I don't care about people's sexuality or sexual orientation. Look I do not care who you like or want to marry or have sex with.

No, I'm not trying to sound edgy by saying I don't care. I just don't understand the appeal of constantly talking about how you're gay, bisexual, asexual, etc.

It's like so many people have "verbal diarrhea" when it comes to sexuality. Just stfu. Please.

Does anyone else feel like this?

    I have experienced people doing this in regular life, and I agree, it can be really fucking annoying.

    Having said that, I'm sympathetic at the same time, OP. As a heterosexual, I had the luxury of being fairly open about my sexual development from an early age, because I felt no pressure to hide it or repress it. I was able to do everything from share my very first "crushes" with my friends, from talk about my insecurities and doubts and experiences with first time sex, etc etc. There are many people with alternative sexualities that never had that, so it might make sense that they overemphasize their sexuality or sexual orientation at some point, as it may be the first time they've been able to be completely open about it.

      I completely agree with that last part, Countess. Straight people don't have to "sexuality drop," as their sexuality is already assumed. When straight people go on and on about their crushes and sexual exploits, it's the same thing as someone talking about being gay or bi, except they don't have to preface it by mentioning their sexuality so everyone's clear and unconfused.

      OP, why is it you didn't include heterosexuality in your list? Bias. Obviously, you see your own sexuality as normal in others. The fact that you get annoyed with people talking about their non-hetero sexuality is probably because you've got some underlying homophobia. I think you're being really overly critical. Like Countess said, these people have dealt with a lot, and still deal with a lot in regard to their sexuality, so I think they have the right to feel open to discussing it in an environment free of prejudice. When sexual minorities are finally considered normal, maybe then you'll have the right to complain. Black people often talk about racism. Does that annoy you too? They live it everyday. It's relevant to them. This was really petty thing to base a topic on IMO.

      Here's another point of view for you. Asexual people are forced to listen to EVERYONE talking about sex constantly. It probably nauseates them or makes them feel like a freak or a baby. Have a little more empathy, OP, that's your issue. It's your right to voice your opinion, but don't expect everyone to agree with something so needlessly frivolous and narrow-minded as this.

    I bet you've never experienced any anxiety or insecurity or insulting prejudice about your sexuality, then. That's wonderful for you, but it doesn't reflect how others feel. They might have stories valuable to others who feel the same way, or feel helped by communicating as a practice to alleviate internal struggles, or wish to raise awareness about their minority. And talking does help. Do you think gay marriage would be being made legal in so many places around the world if no-one was talking? If you want a liberated world, you have to put up with the terrible horrors of other people talking about sex.

    You don't even have to listen. You are clearly very uncomfortable with expression of sexuality, especially non-hetero sexualities. Consider self-critically why you are so negative towards other people talking in a way that helps them and doesn't hurt you, when they can't even force you to listen.

    I don't usually hear people constantly talk about this except here.
    They ask here because this is a website for asking those questions.
    I know plenty of gay people in real life and not one of them constantly brags about being gay.

    I don't either. You're gay? Cool. I don't care, and why should I?

    I understand if they come out with it to family and friends and so on, but when they have to blast it everywhere it's just a "bleh" moment for me. I hate it when people use their sexuality for attention, and there's plenty of those people.

    Here's a tip for you, though...Never go to Tumblr...Seriously, those people make up such retarded orientations just for attention or they're mentally deranged.

      Thank you for the comment. It's nice to know that not everyone is a hyper-liberal, overly "open-minded" lunatic waiting to call someone "homophobic" at the smallest thing. SMH

        A demisexual is someone who is bordering on asexuality, but may develop attraction to someone when they get to know them. They are unlikely to notice people sexually the way most people do and are often indifferent to sexual and romantic ideas with few given exceptions,
        They will still have a predominant sexual preference and being demisexual is more of a subtype of the other labels.
        i actually felt identified as hetero-demisexual when I heard of it because it gave me a word to explain why I do not feel interest in random girls and am never interested in anybody until I have known them for a long time. The added definition gave me a term to explain something with one word instead of a paragraph, so I get why the terms exist, but I have rarely actually had to use the word in real life.

    It does seem someone honestly interested in the opinions of others on a subject might find more answers by doing a bit more searching, reading and less asking. This subject is posted so frequently, I imagine many who took the time to answer in depth some time back, are just tired of repeating themselves over and over again.
    Perhaps it isn't a matter of intolerance, just over saturation, as with any subject, but this one does come up quite frequently and gets less good answers each time.

    All this incest BS is pissing me off. But yeah, it's every day with the "is it normal that I'm gay" posts. Lol am I the only one that checks previous posts before I garble up everyone's time?
