Yes this thread is about sexuality. We will be discussing these three kinds (basically the ones that people are most familiar with):

Heterosexuality - Sexual attraction to the opposite gender.
Bisexuality - Sexual attraction to both genders.
Homosexuality - Sexual attraction to the same gender.

Please do not be insulting in your wording. This mainly goes for the way some people talk about and view homosexuality. I do not care if you're completely against it, do not be insulting in your wording. Explain yourself instead of being rude.

My view on all three is that they are completely natural. All three serve a purpose. Heterosexuality promotes reproduction, homosexuality helps control the population to slow down and/or prevent overpopulation, and bisexuality can promote either. Sexuality is not a choice, aside from what some people claim. You cannot change what you are attracted to. You are what you are.

Not much of an opening post, but I wanted to make sure that people actually bother to read it, so I gave more of a summary. I'll wait for people who disagree with my views to come along and post so that I may argue my own points further.

On the bisexual thing- In my opinion, it is not a case of, "I'll be bi so I get more sex"

There is a spectrum of hetero <------> bi <------> homo, and it is really like a probability chart.
Let's say there is a man who is bi, mostly hetero. They would be more likely that there chosen partner is female, but there is also a small chance they'll have a male partner.
If said man had five relationships over the course of several years, chances are most of them would be women (3-4), but a couple of men also (1-2).

I think that explains my situation fairly well. XD

I normally label myself 'lesbian', just to cut down on the confusion, but I'm more bisexual (or pansexual, but that isn't too much the issue here). When I say 'bisexual', I find a lot of guys drooling over me and saying, "Can I watch you with another girl?" Besides being immature, it's very disrespectful. 'Bisexual' does not automatically mean 'loose' and the tendency of some people's thoughts to infer that is a bit annoying. I also find, labeling myself as 'lesbian' gets a lot of "yeah, righttttt" type reactions. I don't really know why the people I meet tend to do that.

At any rate, I am a bisexual, technically. I prefer female partners and the majority of the people I have dated (short and long term) have been female, though I have dated some males. I am not attracted specifically more to males or females, in a physical sense. There are attributes of both sexes I find appealing. And, it is not that I like both 'masculine' females and males or both 'feminine' males and females. I prefer fairly 'masculine' males (strong build, ect.) and 'feminine' females. I tend toward relationships with females, I think, purely for reasons of personality.

I find, when I look at everyone I have dated (male and female), I find certain personality traits I like. I find that they all are, in some ways, alike. However, the caring, gentleness, companionship, and sensitivity that I seek out is generally easier to find among females than it is males, which may account for my preference. I go into a relationship looking for something lasting, that would be stable and possibly permanent and many males don't quite seem to view things this way.

Being honest, though, it takes a great deal to make me want to be in a relationship with a male. He has to be amazing. My standards for females (sad to say XD ) are somewhat more flexible. I really couldn't tell you why that is. XD Except perhaps I have more female friends and get to know more females, and a person's personality is the main drawing factor for me. Perhaps it is because girls are more emotionally open and affectionate. One, all, none of these reasons, maybe? Not that figuring it out really matters to me at this point in my life. I was open to all possibilities (genders, races) and I let myself like who I would and I just happened to find love with a female that I can foresee lasting a lifetime. Chance, fate, whatever you call it.
