)

Straight.. was seduced into experimentation and was left with a simple conclusion.. I'm really.. really straight

Bi. All my long term relationships have been with females, but i enjoy the occassional romp with a guy.

As straight as a piece of string. Thick, brittle string, that is...

Gay. Come on you homo's come have sex bla bla bla stereotype stereotype fairy wings and glitter etc etc

MTF transgender who is bisexual and asexual. AHA! So far I'm the only person I know who is that. Never mind.

Twould be Homosexual.

For the record, Bisexual.

I don't really understand why some men like to see that, I have nothing against gay people but that doesn't mean I have to like to watch it.

I don't agree that most women don't like lesbian sex; most of the women I know who identify as bisexual or lesbian most definitely do like sex with other women. And straight girls identify straight for a reason; so obviously they don't like, or aren't attracted to, the idea of it.

And while I can't explain why 'some men' like lesbian porn I can tell you that it goes both ways. I know girls that like gay porn. Humans are just that way in my experience, we've all got our kinks. It's all just varying degrees of unusual.

Definitely straight.
I find the idea of naked men utterly repulsive, but naked ladies are pure art!

My theory why women are more likely to be bi-curious is that everyone needs close contact with their mothers, for suckling as a child, but males need to avoid conflicts with other males and with the father so there's likely to be a male-repulsion gene.

Heterosexual.

I've considered becoming asexual, but that's just a cop-out :p

I can explain why some men like lesbian sex, being one of them. It's just a whole pile of ladies, no hairy arsed men getting in the way!

Wow, thats a pretty arsed up theory ya got there buddy.

See where as I find genitalia in general helarious haha look at it go!

Actually, I quite like the hairy ones, not too hairy obviously. I'm not keen on the new Brazilian trend, it's a bit paedophilic in my opinion.

This conversation got immature fast. O.o

Straight as a pole. I just love women so Goddamn much, their personality, their allure, their bodies. So I don't see myself as anything but a straight shooter, sorry guys.

Bi-curious to bi-sexual. I can't help it when a gay guy starts coming on to me. They are sexy.

The lesbians of the world shall rise!...and all move to my nationstate!

My voice is so deep
I take it you've never met a guy who would be attracted to that sort of thing?

the poll tells me that 23 people should get out of here and rethink their lives.

Heterosexual, straight is a gays term.

If everyone's being honest, NationStates is much gayer than the population at large. Either that, or the proportion of homo- and bisexuals is higher than we expected, although I doubt that because internet polls only represent the small proportion of people who frequent... internet polls.

Quite a few, actually.

Funny this poll tells me that 125 people need to be more honest with themselves :p

Nahhhhhhhh....

Penises aren't at all attractive. (http://www.riurologicalspecialties.com/riusanat.gif) I mean, seriously...who or what the hell came up with that idea? If there is a God, she/he/it has a pretty odd sense of humor.

I mean...whatever floats your boat, but I don't think I could ever look at a dick and get turned on.

Nonsexual. With no aversion to males or females as romantic interests, though I've only met a girl I might consider spending the rest of my life with.

Straight as an arrow...

Sadly :(

Straight. Could never be gay. Wouldn't let myself (I have very strong willpower on some matters).

Bisexual

All you would do is make yourself unhappy … you would still be gay or bi just would not express it

No amount of will power will change that … would only repress it

Sweetie Darling! So gay. Lesbo-licious

Oh, but I do. I really, really do. :D

Now a deeper question...does sex determine sexuallity? I've had guys in my stupid youth, but I don't consider myself bi or straight.......

Chances are that the proportion of bisexual people is much larger than most people think. This is because bisexual isn't an all or nothing thing, nor is it necessarily a 50-50 thing.

Sexuality existing along a spectrum, even with a biphasic distribution, you would expect quite a few that weren't 100% either way.

Straight as an arrow...

Sadly :(


Brother, dont be sad cause' your straight. I 'm straight, happy with it. What i cant understand with some other people is not being able to make up your mind about it.

Ok...

It's just i'd more likly to score if I was Bi...

Nevermind... I just can't see myself with another man *Shudders for several minutes*

What i cant understand with some other people is not being able to make up your mind about it.

Sexuality is not something you "make up your mind about".

When exactly did you "make up your mind" to be heterosexual? Or did you just figure out that you were?

The same goes for homosexuals or bisexuals. You are attracted to who you are attracted to. "Make up your mind" has nothing to do with it.

