(Anonymous) 2012-09-21 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)I think in mainstream culture you might get people assuming you were gay/bi if they found out you were into slash, but I think that's because mainstream culture tends not to examine sexuality with any kind of detail of nuance. In fandom, where everyone is basically familiar with the idea of liking thinking about two people having sex with each other when you don't want to have sex with them yourself, I think almost everyone would identify you as straight.
I do think that 'what you like to ship in your porn' can be an aspect of your sexuality (TBH, I consider my slash shipping to be quite a significant part of mine), but we don't really have very clear cut language to describe out sexualities beyond the very basic 'who you want to have sex with' part of it. I totally get that saying "I'm straight" could feel like a kind of incomplete or misleading description of your sexuality overall, but it's probably the best way not to be misinterpreted in terms of who the people you actually want to sleep with are. And if you're having a more nuanced conversation about your sexuality, you can always explain.
