Questionnaire - part b. Flist?

[castalie]

This is a drive-by post - I still haven't finished what I'm supposed to do but I needed to post this so here I am. Do some of you remember when I asked you to fill in a questionnaire for one of my sister's assignments? Well, this is part b of said assignment - only this time it concerns lesbians and bi only. Yeah, sorry *g*

So if a) you're a lesbian or b) you're bi [funny how that works out] and if c) you have time, please fill in the new questionnaire? Thanks in advance to those who'll play. Also, I made the poll visible/viewable only to me... in case you were wondering.

[Poll #498656]

I have the feeling I might have screwed with some of the questions, but if you find typos and such, please don't tell me - unless you want to see me cry? Thanks in advance. Also, if some answers sound odd or if you have trouble replying, it seems it's still part of the 'game' so just do what you can *g*

And hey, doesn't the poll work wonderfully with my new icon? I think so too.

PS: I know I said it's only viewable to me and some of those questions give the option to explain in comments, hence sorta denying the whole 'viewable to me' thing but let's just say there is a loophole in there? Also, as you can imagine, no names will be given in the final product. So really, just reply to the questionnaire however you want to.

so, re:question 2, i'd say that it's not about "being with a woman" but being with that person in particular. so, what i value most is the specific characteristics of that person and the way they shape the relationship. insofar as i can express an opinion on this, really.

and re:question 5, i hide my sexuality because i wouldn't necessarily know what to say and if you don't know the person well it's not easy to go into the details.

and if my answers don't make sense, am sorry. it's like, 5am and i can't sleep.

They make sense, don't worry - thanks a lot *g*

Interesting poll! I didn't take it because I'm more bicurious than bisexual and because of my lack of experience with women I can't answer the first two questions.

Very sexy icon! And totally appropriate! :)

Thanks, I'll let her know you thought so *g*

And the icon rocks, doesn't it? *licks*

Just (bi)curious (I didn't take the test. I don't remember much of the time I was bisexual ;) )..

Tell me.. Question 2... Why can't the answer be "to have some wild wild sex which is much better than with a man"? Why just settle for "affection" "equality" "care"? It doesn't sound very compelling to me. Very feminine values maybe but not very exciting.

LOL You always say stuff like this, as if you were sooooooo old *g*

She chose that angle, that's why *g* She needed to focus on some factors and the corpus she gathered first dealt with that mostly - she'll write a chapter on sex per se, but the poll needed to focus on something different. Well, I'm not the one writing the assignment, so I'm sure I'm not explaining it right, but yeah *g*

I'm not taking the test because I'm straight, but I couldn't resist looking. In question #1 - Do you think homosexual relationships between two women are... my reaction is, how would a lesbian couple know if sex was better with a man or a woman? (Assuming neither of them have ever had sex with a man.)

Just like I can say, "Oh, sure, sex is better with a man," but I have nothing to compare it to; I can't truthfully judge the quality. I mean, most of us don't try one of each before we decide our orientation; we just *are*, you know?

So -- I think your sister might want to rethink that question a bit. I suspect that, unless the responder is bi, and has tried both, the answers won't be worth much.

Ah but question #1 doesn't focus on the sex actually, it's more a relationship in general and how people might 'view' the differences between a homosexual one and a straight one. It's basically a question on how people - okay so here lesbians - might consider the differences between the two - if they think a difference even exists *g*

I may not have translated it right, admittedly *ponder*

In answer to the question about what I value about being with a woman, it's the reciprocity. Our society teaches us men want sex and women want love, therefore in many relationships with guys I feel the need to 'buy' love with sex and therefore can't enjoy sex without devaluing that currency. With a woman, both people want sex and love, so I can have my cake and eat it too. (I should note that my current [male] SO has thoroughly disabused me of the notion that I need to trade one for the other...)

Really interesting, thanks a lot for participating *g*

Regarding choosing to 'hide' my sexuality from anyone, I don't do that. I also don't advertise because I am a very private person and really, I don't think it's anyone's business. The only people who need to know about who I am with is my partner. When I feel it necessary (we're getting serious or something along those lines), I'll tell who I want to tell.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Nice answer, all right *g* Thanks a lot.

[x5-536.livejournal.com]

butttt i'm neither straight, nor bi, nor gay, can i do this anyway?!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Know what? When The Sis started talking about those questionnaires and the 'audience' she wanted, I actually thought of you and I was like, I know someone who's going to have trouble with it lol

Seriously now, if you feel like you can fill in the questions, please do *g*

I was looking for some Pride icons and saw that icon and fell in love with it *g*
