A Hormone-free Thread [Archive]

Because I'm a total bitch and kinda sick of noticing that a majority of these threads are about sex, I'd like to create this thread to talk about anything but sex. I mean, if it comes up no big deal but honestly, I tend to feel a bit left out considering I like to keep my private life private, especially on forums that don't have a members-only section.

Anyway, so let's start simply: Why don't you tell the nice readers three things (non-sexual, for those of you who aren't very good at reading) about yourself? I'll start.

1) I love crazy knee socks.
2) I used to be Goth, now I'm just kinda Goth. I guess. Well, I wear too much eyeliner and dark clothing....
3) My favourite band is and probably always will be The Cure.

Okay, three things:

1. I enjoy complicated mystery novels.
2. I use to drink wine, but developed a tolerance for it, so now I drink whiskey.
3. I was born and raised in Florida and never lived anywhere else.

There you go.

1. I still watch Power Rangers, the original.
2. I absolutely LOVE the band Queen. RIP Freddy!
3. If I were a man, I would be gay.
oh and 1 more:
4. I was born and raised a West Virginia girl.

1) I cannot snap my fingers to save my life. People have tried teaching me, many times. My fingers slide off my thumb like mush regardless of how I try. This occasionally leads to a bit of social awkwardness when you're expected to snap 'em. I have actually mimed snapping my fingers while clacking my tongue for the sound before.

2) I have a deep love of anything and anybody who goes against norms, outside the box, especially in relation to gender and sexuality. Sometimes I even consider myself an "advanced queer" simply because of my interest in the queerness that goes beyond the HRC platform- give me pomosexuals, people who identify as dykes and fags and then fuck each other, butch transgirls who strap it on and femme fairy transguys, bio kings and queens, nudists, kinksters, poly folk, sex workers . . . people who challenge and stretch my understandings of identity politics and what it means to be queer.

3) I was a hardcore Ayn Rand-obsessed Objectivist in high school and a little bit of college. I read everything she wrote, fiction and non-fiction both, and was pretty dang serious about it (I think I still have a profile on an Objectivist dating website, actually, now that I think about it). Time and learning a little bit more and maybe even losing some of that teenage idealism has softened me quite a bit, and now, like for many, I imagine, it's trickled off into a softer, kinder, and more practical brand of Libertarianism.

(I hope #2 doesn't fall into "sex" . . . I didn't mean for it to. Aack!).

Ok, I am happy to chime in and see where this thread can lead.

Three things that come to mind....

1) Scuba diving
2) Creative writing
3) Humor - so I hope the occasional sexual double-entendre is considered an exception in your mind

by the way.... isn't Florida too hot to be in all those dark clothes?

Three non-sexual things:

1. I love old film noir thrillers.
2. I like to be rather youthfull and trendy.
3. I was born and raised in Oslo, Norway, where I still live.

1- I can pick almost anything up with my toes if my foot is bare. Even a roll of quarters. (Not my fault is you pictured a part of the male anatomy in your mind.....this was not intended to be sexual at all)

2-I won money on a major New York radio station (95.5..wplj) because I was the 95th caller and knew the theme song they were playing was from the 70's show THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER. I won more money when I knew the name of the kid that played Eddie. His name was Brandon Crews.

3-I think this is my favorite thread of all time! I:love:brutal_priestess for thinking of it.

Nice change of pace.....

1. I have a phenomenal sense of direction. People call me from all over if they are lost and I manage to get them to their destination. (oddity I know).

2. I am a cook but never make the same thing twice as I never follow a recipe.

3. I love being six feet tall.

For all you *nice* readers out there (if you're not nice, please skip reading the following items):

(1) Fall is my absolute favorite season! I prefer clouds, rain, and cool temperatures to clear skies, strong sun, and heat.
(2) My partner and I celebrate the change of seasons by brewing mead. We've brewed many different kinds, including apple, peach, berry, and ginger.
(3) Following a trip to Scotland, where Kel and I bicycled from distillery to distillery, we both became raving Scotch fanatics. *cough* ...but lovely, sweet, low-key ones.

Ok, you not-nice readers can read the rest of this.

I'm also wondering whether the Priestess intends this thread to be 100% hormone-free, or just free of synthetic hormones. I also hope that in addition to being hormone-free, we can keep this thread free-range.

Three things:

1) I hide my insecuritiies by being a joker.

2) I love being "in love"

3) I am constantly amazed at how little I actually "know" as I get older.

p.s. i could list 1,ooo more and still not have scratched the surface, good thread.

