Androgynes - your sexual orientation?

[emmi/andy]

I voted for "female bodied and bisexual." I identify as pansexual, but I usually lean toward girls. I find all kinds of bodies attractive, but I tend to be more attracted to women, especially androgynous or masculine women with strong personalities.

[shawnael]

We're female bodied. Kerry likes men, Kenny likes women.

I suppose technically I'm bisexual, but I don't really feel right saying it. I usually just say we're straight to the extreme.

about the veggie thing... I've never had sexual relations with said object.

Once i get real breasts, i'll probably never leave the house.

      I did not have sexual relations with that potato.  All I did was buy it dinner and suckle on it for a bit. 

All we really want to know is - Was a cigar involved?

At first, but then it backed out claiming it had to get to work.

Pansexuality is the sexual preference of those who are attracted to others for reasons that don't involve one's sex.

That pansexual thing sounds like me.  I tend to be attracted to people for reasons that don't involve their physical sex.

   What you do to french fries makes you a 'masher' for sure.

haha, elaboration required. k umm

female bodied, and bi is i guess the closest...i cant say i have much experience with any sex, but i'm definitely attracted to both/neither/all of the above/no one can tell xD. and definitely not asexual, unless you define it as 'not having any particular attraction'....i dont have a type per se, i dont think. i do like those that blur gender lines though, looks wise 

yah i guess thats elaborated o.O

Can I elaborate without voting?

After a bit of self-study I've got to the conclusion that it's just not that simple. With respect to sex as a physical act for pleasure, I'm more or less bisexual, although the idea of male homosexuality doesn't normally turn me on very much.

However, with respect to sex as the ultimate form of intimacy I'm pretty thoroughly heterosexual. Since I'm anatomically male that means having a female partner; however, I'd really prefer to be anatomically female, and if I were, I'm pretty sure I'd switch to preferring men. Then again, at the moment my relationship with my wife, including the ability to occasionally go beyond cuddling, is more important to me than having my body match my image of what it should be like. Still, while it's better intimacy-wise to consider the thing between my legs as my penis, from the point of view of actually getting an orgasm it's much more effective to think of it as a strap-on.

Considering all this, I'm pretty much of the opinion that concepts like gender identity, sex, and sexual orientation are pretty hard to define. But then, we all knew that.

That's really interesting, Nfr.
Why do you think you prefer a female lover now, but if you switched to a female body, you'd prefer a male one?

[Seshatneferw]

Introspection, observations about my feelings during the act, and experimental masturbation.

(Yes, I did it in the name of science. Still had to shave my palms.  )

I am female bodied and attracted to men

I can't work out if my feeling of androgeny is inherent or something society has pushed onto me

When I was at school  refused to even wear a tie as I said it was what boys wore, so I was very aware of gender roles and wanted to adhere to my own one very strictly

I am constantly made to feel I dont adhere to a sufficient level of femininity by other people though and get fed up of it

I veer between not caring and feeling pushed into a role I don't want by default

I don't think I'm sexually attracted to women as I don't tend to get on with them but I have this feeling in the back of my mind that a lot of this is fear and repression.  When I was a teenager, I went through a phase where I was scared to death that I might be gay as I kept thinking about a girl at school - it seemed like the worst thing in the world but it wasn't a sexual thing, more a panic thing ie I was thinking 'Why do I keep thinkign about this girl, I don't even know her, oh God perhaps I'm gay!' and this meant I couldnt stop thinking about her - like an involuntary obsession causd by anxiety.  It passed though, and of course as an adult I can see how ridiculous it was to be so scared as being gay is something you either are or aren't and certainly not a bad thing.

There was another girl I think I had a crush on - she had a haircut a bit like David Bowie's and I think it was because she looked a bit masculine that was part of the appeal.

I have always been interested in gay culture though; I don't feel I'd fit into it but I am an interested observer of it

I feel I think a lot more like a man than a woman and when I mix with women they make me feel I dont' fit in properly

I think I can appreciate when a woman is attractive but I wouldn't want to have sex with a woman as I don't tend to even like most of them.  When a bf has an overdeveloped chest area eg so it feels and looks a bit like female breasts I deliverately avoid touching them as it reminds me of female breasts too much

I once had an experience that made me feel very uncomfortable when this woman Dr was examining my chest for a health checkup - we both looked at each other and I was very worried about what she was thinking as it seemed very scary the way she looked at me - I couldn't interpret it.

I don;t know as a biological male I do love women yeah but some guys are attractive too but I don;t think I could ever go out with a guy or have sex with one: its just too weird for me.

I am male-bodied and I like women.
I have a funny story about how I came to this knowledge but I'm saving it.

But as for love - I feel that you can fall in love with any human soul you find.

Please tell?   

[Lukas-H]

Edit- I am female-bodied.

I have found that I can be attracted to almost any kind of body. I am attracted mostly to males, but I also have found strong attractions to females (mostly of the masculine or at least non-feminine type) and masculine FtMs.

However, for love, I believe that you can fall in love with any soul, like Pica said.

I am male bodied and am attracted to women.  I have been in a long term monogamous relationship.

It is interesting to note that a majority (12 of 22 respondents) indicate that they are bisexual.  Should this be at all surprising, given that we identify as androgynous?  Even though gender identity is not the same thing as sexual preference, it is interesting to note the relationship between the two.

I'm not certain, but I think that some of the more specific forms of androgyne, such as neutrois, include bisexuality as part of the condition.

another poll, my dearies?

I'm male-bodied and am bi-sexual.  I would say that I'm attracted to femininity more than masculinity, although the combination of certain masculine traits does make my heart race as much as a beautiful woman does!  I must say, though, that my best erotic experiences have been with transgendered people.

For my own two cents, I think sexuality for most of the population is more ambiguous than gender is.

[Warumono]

I think I'm androgysexual  as in, only attracted to people who are androgynous looking/acting.

Physically I think I may prefer male bodies...?

It doesn't matter to me that much but I'm not a big fan of breasts.

I chose the bisexual option anyway. In my opinion all bisexual people should also be 'pansexual'. If you're attracted to both masculine and feminine traits and bodies then surely transgendered people are ideal for you anyway   .

I don't remember having ever read that one.  The closest I can think is that one site used to say that androgynes were more likely to be attracted to other androgynes.  If you can figure out where you saw that, I'd be interested in reading it.

   I was wrong.  Apparently they can be anything.  I was remembering an old post the wrong way.

Sorry.  I was correcting my wrong post at the same time you were posting.  It reads differently now.  I was wrong.
