No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'd say your sexuality is "I like traditionally feminine people".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Straight = opposite sex

Gay = same sex

Bi = both sexes

You’d be bi.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

This is why I don't like the IA+ LGBTQIA+. Q was a good stopping point because queer is such a great way of saying "it's complicated but not straight."

Queer is a nice big tent we can all get under instead of performative labeling or over complication.

You're bi and you have a type.

I wish people didn't hyperfixate on labels so much these days. I feel like it causes more problems than it solves in terms of creating an identity someone needs to stick to instead of letting people just be themselves.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Agreed.

The desire to subdivide ourselves appears to have been very beneficial to the ruling class in many ways.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Agreed, fuck who you like and who wants to fuck you, why must something as complex and messy as your slice of humanity be categorized?

[–] [email protected] 102 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably bisexual, but you've got a type.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 days ago

Yeah. Let’s not overcomplicate it. They’re bi with a preference for femininity.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 2 days ago

You're horny.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

labels are useless last a certain point. you're you and that's all that matters.

if you absolutely need to pick a label (for a doctor's form or whatever) bi would be what I would choose since what they're really asking there is what genders do you sleep with.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you're looking for a technical term, you would fall under gynosexual. But even with the term: only you can truly define your own sexuality.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah gynosexual or gynephilic is how I describe myself

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Sounds like bi with a femme preference

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

I’d say I generally lean the same way, and I consider myself bi.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think trying to define it is fairly pointless. We love what we love and we lust what we lust. Rather than defining it, I wish we could all just accept that and stop hating people for having different preferences.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep, but sometimes you want to communicate about your preferences, and then you need understandable terminology. Giving names to phenomena is generally useful. Discussing things is useful. Understanding natural diversity is great and important.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fair point but I'm not sure that naming every permutation is possible. We might be better off trying to make do with charts or something.

Yep. We don't give names for people who like red and their second favourite colour is yellow.

Just be yourself, be kind to others and move on.

Fucked if I know the new terms but for my entire 20+ years of sexually active life, you would be classified as bi. But like I said or implied, Im old as fuck and have no clue what the currently accepted term may be. If I need to know the new sexuality/gender terms then im fucking a woman who is way too young than I should be fucking with. Thats a statement of the types of people who live in my area and not a blanket statement that no older individuals use current sexuality identities.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

There's also 'neptunic', which sounds like what you're describing, plus attraction to androgyny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Sapphic, perhaps.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

From Fetlife's Kinktionary:

Finsexual: Usually refers to a person who is attracted to femininity regardless of a person’s gender identity. Is sometimes considered more inclusive than Gynesexual (as the prefix "gyne" focuses on female anatomy).

Labels exist to describe what is. You don't need to fit neatly into a category. You like who you like, and you shouldn't apologize for it.

Like for me, I'm attracted to the late Andre Braugher portraying the gay man Captain Holt on Brooklyn 99 when he's pretending to be straight and describing his fictitious partner's heavy breasts. Nothing sexier than that, but the brain trust at Oxford hasn't come up with a word for that one yet.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh fuck you! I was not prepared to learn one of my favorite sitcom characters is dead. Fuck me, now I gotta Google how he passed.

Holt talking about thigh gap is hilarious.

Find your limitation, become a label.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depending on your gender you're heteroflexible or homoflexible

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

which are 2 types of bi

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Bi but with a type?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

sounds like labels just aren't that useful to you
