I'm a lesbian and I get this a lot too. It's usually when I state my porn preference. I exclusively watch guy on guy porn because I think it's more realistic. I've had people tell me that I'm definitely attracted to men in some way. That's not true at all. The thought of being with a man grosses me out.
People also frown when I tell them that I think a male celebrity looks "hot". I may not be attracted to them but I can still acknowledge that they look attractive.
Ok but it's society to ask if they have a relationship with the opposite sex. They generally don't get offended either. Im fairly respectful and don't tell people what sexuality they are.
I think people make too big a deal out of sexuality.
If someone says they're gay and you see them with a person of the opposite sex, are you going to sue them? It's a non issue... you like who you like whether they're this or that.
I agree with the take but one thing I get confused by is when I go on okcupid and see people who identify as pansexual, sapio sexual, gender queer, etc. Like what do those mean?
at what point did i say i ogle at female bodies? you have completely got the wrong end of the stick. women just know when we see a great female body. let's look at this rationally. female bodies are more aesthetically pleasing to the majority of people because: - they often have curves - they don't have an ugly penis (even most straight girls can't deny penises are ugly) - they are often shaven and smooth which is more pleasant to look at than a hairy male body
Wow, sounds like someone likes women's bodies quite a bit. I was just winding you up because you mentioned there was a guy who aggressively imposed the possibility that you're lesbian upon him but now you're making a genuine case for his opinions being within dangerous touching distance of the truth.
The very fact that you wrote this sort of proves you felt a need to prove it to people gathering supportive complements. I don't get the impression you're self convinced

the only reason i included that bit was to show where my thought process had stemmed from. who am i proving it to if i'm anon? i know who i am and that's the entire point of the take. plus, i am mainly talking about the wider implications here.. or did you stop reading after the first paragraph? wouldn't surprise me
I would say it's nothing to be proud of, only because asexuality is basically like being colorless. Not black, or white, or grey, just colorless. But I don't see a problem with him being proud to admit that on a personal level and not be afraid of it.

why would guys disagree with this? or not like it if a girl wants to look at other women? what bothers them so much?

Pansexuality is pretty much the same thing as bisexuality. It means that you can be sexually attracted to any gender, with any gender identification.
As for the rest i have no clue
Lol..
I can't assume people r straight these days after reading weird shit in here.
Whether a person is homosexual or heterosexual, a human is still a human. The only thing that they shohld be judged by is their character.
sure , i am very open minded on this , whether he/she want so sleep with men/women/transgender/animal/plants/etc i think it is totally their business
Some people are purely in denial about their sexuality though.
It also must be said that enjoying ogleing hot female bodies is pretty lesbian.
Nope. Women are a lot more open about admitting each others hotness than men are. There is nothing by about it. (Unless of course there is)
@BaileyisDarcy Yeah but that's only because men don't actually find each other hot unless they're gay.
One could only assume the same for women since finding someone of the same sex hot is pretty much what homodexuality is at it's core.

Maybe you are in denial. Just saying.

I like how we're supposed to fool ourselves into thinking reproduction does not matter.
irrelevant. this isn't a debate about whether homosexuality is morally/biologically/socially right
ye'ssam.

I am proud to be asexsual
Oh gawd. You're sixteen why do you have a hammer and sickle as your pic?
That is nothing to be proud of, though.
@Mesonfielde why

@RandomUsername3464 there's just nothing to be proud of about what you supposedly "are" naturally
I mean really, am I proud of having two arms, or being male? Not really, I had nothing to do with that.
