I dont expect any comments of this nature. I actually thought your post was one of the more honest, insightful in this thread so far. As someone perfectly happy with their gender, with absolutely no desire to be any other way, i thought it was interesting to read such an honest account of some of the ways in which others can feel somewhat uncomfortable.

I find my gender has held me back in life many times but I could say the same for guys that I know. Like boobs said, it's all social stigma.
You know, i agree completely that women get judged far more for sleeping around than men do. im not claiming this is right but its a fact as far as im concerned. Im happy to admit that promiscuity is a turn off for me. It's a big turn off. Its the biggest turn off and if i think about it and ask myself whether i would judge women for this more than men then maybe if im honest, i would realise that i do judge women a little more?

Im not entirely sure that this is the case because i dont exactly have a very high opinion of the guys i have known or know or have met in the past who go from bar to bar trying to tap up every single girl they see so they can take her home and brag about her to their friends the next day but also, im not attracted to men. I dont want to be friends with guys like this but i damn sure dont want to sleep with them either, so in that sense it isnt a turn off. Their sex lives are none of my business and so why do i care?

I am however attracted to women, i do want to sleep with women and i dont want to sleep with a woman who is the female equivalent of the type of guy i just mentioned, who is the kind of girl that actually sleeps with these kind of pricks and so that WOULD be a turn off. Would it not be natural if i were to judge her a little more?
