What Is Your Real Sexual Orientation?
|
What Is Your Real Sexual Orientation? I notice on profiles that most men post their sexual orientation as “straight” yet many of them want to hook up with other men and trans* people. These days there are many more sexual identities than “straight”, “bi”, or “gay”. You may actually be bicurious or questioning (considering alternatives to being straight), hetero–flexible (straight but considering partners of “same” sex), homo–flexible (gay but considering partners of “opposite” sex), neutroissexual (attracted to non–gendered or non–binary individuals), pansexual (attracted to individuals with any gender identity), or skoliosexual (attracted to trans* people). Below is a comprehensive list of sexual orientations. After reading this list, I invite you to share your sexual orientation in the comments below. And perhaps you will decide to add a “true” sexual orientation to your profile page. I personally identify as androphiliac, androromantic, chameleosexual, ecosexual, and sapiosexual. Akoiromantic – Has a romantic attraction which does not need to be reciprocated. Ambiphilia or Biphilia – Attracted to both masculinity (men) and femininity (women). Androphilia – Attracted to men and masculinity. Androgynephile – Attracted to males and females. Androgynoromantic or Androgyneromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals expressing femininity and masculinity without implying the gender of the individual experiencing the attraction. Androromantic – Romantically attracted to masculine individuals. Aromantic or Antiromantic – Does not experience romantic attraction towards anyone. Asexual – Little or no sexual attraction to anyone. Autochorissexual – Lack the desire to be a participant in the sexual activities. Autosexual – Prefers masturbation over other forms of sexual attraction. Bicurious – Considering experimenting sexually with individuals of the same sex. Biromantic – Romantically attracted to both males and females. Bisexual – Attracted to both males and females. Celibate – Abstaining from all sexual activity. Chameleosexual – An individual whose sexual role is dependent on what the gender orientation of their partner is. An example is an individual that plays the bottom (receptive) role when with male sexual partners and plays the top (active) role when with female sexual partners. Cupioromantic – Desire for a romantic relationship despite not experiencing romantic attraction. Demiromantic – Sexual attraction only after a strong emotional bond has been formed. Demisexual – Only feels sexual attraction when a strong emotional bond has formed. Ecosexual - Environmentally conscious individuals who masturbates in nature, makes love to Mother Earth, or marries Mother Earth. Gynephilia – Attracted to women and femininity. Gynoromantic or Gyneromantic – Romantically attracted to feminine individuals. Heteroromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals of the “opposite” gender. Heterosexual or Straight – Attracted to the “opposite” gender. Hetero–Flexible – A heterosexual open to the possibilities of a homosexual relationship. Homoromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals of the “same” gender. Homosexual or Gay – Attracted to the “same” gender. Homo–Flexible – A homosexual open to the possibilities of a heterosexual relationship. Idemromantic – Experiencing romantic and platonic feelings in the same way. Lesbian – A female attracted to other females. Lithromantic or Lithsexual – Feels attraction but does not want this feeling returned in any way. Monoromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals with only one gender identity. Monosexual – Attracted to individuals that identify as one gender i.e. loving males or loving females. Neutroisromantic – Romantically attracted to non–gendered or non–binary individuals. Panromantic or Omniromantic or Ambiromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals with any gender including those expressing masculine, feminine, and intersex/third gender–mixing. Pansexual or Omnisexual or Multisexual or Panphilia – Attracted to individuals with any gender identity. Polyromantic – Romantically attracted to multiple, but not all, genders. Polyamorous – Individuals who are involved with multiple intimate partners. Polysexual – An non–binary individual who is attracted to individuals of any gender identity. PoMosexual (postmodernly sexual) - An individual that disregards gender and sexual labels altogether. Quoiromantic – Unable to distinguish the difference between romantic and platonic feelings therefore does not know whether or not they have been experienced. Queer – Identifies as a sexual minority or marginalized individuals. Questioning – An individual who questions or is uncertain of their sexual identity. Recipromantic – Romantic attraction only after the other individual is romantically attracted. Requiesromantic – Little to no romantic attraction due to some mental or emotional exhaustion. Sapiosexual – Attracted to intelligence and finding intellectual stimulation sexually arousing. Skoliosexual – Attracted to individuals with non–binary gender identities. Transromantic or Skolioromantic – Romantically attracted to individuals of variant or ambiguous gender or to transgender or intersex individuals.

Leaning toward Transromantic or Skolioromantic these days.

Since I was fifteen, I have identified myself as bisexual. Now that I am older and given the experiences I have had over the years, I consider myself to be pansexual. I find myself attracted to people of all gender identities. For me, I am attracted to the person for who they are, regardless of how they identify themselves. Everyone is beautiful in my eyes. As for my hubby, he is a billion percent straight. Period. To each his or her own!

Great research! Never heard of most of these. Interesting that the list includes romantic orientation as well as sexual; most conversation seems to focus only on the sexual.
