I don't. Hate sexual orientation labels. Wish there were a way around them, but how else can someone discuss what they will do or have done or might do? (And is everyone *positive* this will never change?)
So I just say I am a human being. Human beings are sexual creatures, and that sexuality has a wide, wide spectrum of expression. Because I am human, I am capable of all of them. Depends on situation and partner.
For instance, what does calling anyone "heterosexual" actually say about them? It doesn't mean they see a member of the opposite sex and immediate hump them. Some they aren't attracted to. Some they are. Some they are attracted to they will never have a chance to experience sexuality with.
Same if they are gay. Same if they are bi. Same if they are "bi-curious." Same if they are ---- well, there aren't enough labels. To know that I am zoo, upon further reflection, told you almost nothing about me, my preferences, my limits, my attractions, my behavior.
If *you* are a zoo, and I say I am a zoo, we are not likely to be zoo the same way. Many zoos judge or condemn one form of zoo, but not the way *they* are zoo.
Labels are almost pointless, seems to me. We'd have to have a very, very long discussion, or else many of them. And when we're done, we're still free to modify it as we continue to grow.
I see where youre coming from. Most of the labels out there are just umbrella descriptions to give kind of a general picture, but theres always more sub-classifications out there. Im a sapiosexual in that Im attracted to intellectual people, but that is futher categorized by being a noetisexual in that I have to have an intellectual connection with that person and their intelligence. Another label i have would be a demisexual, which is being sexually attracted to someone you share a strong emotional connection with.
I think its fun to indulge in the sense of "Oh theres a word for that," but it depends how far you wanna go with it. I could use all those "blahblah-sexual" terms, or i could just say Im attracted to human women with a good heart and a strong mind.
