How do you feel about several sexual identity terms?

How do you feel about the validity and political correctness [or not] of various terms like "Gay", "Lesbian", "Bisexual", "Heteroflexible" "Homosexual", "Heterosexual", "Bicurious" and other terms related to peoples' sexual preferences??

I have lots of feelings on these terms, but I want someone else to start off! 😁 😁 😁

There are now, in any case, far more of such terms than when I was growing up. And they cover a more nuanced range of identities with an increased scope for being more in line with how people feel about themselves.

If these terms are enough to cover all manner of sexual identities, that's another question. Probably not, because as people become less reluctant to discuss these kind of things, it will probably emerge that there are many more types that haven't yet been named.

As for the political correctness of some of these terms - that's a subjective point. Worrying about pc is often a symptom of rapidly changing ideas about politeness and how to interact or describe people of varying different backgrounds. These ideas, or social etiquette, can change so rapidly that many people can be bewildered and confused at the changes. And that by extension, they can come to have a preference for or conversely be indignant at or repelled by the use of certain words.

In any case, the terms you summed up seem to me, at least for now, to be politely neutral and just about devoid of any kind of moral judgement.

As a relatively new member, I was pleasantly surprised to see such a variety of options. While I am exclusively gay and (at least at this time) have zero interest in playing with a female, I was glad to see guys refer to themselves as "Heteroflexible". This indicates a degree of open-mindedness that was great to see; in fact, it's probably something I should aspire to. But for me personally it means I have a greater selection of play partners from this site. In fact I have my first session with one such "heteroflexible" member scheduled for next week. I suppose it's somewhat inevitable, though, considering the relatively small number of people into these particular fetish and the much greater number of males compared to females. Men who insist on playing with nothing but women may find themselves searching a long time to find a suitable play partner; those who don't mind a male playmate will have many more opportunities.

I'm guessing, too, that medfet in particular may be unique because so many of us older guys grew up at a time when male doctors were the norm. Our earliest experiences were usually with male doctors, and if those experiences were eroticized, then sometimes the gender of the doctor might be carried over as well. I've seen a number of posts where men have expressed a preference for a doctor who is more authoritative and perhaps less forgiving; female doctors by nature tend to be more nurturing and can give off an entirely different vibe.

Guys into spanking have also expressed the desire to be disciplined by a male. Sometimes because it was how they got it growing up and want to replicate that experience; other times it's because they have had problems finding a female who is aggressive enough and even physically strong enough to administer a really intense punishment.

I'm just grateful to be able to meet straight men who can see past the rigid sexual stereotypes and allow themselves to enjoy what they really want and need, regardless of the gender of the person who is in the dominant role.

That's a complex question Susie...I self identify as a *Sissy* meaning I wear frilly satin panties and/or diapers which marks out my pleasure as being submissive to both my female or male play partners.

I think that sensuality is fluid as feeling *Georges* cum fill my mouth or Kevins throbbing up my fufu makes me spurt in my panties as much as when I'm spanked by Nana Jade for being nawty.

I often think that,in the UK especially ,terms of sexuality are twisted and contorted out of all proportion to the extent that nobody even knows what is or is not PC anymore , i'm afraid that you guys on the west side of the pond have to shoulder some of the blame for the sue anyone for anything that pisses you off slightly culture , ( to the degree that most decide to say nothing in fear of upsetting someone ) . I'm sure that in 20 - 30 years time there won't be any need for gay pride marches and i hope that the majority of decent folks won't give a flying f@ck who does what to anyone as long as all parties are up for it . Thats my Rum fuelled rant for today , peace and LOVE .
