Shades of gray

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

To me, that comment is a real turn-on. Men who only participate in manly pursuits really don't have anything to talk to women about. The only conection is boinking, and just that gets awfully boring.

I honestly don't understand why women find men attractive. We're such obnoxious, smelly, hairy beasts.

I don't know, either. I guess the body parts fit together.

Jutst tone down the masculinity, guys. Really, you get so insecure-- I know, it is BY's culture.

On the other hand, I really don't respect a man who is totally ignorant about auto mechanics.

I have been pal-ing around with my son's GF, since he is temporarily-- absent-- and it is fun. I still don't know what he sees in her, but she is such a sweet spirit, you know.

LOL!

This is an interesting OP, Zee.

I have always thought that sexuality was really on a continuum. There are women I have found myself sexually attracted to, and even experimented a little in college. I have always found the female form very beautiful to look at..particularly some of the classic nude paintings and sculptures.

At the same time, I really could never imagine myself in a long-term relationship with a woman. I enjoy being married, and the male/female dynamic that goes along with it.

I think women feel this from a different point of view. A male's first emotional relationship is with a woman (his mother). A female's first emotional relationship is also with a woman (her mother). I think women in general feel a closer attachment to their own sex.

MCB,

I have a story for you. I recently visited the local fabric store looking for a seam binding. It is needed for gathers on a biased fabric. A first for me. I asked the lady behind the counter for it and she stared back at me in silence, as if something didn't register. I looked down, a little embarrassed because well, it's been many years since I spent much time in a fabric store and I was the only male there.

I started describing what it's used for, but I felt weird and gave up.

Then tonight, my 6-yr old son and I visited a much better fabric store, and we had the time of our life! This lady taught me all kinds of things and showed me the most glorious fabrics and notions. We spent time with these sheer silks and stretch meshes (for linings). She also suggested I teach my son how to make felt monsters. He was very happy about that. There was zero awkwardness and that made all the difference.

I share this story because it feels so amazing to not have bipolar worlds male and female. It feels so good to see everything as one. It is refreshing. Maybe it's heaven.

Zeezrom,

This spending time in a fabric store and enjoying it sounds serious. Perhaps you are 10% gay. Do consider.

I started thinking back on my life and came to a gentle realization that I am approximately 5% gay.

A few years ago some members of this forum were discussing their 5-10% gayness, but they talked about it in terms of man crushes. Apparently Mormon author Terryl Givens has enough magnetic attraction to invoke this response.

Nothing wrong with that. Why be judgmental about that when others failed to condemn thoughts of Juliann in a blue silk teddy, plushy fur costumes and robotic pleasure attachments? To each their own.

60% of the time, I'm gay all the time.

I'll settle for 7%

I can see why you were uncomfortable as LDS. The internet does wonders in blurring gender roles, for those who choose to use it that way. My grandfather was a tailor.

So I wonder how long it will be before Terryl Givens decides it is time to leave?
