I've been attracted to men before. Sometimes in an envious way wishing I could look like them, or just like admiration or acknowledging that they're handsome, but I guess it's a physical attraction just the same. I can't honestly say I've seen a guy and felt any desire to be with them, have sex or anything though, but then I'm just madly in love with Mon and can't think of anything else most of the time, man or woman. I tend not to even think about the orientation issue, which I why I'll just as likely flirt with man or woman here.

I never had a gf or bf growing up, was pretty non-sexual as a teen in that I didn't really have sexual feelings for anybody until pretty late on. I was a bit of a non-entity as far as relationships and went under the radar at school. I was a bit of a loner and really didn't think about sex until I was e-mailing Mon and we were getting closer and it dawned on me that if we hooked up when I came back to Thailand that I'd have sex with her. That was when I was 19. I consequently fell in love so that was that. I don't think it's impossible under certain circumstances that I could have been in a relationship with a guy at some point if it'd happened when I was 19, 20, 21 and I'd met the right person who happened to be a guy. It just turns out that I met Mon and knew I wanted to be with her and nobody else. She's a woman, therefore I'm straight.

I wonder if that makes any sense.

that makes nathan lane blush...(get the joke?)

Fauxie said:

it does. i never thought of girls sexually at all until i was about 17, and dated guys before then.

evenstar said:

Laurel, when I finally do make it out to a Cali invasion, please please please makeout with Muse for me.

Imago said:

okay, as long as you and nick take lots of cuddly pics for the org when you're in thailand.

Well, I'm not gay. But I dated a woman who, I suspect, was grappling with her feelings for/attraction to other women (based on comments she made from time to time, as well as a hunch I have). I didn't get it at the time, not until some time after we broke up, that she probably was a lesbian. I keep meaning to e-mail her...

Calligraphy said:

Maybe you turned her off to men.

You know I will try my best.

isn't that always a fear? as a man?

ZombieKitten said:

That depends -- are you speaking as a man?

Calligraphy said:

I am asking you - are you a man?

ZombieKitten said:

Indubitably.

Is it a fear? No. I think these times make us men more aware, though, of the potential breadth of a woman's range of attraction.

Well, I find that if a woman develops a keen interest in me, she has specialized tastes anyways.
