    so i came across this orientation and thought it described me pretty well, but it's not taken seriously. it's like i'm stuck in the bi-curious faze, and i want to just be bi or straight or something. my first crush was a girl, and i'm really noticing girls more often.
    i'm also really bothered by this words connection to porn. look it up anywhere and you'll see tons of Spanish porn for some odd reason. i don't want to look into this too much though, it just crushes me. as i continue to research i find that heteroflexible is treated as being bi-phobic. so just help me on this. i think saying i'm bi would be false advertisement :bang:, but i don't want to start having to explain to people why Spanish porn pops up when they try to understand me. :help:

    Heteroflexible just means that one prefers the opposite gender but can have moments of homosexual feelings as well. It's just a name, a label, less well known than bisexual or bi-curious, I guess. Just explain that to people and you should be fine. I definitely don't think it's bi-phobic since it's on the bi spectrum itself.

    Heteroflexible is a fine word to use. You can also just say "mostly straight", which sums it up without people having to google it and find porn :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Can I ask why you think calling yourself bi would be false advertisement?

    Seems fine and normal. I looked it up (no Spanish porn for me) and it made sense.

    bi people normally say "i'm half gay" but i'm not half gay. i'm 15% gay. often more people of the same gender will flock to that person because its perfectly normal, but being heteroflexible, if people just charged me i think most of them would tell me i'm lieing or faking it because i wouldn't want to date most of them.

    Well you're free to call yourself heteroflexible or mostly straight, but I would say you also have every right to call yourself bi. You have a strong preference, but your attraction to girls is not insignificant, and you definitely don't have to be 50/50 to be bi. So it's definitely up to you what to call yourself, but if you want to call yourself bi and you're just worried other people will think you don't "count", I think you should go for it. "Bi with a preference for men" is a perfectly reasonable way to label what you've described to me. But so is heteroflexible or mostly straight, so it's up to you :slight_smile:

    of corse this is a real thing and we shold all except it all we want in this community is to be exepted ourselves so why shouldn't we except someone else all that just shows how excepting a straight person can be that would be ok to being with someone of the same gender and I am homofelxible so I cant really disagree with this lol

    There certainly are real Kinsey 1's and 2's, if that's what the question is meant to ask. Define "normal" and I'll answer that part.

    I can't see how "heteroflexible" could be hurtful to anyone...or offensive, except perhaps to people who dislike giving every possible distinguishable thing its own label (e.g., "I like men for sex, prefer women for a partnership, and I like apples and oranges, but am not as thrilled about bananas as most people seem to be...is there a label for this??")
