People are still having sex

Lobster's Sexuality

I've always taken sexuality to mean one's attitude towards sex, not so much whether one likes to have sex with women or men. Growing up in a very catholic household, sex was not a topic we discussed openly, in fact, I was not allowed to play with my sisters because boys and girls are not supposed to play together. This is a great background for developing sexual hang-ups, and I hope I don't have any but I have yet to get a chance to find out. I don't think that in and of itself is a hang-up, because in my life I have yet to receive an opportunity that I was comfortable accepting. I must admit I've never actively looked for a partner but I'm not sure where I would go to meet women in that context where I would feel comfortable. Also I don't feel terribly comfortable with myself physically and I can't decide if I'm being shallow or realistic when I say that I don't see anyone having any interest in me sexually till I become height-weight proportional.

My insistence on becoming physically attractive before finding a mate does not keep me from making friends of the opposite sex, but it certainly makes that friendship difficult when I find myself very attracted them. Fortunately this doesn't happen often, unfortunately it happens with the people I would most like to be friends with.

If you have not guessed already my orientation is Heterosexual but I really don't like having to tell people that, it's hard to explain but if you're curious about why, feel free to check out my position on homosexuality.

I guess what I try to do when it comes to my sexual attitude is find a happy medium between the ultra conservative way I was raised in which one doesn't talk about it ever and nudity is a really bad thing and the ultra liberal mentality in which specifics about sexual practices become acceptable distinctions between people. I don't just randomly pick bits and pieces of both positions, I try to take everyone's views into account and try to strike a balance between respect and tolerance.

A healthy personal relationship between a man and a woman is an important aspect of the human experience, it is an important part of one's mental development. I look forward to such a relationship more so than I look forward to sex.
