Adults fuck whatever they want.
"Sexual identity" is for children who need to get out more.
There's limits
I picture an old man with a really scraggly beard laying on a couch with a beer in one hand, cigarette in the other saying this lol
Is this that new camera hack where the led turns off? Jk I don't smoke.
Adults can fuck whatever they want with consent
I'd hope people would just assume statements like that imply consensually lol.
And in the current era specific age limits are set.
Sexual identity is simply a descriptor of the type of adults you generally go for. It is a quick way to explain to another person what you are into. It's not really necessary to explicitly label, but it can be helpful.
It's not prescriptive, it's descriptive.
It's taking a step back and looking at your self critically, like an art piece. Who am I? How might others see me? How might I communicate myself to others? Am I living authentically to me? OP is noticing new details that is making them reconsider their own ego. That's all normal human connection and philosophy. Thinking isn't childish, lol.
That's not exactly true. Being able to talk about sexual identity using specific terms is highly useful for people who are in relatively unsafe communities.
Won't somebody please think of the children. Lol.
