Thread: What does it feel like to be...straight?

Is it weird that it feels like there's disproportionate number of homosexual people replying to this thread? I would think more straight people would reply since there are more straight people in the world....

>Implying Dreamviews is part of the world.

But yeah, it's a little strange. Maybe it's because straight people don't think about it. They haven't faced haters because of their heterosexuality, so it's probably a lot more rare for a heterosexual to have reflected deeply over their own attractions, so maybe that's why so few of them actually want to go into the thread in the first place.
Maybe?

You find it hard to describe what you like about men, and in the same way, we find it hard to explain what we like about women. I would love to explain it to you, but I'm afraid that I can't.

You mean other than sex?

Or maybe DV's just super gay <3

Well, DV does have a high percentage of homo- and bisexuals, as can be seen HERE

I feel left out when I can't place my vote anywhere
It's pretty cool though, to me it feels like Dreamviews just has a bit of everything. And not just limited to sexualities either, just a lot of different kinds of people.

<3

You're all so cute, with your "only boys" and "only girls" stuff. Must suck.

you're gross

For as long as I've known, I've only found men sexually attractive. There's no way else I can describe it.

I'm just asking how YOU, straight guys, can find it possible to like women. Don't be afraid to be specific either.

Girls are welcome to contribute, obviously.

Just think of the inverse of what you said. There is no how, no thought between the observer and the object of attraction. A woman is an unconditioned provocative stimulus. Why? She just is.

A loud bang is an equally unconditioned provocative stimulus. Why? It just is.

Spoiler for Unless...:

Unless you wish to venture into evolutionary ad-hoc, inductive arguments, of course. Though these arguments are anthropic and 'just-so'...

I don't really see the issue here - you're attracted to men, and I to women. Does how and why matter? No possible answer will change the fact that I like women, and you like men. ^_^

Pretty silly question. The answer why straight guys like women is the same answer as to why you like men.

Which is no reason at all.

Are you serious? It's because straight men are attracted to women. Straight women are attracted to men. Gay men are attracted to men. Is that really that difficult to understand? It's not that complicated. I'm sure you can get it.

I guess he meant we don't really have a definite reason for our attraction regardless of sexuality?

Yeah, attraction is what makes sexuality, not the other way around. And there is no reason for attraction.

I don't feel normal being lesbian, but I feel weird to think about attraction towards guy.

It's probably just the cultural negativity towards it. And possibly the way your parents feel about it.

Despite what some might tell you it is normal, if comparatively uncommon. (It's even normaler and less uncommon on DV.)

Because they do as they are told and I like the obedience.

(Also I dont think Grod has been around much)

I don't know what this means. Around much gay people?

For years I had to pretend I liked women; girlfriends, drunken mishaps, the lot...I should have won an oscar. I can find a woman sexy with clothes on, but naked? Not a chance.

That's quite a peculiar blend of attraction; implies sexuality fits more to a quantitative scale (degrees of attraction) than it does a qualitative (black/white, yes/no) one.

Hmm, the same doesn't apply for me towards men. I find the male form, in all shapes or sizes, extremely attractive. I just meant that women appeal more to me (or appealed more, when I had to be ''straight'') fully clothed and looking well, as opposed to in the nip. But I like all kinds of men naked or clothed.
