I think you fail in understanding terms...

A homosexual would be someone with a same sex orientation.

A lesbian is a girl who is sexually oriented towards girls.

Lesbian is the term for female homosexual.

Exactly. Lesbianism is feminine attraction to females. I'm attracted to females in a feminine way but am not female in my normal endeavors so therefore I'm not a homosexual.

I do not understand. Are you saying you are attracted to females, however not in a sexual relationship?

Because then your not lesbian. Your well, human. Admitting that someone of the same sex is attractive seems more of a human behavior than a gay or straight one I would think.

edit: or I just missed a certian part of your post. "I am not female in my normal endeavors" ..is this to say you associate yourself differently than female? Than this makes more sense for me.

double edit: if it is not rude of me to ask, what gender are you? I am making too many presumptions and I am making a fool of myself ^_^

I am male. I associate with being a male. I like women... a lot. However, I don't like women in a manly way. I do like women in a romantic sense. However, I do not like women in a manly way. When I'm in love with a female or am attracted to a woman/girl/whatever it is as a female. My romantic/sexual self is female, though I identify as a male. Therefore, I am not straight. I am lesbian.

Hmm, than I think I would disagree with you. I think you are a straight male willing to admit that you have effeminate qualities. In my opinion, what is considered masculine and feminine qualities are a joke anyhow. You simply are someone who identifies with what culture has told us are feminine attributes concerning relationships.

A lesbian is someone who is in fact female, with the sexual orientation of being homosexual.

I do believe he has a point, though, but only because I feel similarly in a way - when I feel attracted to a female, it feels as if I'm a male, though I do not identify as such. This sort of transgenderism would indeed make it difficult to define one's sexuality. Physically, yes, he is straight, but past that, it would be difficult to explain.

True, except it appears his identification to being female in a relationship is based off of what we consider the feminine role in a relationship...which really is just cultural bullshit.
Lesbian here.
I tried being with a guy once but everything failed- I didn't even find him attractive at all! Experiment went wrong.

Now I'm completely sure about myself and my sexuality. I'm in a wonderful relationship with a girl and I'm very happy about it.
I, as most little boys in this heterosexist society we all live in, grew up assuming I was a "normal" straight boy who was gonna marry a cute girl someday. I remember, even now, though, back when I was first told the difference between hetero, homo, and bisexuals when I was about ten, and thinking to myself, "Wow. Bisexuals must be happy all the time! They like everyone!"

It took me until I was nineteen to acknowledge to myself the attractions I felt towards men too. Fortunately, after my period of personal dread at coming out to myself, I felt like a great weight had been lifted off my chest, especially cause it didn't change my life in any way except that I no longer had a feeling of wrongness or uncleanliness when I looked at a man in a sexual manner.

In all, I had a positive coming out as bi to my friends and loved ones. They were either apathetic or supportive [mostly apathetic ^^"], and gave me a soft spot of security, especially when my mother didn't take it so well. I only hinted at my sexual revelation, and she looked like a sack of bricks had just nailed her in the gut, no matter how much she'd tried before to assert that she was open and accepting of gays. I don't bring it up near her, and so I'm sure she's just pretending it was a phase I'm grown out of by now, though that's entirely wrong. Too bad for her I'm too vocal about my liberalism for her to make a self-pleasing assumption that I've grown out of my rebellious college stage and gone back to the "good guy" conservatives. razz
I define myself if people ask as a gay male because that's what i strongly lean towards. I will admit there are moments when i am attracted to girl but that's only 2-5% of the time. I can appreciate the female form but still i prefer relations with men over that.
I am a lesbian, but I am also a bit of a sexuality snob.

These days being gay is simply a trend.
To me, pansexuality is completely made up (not being rude, just stating an opinion.)
How can sexuality not be about what's in someone's pants?
What's the difference between a sexual relationship and a friendship.
Sex.

I understand love for love, and everything.
I love plenty of men.
But I cannot have sex with them.
It just, doesn't happen.


And then, bisexuality is the biggest trend of them all.
Are you talking yourself into liking the same sex to look cooler?
And if so, don't you think that might screw up your brain in later days?
That you pretended to be something and did sexual things based on false feelings?


I have met very few real bisexuals.
It's the rarest thing ever.

And for those who say it's easier being with a girl because boys are driven by sexuality, you are severely, severely wrong.
There is no difference.
It's the same as not all men are driven by sex,
and not all women are.

But I know plenty of lesbians who are.
Plenty of straight women who are.
Plenty of gay men who are.
And plenty of straight men who are.


We're all the same.
I am an asexual aromantic. I am interested in neither a sexual or romantic relationship.
I may not have always known the terminology, but I have always been one. I have even questioned myself about it, but that is due to my mother being a b***h who doesn't care about me, and puts me last. I have a bad self image and don't want to be different, so if something is different I ask my self am I really this way, is this really wrong (like breathing problems) or am I just blowing things out of proportion. she trained me to doubt myself, so I do, since I have yet to break that pattern.
im not really sure what my sexuality is at times.
usually im looking at every pretty girl i pass down the road (i realised i was straight by 12) but ONCE every so often i see a guy who catches my eye..... does it make me bi?
