I like women. I like the shape and curves of the female body. I like boobs, I like asses, I like pretty vaginas. I also appreciate and am aroused by a nice cock. I'm however not otherwise attracted to the male body. I like femboys as long as they have a feminine-like shape and curves, as many of them do.

WTF is my sexual orientation?

I once read a personal ad - "single white female, 8 inch clit"

We have too many labels. You're a human who knows what you like today. It's ok if something totally different floats your boat tomorrow.

[-] WeeSheep@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

That is the best thing I've read all day. 10/10 personal ad

[-] Talaraine@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

Totally agree. I'm not sure why everyone focuses so hard on determining how many letters there are in their alphabet. 5 years from now it might be totally diff. It would be so refreshing if people simply said "Here's what floats my boat today"

Strictly speaking, that's simply bisexual. Femboys are boys. That being said, there is no "correct" answer here that anyone else can give you.

The correct label is the one that helps you navigate the world and your own needs the best. If bisexual fits, congrats, that's it. If it doesn't, it's not, and your search continues :)

Idk, sexual orientations are just labels we make up to make sense of the world.

"Femmesexual" sounds kind of cool though.

Who cares what label people might put on it?

Just like what you like. It doesn't need a label.

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 10 months ago

I guess you're some flavor of bisexual as you are attracted to some men (based on the femboy remark) though you've got a distinct preference for femininity even in men. If you go scrolling through old Tumblr posts long enough you'll probably find a term someone coined back in 2013 for your exact orientation... But, like, IDK man don't overthink it. If anyone asks just say whatever feels right in that moment, straight/bi/pan/whatever.

And remember saying you identify with a particular orientation isn't some huge commitment. Saying you're bi (for instance) doesn't mean you're attracted to all men, and no reasonable person would expect that. We all have preferences within our orientation.

AITA?

No. You're figuring it out. It's okay to not have all the answers

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Edit: dear learned and thoughtful internet friends, here “sexual” functions as a self-deprecating double entendre, the thinly veiled meaning of which is “attraction irrespective of sex or gender” or, in the common tongue, “colossal whore.”

So I am altering this comment for clarity. Pray I do not alter it any further.

If anyone asks just say whatever feels right in that moment, straight/bi/pan/whatever.

Especially in mixed company, my go-to is *-sexual where the wildcard * is silent. Those who don’t know will hear a non-answer to a rude question, but your friends will recognize it as candor.

It also sidesteps the tiresome bi/pan distinction and avoids the least favorable option: “straight.”

Hey I've got the same preferences as you. I just go with bisexual and call it a day.

What you are today is not what you'll be tomorrow. Let yourself be. You don't owe explanations to anyone about what you like.

As if there could be such a thing!

[-] Flip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 10 months ago

What incredibly enough hasn't been brought up yet, is the distinction between gender preference and genital preference. In heteronormativity they're assumed to be the same, but in reality they're not. This way of thinking also lends itself to the flexibility you're describing; note the word "preference".

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 10 months ago

I personally struggled for a long time trying to find the right label for my gender and sexuality. In the end, the right label for both is "just me". Whatever I'm attracted to is what I'm attracted to. Whatever I feel like on a certain day is what gender I am. Just me doing me things

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

I have a friend like you. He describes himself as gynesexual. He's attracted to femininity no matter what the attached bits are.

But, as others have said, the label is really only important to you. Pick something close or make up your own.

Sounds like you are very similar to me and a billion or so other people. I don't see much point in creating a label for yourself in order to restrict yourself to that label. You are what you are and don't worry about it. I had a thing with a trans woman for a while and now I'm happily married with kids. Whatever I am has never had a negative affect on my life because I don't worry about what I am.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

I'm very tired and I misread the title to say you like to cook, so I was going to suggest you're a foodsexual

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

[-] nicolauz@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

The only thing I'm commenting on is the "AITA":

If anything then only for asking that question - don't be mean to yourself like that.

[-] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Humans aren't attracted only to genitalia since that shit is hard to see from afar, evolutionarily it makes sense we'd find secondary sexual characteristics attractive also, overall body shapes, hair, skin etc.

So you don't like penises per se, you like penises when attached to otherwise people who tick those feminine boxes you care about whether they be trans or just crossdressers.

That's actually really common I find because almost every single man I dated gave that same take, they all considered themselves straight and were never with a trans woman before me.

I'd say you're pretty much just straight with a specific penis fetish, even bi people IRL generally date people who are all the way masc and all the way fem.

Not to gatekeep being bi though if that's what you feel more comfortable with - go for it.

Otherwise just love who you love and move on with it.

[-] WeeSheep@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I would argue I can be romantically attracted to people but sexually I want specific things, and they don't necessarily overlap.

Romantic boob fondling is nice, but I don't need them for sexual attraction. Penises are sexually nice but I'm not romantically attracted to them. That's to say, I'm explicitly sexually attracted to penises.

Luckily, I find multiple things romantically and sexually attractive, not just boobs and penises (which would really limit my options).

I am not always romantically and sexually attracted to the same person. Some people I'm only sexually attracted to and some people I'm only romantically attracted to.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

I long ago decided that is humans aren't attracted to "male" or "female", we're attracted to "masculinity" or "femininity". Gender has nothing to do with it.

It's why, like you, I can be attracted to a feminine looking trans woman, but not a masculine looking one, or a dude.

it's why homosexuals can be masculine or feminine (bear or boujee), and be attracted to one or three other, or both.

Masculinity and feminity has nothing to do with whether one has a cock or a vagina.

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago

Masculinity and femininity are broad terms that encompass physical and social traits. I don't think it's possible to narrow it down quite like you have there.

My own experience of attraction has very little to do with social presentation of masculinity or femininity for example.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Sexuality is a spectrum that doesn't have clean boundaries. Some people exist in an area that could be considered "straight," for example, but there aren't hard walls blocking straight people from leaving or queer people from entering.

The less you try to define your sexuality and the more you try to be comfortable with liking what you like, the happier you'll be.

[-] Diotima@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

You may be finsexual:

https://queerdom.fandom.com/wiki/Finsexual

Basically, finsexuals are attracted to feminine presenting people independent of sex or gender. If I understood you correctly, its the feminine presentation that appeals to you?

From the title I thought it's being attracted to finances. Or fins.

Seems to me you are attracted to feminine genders. Assuming you are male I’d say your sexual orientation is pretty straight.

My personal preference of naughty bits is Boobs, Cock, Woman-Ass, Man-ass, and Pussy. (Most attractive to least). I'm also theoretically attracted to pretty much anyone but emotional bonds really get my motor running.

I just say I'm Pan and leave it at that - labels rarely fit precisely.

[-] SendMeYourTatas@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Thank you for asking this. I'm the same way but never got around to asking. I also like trans women as well (not just sexual), so there's that. Best of both worlds imo lol

[-] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

You get out there and suck a few girl cocks. Only then will you know the truth of your desires. I mean how bad could it be? Personally wouldn't worry about it. If the dude who's cock you're sucking thinks you're not gay then I would trust him.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's called bisexual, it's not all black and white, it's more of a rainbow gradient of sexuality.

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Pansexual. You are pan. You're attracted to what you're attracted to but don't care what label it has.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 10 months ago

I've heard the term heteroflexible. Maybe that suits you. But in the end I think labels aren't really necessary. You like what you like. And there are so many facettes to that it is probably impossible to invent a label for everything that is possible.
