Str8,Bi,or other

I experimented a little bit with two male friends in middle school/high school, but I quickly determined that it wasn't for me.

I consider myself straight, and I have always exclusively dated women, but I am attracted to other convincing cross dressers and trans women. I sometimes fantasize about being with either sexually, and although part of me believes I'd actually give it a try, another part of me is unsure.

Just like many others who have posted to this thread, I'm also attracted to impressive male genetalia and, while I'm in girl mode.

But aside from a guy's male parts, I'm not turned on by the rest of a man's body much at all unless they are hairless man dimes haha

But even then, my attraction to women is waaaay stronger and I find every aspect of a pretty woman to be attractive and a turn on.

So, yeah. Maybe I'm more bi-curious than straight. But my thoughts, fantasies and attractions to men are so infrequent and uncommon compared to women that I still feel as though straight is the most accurate label for me for now.

What a diverse and fascinating topic this can be. I have found all of the replies both heartfelt and a good look at how we view ourselves. Basically, I am that round peg that just can't fit into a square hole (or is it the other way around?). Like many of us, I have struggled to find a label to describe Sarah identity. It is useless fit into a catagory as labels are really for soup cans or wine bottles, not humans.

I have checked many of the boxes on my male side over the last seven decades (yes, I am that old). At times, I have tried too hard to be masculine but still successful at many of them. I first accepted that I had a female side in my late forties and I totally started to embrace that side which evolve to who I am today.

Now back to the original question, I would reluctantly label myself as flexible (or other) and maybe now beyond being just bi-curious. As Paul, my real name, I never seem to be attracted to other men. When I think like Sarah and become Sarah that all changes and I have discovered that I enjoy attention of men as it validates all of the work it takes to enfemme. I find their attention very appealing and exciting. So yes, I have dated select gentlemen for both platonic good times as well more intense relationships.

Labels are labels, square pegs don't fit into round holes and many of us don't fit into a perfect definition of straight, bi or other?

Again, never had an interest in another male. No matter how dressed up he might be. But I think it would be fair to say that when I am dressed up I have fantasized about being a male lesbian to a GG.

I woudn't classify myself as fully bisexual as I have no interest in men otherwise.
I'm never checking out men or attracted to men, nor could I see myself in a relationship with a man.
I definitely have fantasies about being with a trans woman and would definitely consider a relationship with one if I weren't happily married to a wonderful woman.

I 100% identify with the first 3 lines of that reply. It's exactly like that for me...

Sarah you eloquently expressed much of my feelings and perspective. When in Karen mode, I can be physically attracted to men but not emotionally. When in Mike mode, No attraction at all to men. Attraction to women - ALWAYS !
