ayways in other to satisfy the lazy readers i have come up with the following: what is sexual orientation? Sexual orientation is the preponderance of one’s emotional and physical attractions — whether stable or fluid — to males, females, both, or neither.“Preponderance” means “the weight of the evidence.” The evidence that points to the truth about your sexual orientation is rooted in your attractions — both emotional and physical — to other people. myths about sexual orientation 1. a person is either straight or gay this is easy to comphrend, most people think this way and they tend to forget that there are other forms of sexual orientation like bisexuality, asexuality, pansexuality etc. When it comes to sexual orientation, many people are neither 100% straight nor 100% gay. Indeed, recent research indicates that, when given the option, many males and females would describe themselves as “mostly straight” rather than “straight.” 2. Everyone who claims to be bisexual is in denial about being gay. Another myth that both gays and straight people believe. So, although it is true that some people who claim to be bisexual are not yet ready to acknowledge that they are gay or lesbian, it is certainly not true that everyone who claims to be bisexual is in denial about being gay. Bisexuality really exists. 3.A bisexual person is equally attracted to both men and women. This is false has we have different categories of bisexuals *“Heterosexual-leaning” bisexuals consistently experience greater emotional and physical attractions for people of the other sex. *“Homosexual-leaning” bisexuals consistently experience greater emotional and physical attractions for people of their own sex. *"Varied type" bisexuals consistently experience greater emotional attractions for one sex and great physical attractions for the other sex. (See Myth #4) 4.A person’s emotional and physical attractions should be congruent. Emotional and physical attractions are congruent for many people, but not for everyone. (By “congruent,” I mean that emotional and physical attractions are both directed toward men, or toward women, or toward both.) Despite the tendency for people to experience congruence between their emotional and physical attractions, some people experience stronger (or exclusive) emotional attractions for men and stronger (or exclusive) physical attractions for women. Or vice versa. This is the “varied type” of bisexual experience noted in the discussion of Myth #3. 5.Gender is the basis of everyone's sexual orientation i have tried @ flawles and ptomz. please read the other points thanks |

Interesting article. Preponderance of attraction.... Attraction is different from admiration. I admire other women physically when I see what I like. But, not necessarily attracted emotionally or physically or otherwise. I recently had a yoga teacher "feel me up" during yoga---she was a girl. This was more than the casual touch that fitness instructors use. This was quickly caressing my boobs, buttocks, belly, thighs.... . Had me going, damn....."toto, I have a feeling we are not in yoga class anymore"..... It felt kinda nice. But there was no sexual feeling associated from it. Damn, why can't men be this tenderly? 1 Like |

lolz xiadnat @Why cant men be tenderly i guess it how most of them have been brought up as well, you know to be tough and all. i guess you can be classified as mostly straight. i really appreciate your comment and contribution i m just wondering why people haven't commented on this post. As usual Nigerians always run away from such topics, quite sad. |

No....they won't. I'd be surprised if they do. Romance-landers in particular tend to shy away from anything that stimulates the cerebrum or resembles reality. Put up a naked picture of a large boobied or buttomed woman or say something with anti-male propaganda, then duck..'cause they'll start shooting. Thanks all the same. The sentiment is mutual. bangleslover: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hmmmm. What do you call a guy who is physically attracted to females but emotionally attracted to males? |
Re: 7 Myths About Sexual Orientation by Nobody: 5:00am On Apr 27, 2015 |
Dapo777: This guy can fall under the varied type bisexual. It also possible that due to the way he was brought up he tends to be emotionally drawn to men than women meaning that it is also possible that he may not be bisexual probably still in a transition phase. You can read the links on more stuffs about attractions as well. http://forums.psychcentral.com/sexual-gender-issues/280221-emotional-vs-sexual-attraction.html www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Attraction hope i was able to answer your question? |