1. At 69, I am having the time of my life! I have a bi GF, who I should have had when I was a young man. I've never felt so loved, or as well understood, as I do, presntly.

2, I often misread others and reveal too much information, or that which is far beyond boundaries of aceptability. I feel, that since they brought the subject up, they want to research all facets of the subject. I feel that no subject is taboo for honest and open discussion, but I dislike subjects brought up to antagonize, irritate, or embarrass others.

3. I love all things mechanical, animals, and people who are genuinely intelligent, loving and caring. I do not like free-loaders and human parasites who expect a free ride, nor those who fail to take responsibility for their own actions.

1.) I have a huge gap between my big toe and toe #2. I have many people convinced I was born with 12 toes and had two surgically removed. I can easily lob golf balls at you with this gap.

2.) I have more passions than I can entertain, from cooking, fishing, writing, drawing...list goes on.

3.) I work with my parents and brother and feel it will be the death of what little sanity I have left.

*chuckles* I guess I'm just a reactionary poster. I was getting a bit sick of seeing threads about cum, anal sex, cocks, etc ad naseum on the first two pages. Yeah, I could speak of such things, but I don't wanna, so I figured maybe I'd make a thread where others could do the same. A lot of folks have made it a big fucking deal about these forums being a safe place for self expression, and I really refuse to believe that bisexuals are surely shaped by the things they do in bed. That's exactly why so many folks give us crap.

Anyway, new exercise: What are you listening to right now? Music-wise preferably (I'm a total music junkie. I listen to a bit of nearly everything except for country and rap), but if you're not listening to any music feel free to get creative.

Right, almost forgot. I'm currently listening to Doomed to Walk the Earth as Slaves to the Living Dead by Carpathian Forest.

3 things about me:

1.) There are very few people who know the "real" me...and not the "me" that is portrayed to the world.

2.) I cannot wear tennis shoes unless they're Nike Shox. I'll be quite upset if they ever quit making them.

3.) I have a very good sense of style. I have a giant closet full of clothes and adorably sexy shoes. Yet, everyday I leave my house in jeans, a t-shirt of some sort, my hair in a pony tail and no make up.

I am currently listening to my child fighting sleep and NCIS on TV. lol.

3 things about me

1. Feel I never lived up to potenal in live and in sports. I left to much on the table and never trying enough.

2. Everyday my son is the reason I get up out of bed and do things in the world. A few times the pain has almost been to great, but the thought I my son and wife without me is to sad to go through with anything. Some day are so bad I wish i was killed in the accident. Now i keep going just to piss off the bitch who caused the accident.

3. I loved to spend money on stuff.

Loving this thread!

3 things about me:

1. Gorillas are my favorite animal. Beautiful and strong.

2. I've never met a craft I didn't like, except scrapbooking which I just cannot wrap my mind around!

3. LOTRO is my favorite game, right now. It used to be Horizons and then Anarchy...so, subject to change at any time!

Currently listening to: Audio book: Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

2) I'm currently working on 3 different comic books and 2 additional strips and hopes to one day finish one and maybe even get it published.

3) I love to learn.

Oh, I'm completely with you on the wearisomeness of threads about cum, etc. I mean, sheesh, when 5 separate threads *since 2009 started* ask whether men or women give better head...well for one thing, one begins to wonder whether the issue has more magnitude and importance than one had originally thought. Or maybe it was just one thread after all, and I've just been suffering a lot of deja vu.

So yes...our new task! I happened to be listening to "Tell Me About the Forest" by Dead Can Dance...not their best song ever, but a very cool group with some excellent music that I imagine most metalheads would *hate*. I can't speak to how a Cure fanatic would find them...I rather like the Cure, myself, so they can't be mutually exclusive.

Oh I like some Dead Can Dance actually. I've really only started getting into metal over the past year. It's just that I've had a very good teacher and bypassed all the crap.

'Take A Hint' by JR Ewing from Maelstrom, a recent (now defunct) hardcore punk band from Norway; I'm sure you know it Priestess...

It sounds familar but I just happen to listen to a few Norwegian bands mostly cos a lot of good black metal bands have come outta Norway. Eheh.

Right, so I'll think of a new theme later. For now I'm listening to Cosmic Keys to My Creations and Times by Emperor. :cutelaugh Honestly, I don't have much metal on my ipod, currently and yet it so frequently shuffles it up....

Gonna talk music here----I do listen to a form of "Country music" ---a form more real and still close to the historical roots and traditions of "country music" than is the (mostly as far as I am concerned) CRAP that is passed off as being "country music" by the bright lights who run Music Row down in Nashville!!!

