p.s. The list seems to just list me as male. Well I am male, male and was bi but after having been in a male-male relationship the past 1.5 yrs, my like for boobies has declined somewhat, and my love of penis in my mouth has increased lol. I think I prolly have gone from 75-25 preferring guys to gals to 90-10 lol. I guess that makes me pretty gay too anymore :p
Because if it's the latter, then I'd like to use the term to refer to sexual attraction to awesome people (of whatever sex(es)/gender(s) one normally prefers).
If we can accept their definitions, though, then I want this one
And what's with all the new terms for sexuality of a sudden?
People realizing there's more things on the spectrum aside from "Straight" and "Gay", likely.
Or if you're one of those people who posts on the internet but absolutely hates the internet, you could say it's spergy tweens trying to be more speshul than they really are. Up to you, honestly.
In my experience the typical CoD playing 14 year old doesn't call anyone anything but "fag" and variants thereof.
Anyway, some of the labels are valid, and others are just kind of silly.
I'm not a fan of labelling people either, but there are contexts where it's appropriate, or at least convenient to be able to do so.
Well it's slightly different. Music genres are arbitrary by their very nature and exist mostly for ease of reference. It's easier to tell someone you like rock n' roll as opposed to tell them you like "music with lots of guitars, often electric, with a strong percussive element."
I don't know where I was actually going with this.
Haven't you heard? That's a branch of sociology. Therefore it is not real science.Yeah, but the question then becomes at what point does classification stop and over-classification start?
I'm sure there are some people who would debate with you til they're blue in the face about the difference between grindcore metal and deathcore metal, but that doesn't mean I could tell you the difference.
Omnisexual as I understand it just basically means you'll bang anything of any gender. I think the difference between that and Bisexuality is that with the latter, you're implied to "only" be attracted to "ordinary" men and women, while leaving out say, crossdressers.
Do not know what a Demisexual is though.
Okay for one thing, that's completely missing the point of what I said.
For another, I'm not going to listen to those songs but I seriously doubt I could tell the difference. Metal in my mind is in four quadrants. "Fast", "Slow", "Has Growling" and "Does Not Have Growling". I cannot make heads or tails of anything else there.
I wasn't paying attention though, i was too busy listening to that AWESOME BREAKDOWN.
@ Frosty: I think subgenre labels are useful if you want to be specific; terms like "rock", "hip-hop" and "electronica" are sufficiently broad that liking some of it doesn't imply liking all or even most of it. So if you like grindcore but you specifically don't like deathcore you'll presumably want to specify, even if the distinction is lost on people insufficiently familiar with either genre.
Although if you're talking about "Nu French Gothic Sludgewave Darkcore Hop" you're probably a musician facetiously describing your own style, since that's crazy specific. And I agree that arguing about what genre fits a specific song the best is kind of silly.
I don't think that's meant to be an exclusive label (like say, Gay and Straight). It really sounds more like something that'd be used by someone compiling a profile.
Instead of saying that you're a Bisexual who likes casual sex (I'm sure there is a somethingsexual for "likes casual sex" too, but I don't know it), the hypothetical profiler here wants to indicate you need an emotional bond first, thus, "Demisexual Bisexual".
All that said, while that is certainly a valid use, anyone trying to use it in everyday conversation is just being silly, especially if they give someone else shit about not using it.
