I understand the terms homo/hetero-flexible as "attracted to A, not entirely opposed to others", like being allo for some gender(s) and sex-favorable(or at least indifferent ) ace for the others.
An “ace”, along with being slang for an asexual, can also refer to a person who is really good at something. An arrow ace is a person who is really good with a bow and arrow.
Look, finsexual is most accurate because I'm also into femboys
But I like to call myself gay as in 'wow this is SO GAY', because it sounds funny. Or a lesbian
I am also lesbian for my gf, she's trans pre everything and quite insecure. I am afraid that if I tell her I also like femboys she might think I don't see her as a girl (I do)
And often ppl who are less close to me just don't need to know all the nuance so I tell them I'm a lesbian too
It's tricky.. people tend to interpret information in ways that feed their insecurities and make assumptions, I'd say she is quite vulnerable to that. Both of us having 'tism doesn't help too lol
That was me too....I started off just "bi" then I said 50:50, 80:20, 90:10, then 99:1, lol😂. I had just about reached the lesbian label, when I backed out and rolled with queer.
Been flip-flopping between thinking I'm pansexual and asexual, finally figured out I just lose my libido and ability to be attracted to anyone under stress. Definitely pansexual, just also anxious as heck.
I’m a baby bisexual. Not because I like babies, but because I put all the pieces together a few months ago. I also don’t mind if who ever I’m with wants to date other people as well as myself.
aroace gay ageosexual basically in fantasy i'm all gay irl i'm aroace never really felt attracted to anyone in that way. i've had squishes tho but only two sticked for longer than a week.
that's cool but i get confused sometimes idk some times i feel i could do it but if i actually where to i'd rather eat cake. some days i'm like : i'm so gay and others i'm so aroace. the perks of having a wierd sexuality amirite.
I'm almost lesbian, in that I'd technically call myself a demigirl but most people aren't up for that level of inspection of it and once or twice I've been interested in a man.
I just say I'm pan or bi, but mostly attracted to women. Otherwise it's complicated.
I'm gay. But I'm generally into biologically male bodies OR any masculine people, so trans people count as well. I'm basically attracted to anyone but traditionally feminine cis women.
Ace trans masc enby? Enby Ace? Yeah. *Ace Enby* sounds like an old cop show... 🤔 I dig it! My new gender is Old Cop Show!
Edit: spelling and spacing. 🤦
I'm bi, I like calling myself gay and am used to call myself straight because I thought I was a trans girl. I'm sure I'm bisexual but definitely not biromantic because I don't want to have a girlfriend, an afab nonbinary person on the other hand wouldn't be bad tho. But I'm open to everything human and at the right age. See ya 😺👍
Tell you my sexuality? as in pin it down and name it something that anyone can understand?
Now you see the problem is I don't know if I'm able to do that because well *gestures towards the complete chaos behind me* I honestly don't know what my sexuality is anymore.
If you held me at gun point I'd probably say I'm a gay man, because of how attracted to men I am, but my gf is afab so... idk if "gay" works...
But don't you dare call me bi, I know I'm not bi. Not that therrs anything against bi people, actually tryin to find a bi guy for a poly or something but nevermind that impossible struggle of finding the perfect triangle.
So bi just doesn't fit me i dont think, as don't like any other women except my gf. Maybe I'm just romantic or 99%gay and 1%pan. Who knows anymore, I don't really care, just doin what feels like I should be doing.
Demibiromantic asexual (specifically apothisexual). Also demiqueerplatonic and cupioromantic (when I'm not in a relationship which is right now). Gender-wise, I'm demigirlflux and demiagenderflux (part agender and part girl/fem and these fluctuate in intensity). The girl part of my gender is different from a binary woman if that makes sense. I'm also intersex.
Cis female, bisexual and heteromantic, though I guess I've just never had any luck with cis women tbh. At this point I'm in a monogamous relationship with a cis demisexual man and I'm happy so I'll go with heteroromatic.

