This happens to me all the time, and now it's just pissing me off.
Is there a way to definitively know what your sexual orientation is? 4chan has messed me up so much in this area.
>>17102436
Do you like the same sex exclusively? Gay.
Do you like the opposite sex exclusively? Straight.
Do you like both? Bi.
That's it, don't you dare put more labels, that's all you need.
>>17102501
this.
>>17102436
>definitively
if you are unsure its likely becuase you have been focusing on porn and not chemistry. I'm gay but found that I can fap to lesbians rather enjoyably.
go have sex with a guy. then with a girl. see how your body reacted.
>>17102501
What about intersex people who don't identify with a specific gender?
>>17102501
I don't really know who I like. Some days, my dick likes women, and other days I find myself on /hm/ really enjoying that instead. I'm really stuck here.
>>17102510
I've heard of stuff like this before. Going to have to look into more relationships in order to expand on my understandings, I guess.
>>17102514
>no more labels than that
>BUT WHAT BAOUT INTERSEX
what part of no more labels than that? its fine if you want to identify as male or female but if you identify as some magical third gender, no one fucking cares and will just label you as what they see.
if you are talking about your attraction to people of intersex, if you are attracted to dicks you got a hint of bisexuality, even if its attached to the most feminine 'woman' in the world.
I don't want to sound tumblr but it seems like this binary orientation terminology isn't particularly useful and causes more problems than it solves.
You like what you like, who gives a shit.

"4chan has messed me up"
The outcry of someone who can't take responsibility for themselves.
The problem with being bi is that basically no uh… "decent" girl (meaning a high-class babe) will want to be with you. It's a no go for a LOT of women. I'm just telling it to you straight, man.
>>17102566
this seems to be a thing unless you're ridiculously masculine. like the most traditionally masculine attractive straight male who just happens to also date dudes.
but the biggest thing i notice with bisexuals is they keep dating dudes cuz its just easier.
>>17102549
I've tried applying this rule, but society just wants to fuck me up. If I said this to people they would just see me as indecisive and silly.
>>17102553
Sorry for not bring able to choose what's on the first page of /b/ for myself.
>>17102566
Really wouldn't want to be in another relationship with a woman. Asserting dominance in a relationship is not my thing. I still sort of like them some days, though, and some days I don't.
OP you have transcended sexuality. Evolution and exploration have led you ahead of 99,9999% of the world's population. Enjoy enjoying more.
>>17102589
>if i tell people this they would just see me as indecisive and silly
why care ? i mean im gay, but i just tell anyone im straight. unless they see me fucking a guy they dont really need to know. i only came out to my friends of two years about 3 weeks ago. and it was only cuz i wasnt planning to see them anymore.
>>17102618
So just pretend for the rest of my life, instead of being integral with those I hold dear? Ehh...
Well, my parents still don't know anything about my sexuality, I guess I could just go on like this on the outside. It would just feel so wrong, though.
>>17102549
Came here to say this but you beat me to it.
Basically OP who gives a shit?
>>17102566
I'd take a bi guy.
>>17102645
>so just pretend for the rest of my life, instead of being integral with those i hold dear? ehhh
congratulations, you are a faggot. you can just tell them that.
that being said, if you tell the people you 'hold dear' that you arent sure about your sexuality, and they judge you, then maybe you shouldnt hold them dear.
the issue with your issues is you are making a bigger issue of this issue than you need to.
if you feel you are dating dudes and chicks, tell them that. if you are only dating one, tell them that. if you dont know them well enough, dont tell them anything. people asking you your orientation are rather nosy.
>>17102546
To be fair, there is a tiny minority of people who have both sets of genitals
Sure, I'll just go with the "Who gives a fucking shit" option again then. Seems like the only decent option at this point, just fap and fuck without guilt. Thanks anons, I know understand why lying is so great sometimes.
>>17102657
that doesn't contradict what he said at all.
>>17102666
and in special cases there are always special rules, but if you're walking around concerned that you dont know what your sexuality is because someone was literally born deformed then you have too much time on your hands.
if you are talking about hermaphrodites defining their own sexualities, there are no set rules. again special occasion special rules. they can just do whatever the fuck they want as far as most of society is concerned.
>>17102669
if you honestly cant look at the basic chart and say you are gay. bi, or straight, then sure, just be privately undecided.
the world doesnt care about your label as much as you think it does.
>>17102669
if people are asking cuz you're actively dating / fapping to men and women in their eye sight, then just say you are bi.
you do seem to like bvoth genders dont you? thats why you made this thread isnt it?
>>17102681
Going with this.
>>17102684
Depends on certain factors, friendo.
>>17102701
>Certain factors
if you ahvent had sex with one or the other then go do it.
>>17102701
>Depends on certain factors
nope
>>17102706
Area is primitive. Can always try, though.
>>17102710
That's quite non descript.
>>17102436
stop comming to 4chan for your own views on sexual orentation. you like who or what you like.
lets put it this way: if you like to fuck watermelons go do it! but if it involves any underage persons seek help.
>>17102436
If you fap to men, you're gay.
If you fap to both, you probably have mental issues.
Otherwise, straight.
Sexuality is a spectrum. Your sexuality is your own. If you want to throw a label on it, whatever. But that's up to you, not the internet.
