I am somewhat of an artist. Ever since I watched Eddie Izzard I've been somewhat inspired to make 'sexual art', hear me out. I feel a need to do art that symbolizes controversy sexual things. But how does one paint or draw homosexuality or transsexuality without making it a stereotype? So I thought, well I'll take a survey of what certain things symbolize to people. So here we go, simply fill out the form below :)

I hope that once i gather enough of this information from you all I will be able to create this art, mostly through oil and acrylic paint but you never know =)

For several reasons i chose not to include Asexual. But if you'd like to post a symbolism and color towards it, I'm fine with that :) I didn't mean to be 'racist' in anyway to Asexual. But like i said for certain topic reasons i didn't choose to list it.

Where's Asexual?

Asexual- One who has no sexual drive/experiences no sexual desire (Not considered a sexuality by some, rather a lack of a sexuality)

my main reason for not including it is because i want to portray true sexuality type of stuff with emotion. But Asexuality just doesn't comfortably fit in that subject to me :) thankyou to the person who decided to fill it out! More survey's are encouraged :D
