Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Why or why not?

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

100% polar opposite. In real life I'm not attracted to anything. In fiction no fictional combinations bother me, so I'm happy to enjoy them all.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

My real life track record is 95% lesbian, but 95% of what I read is m/m. I think it's just because same-sex stuff is attractive to me. I think if I were a dude, I'd still be gay. It's that het does nothing for me.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Not really, haha. I'm a lesbian, but I ship a little bit of everything. If a relationship sparks for me, the genders of the characters involved don't really mean a whole lot to me.

That said, I do think I gravitate a little more towards m/m, for similar reasons to today's secret-maker: there's a layer of fantasy there that I can't have in pairings with women, because if m/m is written unrealistically (but hotly), I don't know the difference. If m/f or f/f is written unrealistically (but hotly), as much as I love to go with the flow of porn, I have that moment of "I have never experienced [x] in that way" that kind of takes me out a little bit.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[bur]

Nope. I'm asexual, and mostly read m/m because the lack of women means I don't have to put up with the same kinds of expectations in my fic as I do IRL and still get my romance fix.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[philstar22]

Eh. I'm bisexual. When it comes to shipping, I'm all over the map, but I have more M/M ships than anything else. And when it comes to erotica, at this point I read mostly M/M and F/F (or same sex moresomes). Just, a lot of m/f sex in fics is boring. I do tend to only read porny fics If I'm into at least one of the characters. But I have quite a few ships where I'm not actually attracted to anyone involved.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Um...sort of? I'm asexual and don't ship anything in a sexual way. Romantically, any gender combination is fine as long as I like the character dynamics.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm bi in a hetero relationship and I pretty much read slash and femslash. Having sex with girls IRL is something I really miss, so it's my way of getting that fix, I guess. :/

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[unspeakablyevil]

I'm straight and female. I used to be into a lot of m/m but have since moved onto m/f. ...These days I'm particularly interested in the male party being a monstrous entity, though not always. The woman doesn't have to be Hollywood-beautiful but I still like it when she's attractive to me.

I tend to identify with both sides of the ship, sometimes more with the male side.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not attracted enough to men to read m/m. I like f/f and m/f equally, but I really need to like both characters a lot to ship something and for whatever reason that seems rarer in m/f than f/f.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[nightscale]

I'm bi and I ship m/m, f/f and m/f, but honestly it's the dynamic and how the characters interact that matter to me more than anything else. I just don't care if it's a man and woman, two dudes, or two women. Anthing's game!

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

yep. male with 0% interest in ladyparts, always ship m/m

I mean there's a few het ships I can nod sagely at and approve, but I would never want to see or read the actual day to day mechanics of those two people being in love, having sex, or otherwise doing whatever it is that couples do.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Lesbian and like 98% into f/f. The other 2% are mostly comprised of childhood get ships.

The less dudes in my shipfics, the better.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Not really? I'm female and ace/aro, but I love both sex and romance in fiction. I ship m/m and m/f, but have yet to ship f/f.

I think even though I'm not attracted to anyone on a personal level, some vestigial part of me is still kinda het, and maybe that's why I'm not drawn to f/f. I don't really know though.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[tabaqui]

Nope.
I'm bisexual, but i have zero interest in having sex with anyone ever again.

I read M/M almost exclusively; some F/F, and a very few M/F, but I skip the intimate parts; i'd prefer a fade to black in that area.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[rosehiptea]

I'm female and mostly gay or at least partly. And I ship mostly f/f these days, which lines up in a sense. I have shipped mostly m/f in the past, when I thought I was straight, and m/m generally does nothing for me. I have a few m/m ships but... very few, and they're not popular ships. I love female characters and fics with them.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly. I'm not super interested in guy/guy and I'm a lesbian. But I will do girl/guy, but prefer girl/girl.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. I'm a straight woman and I ship everything as long as it has chemistry there. Two people who are into each other are hot, regardless of the genders involved.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

I've written m/f, f/f, m/m, xeno, poly, and asexual relationships, so I'm not sure which line to use here.

Re: Does your shipping preferences line up with your sexual orientation?

[(Anonymous)]

I guess. IRL I don't really want or enjoy sex. I prefer fantasies which are more fulfilling and less messy. All my ships are het, majority of them being older man/younger woman.

What products, shows, whatever that no longer exist (or are putting out new stuff)...

[(Anonymous)]

Do you miss?

Confessions?

[(Anonymous)]

Here's my stupid confession: I only changed my name because the name my parents gave me has letters I have real trouble pronouncing. They didn't believe me when I told them this, so the cover story is that I wanted to be known by something more gender neutral.

Now I'm accidentally ID-ing as non-binary because it was less embarrassing than having to explain time and again that no, my name isn't "Lachel", I just can't say letters properly.

On the plus side, my new name makes it much easier to talk to people. There are still lots of words I try to avoid saying though.

Rec/Requests

[philstar22]

For all your request and recommendation needs.

[(Anonymous)]

Let's see... I used to identify as asexual, but I think 10 years after I started writing about my ships, my curiosity got piqued and maybe I just had a late awakening. It is hard to admit that, but I was raised southern Baptist and that didn't help my repression. I had crushes on men that went nowhere because I couldn't entertain the thought of anything sexual without deep fear and body horror (pregnancy, penises were scary, etc...). But I shipped m/f and loved it. I didn't realize until in retrospect I had a lot of crushes on girlfriends, but very specific ones. And one of them got me into slash. Got me to not be so close minded. On my own I actually started shipping women and became ok with my orientation gradually because I started realizing I really liked both dick and vagina, I was just too grossed out by it all this time. So now I'm just sexually frustrated and ship anything that has chemistry. It's been a wild ride to get here emotionally, but really made me sympathetic to other people's orientational journeys, too.
