Hi Moon&MoonBaby~
sorry that it didn't go so well with your brother,
Clock is sure he will come around.

Clock: I sure hope he will. =[ He better!
I'm still the same Luna that he grew up with, he just knows the real me now, if that makes any sense. Nothing has changed, honestly.

-nods-
that's what bothers Clock a lot about certain people,
sexual preference/sexual orientation, does not define a person,
it is merely a part of them.

Clock: Omg! I totally agree!

Hey everybody.

Hello. =]

Random-ish, but am I the only one who actually really hates that we label ourselves by sexual orientation?

I mean...there's kind of a lot more to most of our relationships than sex...

Moonlit Freedom: Awh, hun... I'm sorry your brother did that. I hope he comes around soon. At least his wife supports you.

Stellar Delusion: I do see your point on that. However, sexual orientation doesn't NECESSARILY mean SEXual orientation. It simply means the physical sex or presented gender that you find physically attracted to. You know? But there IS a distinct difference between sexual orientation and romantic orientation. It's just, in most people, the sexual orientation and the romantic orientation are in sync. Not always the case, by any means, though. For example, one of my close friends identifies as panromantic, but asexual. And she clarifies that. But me, myself, I am panromantic AND pansexual, and tend to simply say I'm pansexual because it's more universally understood (though "pan" ANYTHING isn't very widely understood. ). What do you identify as, Stellar, if anything specific? :P

What do you all think of my avatar?

Alice: Ugh, at least I have the support of one of them. That's something at least, right?

Oh man I forgot to comment on your avatar. I really really REALLY love it, actually.

Thanks! =] I had fun putting it together last night when I couldn't sleep. =]
I decided it was time for a change. =]
And what better than to go with Bi-pride!

HeartMoogle: Yeah, but it doesn't help the promiscuity stereotype. Which is something I really wouldn't care about...as long as we didn't live in a society that views sex as shameful and sinful and evil and dirty. When we've got people trying to find any reason to say our relationships are "less legitimate" than theirs and therefore should remain so legally...it's not very helpful. >_<

I'm not really sure what to label myself, quite honestly. "Bi" is better understood, and it can be accurate - I like both people who are the same gender as me, and people who are not. But I still don't like terminology which is misunderstood to enforce the gender binary. I mean...even though I do identify firmly on one side of it, I don't exactly conform to the standards applied to me. My primary partner is a trans man with an intersex condition. One of my other partners is a genderfluid female, and another is, like me, a guy who wears dresses (...I only do for special occasions though; they just feel more appropriate to me than a suit; they can be so expressive while a suit is so...bleh).

But I don't really like "pan" either because no one really understands that, and those who do tend to think I'm just trying to be a special snowflake or some other bullshit. But then again, that tends to happen with any non-monosexual/monoromantic orientations...it just happens more if you don't use the terms that everyone knows and likes.

@Moon: I love your avatar. It is amazing. I might be saving it and drawing it, if you want me to!

Omg, I hate the fact that people find out that I'm Bi, and they instantly think that I'm up for sleeping with any and everyone! *bangs head into the wall* Gahhhhh... pisses me off! Not that I go out advertising myself as Bi, but I don't really hide it (unless it's around my parents).

Although right now if you ask me, I'm more of an Asexual Bi... I do like both sexes, but I'm definitely not interested in much at the moment. xD Haha!

Stellar: Oh, if you want to do that, feel free! =]

It's even worse when you're not only polysexual, but polyamorous. No, that does not mean no holds barred philandering. That does not mean I want to sleep with some douchebag who hasn't showered in a week and wants a drunken experiment. That does not mean I want to sleep with the entire cheerleading squad. It doesn't mean I want to screw or date everything with a pulse, it just means that we don't limit each other. Not because we just need to be with as many people as possible, but because...I dunno, it just feels weird to us to say that our relationships rely on none of us ever developing feelings for another person ever.

I have a family, not a harem. No, I don't want a harem either.

Ugh! I had someone tell me about a month ago, that just because one man has done me wrong (my ex boyfriend who got me pregnant and when I told him that I was pregnant and she was his, that he told me that there was no way it could be his.... When I know it's his... Because I've only slept with him since we got together... ) doesn't mean I need to swear off all men.... Um, seriously?! Who is he (I don't know him and he doesn't know me). *bangs head into wall*
Some people are just un-godly irritating!

I want a family too, but that doesn't mean that I want one right now. I need to focus on myself and on my daughter.

...wooow, that guy...way to make asinine assumptions, pal.

And why was he so convinced that the baby couldn't be his? Has he had an orchidectomy? Because that's about the only way for that to be impossible...

Totally agree with you, I do have reasons for being the way that I am, and it just pissed me off..

Oh, he's since then admitted that he knows that she is his (it took me getting a paternity test to get him to do it though) and I've gotten him to sign off all legal rights to her because I don't want him in contact with her at all. And in response to your question as to why he was trying to convince me - because he's a complete and utter jerk. But we've been doing all we can to make sure that he has no legal rights to her that we can.

I have a girlfriend when I was married and people would always question that or assume I was cheating when that wasn't the case. She lived with my husband and I and the relationship I had with her was just like any other one. People just don't understand relationships like that.

-rolls around-

*roles clock up in rug*

Oh goodness I come back to all of this discussion. Haha.

On my behalf I really don't care what people think about my sexuality unless they are ignorant about it.
One thing I hate though is when you get hate from the community who are supposed to love each other.
I recently posted a picture about just because I am pansexual doesn't mean I want to (excuse my French) fuck everyone I meet. Then a girl decided to call me out and say that my sexuality isn't even real.
Oh people these days.

Anyways, I myself am giving out a page prize on page 300. It will be small but as this thread grows It will get bigger.
:P

HeartMoogle: should be okay with that. Right Alice?

People don't get what "pansexual" means most the time. I see people using it more and more though, which I find to be a good thing. I used to use it to identify myself with until I realized it's not the best term to use in my case. Whenever I'd say it to someone they'd be like "you're bisexual" or ask me what it means.

-flails-
ACK.
-is stuck in a rug-
; n;

Hopefully it's a soft rug and not one of those icky scratchy ones. o.o

it's suffocating.
