who cares in the nudists world should not be an issue, we just naked should not be a topic here!!!!
So the category is sexuality. This is a discussion of language use in the community and in others like it. Where would you put this discussion? And if this isn't in the right place what should be here?
I assure you that issues big and small permeate all aspects of life including nudism and the homophobia in some sectors is frankly rabid. I'm pleased with this community of great people who generally care. I do too. It's not a pick up or a wank topic. Language use.
I'm not going to get into too much of a battle to defend the existence of my sexual identity, but I will share a few points:
1. My sexual identity is NOT determined by whom I'm in a relationship with. That's ludicrous. Its not that we're having "bi sex". He's gay. I'm bi. We just call it sex. He's not more gay nor am I less bi for it.
2. Bi = Sexual attraction for 2 or more genders. Pan = Gender is irrelevant. You can be a bi person that likes men and women, sure, but there are more than just binary genders out there (quite frankly, whether you accept that or not)
3. Please do some research on the subject before hip firing on a subject of someone's literal identity. Erasure is not cool.
Have a good one.
Sometimes I enjoy kiwi, and sometimes I enjoy mixed berries, however, sometimes I combine them all and call it fruit salad!
As some of the other responses mentioned, it makes more sense for one to refer to themself as bi-sexual when there are at least two people of the same sex engaging sexually with each other along with at least one person of the opposite sex in the moment. Otherwise, sex is more likely considered to be hetero or homo.
I prefer to keep it very simple as a being who is ...sexual, although that might harbor too much mystery for some folks who like to keep sexuality in neatly wrapped boxes.
I agree with nudistdad: "I do believe that it's getting to the silly stage with multiple choice descriptive classifications."
It's a bit like the artificial construct of ethnicity. If I like eating pizza, does that make me Italian? How long has the term bisexual even existed? Not very long. The term homosexual didn't come into being until the 1860's at the dawn of the industrial revolution and a blink in the history of humankind. It's not that homosexuality didn't exist until then, but the shift came in viewing it as an identity rather than just a behavior. It's kind of like being right dominant. I'm not very fluid with my left hand, but if my right hand is not available I wipe my ass with my left hand, I don't consider it an identify shift.
I believe in only one sexuality for men: masculine. I believe that mankind's and especially men's greatest gift to survive and evolve is based on adaptabilty to changing environments. That's why I don't give the sexual spectrum much credence. It's more a sexual matrix where sexuality is defined by biology, relationship and bonding. I see homosexuality as natural and a societal need that men without children contribute to the survival of a tribe. The labels we use today may help us develop authenticity, and they certainly help others to categorize us, but I don't think they help me personally.
So sexual prefixing is getting silly. I love the sun on my naked body but don't need to come out as solarsexual. However, I honor others' identities as they wish. If someone has sex with a man and a woman, calling it bisexual or good at multitasking is their call.
In regards to gender orientation, I'm evolving to accept and honor however a person chooses to define theirs. Is it a threat to my children or society if someone enters the "other" bathroom? Well, it's a bigger threat if they have to shit and piss all over, either figuratively or literally.
Human sexuality is a beautiful, unique gift and each sexual fingerprint is different from the rest. If we survive as a species without aging out or killing each other, it's serving its purpose, isn't it?
