I've read all 151 posts so far and even though I would have answered "gg's only" at the top of the thread, now I'm not so sure.
I agree that the poll is not truly scientifically offered. There are too many ways that the sample could be biased (monitoring SO's, inclusion of wishes as actual action, etc). The only answers I can 100% believe are those of the admitted gay not-girls who say "Men!Men!Men!". They may be the only sector of the membership represented in the poll who really know who they are and are comfortable as they are.
For me, I think i agree with Melora (#93) that men or men parts do not turn me on at all, but when looking at a seriously gorgeous T-girl, that might not be important to the reality of the immediate desire. Especially because, as several others have said, desire for an intimate relationship in my case will ultimately rest on the person and not just the look.
A drop dead and willing T-girl would turn me off if she turned out to be ignorant or bigotted or totally self-absorbed. I don't want sex just for the sake of sex. I want sex as the culmination of a commitment to share a spiritual bonding.
As a man, I'm attracted to women. As a woman, I'm attracted to women. And as we know some CD's, and most TS's are really women. Just ask 'em! So there's a big pool of possibles for me, as it turns out.
Remember the new wave song from the 80's? Never say Never!
Thanks for helping me clarify my own confused thoughts on this important question.
respect & love
