i dont understand sexuality

[dopamine]

like why do we have to label who we like. why can't we just cuddle with who we want and not be classified? :what:

[ksdnfkfr]

excuse me but are you trying to make the world less stupid? :P

[Elysium]

Because humans like things nice and identifiable in neat little boxes, black and white and clear and easy.

labels need to go back to the 1800's where they belong tbh

[Seth Green]

Um...That's like saying "Why do we have to have names for all the colors, why can't we just call them all colors." Because then nobody would know what the f*ck your talking about. We have to NAME things so people can communicate.There are scientific reasoning behind all the different Sexualities, and there are lot's of different sexualities.

[AlexOnToast]

I get both sides of the argument, but humans being humans, there will always be names for everything. As much as we like to think of ourselves as free thinkers, we are all bureaucrats by nature, as Elysium said.

I would be so agreeable to that. cuddles are so under rated

[MortimerB]

We need to label things, because everything else makes us unsure. Take a look at human history! We have literally labeled everything! Find an unnamed object and people will try to give it a name, no matter what it is. This serves both scientific, communicative and security purposes. Also, it's easier to say "I'm gay", than it is to say "I like to cuddle with boys.", hehe. :)

[Seth Green]

Yeah, and while we're at let's just throw out language all together, it's too restricting. Let's just make what ever weird noises we like and hope people understand what we are trying to communicate.... Asking why something has a name makes no sense what so ever to me. And maybe YOU don't like to be labeled a certain sexuality, and that's fine. But other people do so it would be unfair if there was no names for sexuality. Infact, if there we're no names for sexuality I would go as for to say that people off people who aren't straight would have it even worse off. Because people would be just even more ignorant of sexualites.

I was always one who admired clarity and classification. This is why my own personal label is confusing if not proving impossible to ascertain. People like things identifiable with a way of reassurance. if one knows what they are then it can take away from the confusion be it for sexuality or sickness and well anything really. Also not all labels are bad such as titles.

I wish I could cuddle with whomever and not be assumed that I want something

[backjruton]

I've gone through a lot of posts today that I want to write something about but in the middle I end up writing gibberish so I don't see a point because I'm not feeling too good today...

Labels are needed because they define things so it's easier to know what we are talking about, but labels can also be bad and hurt people like the fact that just because you're different you're classified as Disabled although people are just people. The disability label is the worst in my opinion because I was only diagnosed as autistic at age 15 and since then I have found life a lot harder in some situations. I was doing fine before the diagnosis but since then my skills have just dropped and probably my IQ and brain age too just because I’m now identified in a different way. I was also doing fine in school up until this point but then I became more stressed and started to put even more weight on...

For me it hasn't been good, but for the Sexuality side I think it is good to give yourself a different label because if you've already thought of yourself as something else, people who try to make advances on you wouldn't try to make advances anymore. I don't know, but to feed the animals just tell people you're bisexual and that you go for both ways if you "want to cuddle with just anyone"... If this makes sense

[Luminous]

God, me too, but unfortunately that's not the way the world works.

if u talk about it with your friends I am sure they might allow u to hug as friends. I got some friends, girls that hug me.
