SEXUALITY SPECTRUM, IN-DEPTH: I'm comfortable identifying as male, it's moreso the gender norms that I take issue with. Why can't men enjoy sexy underwear and still be considered "normal?" As far as orientation, if I trusted biological males more, I would probably be dead center there. But put it this way: I'm not offended when women are weary of me. My disdain is towards all the guys who ruin it for the rest of us. Attraction is the tricky one. At once I thought I was demisexual, but I did some intense research and found what I would only describe as the demisexual rulebook, which says that having sexual desire before the connection nullifies being demi. I would rather have the connection first, but if I made that a requirement then I would probably still be a virgin. My sex drive would be higher if I wasn't so burnt out trying to find a partner. Sometimes I even wish I had no desire, because it would just be easier than constantly getting rejected. My desire for romantic connection has always been higher than, or equal to my libido. I would only do a poly relationship, even though I know that means my partner will have way more sex than me. But I can't bottleneck someone else's sexual activity just because I'm envious that I'm not as much of a draw as they are.
