    I've seen a lot of people talk about this and I'm just interested to see how polysexuals or polyromantics define their individual orientation.

    I identify as polyromantic because I have a strong preference for girls but I know I wouldn't really mind dating someone of another gender, it' just very vague and non specific in my mind. I won't know how I feel about it unless I try it (I've only ever had a girlfriend.)

    I'm interested to hear your responses!

    Welll... I'm not poly, I'm pan... But... I think everyone has a preference lean to some degree. For me my preference often fluctuates like my gender, but there are some days where I'm more into guys, and there's some days where I'm more into girls. Some days I could go for either. Or other genders, not to exclude them. I mean, it's not like I like everyone at once. So there's often a preference lean, and that's not always a daily thing. I might go through a period of time, say a month- where I'm mainly into guys... or vice versa. Maybe that's similar to what you're talking about?

    I'm bisexual, not poly, but I'm probably able to like more than just two genders. I know that I can feel attraction for men, women and non-binary people regardless of they being trans or cis. I have a prefference of masculine looking people, but I would date feminine people too. I'm still not sure about my romantic orientation. I'm probably homoromantic or bi/panromantic if I happen to feel romantic feelings for non-binary people too.

    I am pansexual and genderfluid. When I am attracted to someone, their gender and sexuality don't really come into play. But some days I'm more attracted to men, some days women. Some days I'm attracted to more feminine men, some days butch women. But really, if I found someone who was open and understanding of my being genderfluid, that persons gender wouldn't matter at all to me.

    I'd love to answer this thread but I'm kind of lost for the meaning of terms used in here.
    All I know is that I'm inlove with a man, still fantasizing about women(not all women)

    Made out with a girl once. Didn't really had the opportunity to explore things.
    I could've really fallen hard for any gender so long as I felt there was connection and love.

    What does that make me then? Help with the definition anyone?

    If you find yourself attracted to people regardless of gender, I'd say that would go under pansexual but you can really use whichever term you feel comfortable with.

    :eusa_doh: It means your sexuality...sexual fluidity I prefer to say; you are 60% female (straight) and 40% male (gay). It's just the composition some people use to determine their inclination.

    Oh thanks lora. I forgot to place 60% that I fancy women( but not all the time) and 40% attraction to males.
    I can imagine intercourse with both too so I guess i'm really bisexual. Although I almosy fell for a gay friend in college, but I got over that. I guess it was the emotional connection.

    I like the idea of calling myself more biromantic but really..eventually it will lead to intimate sex especially when there's already an established chemistry and emotional connection. So I decide that I am bisexual.

    What does biromantic mean? I make it really obvious I'm new here don't I.
    Does that mean you can be romantic to both genders? As the term suggest? boink...

    Being romantic with someone else mean merely romance (cuddling, sweet talks, companionship, kisses, etc). It doesn't include being sexually attracted. Not going to that level. Some people are like this, especially the asexual biromantics. Now, I said asexual because they are the ones who do not feel any sexual feelings. It's a bit tricky but they exist:icon_bigg.

    Bisexuals include sexual attraction. And yes, both genders since we're using "bi." That's just semantics!

    Oh I see! :slight_smile:

    Then I am biromantic first then bisexual second. I guess. I don't feel anything when I see a woman's private parts really. I get more turned on by male parts. But if there is a story, and emotions are involved then I kind of like that more.

    Hmmm I actually realize many things, thanks for your patience.

    Same. But if there's a nice and attractive woman who would come to me and want to skip the chit-chat, I wouldn't shilly-shally. I like spontaneity anytime.
