How would you feel if you didn't have a word to describe yourself?

Labels are sort of essential to identity and communication. The only people I've seen want to "do away" with labels are people who already have definite words to describe themselves. It's rather cruel to say that I can call myself gay, and somebody else can call themselves straight or bi or pan, but he can't call himself anything because he "doesn't need" a label.

Label=/=Orientation. You can only pop a boner whenever someone is wearing highheels that still does not make it an orientation.

No, that would be a fetish.

Are you saying he's an emotional fetishist?

Regardless: "Orientations" are how we define our sexualities; they are words we use to describe something. That is also known as a "label."

A sexual orientation, by definition, is the gender(s) a person is or is not attracted to. You can label yourself a heterosexual who only likes guys who you've befriended first, but you still aren't a special orientation.

Then what would you call a gender-neutral person who's only attracted to men?

Someone who is either homosexual or heterosexual. If they want to pretend they don't have a gender, then that's their business.

I really wouldn't care. I don't need to compartmentalize every aspect of my being, my personality into neat little names. I don't need to define myself with made-up words, to myself or to others.

There are plenty of gray areas - many in terms of sexuality alone. What do you call someone who only focuses on one gender now but experimented in college? A man who's into women but would accept blowjobs from men? A woman who's into men but loves the feel of other womens' breasts? Breaking down the nitpick points doesn't support, it divides.

Same here. Also I don't thin I can stress this enough: YOUR SEXUALITY ISN'T THE ONLY THING YOU ARE DEFINED BY!

And no one fits perfectly into one label, even people who consider themselves 100% straight, can find someone of the same gender attractive. Bisexuals might only want to have a relationship with one gender, but sex with both. A gay person, might have sex with someone of the opposite sex, but still define themselves as gay, not bisexual.

Why on earth do we need any more labels? Isn't the ones we got enough?
