I am straight in that I:
a. am interested in women,
b. have never been with a man,
c. have never attempted to be with a man or make plans to hook up with a man, and
d. fantasize about / masturbate to / have sex with women.
However I am an open minded person, never have and never will see the world in black & white. In my life experience and intimate discussions with others & private thoughts and also reading on zity.biz (none of which you have access to, i.e. my mind), I see that so many things are possible and feel that life is unpredictable. So when I marked my orientation, I wanted to commit to the most open-minded orientation, even if my entire sexual history and thoughts is "straight". Of all the choices, I felt "heteroflexible" was best, even if I've never been with anyone but women.
For example, in the case of this discussion thread, I had read enough posts to bring me to the point of wondering -- even though I don't fantasize about men -- "What if my girlfriend came home one day and said 'I want to watch a guy take your temperature in your bottom.'" My answer to myself was "Hell yes!" Not because I'm into guys, but because that would turn my girlfriend on and therefore would turn me on. So, I'm hetero and yet flexible to consider doing such a thing. This scenario is the exact type of situation that made me choose "heteroflexible" in the first place. It's not your business, Susie, to determine my orientation or whether or not such a scenario has already happened to me or might happen one day in the future (who knows?) or never happens at all.
Frankly, NO orientation word fits how I see myself. Must I change my orientation to fit every answer that I put on zity.biz? Because I choose a particular orientation, must I write all my discussion posts accordingly? Do need to care that people are matching my answers to my orientation word? I understand that rules must be followed to keep discussions decent and hot hurtful, but there's the letter of the law and there's the spirit of the law. If I really am violating something here on zity.biz, please tell me. Seriously, if my post -- in light of my chosen orientation "label" -- has upset people or if others feel I am out of line, please let me know.
For a place that supposedly (or should in my humble opinion) celebrates the wonderful world of our diverse, private, intimate, and sensitive sexual lives and minds and souls, zity.biz can occasionally be a very judgmental, harsh place. Most of the time I love the interactions I have when I am online here, but at times I wonder if I will (for the 2nd time sadly) delete my account.
It sucks to sense that Big Brother (or maybe it's Big Sister) is always watching.
