You often hear people identifying as numerous things such as "hetero-emotional but bi-sexual", "homo-emotional but bi-sexual", "bi-emotional but hetero-sexual", "bi-emotional but homo-sexual", or even a full extreme like "hetero-emotional but homo-sexual"
My question is: is this really feasible? What biological reasons could make someone desire a different gender for romantic and sexual purposes?
I know a lot of gay people say that anyone who identifies as "hetero-emotional" is influenced by society and doesn't try hard enough to form emotional bonds with the same sex, but i think this is pretty speculative
Personally, i would call myself hetero-emotional and bi-sexual, but i'd be a lot more secure in my orientation if i knew that i wasn't supressing homo-emotional desires and that it has been proven that you can be sexually desiring of a gender, but not emotionally desiring of them. I get excited by the idea of romance with the opposite sex, whereas the idea of going on dates etc with another guy just seems kinda weird (no offence, i'm sure you've heard it all before anyway) and pretty unappealling. I would love to see proof that this isn't down to some form of homophobia, and that it's actually biologically proven to be feasible and common