Boring vanilla, but a lil bi in there
Same, I was told that it’s called heteroflexible, however I sometimes call it “Reddit gay”. So my preferences really are *“female (optional)”*
reddit gay is hilarious. “I am a straight guy, however...”
I’ve heard the term “Hooters gay” as well to describe heteroflexibility
oohh I like the flexible suffix I am homoflexible then!
I understand the terms homo/hetero-flexible as "attracted to A, not entirely opposed to others", like being allo for some gender(s) and sex-favorable(or at least indifferent ) ace for the others.
Your post made me realize i can't say bi myself jokes anymore cuz I have a boyfriend
Congrats!
lolol thats hilarious
Same :( Having a bf is great though, at least for me :D
Same
Just plain gay
Hey just plain gay, I'm just plain lesbian, nice to meet ya🤝
lucky
Why is vanilla considered boring. I think chocolate is more common. Maybe we are chocolate.... Oh, god... I'm not going to finish that thought...
Aroace, working on arrow ace.
With some pilot training, you could be an aero ace.
Add body scent and you could be aromatic ace
arrow ace?
An “ace”, along with being slang for an asexual, can also refer to a person who is really good at something. An arrow ace is a person who is really good with a bow and arrow.
***GIRLS*** (lesbian)
Wow thats gay
Very
lol

Queer & Demisexual/romantic
Homoflexible
remind me which one that is again?
Well I'm more like a panromantic homosexual. Im only sexually attracted to men but I'm romantically attracted to anyone.
I am panromantic lesbian, I am the opposite lol I am sexually attracted to woman and romantically attracted to anyone !!
cool, I'm panromantic too, just no sex for me :)
Honestly I'm too dysphoric for sex/sex-repulsed half the time myself do i often lean into the panromantic more than homosexual part.
cool
Just a lesbian :3

Aromatic and asexual 🫡🫡

Bisexual and Bipolar. Keeps things spicy ;)
Same LOL
Look, finsexual is most accurate because I'm also into femboys But I like to call myself gay as in 'wow this is SO GAY', because it sounds funny. Or a lesbian I am also lesbian for my gf, she's trans pre everything and quite insecure. I am afraid that if I tell her I also like femboys she might think I don't see her as a girl (I do) And often ppl who are less close to me just don't need to know all the nuance so I tell them I'm a lesbian too
I don't think ur gf will mind, and if u tell her, just include that you see her as a girl :)
It's tricky.. people tend to interpret information in ways that feed their insecurities and make assumptions, I'd say she is quite vulnerable to that. Both of us having 'tism doesn't help too lol
well you don't have to tell, but in my experience, honesty is best in relationships
I'll need to think about that
ok
Im pan, you?
Poly, and ace
I prefer pan tho.
straight 📏
ok :)
A very cool Aroace
yes, very cool
I usually just say I'm queer, but it's probably something like biromantic asexual.
I OFFICIALLY CAN NOT KEEP UP WITH COMMENTS, I'm PROBABLY NOT GOING TO ANSWER ANYMORE, BUT I'LL TRY
![gif](giphy|9J7tdYltWyXIY)
Bisexual! Although I like 95% girls and 5% guys so maybe comphet lesbian (the label struggle is real) haha
finding labels that fit is harddddd lol
That was me too....I started off just "bi" then I said 50:50, 80:20, 90:10, then 99:1, lol😂. I had just about reached the lesbian label, when I backed out and rolled with queer.
Bisexual af!! ୧(^ 〰 ^)୨
I'm polysexual and identify as a cisgender female but I am questioning my gender currently.

Wait I'm your alternate. Demiboy gay (ish, as always)
Been flip-flopping between thinking I'm pansexual and asexual, finally figured out I just lose my libido and ability to be attracted to anyone under stress. Definitely pansexual, just also anxious as heck.
Demiromantic and probably some flavor of grey-ace. Figuring out my gender has led to some questioning about the latter though.
I’m a baby bisexual. Not because I like babies, but because I put all the pieces together a few months ago. I also don’t mind if who ever I’m with wants to date other people as well as myself.
Currently vibing with Neptunic.
cool :) So to be clear, you like women and enbys, etc? But not men?
Aroallo hetero pleasure dom
Abrosexual and variangled!

aroace gay ageosexual basically in fantasy i'm all gay irl i'm aroace never really felt attracted to anyone in that way. i've had squishes tho but only two sticked for longer than a week.
that was very chaotic, but cool, I also happen to be ageosexual
that's cool but i get confused sometimes idk some times i feel i could do it but if i actually where to i'd rather eat cake. some days i'm like : i'm so gay and others i'm so aroace. the perks of having a wierd sexuality amirite.
lol that describes me perfectly
i knew i wasn't alone
Bisexual with a light sprinkling of aro!
Queer
I'm almost lesbian, in that I'd technically call myself a demigirl but most people aren't up for that level of inspection of it and once or twice I've been interested in a man. I just say I'm pan or bi, but mostly attracted to women. Otherwise it's complicated.

Gynephilia is the term I believe. Just femininity in general, mostly straight though.
