    If I could choose I'd also go with ace because of lack of social skills the I'd go with Lesbian because...woman . After lesbian I'd go with bisexual still because...woman and last straight.

    I would go with being attracted to women. liking multiple genders is too hard, the straight people think I'm gay and the gay people think I'm straight. like @Kally said, ace would be an option because of the lack of social skills so that would be my second choice

    I'd stick it out as gay. It's worked out pretty well for me. Plus if I picked something else I probably wouldn't know my husband--and he's one of the greatest joys of my life.

    That's so accurate of an observation. I'd probably have an easier life being straight, but I can't really say for sure that would be my choice. Maybe I would still just choose to be what I am now?

    I'm ashamed of the society that tells me my loves and desires are inferior based on the preferences and prejudices of others. Because sadly, without that, a question like this would be impossible to properly answer.

    I look forward to the day when we don’t have to have labels describing who we are sexually. It’s all built around prejudice and fear. What if sexual orientation was simply a blank? Maybe in a world that allowed people to explore who they were based on their interests, curiosity and desire. I know a lot of people who would say it would probably destroy civilization. What’s wrong with us? My state in the U.S. has gone over the cliff over LGBTQ+ issues and wants to criminalize in one form or another being “not straight”. Of course my state is also full of right wing Republican MAGATS and homophobes who would literally use us for target practice. May be time to move to California.

    I agree with 74andConfused. I hope I live to be able to say I’m in love with a man because he makes me feel good both mentally and physically.

    Bi. My healthiest emotional bonds are with females but I very much enjoy sex with both men and women.

    Similar. I wouldn't say my emotional bonds with women are healthier than with men, just different. I tend to befriend women with more ease, though that's not my intent. It just works out that way since many guys need the sports and beer to keep that safety barrier up. As for guys I click with, the emotional bond is much more of a deep fondness. Being around guys usually comes with less drama. Usually! I'm not even referring to sex in this brief discussion, but just enjoying someone.

    Great handle, BTW. I smiled when I saw it.

    "Safety barrier." Amen. My best friend, now deceased could not have meant more to me but he was nearly incapable of emotion.

    I'd like to be aro-ace. My mind's been so obsessed, worrying that I'll never get to experience any of that and my intrusive thoughts are having a damn field day. So it would be nice if I could just opt out. None of this acting like a fool because my brain thinks someone is pretty. Or falling for straight girls. I don't want to find people attractive anymore. I don't want to worry about being alone. I just want to be happy as I am! Romantic feelings and physical attraction make things too complicated.

    I don't even know because I only had a boyfriend. but once during my student years I kissed a girl and I liked it. so I don't know, but I think I'm straight.
