I wonder why this is being downvoted. Perhaps I am very simple and don't get complex nuances of the matter, but for me a heterosexual person is one who likes sexual relations with the opposite sex only. Having a consensual same-sex relation implies being either homosexual or bisexual.
- Coding_Cat 9y agoThe OP oversimplified a bit more: for starters, one could be a woman. To get the obvious answer out of the way. Secondly, and more to your point, one could be curious as to what the experience is like without having any specific sexual feelings for the same gender. Sexuality means you enjoy the act, just performing is not enough. See also: gay-for-pay pornstars, closeted gay people in hetero relationships, non-consensual sex. An example from the study would be "performative" homosexual relationships, where someone might kiss someone of the same gender not for their own pleasure, but to entice a third person of the opposite gender.
- torstenvl 9y agoSo, to you, a sexual encounter being "consensual" and it being something each partner "likes" are synonymous? In your world, if you have sex with someone but it ends up not being very good, you view yourself as having been raped? I'm sorry, but conflating what someone "likes" with what is "consensual" is deeply problematic. I'd ask that you not do that.
