so I'm asexual and do not experience any kind of sexual attraction or stimuli from my partners appearance but I still enjoy sex because it feels good and if it's with someone I know I like the emotional gratification of making them feel good so I guess it depends on if his physical appearance is what you turned you on or if you just enjoyed the sensations of sex
Just wanted to drop on this post that there’s a lot of opinions. Some I notably disagree with. Sexual identity is your own. It should be used by you to describe you in the ways the feel most genuine to you. The point of the queer community was to go beyond the confines of strict sexual and gender roles. We should not be inflicting them on ourselves. If lesbianism feels most genuine to you, use it. The notion that “lesbians can’t enjoy sex with men” is absolutely absurd. Don’t fall for that
if you enjoy having sex with men YOU ARE NOT A LESBIAN. you are a bisexual. you can be a bisexual woman who is physically but not romantically attracted to men. the same way someone who’s actually straight doesn’t consider sleeping w someone of the same sex the concept applies to lesbians or gay men. getting so sick and fucking tired of people acting like bisexuality is some sort of temporary mood swing they can flip flop between when they feel like it. just disrespectful.
this is the best reply I’ve seen under this. If OP tried sex out w a guy and enjoyed the experience that is not really something that coincides with the lesbian identity and I think if she wants to explore what it meant to her then doing so without the label would provide more clarity 🤷♀️
I would agree but the last part is specifically in reference to enjoying the physical pleasure from sex rather than experiencing the multifaceted intimacy and enjoyment that comes with sex w/ someone you’re attracted to. if you enjoyed having sex with a man in the same way you would if you used your vibrator, you probs aren’t attracted to men. many lesbians are sex-repulsed from men but you don’t have to be sex-repulsed from men to be a lesbian.
I disagree. I understand why this, on the surface, seems reasonable. But I think it’s actually quite dangerous. This logic could be used to delegitimize the identities of trans women who “appear to cis” in the eyes of the community, something that’s already happening, and I should not need to say *is a problem* The question I have is where do you draw the line? What criteria qualifies you as a lesbian? And if there is not a simple-common sense basis, shouldn’t it be left to the individual?
