I figured that this journal is a great place to put ideas about myself so when I finished my sexuality paper for my class I felt that I should put it on here for posterity sake. So here it is behind a cut so as not to clutter up peoples friends page...
Defining my sexuality has actually been one of the most difficult tasks I have given myself to date, hence why this paper is actually so late. If asked maybe as short as two years ago I would have simply said I was a fag (my personal preference to describe myself as a homosexual) and been done with it. Now however I realize it just is not that simple. In the end I felt it came down to four topics that help me narrow down what it might mean to me, gender/biology, who I date/love, who I have sex with, and who I play with.
I was born male to two parents that fully believed that they were going to have a daughter because the ultrasounds were all inconclusive and my momâs gut instinct said I would be a girl. I honestly feel that they did not particularly try to raise me female, but I also know that âmalenessâ wasnât forced on me either. Looking back on my childhood I would say I was raised very gender neutral. The walls of my room were painted yellow and all accents were a mix of primary colors. Clothing-wise it was always just t-shirts and pants/shorts, no suits, sailor outfits or dresses. My parents obliged me with what ever toys I wanted from toy cars to an easy bake oven. I donât know if they consciously did it or not but my parents raised me to follow both gender roles and ideals of recreation, sports, video games, baking, crafts/sewing work. I would say then that I am indeed a proud owner of a penis, so biologically I am ok with the fact that I am biologically male. Gender is a little harder for me to pin down, so for this stage in my life I would say I classify myself as androgynous.
In my short 28 years of life I would say that I have dated (for the case of my thinking and this paper that simply means going on more than one date with someone), eight people. Two of them were female and 6 were male. Only three of those eight, I would actually consider an actual relationship though. Of those three one was with a female and the other two were male. Each of those three I can honestly say that I have fallen in love with them, but each on a different level. Melissa was the first person that I ever dated and my love for her has become that of a family member. I can not imagine my life without her in it because she has very much become not only a best friend, but a sister to me. My relationship with Tom started out as a Dominate/submissive relationship that became a romantic one that finally melded into a friendship. My love of him would be one of deep friendship. The only person that I can say that I have ever actually been romantically in love with would be Tim. He is the person that I consider my first true love. I can say with all honesty that I still do love him, and wish him nothing but happiness. Now looking at that history, what does that say about my sexuality?
Well I think that when it comes to love gender is irrelevant and I would hope I wouldnât let love slip past me because of someoneâs gender. However, all of my most recent relationship possibilities have been with men, and Iâm very ok with that. Therefore I see romantically/dating wise Iâm gay.
Now when it comes to sex, I can definitely say that I have done some very sexual thing with people of all varying types of gender. However, when it comes down to what I consider to be my three main ideals about sex (vaginal, anal, and oral) I have only ever had sex with men. Iâm not going to say that Iâm only sexually attracted to men, but they are what really get me excited. When I think about what is attractive to me, it tends to be very masculine features for example body/facial hair and larger muscular/beefy builds. Not to mention the sight of or even thought of a real nice cock starts to get my mouth watering and own dick hard. I greatly love menâs cock and especially going down on it. I would probably say that I enjoy giving head more than any other sexual act. In regards to anal sex I have tried it both as a top and a bottom, and greatly prefer bottoming. So when it comes to sex, I would call myself a cock-sucking bottom.
I very much see BDSM as a part of my sexuality, but like many other aspects of my sexuality it has changed over the years. When I first came into the scene I felt I was only bottom. At that time I was of the mindset that that automatically meant I was a submissive too, and that it was strictly a precursor for sex so I would only want to play with men. I donât think any of that is true anymore. Yes I still love bottoming and consider myself a little piggy sensation slut, but I have also discovered an enjoyment and ability as a top. I would not say that I consider myself a switch but if the right situations present themselves I very much can play the role. Having developed this new skill and my relationship with Tom helped me break my other preconceived notions about dominant and submission. I firmly believed that being a bottom meant you had to be submissive. I could act out the part of a good submissive and do a damn good job at it, it never really felt apart of me. When ever I took on a more dominant role though I felt very comfortable and enjoyed that part. It took me almost 5 years to convince myself that it is possible to be a dominant bottom; it is just a little harder to find submissive tops. The last part of my original concept was quickly torn apart with my first BDSM weekend event, Sampler. It was there that I learned that play does not have to lead to sex and can be done with anyone of any gender or sexuality type. A perfect example of this is puppy play. The concept of having sex while in pup space is something I will not even consider, and Iâve had handlers of all types at events. Over the years Iâve played with gay, straight, bi, male, female, and transgender players. All that matters to me now is what the energy is like with the other person and if they are any good with what we want to do. Some of my favorite play is actually with lesbians because I think they have some amazing energy and if playing in public with people that know it can be a fun little mind fuck. So when it comes to play what does that make me? For now how about a dominant pan-sexual playing bottom pup.
As I said before defining my sexuality has been a great challenge. I think a major reason for this is that it keeps changing on me. Just when I think I have it figured out, something in my life changes and I have to reevaluate it all. Iâm also not delusional enough to think that it will not change in the future. So for right this second as Iâm typing this sentence I will say that I define my sexuality as me being an open minded androgynously gay bio-male, poly-loving cock-sucking dominate pansexual playing bottom fag. Yeah, that works for now.