Believe it or not, been there already! Lol!
It was my mate Dan, and he is gay. He slipped and got his toe caught it the plug hole. I ended up having to crouch down beside him and use shower gel to loosten it. It was quite funny! :D
It sounds like a cheesy comedy movie scene.

I'm bi in that I'm sexually attracted to guys and gals, but I made a personal decision last year to only date females, as I want to have a family some day.

Some would say that makes me not bi, but I do desire sex with a sexy skinny goth guy or a sexy longhaired skater guy.....

I'm one of those creepy asexuals.

I have no urge to actually have sex. Ever. None whatsoever. I'm vaguely heterosexual as I'd rather look at a picture of a naked guy... But where it matters? Nope. Nothing.

Which is kind of sad. And hard to explain. And very annoying around all my teenage!hormone!sex-fiend friends.

I feel for you, I am asexual also, but no one seems to know such a thing exists. Everyone thinks I am gay and scared to come out of the closet. They point out guys and encourage me to hit on them...it drives me nuts!

Straight

Definately lesbian...although too lazy to date o.O Eh, one day I'll get off my lazy arse and hit on some pretty girl. hehe

As of right now, Bi-curious. Never had any sexual experiences with other males or females, but am attracted to both. Lol actually, I think I may have GID (Gender Identity Disorder) Yup...don't really like bein male...in fact I hate it, and yeah...goin into a whole life story now :headbang:

Isn't GID more along the lines of someone actually believing they are the opposite gender? I thought transgender was if someone just felt like/wanted to be the opposite gender.. too many classifications, way too confusing.

Actually to be honest, I don't really know the complete list of "symptoms" but from what I heard it was an intense hatred of a person's own gender and attraction sexually to their own...but when I said GID I actually kinda meant it in a joking way...seriously though, I may become TG, who knows

Asexual

I am a heterosexual male who is asexual and loving it.

I simply have no interest in or desire for sex, and most likely never will. I think of sex as time being wasted from more important things in my life.

(It might change if I find the right woman.)

How can a man be gay? yeech millions of beautiful women in the world, and these guys... shudder of revulsion, come to think of it women must think there pretty hard done by sometimes.
Women are cleaner, smell alot better, arent covered in hair, dont sweat, have nicer looking bodies,how could a guy pass that up for another man, sick!

There are millions of beautiful men too :rolleyes:

There are millions of beautiful men too :rolleyes:
I second that!

Hetro male, but kinda bicurious.

I am most definately lesbian, though I'm intellectually attracted to men like Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry but I'd never-ever want to have any sort of sex with them. I'm definately one for the women.

I'm straight leaning towards bi (but mostly straight)

bi! W00t!

though I'm intellectually attracted to men like Neil Gaiman ... I'd never-ever want to have any sort of sex with them.
Mmmm... i might. ;)

Actually no, i'd think about it but chicken out if the chance actually came up.

There are millions of beautiful men too :rolleyes:

And billions of ugly sweaty smelly ones.
Women have been given a raw deal.

i am definatly bi nad if you have a problem with it TOUGH!

Mmmm... i might. ;)

Actually no, i'd think about it but chicken out if the chance actually came up.

yeah, I can imagine getting so far and just freaking out. But Steven's gay&Neil is married so I doubt it will ever come up XD

Not all women :p

I don't really understand why some men like to see that, I have nothing against gay people but that doesn't mean I have to like to watch it.

Jeff from "Coupling" explained this pretty well. See, lesbians are more porn efficient, as lesbian porn has a higher density of women. Lesbian porn is like a jam sandwich without the sandwich, just the jam. In fact, lesbians are really just a big blob of jam. Well not really...

Unless they've exploded in all the lesssbonic excitment!

Football is my favorite sport to watch on TV. Why? Just imagine the exact same thing except everyone on the field has no clothes on. Mmmm... yummy... :fluffle: :fluffle: :p

Yeah, that's the reason I can't watch women's sports. I tried watching women's basketball once, but I couldn't concentrate because I kept imagining the players showering together after the game.

Oh, and regarding the actual topic: I'm bisexual.

Women are cleaner, smell alot better, arent covered in hair, dont sweat, have nicer looking bodies,how could a guy pass that up for another man, sick!

You obviously haven't been to Houston.

Hetero.

