Do we care if a person is gay or straight?

It is totally unimportant what sexual orientation others have. I would only like to play with men myself and don't care how straight they are. Never found women here disrespectful of this though I reckon this might look different from a lesbians point of view. Have had unwanted sexual attention from lesbians in RL but it is really no worse than being harassed by men. There are good and bad in all camps.

People's sexuality is unimportant to me,its whats inside that counts.

Absolutely not. Ever.

I couldn't give a shit!!

I have a girlfriend, we've been together 2.5 years. I've never been with a male in a sexual way but I am attracted to the opposite sex!

I hate being labelled, i can't bare in when people drop the word "Gay" it's always said in a negative context.

Does it matter if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?, if your gay, straight, bisexual?

Just my thoughts.

Love Abi

I find that i will submit to a person of either sex but can only imagine living with a woman and having given it a lot of thought i came to reallise that it is the act of submission that gets me going not the gender of the person i am submiting to. it seems to be the same with spanking caning etc all the devotees of CP i have spoken to say the same they don't really care about the gender of the person they are spanking or is spanking them although they do prefer someone of their prefered gender so they can have sex after. i suppose most of us with "kinks" are lucky in that we realise that just as sex is different to making love, so when satisfying our needs for kink the vanilla criteria for a partner gender,age ,apperance ,compatability etc don't apply it is just do they want to do what i want to do. for me the only time gender becomes an issue is when it is a gender specific fetish.

I feel that that whatever floats ones boat is cool with me! I myself am "straight", but have many good friends and acquaintances that are in the LGBT community. I have not done E play or other play with a male as I prefer and am with a female, that being said if the right situation and opportunity came up play with another guy is not off the table.

I really believe that everyone is born bisexual and, depending on outside influences, becomes either straight or gay, or remains bisexual. I am bisexual and had a female lover. Our relationship lasted throughout all 3 of my marriages and both of hers. She passed away in 2000. My third husband was bisexual and a few years into our marriage, developed a relationship with another man. His lover was also married. Some of my close friends are gay, some are straight. I have never paid any attention to their sexual orientation any more than I do the color of their skin. The only thing that matters is that they are good friends.

Love thy neighbor!

I will start by saying really gay or straight or bi matters not to me and I treat everyone the same ... I will say though that its natural for humans to be uncomfortable around things that are different to ourselves - its just human nature. For us to not be racist or homophobic then I think we have to recognise the natural suspicion of differences.

Just IMO...

I do not care at all... I do not judge others by their sexual orientation.

Well, maybe in certain situations I would feel safer/more comfortable with a homosexual man or straight woman, because I could be sure that this person has no sexual interest in me.

. . . i can't bare in when people drop the word "Gay" it's always said in a negative context. . . .

On the contrary, "gay" is the politically correct term for homosexual men, having arisen in the 1930's and coming into general use in the 1960's.

"Lesbian" has become the politically correct term for homosexual women since the late 19th century.

NEITHER term is negative or derogatory.

I am gay, so obviously I have no problems with gays. So for me the question should be do your care if a person is straight or bi? Personally I could care less what the sexual orientation of anyone is! Differences are what makes the world worth living in as long as all people treat all people well and can respect another's differences which make them individuals well worth getting to know. Who cares who is sleeping with whom!

I don't mind at all! 😉

I really have no preference at all.It would be damned ignorant if I did.We are all human beings regardless ☺

I have many friends. Whether they are gay, straight, catholic, Jewish, it makes no difference to me. I have no quotas to fill, they are just my friends, and their personal lives or preferences are their own business and must be respected.

A person's mind and personality is what matters, not her/his crotch.

I only care if I'm planning a sexual encounter.

It really doesn't matter to me. If I am in the chat room, I will always check people's profile out. I think how they describe themselves is the most revealing part of the profile- what they are into sexually. Once we start chatting the conversation can go anywhere and that's what fun about this site. Everybody is so open and nonjudgmental which enables all of us to rise above a single word description of our sexual orientation.

I really don't care. Especially on a site like this, you usually never know if another member is representing their true self and feelings, or if it is a persona they put on for entertainment. I suspect we have a miz of both.

Everyone is entitled to the same level of respect regardless of their sexual orientation. At least, that is my opinion.

I only care if I'm planning a sexual encounter.

Exactly -- it only matters if my interest includes a potential sexual dimension.

I enjoy conversing with people of all preferences. I do find it nice that most people try to display their sexual preferences in their profile. It makes it easier to engage in relevant conversation with them.

I think anyone who spends time at this site and in the chat room, develops a better understanding of those who have a different sexual preference than their own.

I had never heard the term Heteroflexible until I came to this site. I found the "label" liberating as I know I'm not gay - and having never engaged in relations with a man, I didn't consider myself bisexual. I did know that I have always been curious about same sex activities - so the term Heteroflexible was a welcome description.

While one side of me is against labels of any kind - I find it a very helpful way to cut through the awkwardness when trying to find common ground for conversation.

I am convinced that there are still a lot of straight people on here who should be listed as Heteroflexible, but still have some homophobic emotions to overcome.

Nicely put Doug, Karma for you.

No, I don't really care what they are. They can also be male or female. I am an older bi sexual male I just want someone to cuddle , be naked with, that will play with me including my genitals and breasts. I am open to do anything for them that they want in return.

I'll answer straight up...Couldn't care less....Respect others & their right in difference...Labels belong on consumable items & not people.

It seems practically everything that is shared here is more accepted & less judged here than in everyday life. With that comes accepting gays without judgement as well, moreso than in everyday life as well.. Being gay here can be regarded as just another fetish or preferred tendency as anything else. So the concept of "gay" seems to fit in with all the other fetishes, etc, on this site.

And I have a feeling, in addition, that there are probably quite a few straight people on this site who have gradually become more accepting & less judging of the people with gay sexual preferences as well since visiting this site.

I must admit that i wasn't always comfortable around gays. it was a process to get used to, to be around them occasionally over time. Now there's a gay guy at work that makes quite a bit of physical contact with me, usually on the arm or shoulder. It really doesn't bother me at all, and my reactionary vibe must be perceived as positive because he keeps doing it often. Now he came along before I got on this site, so it's not like it's because of zity. Although I've never really been in this type of situation before, maybe that's because my vibe wasn't always so positive around gays, probably because I may have been somewhat uncomfortable in the past. But it's a process, like many other things in life. Sometimes we have to "grow to accept" certain things, situations, etc.

And then there will always be people or institutions that won't grow or bend. With that comes exclusivity at the expense of inclusivity. In the end, to each his own.

I don't care any more about a person's orientation than I do about their religion. Like religion, I am OK unless you try to convert me. To my mind, that is a big taboo.

Not worried what gender people are, so long as they dont try and ram it down my throat.

I have no issue if someone is gay, straight or bisexual. In my opinion it's the kind of person they are that's important, not their sexual preference.

I'm not having sex, I'm enjoying the forum discussions. I don't care if you are gay or straight. I enjoy a mix of perspectives.
