HAPPY HOMOFLEXIBLE PRIDE DAY

Jessamyn Duke for Homoflexible Pride

Hello friend! I have a small question. I really don't want to sound rude or anything like that , so please don't answer if you feel uncomfortable. My friend told me that she is homoflexible and briefly described it to me. I didn't really understand what she meant when she explained it, but she seemed uncomfortable talking about it, so I didn't push her. I was hoping you could help me (a dumb bi) understand what it means so I can support her. Thank you so much! ❤️

Hey there! Thank you for your message. 

Sometimes this identity/term can be hard to understand, but while your friend is primarily attracted to women, there is also a part of her, which may not be felt often, where she feels attracted to men and those who identify differently (agender, for example). Think of it like a small possibility, or flexibility.

She may not be frequently attracted to men and those of other genders (other than female), so she may feel that bisexuality does not fit 100% and best describes her experiences and identity. Whereas, you on the other hand I am assuming it fits perfectly because this is how you feel majority of the time (attracted to both men and women, and people who identity differently). 

Some may feel that this identity erases bisexuals, which I can understand but I can also understand how homoflexibility may be a more accurate term for someone, especially when they are predominantly attracted to those of the same sex. 

I hope this makes sense and thank you so much for being such a supportive friend! This definitely was not a rude question, it’s a great question and I’m glad you asked it.

What is the difference between homoflexible/heteroflexible and febfem/mebmal? Like, what is the difference between a lesbian/wlw homoflexible and a girl who's febfem bi? Or a gay/mlm and a mebmal bi man?

I'm a lesbian but I've been with guys before. I've only developed romantic, emotional, sexual relationships with women but only sexual relationships with men. A girl I wanted to go out with says that means I'm bi but I consider myself a lesbian.(1)

I haven’t been with a man in 5 yrs and even though I am open to having sex with men I have never loved or been in a relationship with one, should I be calling my self bi? (2)

Hi there, sorry for the late reply! 

You could identify with homoflexibility. It is related to bisexuality, but it’s different. What it means is someone who is attracted primarily to members of the same sex, but occasionally attracted to members of the opposite sex AND/OR able to derive pleasure from romantic encounters with members of the opposite sex. 

Most often, people who may be homoflexible, identify as gay or lesbian, despite occasional relations with members of the opposite sex. 

But then again, if you only experience sexual attraction with men (not romantically), it could mean something else. You could identify with homoromantic bisexual, meaning you’re sexually attracted to both genders but only romantically to the same gender. 

I hope this helps! 

P.S: At the end of the day you can identify however you like even if you haven’t had much experience with anyone, even putting gender aside. You are allowed to think about it over and over again, you are allowed to be confused, and you are allowed to date anyone of your choice.

Being homoflexible...

So... I like girls. I like them a lot. But, there's this guy friend of mine... I like him. He knows how gay I am, but still he likes me. I identify as gay/queer and maybe I'll be his girlfriend. I'll be his gay girlfriend 😂
