I disagree. Someone stated homosexual is about love not sex. They were wrong.
I stated I don't want to hear about either sexuals.

This is a dead end conversation. Pretty sure t&c's are against sexual talk if you wanna be exact.
How about you request a special sex section, or stick to an adult gay or straight sex chat.

Does this not make rational sense to you in some way?

When a person has an intrinsically irrational mindset, I don't see how any logic, no matter how rational, could possibly be seen as rational by that same individual

I am not a mod, but my interpretation of this is that describing a sexual act would be against T&C but discussing a persons sexual orientation would not be.

We have been in the rules so far.
I think.

So just to get back on page one.

My first lesbian experience. Seeing lesbians in the wild.

I was four.. They gave me cold beans mixed with what must have been lawn clippings and yucky tomatoes?
It was organic, in the early 90s.

A gay dude, said I didn't have to eat it, and I put it down.
I played with some girls one was my age and I think one was 6? and one was younger.
We broke a porch swing? Or I jumped off the porch? either way something was my fault and someone got hurt.
Not bad though..

Then we left and my mom fed me real food.
Not mcdonalds in case anyone is wondering.. My mom was obviously hippie too.
We probably had stir fry or something, with COW in it. Lol..

That was my first encounter that I recall. I am sure I saw gay people in the wild before this.
Like another species.. So different.

It's just people being people..
Nothing more.

Don't be scuuured!

I heard that if a wild gay bites you, you become gay, and that's how gayness is spread.

On topic though I don't think I ever recall the first Homosexual person I ever met, but I was entirely aware of other sexual orientations due to my own.

Needless to say, it wasn't at all shocking to discover some people were attracted to the same gender

Don't make me flirt with you...

I am a huge flirt though

a reply to: Reverbs

Exactly my point. I was merely posting that for mandroid7's benefit.

This thread has me wondering though how my extreme religious (I am cured now) background played a role in my awareness.
One would think with all the petty gossip and finger pointing done by the adults around me, I would have been more aware. I mean, I knew all about the divorcee neighbor woman was sleeping with a man she wasn't married to at the age of 7. Maybe the silliness of it, made me care less about what went on in other peoples lives, if not a little overly paranoid of what people though was going on in my own.

tough question...

to be honest, i don't think that by 7 or 8 i was really understanding what other people were. They were just constructs existing within my world.

now....im pretty good at determining that sort of thing. doesn't matter much, beyond allowing me to have some insight into how to build rapport or something. But even that relies on stereotypes.

I like you. You are cool.
I don't want to get in trouble though.
I'm not sure what the type is for a drag queen?
Muscles?

I don't have any memory of this, but my grandmother said I came home from school one day, kindergarten I believe. I was telling our neighbor the difference between lesbians (women) and homosexuals (men)! I don't know where I would have heard anything like that to repeat.

I don't actually recall a moment when it clicked, it's like I just always knew.

I think I knew about gays since I was really little... I guess it was just intuition that taught me that two guys or two girls could like each other just as easily as a man and a woman. I don't remember a specific incident. I do remember when I was in early grade school being worried that I might have a crush on a certain guy. So I must have known about it then. Nothing ever came of that situation, and I am straight these days.

It probably wasn't until college when I had some gay roommates and friends that I became really comfortable with the idea and understood what it meant to be gay. Until then, I kind of saw gay people as "different" but after getting to know some really well I realize they are people, too.

a reply to: darkbake

exactly.

a reply to: Reverbs

Why thank you, Likewise

We all have different types. mine very

My dad was British airways cabin crew for 37 years, one of a few straight males doing the job. He used to take us as a family away a lot with him on trips especially at Christmas so I was aware of gay men from quite a young age and I guess many of us pick up our prejudices from our parents. My dad saw them only as colleagues and I was always very polite and respectful with anyone my dad worked with so never had a problem with gay men really. I just saw them as men with good style on the whole.

As a gay man having read this entire thread.

Hilarious.

Stuff like this reminds that me that most people are prejudice and are willing to have a little fun at their own expense to try and understand or come to terms with something that is completely different from them.

Thanks guys, ATS has been a rough scene for the last month and I sorta wanted to see a conversation that wasn't all hatred and vitriol.

On a side note though to the men who stated they like to 'tease' the gay guys. Remember, that's the kind of thing you would see girls doing to guys eh?

First part of courtship is disinterest . Careful you don't dip more than your toes into the warm water, lest you learn to enjoy it.

I was a sheltered child and didn't find out until I was probably 13 or 14. I was horrified that a man could find another man's hairy butt attractive.

I always said [even before I knew that a comedian had made the same joke] that hetero men are the actual 'gay' ones, because they like soft women, looking all pretty. Whereas Gay men, they are hardcore men's men because they are going for hairy, muscular, strong guys with mustaches.
I mean how much more manly can you get???

a reply to: Hecate666

Lol

I guess I'm different. My husband is this short little Asian doctor lol

Most def not a lumberjack type
