Sexual Orientation Is More Than What Genitals You Respond To:

it is much deeper than that and it involves what personality characteristics you are drawn to. you have to like what you're with...

I'm male, and there's a handful of blokes with personality characteristics that I am drawn to, but that has nothing to do with my sexual orientation.

There's a handful of women with personality characteristics that repel me, yet I still consider them, er, well let's just say I consider them; that HAS got something to do with my sexual orientation.

One HAS to like everything about someone in order for it to work out relationship-wise.

It is definitely more than just the great sex.

It is not just the sex, it is the companionship and getting along with them.

Absolutely right!

And you'd have beaten me unequivocally had the debate been about 'Sexual Relationships Are Based On More Than What Genitals You Respond To". =]

Well, for women it might be more that way, but it's something of a biological fact that men tend to be easily aroused by sight alone.

Of course there are other levels of desire and attraction. The desire for friendship, and the type of people you select, shouldn't really be labelled a sexual orientation, though you might care deeply for one friend, but in a platonic manner, more like as a brother, or possibly as a father.

But deep platonic friendships can progress into some kind of romance, you might say, depending on your sexual orientation.
