Do you have to participate in sexual activity to be considered gay or straight?

[BornReady]

Or..... because of society in general.... perhaps they feel guilty in their choice(s).... and want to hide?

Yeah, Christian parents often make their children feel abnormal and evil if they are homosexual. This can cause them to hide who they really are. It's sad.

I don't choose to be straight... i just am.... I love boobies and the warm feeling you get inside...... errr yeah

 

[RedRyder]

It's an analogy. So there are similarities and differences. My point is sex and eating are actions and sexual orientation and hunger are natural desires. Not acting on a natural desire doesn't make it go away. If someone starved to death it would be silly to suggest he wasn't hungry. If a man suppressed his desire to have sex with another man his whole life it would be silly to suggest he wasn't gay.

I know it was an analogy. Not one I would have used.

..... but now that you have elaborated.... I like it.

I would think that any man or woman who suppresses this desire to be with the same sex.... would surely not know their own truth until they did step outside themselves with another of the same sex. Why should anyone else be able to label them?

I hear my neighbours from downstairs.

Correction, the whole block hears my neighbours from downstairs.

You sir, are lucky. I have to watch videos. :ninja












:surrender Okay. So I'm joking.

It's not a choice because well i never chose and even if it was don't think i'd choose anyway ,plus it doesn't matter if you have had sex with someone to know what you are,because Ive not .

 

[Francis]

What if you are not in a relationship at all?

Self adoration ??

So gran is ok with it? Thats good. Maybe in time your parents will accept it, or at least I hope they will.

Yeah and my dad just does everything my mum does, but she says pure weird things like if i see her she'll ask if I'm still a lesbian I'm like, obviously.

[AnnaBabyx]

[anathelia]

And that's why I'm afraid to tell my parents I'm even bisexual.


But to the question at hand, no I don't think you need to participate in sexual activity to be considered a certain sexual orientation. You have an attraction to a certain sex (or sexes in some cases) long before there's any sexual activity going on. Just my opinion.
