Maybe for some people. I know for some of my girl friends girl-on-girl action is not the first preference but they would visit it. However I simply cannot imagine. I don't swing that way at all, and it's not due to any prejudice. I just think girl parts are pretty gross.

Perhaps sexuality is more a matter of degree?

That's extremely rare everywhere I've been. However, I have heard men (including you) and women say they WISH they could change their orientation for those reasons. (Just as there are gays who are desperate to change their orientation to heterosexual so they don't have to put up with the bigotry that says it's a choice and punishes gays for their "choice.")

There's also bisexuals, which is a very complicated issue for many (mostly sociological) reasons, but they DO have a choice (that of celibacy toward one gender) and sometimes say things like that.

Well I have to get back to Australian high schools since I experienced this first hand. A great majority of private schools are unisex. The kids who attend these schools are socialised with members of the same sex from 8/9am in the morning to 3/4pm in the afternoon every single weekday from 5 yrs of age (when primary starts) to 17/18 when yr 12 (HS) ends.
So that is a total of 12-13 years and God only knows how many accumulated hours.

This is by no means an oddity in Australia. It is common practice for many people to send their kids to a unisex, religious, private school. 70% of people I met at University fit this profile.

Since our teenage years are considered 'formative' mainly when it comes to human sexuality.. it's been very interesting to me to observe and take note re: how these people act towards the opposite sex.

Suppose they were someplace where they couldn't be near women or even in a very repressive culture where interactions between the sexes are frowned upon growing up, like India, for example. I read that in India, it's not uncommon for men's first sexual experience to be with other men and then they go on and get married. Often the marriage is arranged.

I agree.'Fifty Shades of Grey' could all be the wandering minds...Did you know? The mind is the largest sex organ in the human body.

Five Bizarre Effects Sex Has on The Brain

Sex–we all love it. It makes our brains feel a sudden, almost overwhelming sense of joy that quickly fades us back to our lame realities.

That’s not all sex does, though. Turns out sex can make our brains do weird things, some of which millions of dollars of research and top scientific minds can’t even figure out yet. Some of these effects are actually pretty terrifying, for example…

1.Porn Shuts Down Parts of the Brain
2.Sex Can Make Some Women Depressed
3.Sex Can Make Your Brain Grow
4.Sex Can Wipe Your Memory
5.Sex Can Cause An Aneurysm

I grew up entirely in unisex schools. And then I spent three years in a unisex army fratenizing only with males. I find males totally disgusting, and the concept of males turning gay beause of a lack of females totally revolting. For me, a male even remotely trying to be suggestive is a fast way for him to commit suicide.

Just curious about something, and no, not a "trap" or anything, I'm genuinely curious.

I was returning from a shopping trip on foot (and bus) in January when 2 men, I'd guess about 20 and dressed in a way that makes me think of a certain college, passed me as they walked the opposite direct. One said as they walked past (and kept going), "You just scream, 'rape me'." (*) It was broad daylight with people around (though I doubt anyone heard it), but how would you react? As a man and they'd said that to you? And as a woman if they'd said that to you? (Remember, they kept going as opposed to providing any actual menace that could legally justify self-defense of any sort.)

(*For those that it matters--when it shouldn't--I wore an oversized, loosely fitting tie-dyed shirt that covered everything, with cargo pants that, along with the backpack I wore, carried some groceries. I had my hair in a casual ponytail, no makeup.)

And also the sexual harassment many women just learn to put up with (I often tell men who complain of gays harassing them "welcome to girl world"), a blatant one I've shared before being when I'd volunteer to set up an office Halloween party along with a few others (none of us actually worked there though we all knew someone who did). A man kept flirting furiously with me and I tried to ignore it (and focus on the job) hoping he'd take the hint I wasn't interested, but it wasn't working. An example of how he was when we were trying to put up some black curtains the rods came apart and he told me to hold mine still as he inserted his side, and then in "in and out" motions, moaning erotically, "Oh, it feels so good!"

If I were a man, I would step in to the woman's rescue and tell them to back off. If I were a woman, the "mother hen" action would be more direct.

If it were my daughter walking and these idiots outraged her modesty, I would hunt them down and make their lives extremely miserable. It's a good thing I don't have my daughters around.

Regardless, if I were a woman, at college aged, I would be a third degree black belt in my martial art of choice. If I were not in New England, nothing speaks louder than a concealed carry permit and revealing a 9mm.

Sexual innuendo, never mind sexual harassment, is absolutely and totally unwarranted. I have zero tolerance for deviants. I don't harass and never have.

I would press charges and then file a civil suit to wreck their lives and those of their parents. And I have no sympathy for bozos.

I don't flirt and I don't like women who overtly flirt with me, or at least I wouldn't give them the time of the day. Some call it arrogance. I rather call it maintaining my dignity.

I don't condone the odious behavior of harassing others, whether the act of sending over a dozen drinks at the bar or cat calling from the construction site.

If I didn't live in the Northeast, I would be packing heat and I wouldn't hesitate to show it. But I don't draw without putting two through the skull and one through the heart.

I may be wrong, but I think you have two boys?

Damn, you should have had girls haha! You would have been a great dad to them. Then again it sounds like you are instilling your boys with good values, and the world really needs that.

My mom's really happy I have been working out so much lately. I've become strong I think I could kick some ass... Maybe... At the very least I could probably run away really fast lol.

You do not want to know the tactics I have had to stoop to in order to get away from guys in the past. I have had to pull the "dumb blonde" card one too many times. And I live in a "safe" town. Well. As safe as any student town can be. Which really doesn't say much. College guys use violence and intimidation too often. Most don't handle rejection well either because their self-esteem is so low.

PixieJane, I have experienced what you describe as well. I think in the first example I would have told them to F off. I mean it was bright day? The safer option is probably just too walk away though. I'm just too combative. Which is why with the last example I ALSO (this has happened to me twice) told them to get out of my space even though the guys were drunk and in a crowd in one of the instances. Not a good idea. The crowd thing quickly turned into a fight and I ended up having to run away. The second time I got a fist flying at me. Though THANKFULLY there has always been a guy around to save me so far. His friend quite firmly tucked his hand away, and I decided it was time to leave.