My current favorite genre of music is called "Americana"

This is a group I have come to know in the past few years, Chatham County Line from Carrsboro, North Carolina, doing a really great song they wrote called "Birmingham Jail" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEqj0lsCo8A Sorry the sound and video quality is not the best--the vid was shot by a fan of the group at a show.

If you have MySpace--you can go to their site where they have "Birmingham Jail" posted on their musical selections.

Sep 23, 2009, 11:18 AM

Nice change, I must admit ;-)

Well, here it goes:

1. I absolutely love languages, esp. English. And I am damn good at imitating sounds from other languages. That's why I became a translator and an English teacher, I guess. (I'm Italian mothertongue)

2. I'm interested in anything related to Witchcraft. Now, I don't mean the "bad" ones (Satanism's just not for me) or the fake-hip-Buffy style Wiccans. What I do like is the special way witches used to relate to nature and its rhythms and energies. I often call myself a solitary modern witch, as I follow no tradition or specific path, just my instinct.

3. Almost every time I walk on the street or travel with public transportation, people ask me for directions. Seriously. If someone needs directions, be sure they will choose me. I have no idea why... And the same happens to my partner (even worse when we're together!). Funny thing is, it also happens when we're not in our country! Maybe it's because we both have that "good girl" appearance which makes us look harmless. If only they knew... (evil laugh in the background). :bigrin: Just kidding, of course. We are good girls indeed.

Realist

Sep 23, 2009, 1:17 PM

Indaco,

You hit on a point that I recently over-heard............the person was saying that people, who have "deviate" sexual needs, are EVIL people! That's not the first time I've heard that theory.

I never could understand why some folks equate sexual diversity with being a bad person.

Personally, I feel that I am as good-hearted and considerate of others, as anyone I know. I pay my bills and obey laws. (well, maybe I do speed a little too much) I am respectful, open doors for ladies and am polite in public.

My GF, who is also bisexual, is one of the most decent, considerate and loving people I know...how could she be considered evil?

No, it's those who see evil where there is none....that's the evil!

Sorry, got off thread, there!

3. Im working hard to do soemthing about my self esteem. Its just such a project, that I usually give up. I truly appreciate when someoen says soemthing sweet about me to me .. but I cant honestly see any of it.

2. I can tie a snell hook as well as bait my own hook ( we carry baby wipes in the tackle box to clean your hands)

3. I am a clean fanatic, even so far as I take two showers a day (minimum)

Oh no! People on a sexuality based site talking mostly about sex.:eek:

I have little problem with people talking about sex in here. It is just that sometimes it gets so personal and graphic. If this were a private, membership only, "pay to view" site, then I would have no problem with it what so ever. But this site is open to the whole world, and a lot of people judge us by what they see in here. Some of the threads in here make us look like nothing more than a bunch of perverts who think about nothing but sex ..... at least in some people's eyes.

So why can't we tone down the more intimate parts about what we do in bed and confine it to chat or private messages, and use the forum to show the world that we are just like everybody else... We have the same issues and problems that everyone else does. We care about and are concerned about the same sorts of things that everyone else cares and is concerned about. Show them that we are not necessarily defined by our sexuality, but we just feel comfortable being around people of the same sexuality because we understand each other and what we have gone through and continue to go through in life because of it.

Well said. There are SO many times when I come to the threads only to see the same questions over and over again. Yes this is a site based on bisexuality, but like sexuality it is not the only thing that defines us as individuals. We are composed of other thoughts and interests and an exploration into those areas can lead to some interesting and thought provoking exchanges.

Jeez, I even got booted out of the thread...lol...lets try this again...:)

Thanks for the thread, I must say, I dont often reply to the threads because of the nature of them, but am pleased to see this here. I appreciate you for that.

My three...

1. I love life first!...My grandbabies first...then my kids...(even through their in explicable moments...), then my extended family and friends...Life eventually leads to death and I also love that I have helped others to cross over with peace...(I do a lot of end of life care...)...not to be morbid...there is a beautiful part of death that I've experienced in my years. I've become less afraid of it as a result...(but also have grieved a lot as I have a hard time letting go of the "containers" that hold the beautiful lives I've loved.)

2. I love Vermont....it's magical moonlight...it's down home atmosphere...the relaxed feeling I get when I sit near a babbling brook here. I always come "home" to Vermont...(at least since I moved here in 72)...The winters are romantic, the spring is renewing, the summers fill me with nostalgia...and the Fall...my personal favorite...pulls out the kid in me...with the leaf piles to jump in and the vibrant colors of change....sigh...I love Vermont...

