    You can absolutely be straight and have gay sex. A hole is a hole. I’ve known a few straight men who have done it and still don’t seek out men or find them attractive. Conversely, I know gay men who have fucked women and don’t actively seek out women to this day.

    A circumstantial fuck is just that: you getting your rocks off when given the opportunity. We don’t need to be questioning people’s identities as if we know other people’s minds like our own. That’s not our place and we don’t need to be prescriptivists.

      Imo if you fuck a dude in any way, you lose straight as a title forever and you become at minimum heteroflexible.

        I’ve never been a mushroom fan, but every 5-10 years, I taste them again to see if my tastes have changed, though they never do. Does that mean I do in fact like mushrooms?

        Actually scratch that question - it’s not a decision that anyone but the person in question can make. Correcting someone about their orientation is a major overstep.

        (I know you weren’t the person who initially did that, I’m just speaking generally)

          If every few years you taste mushroom again, you seem to be quite open to the concept of potentially liking mushroom.

            Well, yeah, I’m not a bigot.

            I don’t like mushrooms though. Like the person I responded to wishes they were less straight, I wish I did like mushrooms, in my case because it would be more convenient to be able to cook with more ingredients.

              Okay. But if there’s a term for people who refuse to ever eat mushrooms, then you’re not that.

                And heterosexual doesn’t mean you refuse to ever have sex with people of your gender, it means you’re not attracted to them. Sometimes people have sex that they realize they don’t like, and they are able to form a more complete picture of their sexuality through that.

                  Okay, so we just define the word differently. Funnily enough, I looked it up and the English Wikipedia seems to be on your side while my native language version uses the term “exclusively”. So it’s just that. Then be happy with your heterosexuality that allows banging dudes, I’m happy with my version that allows me making snarky remarks about that.
