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

jebus! allah have mercy that was soo much to take in. my head still cramps:dry: It's ok though, i called my friend who happens to be an expert at these kind of things and i got the definition for all the qouted words :lol:

BTW, aghhh, i highly doubt it's biologically common. I mean, if it was...woudn't that make your parents, ur siblins..grandparents, people who would have sex with the same sex as well as the opposite sex, but find it utterly gross to fall in love with the same sex? -nods head- yeaaaa....:rolleyes:

homophobia, nahh, its not homophobia. I mean, in a sertain critera some people may consider it homophobia but while u may not like to do it for urself(go out with a guy) it dosn't mean u dispize people who do it, right? Its not like u hate people who form romantic, sexual and emotional relationships with men and only approve of guys who have sex with other guys just cuz they are horny and felt like it. right?


so, you tell me. what do you think? cuz ur opinion counts too u know:dry:
