Heh. Perhaps homosexuality and bisexuality (and any other sexuality for that matter) fall into the realm of fetish and should not be elevated beyond that.
Hmm.
"I have a fetish for slim, smooth, dark-skinned, young-looking men," is far more accurate for me to say than, "I'm a gay man."
Plus, I eliminate a need to label myself!
Ok, I'm gonna do that from now on.
"Are you gay or straight?"
"Nope."
"Well then, what are you?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Dunno, just a curious pain in your ass, that's all."
"Well, try to grok this; if you are wanting to know about my sexuality, I have a fetish for slender, smooth, young-looking, dark-skinned men. They could be asian, black, arabic or aboriginal."
"Ok, weird."
"Yup. Others have fetishes for ursine women, male-to-female transsexuals, very short people, hermaphrodites, and all manner of things."
"Dude, totally weird. I'm in love with Pamela Anderson."
"Then that's your fetish. You like statuesque women with false breasts and a predilection for making personal porn videos ... with perhaps a bit of star-lust thrown in for good measure."
"Man! That's me, exactly!"
"Glad I could help. Know any good slender, smooth, young-looking, dark-skinned men pubs?"
I like to say that I like all the chocolates in the box (with the exception of orange creams.)
But I do have certain preferences, too. Certain things which will push my buttons more intensely than others. Cute alternaboys. Tomboys with attitude. Lush, curvy redheads. Shorter people. Low body hair.
But, really, when it comes down to it, it's far less than physical. I know what I like to look at, but to get me to touch, the personality has to be there. Justin Timberlake, for instance, has a fantastic body, but he has oatmeal for brains and all the personality of a mop. Just doesn't give me a boner. On the other hand, I would totally do Ian McKellen because he is one of the coolest human beings on the planet. Even if he is older than my dad.
So perhaps I should say my fetish is for brains, heart and a sense of humor. After that, the physical stuff is just buttons to push to make someone feel good.

And there we have it ... my theory is standing up to the test of time (so far today) hehe ;) Go scientific method! And go me! (Out to dinner, that is!)
