I know that my mom loves me.
I just also know she doesn’t understand me.
I told her I am polysexual.
And she says she accepts me.
Then she says that I am confused right now.
She asks me how I know my sexuality when I have never had sex.
I am eighteen years old.
I am not a prepubescent preteen
Who is just starting to learn what “sex” it
(I was in the generation that didn’t know what sex was at 12, I played in puddles)
I know who I like
I have thought a boy was cute before
I have thought a girl was cute before
I don’t need to have sex with them to know that.
And they’re all straight as far as I know
Which immediately stops anything I could say
Because why fight for the right to our sexuality
And hit on those who don’t have the same?
It’s redundant
And almost cruel.
Back on topic, I know my mom doesn’t understand
The way she may say she does.
But I think I’ll take that and run with the luck I’ve been given.
Small town mentality with nobody who isn’t straight around to tell ‘em off.
Or at least, nobody who’s out
It’s not like I’m advertising my own sexuality here.
The “hetero” normality is crazy where I live though!
I have literally made so many gay jokes,
Even the cliche “this bent fork is straighter than I am”
And I get no response besides a chuckle.
Then they ask me which boy I want to go to prom with.
As if another option doesn’t even exist.
I have also heard even the pride community isn’t very accepting of bi, omni, poly, and pan sexuals/romantics though?
I know it’s probably not a vast majority, but still.
That kinda sucks huh?
So I’ll be sittin in my nice, dark closet for a while more.
Anybody else in here with me? I’m really up for talking if you wanna :)

Used to think I was straight, but I'm in love with and dating a girl.....
My best friend (we'll call her Emily) and I have been dating for a couple months now. We met at the beginning of the school year (we're both juniors at the same...
If you don't mind me asking, what really is a polysexual, pansexual and omni?
People just come up with these strange terms to describe a person's sexuality and it's becoming a big deal. So, what's the deal with all these terms?
Can people just keep it simple lolll...
ReplyHaha, I get what you mean. It can become pretty confusing. When I first realized I wasn't exactly hetero, I started looking into a term that could fit what I feel. The first thing I saw was bisexual, so I told myself in my head that I was bisexual, and it just didn't sound right and made me feel wrong. The more I looked into it, the more I realized that that feeling was right; I am not straight or lesbian, and I am not bisexual either. A major point in my sexuality is loving people outside of their chosen gender while bisexuality basically-and very generally-means to be sexually attracted to two genders. Omni is another term in the middle of bi and poly while pansexuality is being attracted-romantically or sexually-to people 100% regardless of their genders. Pansexuals are also described as being "gender-blind" though that can also defer between people. I prefer poly-sexual because it basically means to love or be attracted to multiple genders. There are many intersex or non-binary people in the world, and me saying I'm poly-sexual is saying I like dating girls, boys, (trans or no), non-binary or intersex people. I know a lot of people are not going to understand me when I say that I am poly-sexual, but to me, it's worth it because that is what makes me feel comfortable with myself and like I am representing myself correctly to others. It's okay to not completely understand these terms, I had to do a lot of research on all of them myself and am still learning. I'd say to let other people create these labels because even though it can be confusing, it makes people feel comfortable with themselves to the best of their ability. It's hard to squeeze billions of people in the neat three boxes of straight, gay/lesbian, or bi. That's why all these different terms exist. :) If you have any more questions, I can answer them for you, but there are also a lot of great sources online if you're willing to look.
