IC: Poll About Sexual Orientation

[sythyry]

So, this is primarily for primes, but I'll let anyone answer it. I may try to do some statistics on the result, if I get sufficient energy. I really need to get my clients to answer it, but I don't know how to do that discreetly.

I understand that the answer to the question "how much do you lust for Cani" is subtle and tricky. Do I mean -- how much do you secretly want them? How much do you try to sleep with them? How much do you succeed in sleeping with them? Some other choice? Well, pretty much, I do mean that, more or less any of that. I will let you take your own definition, though I am more interested in what you like than what you do. This isn't a very careful survey anyhow.

My society generally views me as indecent and improper because I am married to another woman. I tend to prefer humans, but I can certainly see the attraction of other sentient beings. I could certainly see myself involved with a Cani, Orren, Gormoror (though I really Don't Get poetry), or Rassimel. I expect that, should I be honored enough to meet the correct Zi Ri, I might get involved. On the other hand, I don't expect that I could manage to be in the presence of Herethroy long enough to develop a friendship, much less an attraction for one. They look far too much like nonsentient beings on our world for which I have a completely unreasonable and insane phobia.

You're in a monospecific world, if I recall properly, where gender appears in social constructions where I am more used to species? Forgive me if I don't want to add gender into the consideration. I do know people who are fussy about it -- my long-dead first apartmentmate Havune much preferred Cani men to Cani women, and would sometimes flirt with non-Cani men, but never any women or others. But that consideration would double-and-a-bit the number of dimensions I need to consider, and it's intimidating enough as it is.

Pity about the Herethroy. I was married-in-practice to one for quite a long while, and miss zir extremely. But this survey is largely about tastes, and I shall note yours without scolding you for them.

Mynthë was the sort of person worth getting over a phobia for! ♥
