Taako_Tuesday ( @Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca ) English7•2 years agoI’ve got a nonbinary friend who presents somewhat feminine, and they always say that anyone who finds them attractive is gay by default. So I guess what I’m saying is I’m not totally straight
crystal ( @crystal@feddit.de ) English3•2 years agoWouldn’t finding an nb person attractive be hetero attraction? Since they’re of a different gender?
Taako_Tuesday ( @Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca ) English3•2 years agoI guess it depends how you define it, i feel like most people define hetero as being exclusively attracted to people of the opposite sex than you
Squirrel ( @Squirrel@thelemmy.club ) English4•2 years agoThey’re using the (Greek-derived) scientific definition of “hetero” (i.e. different) vs “homo” (i.e. same). By those definitions, any cisgender + non-binary pairing would technically be heterosexual.
cnnrduncan ( @cnnrduncan@beehaw.org ) English2•2 years agoYeah I define myself as heterosexual cos I’m not attracted to people of the same gender as me. I’m not non-binary so being attracted to/sleeping with an enby person is not gay, at least according to how I define my own sexuality.
Aesthesiaphilia ( @Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social ) 6•2 years agoI like boobs and pussy
That’s the definition of “straight guy” right?
chumbalumber ( @chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 9•2 years agoNot if you’re a woman. Or if the boobs/pussy belong to a dude
Aesthesiaphilia ( @Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social ) 3•2 years agoI always figured straight or gay is related to sex, not gender. So a pre-transition trans man or a post-transition trans woman would count
Lexi Sneptaur ( @Sneptaur@pawb.social ) English4•2 years agoWould you date a trans guy
Aesthesiaphilia ( @Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social ) 12•2 years agopre-transition? Sure
I don’t like dicks though
And it would probably be difficult with me going “I love your boobs” and they’re always like “I hate my boobs”
Lexi Sneptaur ( @Sneptaur@pawb.social ) 6•2 years agoThat’s so strange. You’re just attracted to people’s body parts?
Aesthesiaphilia ( @Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social ) 12•2 years agoThat’s how it works for the vast majority of people.
Not like personality doesn’t play a role. But certain body part combinations are a requirement.
Lexi Sneptaur ( @Sneptaur@pawb.social ) 4•2 years agoPretty weird
SirElliott ( @SirElliott@beehaw.org ) 10•2 years agoIs their preference really any more arbitrary than the preferences sapiosexuals or demisexuals have? It sounds like they probably have other traits that may make someone more or less attractive, they just have a minimum requirement for a certain body form for them to begin having attraction. That isn’t so different when compared to a sapiosexual who requires a high intellect before they can begin being more or less attracted based on other traits.
TL;DR: All preferences are weird, no need to call anyone out on their specific ones :)
Nyla Smokeyface ( @Nyla_Smokeyface@beehaw.org ) English2•2 years agoSmall clarification: Demisexuality isn’t a preference. They don’t feel any sexual attraction before an emotional connection is formed.
TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English2•2 years agoNot OP, and not disagreeing with you, but I think it’s also fair to point out that “having boobs and a vagina” isn’t always preference for straight people either.
Some people are just hardwired to not feel sexual attraction unless the other person fits their needs, I think? Just like how most gay men don’t feel sexual attraction to the aforementioned qualities.
SirElliott ( @SirElliott@beehaw.org ) English2•2 years agoYou’re absolutely right, I inadvertently worded that as if I was reducing those sexual orientations down to being a preference like for a certain hair color. I should have said they have a requirement before sexual attraction can develop.

Lexi Sneptaur ( @Sneptaur@pawb.social ) 4•2 years agoI come from the planet of the ace, where nobody has sex and the masturbation doesn’t matter

My ex really loved that song and thought it was so deep. She’d say shit like “I just love how he doesn’t have a type you know? Like if your bad it doesn’t matter” but I was just confused because a bad bitch is a type. And it wasn’t her.
Squirrel ( @Squirrel@thelemmy.club ) English1•2 years agoYes.