3. I love my "peeps"....People have always fascinated me. I like gentle and goofy natures, creative, giving and real....and I love to love them. I'm the always the hopelessly, hopeful romantic (in a non sexual sense)...if that makes sense...lol, in that I make friends for life...so if you only want a fair weather friend....then perhaps I am not the one to talk to.

....and I LOVE so much more...but I will keep it at three...

THANK YOU! for the wonderful thread.

Blessings...Mati

Oh, for Pete's sake, get a grip. Tess didn't say that it was wrong to talk about sex in these forums, or even that it was wrong or inappropriate that this is a major topic of conversation...nobody said that.

Personally, I don't care at all if people write sex-oriented threads, and unlike some of the others who have posted on this topic, I don't even care if people want to share graphic details...if I'm offended, I won't read them (and I don't need a button to be able to ignore someone or something).

But when there are 15 threads active at any given moment, give people a break if they want to start *one* to talk about something other than sex!

Like I said earlier in this thread, there have been around 5 threads so far this year, all based around the question of whether men or women give better head...not to mention endless threads about whether you prefer pussy or cock. Please. Are these topics so endlessly fascinating, or could it be that limiting ourselves to talking only about sex is somewhat...um...limiting? Since bisexuals have multiple dimensions to their lives, it makes sense to me that our forum topics might reflect more dimensions than just the sexual...but I'm weird, I know.

Ok, time to face the sad music...Tess seems to be gone, at least for the short term.

So unless/until she returns, I volunteer to step forward and try to keep this thread going.

Here's my first exercise as new custodian:

If you had been an animal (non-human), what would it have been, and why? (This is *not* the same as asking what animal you might choose to be.)
I think I would be a mouse. In real life I've always been somewhat "small and quiet", good at observing from the shadows. I'm also very frugal, and make good use of existing resources, making do when necessary, enjoying luxuries, but not requiring them.

I believe that I would have been a lioness. Tall, forceful, subtle to the pry which may harm her cub. Relentless in protection of her cub. Can rip an enemy apart with her strength.

If I had the choice...I would be a calico...presenting my colorful character.
Another fun topic...Thanks Annika for carrying it on.

2. I would rather laugh than frown, so I do.... a lot!
3. Inspite of all the wingnuts that are out to destroy the Earth, and everything that lives on it, I still think it's worth saving our little section of the solar system.

What animal would I be if I wasn't born human, I don't know, I don't think there is one silly enough ..... wait a second, there is, the Platipus, lol.

Picking 3 Non-Sexual Factoids

This is tricky as I am on here with a few people who know me, and I am trying to think of things I have not told any of them.

1) If I were every to come into sudden profound wealth, after bestowing gifts on the people who I have loved most, I would buy an Egyptian sarcophagus to have in the living room of a palatial estate I would also purchase. Ideally, this would be somewhere isolated with lots of property and beautiful gardens and maybe even oceanfront, but with access to cultural activities close enough for a short commute (by helicopter would be fine).

2) Pecan pie is my favorite holiday dish. I use the recipe right on the Karo light corn syrup bottle, and my dysfunctional family insists that I provide this for Thanksgiving and Christmas each year. I always use pecan halves, not pieces, and take the time to make them into a decorative pattern. I cheat and buy the pie crust, though. Betty Crocker, I'm not.

3) You wonder what sort of idiot buys aquarium and fireplace dvds ? Guilty as charged. I have the Aquaria DVD and a couple with fireplaces. No, I don't watch them with sex music in the background. The DVDs are soothing to have playing if I want to chillout and read or am working on a project, and I am too lazy to keep saltwater fish, which is a huge time and cost commitment. Laugh it up.

I always use pecan halves, not pieces, and take the time to make them into a decorative pattern. I cheat and buy the pie crust, though. Betty Crocker, I'm not.

You just won my heart.... Pecan pie is my most favorite dessert in the whole Universe. If you ever want to add an interesting twist to that pecan pie, try this: Before you dump all the other ingredients in the pie shell, put in a layer of chocolate chips on the bottom of it.

Yay for something other than sex!!!! I love sex just as much as the next person but I'm also happy to talk about something other than penis and pussy!

About me

1. My favorite foods are weird...Olives, broccoli, and any flavor of doritoes

2. I keep a running list of commonly mispronounced words in Indiana, I don't know why...It fascinates me. Examples----toilet=torlet, wash=warsh, interesting=inneresting, ignorant=ignert

3. I miss my grandpa every day of my life. He was my best friend and he's only been gone about a year and a half. I hope the ache gets better soon.