Just awful with women... :(

What are you?
Frankly, I think the labels are too strict. Sexuality has a wider range than: straight, homosexual, bisexual and asexual. What about people who are MOSTLY straight...they aren't homosexual, and they aren't bisexual...and people who are MOSTLY homosexual etc....This need to say, I am this, I am that...doesn't leave much wiggle room and I think when people get those 'naughty other thoughts', once they've already definitively categorised themselves, they just start wondering..."am I actually this other thing?"

What about people who are MOSTLY straight...they aren't homosexual, and they aren't bisexual...and people who are MOSTLY homosexual etc...

Bisexuality has degrees. For example I'm "mostly straight", but I still identify myself as bi, because now and then I am attracted to men. You're right that sexuality isn't a switch with three positions, but bisexuality neatly covers the entire area between straight and gay.

Some of the most gay people I know are the straight people at the place I work. Imagine that.
And I know plenty of homosexuals.

I don't know...bi suggest to me an equal division of attraction. I'd classify myself as MOSTLY hetero...because the division of attraction is not straight (haha) down the middle, and I couldn't see myself in a long term relationship with a woman. So, I like women too...but I'm not bi.

bi suggest to me an equal division of attraction.

I've heard this too, and I have to say it's complete and utter crap. There's probably no such thing as a bi who makes absolutely no distinction between genders. Some are near the centre of the scale, others are more straight and still others are more gay.

I don't know...bi suggest to me an equal division of attraction.
One of my female friends classifies herself as bisexual but points out whenever it comes up that it's a 80:20 split in favour of women.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, many of my straight AND gay friends have a pretty low opinion of bis...like they are just 'sexual opportunists' who sleep with anything. Actually, I have to admit that it is generally the gay friends who are hardest on bis. I suppose that is why I'm making the distinction.

One of my female friends classifies herself as bisexual but points out whenever it comes up that it's a 80:20 split in favour of women.
Whereas I'm more an 80:20 in favour of men. See how different that term is for her, compared to for me? Perhaps we should keep the percentages..."so yeah, I'm 75% homosexual" or "well, I'm 80% straight...". :D I just think that if people stopped being so concerned with "either you're straight, gay or right in the middle", and realised that few people are completly one way, we'd all be happier. I think the same about gender too...more exists in this world than just female, male, and intersexed...

Asexual and surrounded by pervs.

Exactly I am about 80 percent strait myself … I wonder what “level” you have to be at to be bi :p

Intresting tread (tag for possible opperunitys LMAO)

Perhaps we should keep the percentages..."so yeah, I'm 75% homosexual" or "well, I'm 80% straight...". :D

We already have the Kinsey's scale, in which people are ranked with numbers from 0 to 6. 0 is totally straight, 6 totally gay, 3 the "fifty-fifty" bi. For example, I'm probably 1 on the Kinsey.

I'm a 6, but then again I'm young... could be a 5 and not know it yet.
The scale was made in the 40s and 50s, shouldn't they update it or somethig.

Oh and for people who would like to use this scale...
0 - exclusively heterosexual

1 - predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homoexual

2 - predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual

3 - equally heterosexual and homosexual

4 - predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual

5 - predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual

6 - exclusively homosexual

Kinsey's researchers found that over a three-year period:

4 - 6% of men were rated as "6"

10 % of men were rated 4, 5, or 6

18% of men were rated as 3, 4, 5, or 6

37% of all men experienced orgasm in a sexual activity with another man at some time in their life.

60% of all men had some type of homosexual relationship before they were age 16.

30% of all men had some type of homosexual relationship between age 20 - 24.

Ranks for women were about one-half that of men (exact percentages were not provided by Kinsey). Keep in mind, this research was conducted as a time of lower sexual activity for women than recent surveys have indicated.

Not all women :p

True, but at least their women.

What are you?
The title of your thread is an example of one of my biggest pet peeves. Human sexuality is not black and white. It's a continuum, with some people tending toward different ends and most people distributed somewhere in the middle. Virtually no primate individual will be ALL gay or ALL straight.

Straight!

Yeah :sniper:

I'm a 6, but then again I'm young... could be a 5 and not know it yet.
The scale was made in the 40s and 50s, shouldn't they update it or somethig.

