I know there's a stickied "FAQ: Orientation" here already, but I wanted a little more detail pertaining to things like male/female and such within the orientations. Therefore, I start this poll with the hope in mind that no one flames and it doesn't get deleted >.<

If I missed anything, I'm really sorry!

You can take the "leaning toward" things in the bisexual parts to mean any degree of leaning--strongly or weakly.

Make sure you don't accidentally make yourself female if you're male, or vice-versa! :lol: Oh, and it's "gender," meaning whatever sex YOU see yourself as. If you can't decide, just say what your biological gender is.

Other, I guess...? I don't consider myself bi-romantic as such seeing it isn't so much that I can care for both genders, it's just that gender doesn't even register. :? I only pay enough attention to it to know if I'm with a she, he, or they.

I'm female, by the way. Biologically and by mind.

I think you're pansexual if you don't pay attention to gender....but you might want to wiki it yourself, just to make sure.

I clicked pan - I have no leaning to individuals based on gender at all, so, I'll click on 'all' - potentially.

And I'm female btw.

(You forgot androgenous/agender types! :?)

Um...usually people have a biological gender or a preferred/mental gender (like transexuals), right? Or wrong, I'm not that knowledgeable...

Voted other as well. My view is pretty similar to Hayley's.

I'm biologically female and mentally androgenous, but leaning heavily toward male.

I seem to be consistently drawn toward androgenous-gendered men.

(This is a pattern that has existed throughout my life, but I was totally blind to it until fairly recently.)

I'm not sure exactly which option to choose.

If you identify as male, then you should choose male; homo-romantic. If you can't decide on male or female, then choose your biological: female; hetero-romantic.

What do you guys think; should I stick with gender or go with biological gender?

Female, aromantic asexual.
Look at that, another! That's quite a few more than I expected. I actually thought there would be more male aromantic asexuals. Now I'm really glad I made this quiz, it's already provided me with info.

I put female; aromantic asexual.

I'm not really sure about the aromantic part, though. I've never had feelings I associated strongly with romance or wanted to pursue a romantic relationship, but I have thought about one person, "If she asked me out, I think I'd say yes and see how it goes."

But, since I feel I could fairly easily go through life without a romantic partner, I'll say aromantic.

Well we do have a couple of intersexed AVENites here... so, no, not really ^___^

I voted female, homo-romantic, but I'm androgynous...

I have figured it out ... it varies slightly, but today I am androgenous and homo-romantic.

(Although I don't particularly like the normal connotations associated with the term "romantic" I realize that we interpret it differently than most people.)

Male; hetero-romantic sexual, but not sure what all the fuss is about regarding sex.

A sexual who doesn't see the big concern with sex? :shock: It's a bloody miracle.

I had to pick other. I am an aromantic woman, mostly only interested in women for friendship, but nothing romantic, with either gender.

I think I may have a brand new orientation sexually though. I am only comfortable with sexuality if it's male/male. (Kind of an intellectual attraction, nothing in the body). I do not want to be a male.

Needless to say, I don't actually want to DO anything, but M/M seems "right" to me, not gross in the way that M/F and F/F do.

(I am not trasgendered or intersexed at all, am strongly gendered as female, biologically and psycologically)

Hm...so you're an aromantic sexual, basically? Lots of women, as seen lately, have been attracted to male/male writings and such. I think it has the same kind of appeal that lesbians have to horny males or something. But your case sounds a bit different in that you sound as though you don't want to do anything with guys or gals. Interesting, though.

I definitely consider myself asexual, but romanticism... is something best left to Schubert? Okay, okay, that was a horrible joke. I have a need to partner with someone in a mutually beneficial relationship, but not so much in a romantic relationship. Either type of relationship is fine, but I really only need to have someone around. Interestingly, men and women are equally attractive to me from an aesthetic standpoint, but I only view men as potential life parters (for lack of better term). I objectify women, I guess?

For now I'll consider myself an aromantic asexual, but I have a feeling that hanging around a romantic long enough would corrupt me. The arbitrary amount of time known as "long enough" would probably be a very long time, however.

I'm a hetero-asexual female, I've got that part figured out. I'm just not sure if I'm aromantic or not. Most of the time the idea of someone liking me or of me liking someone sickens me, but then other times (rarely), it doesn't sound so bad. I'm confused on that part.

yay! i'm the only male trying to figure "it" out. at least i've ruled "it" down a bit given the ever-broadening spectrum of choices.

Hey CopyFox,

(Sorry, can't figure out the quote function)

No, I still think I am aromantic and asexual... in that I have no personal desire to be sexual with anyone M or F, including myself. I think I just find female bits & bobbles unappealing. Since the M/M esthetic contains none of that, it doesn't gross me out. I think part of it is that I can't visualize myself in the picture, which also makes it more appealing.

But it's kind of appealing like art, or sculpture, I don't know, not something appealing to my body, just my mind.

I wouldn't watch gay male porn for example, I am not physically aroused, which is what porn seems to be for, I'm just not grossed out.

M/F porn actually makes me feel sick. F/F too.

No doubt a therapist would have a field day with this...