Now, if I could be one animal....I know it's not an animal but can I be a butterfly? So beautiful and free. I think it's amazing how they glide through the air....not to mention the metamorphasis.

lol ok

1) there is much that I could change...but don't....I fail to see any reason for change that is not needed or warranted....hence I still love the same type of clothes I did as a teenager....jeans boots and shirts

2) I hate saying good bye....its like its a ending, a finale...and I believe that a journey never ends and some day paths can cross again...so its not goodbye... but may your journey cross many paths and bring many smiles.....

3) there is no greater impact that I can make on anything, than my toes against a brick....cos by god it brings tears to my eyes faster than any emotion I have ever felt....

Butterflies are indeed animals (they certainly aren't plants), so they are fair game!

BUT, the game was not to choose what animal you would *like* to be! (If that had been the case, I'd have chosen either a cat or a dolphin.) The game was to tell us, if you had been created as an animal, what animal *would* it have been?

Shy, *are* you beautiful and free? If so, you might have been a butterfly. But otherwise, look at what you are, and tell us what you would have been.

Seems like we're coming due for a new topic soon...keep your eyes peeled!

After rethinking my answer I decided I am indeed like a butterfly. I'm unique, lovely to look at :), and free as can be. I think the butterfly is a very good way to describe myself, as I started my life over at 25 and am now free of the chains that bound me for the first 25 years of my life. The metamorphasis (sp) and the freedom that embody the butterfly also define me.

Hmm.... Three things:

1)I'm a writer, I've even had a short story published (albeit in a rather small print-run anthology). I count the moment when I learnt that it would be published as one of the best times in my life.

2) Even though I hate censorship, it really does fascinate me and I love to research this issue and I could probably talk at length about film censorship in the UK and comparing film censorship policies of different countries.

3) Although I often describe myself as agnostic, I like to believe in reincarnation and a few other spiritual concepts.

As for the animal question.... That's a tricky one. I'd probably say a chameleon because I seem to change (in terms of interests, views etc...) so much from day to day and year to year, also I often try to "blend in" but also have my own distinct appearence and identity. Also, I think chameleons are pretty cool (although I wouldn't want to have a pet chameleon).

Just noticed the music question; I'm currently listening to a live version of "One Hundred Years" by The Cure

Three non sexual things about myself...

1) I love true crime shows AND books. CSI isn't true crime, but I like it.

2) My brothers and I used to have a tradition of seeing "popcorn movies" the first weekend out then going for ice cream or Denny's. My oldest brother moved about 3 years ago, so we missed out on Batman Begins, 300, and The Dark Knight. That made me kinda sad.

3) Sephora is slowly becoming my favorite store. I didn't think I'd love makeup so much. :)

Adam, it says interesting things about you that you would think this.

Ok, everyone, time for a new exercise!

What is the best vacation you ever took?

For me, it was absolutely the trip Kel and I took to Scotland two years ago. For 11 days we bicycled around the Speyside area (between Inverness and Dufftown, and down Loch Ness and back), visited a few whisky distilleries (Kel and I are both Scotch fans), and stayed in B&Bs. We also rented a car one day and drove out to the Isle of Skye. Scotland is such a beautiful country, and the people there are wonderful! We can't wait to go back, and would love to live there for a time.

I like this thread!
Let's see if we can get it up and going again!

Three things about me that do not relate to sex:
#1. Hubby and I have met (in person) two members from this site who have previously posted on this thread!
#2. Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars makes me want to break out into dance anytime, anyplace!
#3. I'm currently battling breast cancer.

[QUOTE=brutal_priestess;141714]Because I'm a total bitch and kinda sick of noticing that a majority of these threads are about sex, I'd like to create this thread to talk about anything but sex. I mean, if it comes up no big deal but honestly, I tend to feel a bit left out considering I like to keep my private life private, especially on forums that don't have a members-only section.

Then why the hell are you on a site like this!?

Interesting timing, you bringing up this thread just as I returned!

Ok, so I did a bad job taking this over after Tess left. I’m willing to try again, now that we seem to be down to what, a dozen members? Do we have a dozen? Half a dozen?

Next question:

Describe your most awkward (non-sexual) moment.

For me it would have to be that time in Beirut, getting out of the clown car with 16 other people, and a woman’s cell phone dropped into my purse...and then started ringing with a rather unique ringtone that she immediately recognized, and she accused me of trying to steal her phone. Loudly. In Lebanese.
