roygbiv said:There are only two genders on this planet, and the phobia and stewed truths that surround both are ridiculous and futile; yet so many people are insistent on maintaining these lies. Life is a journey, and thus sexuality is also a jouney. I think to a degree, every single person feels attracted to both in some way. No one is 100% fixed either way.
This is interesting because I hear this all the time, but I don't think attraction necessarily means sexual attraction. People are attracted to good looking people regardless of the gender. People, unirregardless of gender (double redundancy), want to be close to good looking people. People that are good looking have higher social standing and socializing with them has benefits from a survival stand point. Hang with the successful ones in your species and you will be in a higher acheiving crowd.
I feel no attraction to men. Certainly there are degrees for many people, but men just don't do it for me in the slightest. If it is "normal" for you to be attracted, even ever-so-slightly, to men, so be it, but if it isn't "normal" it doesn't really matter either way. I don't think everyone is a little bit gay. I hear the word "love" get bandied about in conversations about gay marriage in particular. It is odd, because being sexually attracted to someone has little to do with love. There are plenty of women that I'm pretty sure I would despise if I heard them talk but that I still think about taking every which way but loose. Everyone can love everyone, but I don't think sexual attraction has any place in love.
As for sex and psychedelics I find that my animal pleasures seem to lose more meaning that anything else. I live my highest and most noble values much better than while sober. I've had mind-blowing shower sex on LSD, but the connection wasn't as strong as it normally is. My mind was far too distracted to live completely in intimacy. However I think we ended up going at it about 6 times from that evening until morning so it can't be all bad.
Peace,
