Do You Ever Find Men Sexually Attractive?

Filed Under Gender | 3 Comments

Genia: Very rarely do I find men sexually attractive. I’ve seen gorgeous guys who make me do a double-take as I pass them on the street, but do I want to jump their bones? No. I know a good looking guy when I see one and any lesbian who claims otherwise is lying.

Andrea: I see men sometimes and think he’s hot or that he’s really good looking. I guess it usually stops there though. I’ve never really had any sexual desire towards men that makes me want to do anything other than look at them.

Happy New Year!

Filed Under Gender | Leave a Comment

Andrea and I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year. I won’t be making any resolutions because I have committed to making positive lifestyle changes every chance I get, not just on January 1.

We plan to party tonight – no big surprise there, right? If I’m sober enough, I’ll snag some pictures.

Last New Year’s Eve, my first kiss of the year was with a pretty redhead server who worked at my favorite restaurant. It was just a kiss. Nothing more. About 12 days later, I met Andrea. I didn’t know she’d be in my life 11 days later, otherwise I would’ve waited.

Anyway, enjoy your evening – and be safe.

If You Were Dating a Woman Who Began Transitioning to Male, Would You Remain in the Relationship?

Filed Under Gender | 2 Comments

Genia: I love the female form and all its curves – especially that curvy backside. It would be difficult for me to continue a sexual relationship with my partner who is transitioning to a male. Yes, I’m aware that many people will say my partner is still the same on the inside. Her inside is only a part of who I love. Most likely, I would end the relationship because neither of us will be what the other person needs.

Andrea: No. I am attracted to women and think that I would have a difficult time keeping that attraction if my partner transitioned to a male. I’m sure some say you stay in it because it’s still the same person. I could handle a change in hair style but change in gender would be difficult.

What Do You Think About a FTM Person Who Wants to Date a Lesbian?

Filed Under Gender | 11 Comments

We received this question from a She Said, She Said reader via text message:

What is your take on a FTM identified person who wants to date lesbians? He said he’s still physically female but he identifies as (and can pass as) a male.

Genia: Gender is such a complicated issue. I can’t speak to why your transidentified FTM friend is only interested in dating lesbians. A lot of lesbians are perfectly okay with dating FTM-identified people; however, I am not one of those lesbians. If a FTM-identified person wanted to date me, I would say no. I identify as a lesbian. For me, that means I limit my intimate activities to people who (a) identify as female and (b) have my favorite female part, the vagina. If I ever considered dating a FTM-identified person, I would have to ask myself this question: Would I be okay with him once he makes the full transition and has his vagina replaced with a penis? My answer would be “no,” so I wouldn’t start a relationship with someone I know I won’t be sexually attracted to later.

I won’t even attempt to guess why your FTM-identified friend wants to date only lesbians. It really shouldn’t matter to you why he does. All you need to know is would YOU be comfortable dating him. If your answer is “yes,” then go for it. If your answer is “no,” tell him you’re not interested. And if he asks why, don’t feel obligated to justify your answer.

Andrea: I would think that it would be hard for a FTM to find lesbians who would want to be with him. I would imagine that a lesbian would not have a lot of interest in someone who is male even though he was once a woman. I am a lesbian who likes women who don’t want to be men, and women who have always been women. I know I wouldn’t be interested in a person who is FTM or MTF. Maybe there are lesbians out there who would. I think the obvious suggestion for a person who is FTM is to date straight women or bi-sexual women.
