Relationships

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who comes for LPSG for more than just the sex. Who'd've thunk?!

uhh. what's the question?

Oh, does the blog have to have a question?

I once mentioned having a relationship with another guy and he thought it only meant sexual. Perhaps it's because I am so "literal" in my interpretation of some words and concepts, but "sexual" is only one kind of relationship.

Anyone who's read more than 3 or 4 of my posts would probably know that I am more interested in meaningful emotional, intellectual, even spiritual relationships than I am merely sexual ones. That's not to say that I don't relish sex, far from it, but it is only one facet of who I am and only one fraction of what makes me come to LPSG. I'm the same way only I want all the things you mentioned with one guy. Oh, does the blog have to have a question? No, it can be a statement. :smile:

I suppose, njq, that if I could find all of those things with another guy, I'd be willing to label myself 100% gay... or with a woman, then 100% straight...

Okay, that was a little tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, it seems we only rarely get the whole shooting match with one person.

I never settle for less than the whole package, a relationship should be completely fulfilling in every aspect.

Male bonding. Check out my blog post I'm about to make on that very subject.

Thanks, Kimahri, I'll do that.

Princess, "a relationship" may well be all of that ideally, but the relationship I have with my mother is never going to be sexual... the relationship I have with my dentist is most likely never going to be spiritual (or sexual, or emotional, for that matter). The comprehensive scope of how I relate to any number of people cannot possibly include that level of fulfillment with all of them.

Last night I was at a party and met a couple I enjoyed visiting with immensely. I found myself thinking there was a little bit of sexual tension with the male partner. Perhaps I was simply reacting to the fact that we really enjoyed our conversation... and my girlfriend is out of town. Still, there was a cumulative effect with his body language, facial expressions, personal proximity that seemed to add up to possible sexual interest.

So, here's the issue for me: am I simply misreading as sexual the flattering personal interest another guy shows in me?
