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?"