Oh and for people who would like to use this scale...
0 - exclusively heterosexual

1 - predominantly heterosexual, incidentally homoexual

2 - predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual

3 - equally heterosexual and homosexual

4 - predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual

5 - predominantly homosexual, incidentally heterosexual

6 - exclusively homosexual

im about a 4.5 then.

homosexual

i'd say i'm straight.. but on that number scale... i'd probably be 1, possibly 2... but for some reason i don't feel ashamed although people always pound in that being gay is wrong... but whatever. i think it's weird if you're only gay... but if you're a little of both, i guess thats fine. i'm definately more on the straight side though.

i think i might be bi, but maybe that's because i go to an all girls school, and i don't have much choice, but there is a girl i like.

be happy, you are the first and only people i have told(and probably ever will).

awwww, it's not good to bottle things up. you might blow up :eek: . share your secret with the world!

Aside: what are hermafrodytes and transgendered people supposed to vote :P ?[/QUOTE]

Hermafrodytes is an out of date term. Intersexed is the new term being used

Mostly str8, but I've been known to swing when I've been drinking. :fluffle:

It's possible for a hemaphrodite or transexual to be homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual or asexual. They're only a little different physically, and I hardly think that's significant to their preferences.

I agree with No-namia. Also, there are a lot of "intersex" conditions around, and a lot of intersex people pass as normal and ID as either male or female, not intersex.

For example, genetic males with AIS (androgen insensitivity syndrome) are phenotypically female (although sterile) and almost always ID as female (I've never heard of any who IDd as male). Women with CAH (congenital adrenal hyperplasia) usually ID as female, indeed some get very offended at the condition being called intersex at all, although without treatment some genetic women with CAH have ended up looking physically more male than female, and some have masculine gender identities. I could list other examples.

Gender identity and sexuality are complicated things. Which is why it's almost always best to let people figure out how to define themselves, rather than imposing unnecessary lables and making assumptions. If a mtf who is attracted to women wants to be called a dyke, far be it for me to say who they can and can't be. I know far too little about how they feel to make any judgement.

Having said that, I do think this poll could use an "other" option.

Women dont sweat
what are you smoking?

Yeah :sniper:
Hmmm... from my impression of you, we probably wouldn't agree on a lot of things! Straight I am, but also have absolute tolerance and support for gays and bis.

I'm about a one. Although most of the people I know think I'm gay. Even the one's who know I have a girlfriend think I'm gay. Go figure.

How can a man be gay? ...
Women are cleaner, smell alot better, arent covered in hair, dont sweat, have nicer looking bodies,how could a guy pass that up for another man, sick!
This is so subjective, but you imagine your judgement to be objective. Not all women are cleaner than all men. What smells are objectively "better"? What is objectively wrong with hair? What is objectively wrong with sweat? What is a nicer looking body?

I'm a 62 year old lesbian woman in the body of a 17 year old boy.

How can a man be gay? yeech millions of beautiful women in the world, and these guys... shudder of revulsion, come to think of it women must think there pretty hard done by sometimes.

in that case, how can a woman be straight?

Theres no question that women have nicer looking bodies.
Its just a fact, yeah you get your elephants, and stickgirls, but even they have nicer bodies than the average guy.
Whats wrong with sweat? Nothing, without it you would combust from your own body heat, but er in case you didnt know, when it dries it smells.
And men sweat a hell of alot more than women.

in that case, how can a woman be straight?
By not being gay. ever.

Straight.

I know I love men, and I also find women attractive.

I'm not completely sure of my bisexuality, though, because I'm not sure I would like the idea of having (oral) sex with a woman...

I think I may just be straight.

I'm bi-curious. I'm totally into guys, but if a girl was hot enough...well...

I'm gay. I can honestly say I have no sexual attraction toward females.

...Exactly what are you basing that off of? As if you could compare a composite average body of a male and a female and say,"Yep, women's bodies are 27.8% 'nicer looking'".

Well, guys have a strange and out of place-looking hose sticking out of them...That really detracts from their aesthetic smoothness. But then again women have those weird-ass lumps that are disconcertingly remniscent of tumors...Hmm.

The bodys are generally more graceful and pleasant to the eye than a mans, good enough for me.
Why do you think a mans penis is out of place?
Its logically in the best place for intercourse.

Well, the thing just comes out of nowhere. And what with all that hair...just strange. Of course, I am trying to look at this from an aesthetic, asexual, non-human-influenced point of view.

I think it would be best to be asexual. You could concentrate on the important issues and not get into all that trouble.

Mostly straight, though I'd rather be completely bi. There are some guys though (one in particular) that just- Make me go a little loopy. He's just so... smooth... and... /drools on the floor.
