I find myself thinking that what I have to say in this subject aren't going to be terribly interesting because it's not an issue that has a very big impact on my life. Har has encouraged me to post anyway and let you decide if what I have to say is interesting or not, which I suppose is fair.
I am male, mostly because I was born into a male body. I don't particularily feel like I belong to either gender, similar to how I figure I'm Human just because that's what all the evidence suggests. Often I regret that I am male, it seems like being female would suit my own interests and personality better... I would enjoy not having to worry about social matters pertaining to my interests (Fashion, jewelry making, etc. I am aware that the Perfessionals in these fields are usually men, actually, but for casual interest purposes it'd be easier to express these interests as a girl, seems to me) It would also be nice to have female body parts, for social reasons as well. I imagine I would be more comfortable with myself if I could assume that other people wouldn't be actually Offended by a garment malfunction. I guess what that comes down to is that I'm not comfortable seeking out a sexual connection with someone, if I was a girl I'd have people doing that for me. I'd have boobs to flaunt, and people to flaunt them to!
As for sexuality, it's a small issue in my life, as well. There is attraction, but no real Drive. Any desire to have sex is more a desire for closeness and acceptance by the members of society than for actual physical pleasure or whatever people go and have sex for. I enjoy the physical experience of sexual stimulation, in as far as I can experience it on my own, and mental sexual stimulation enhances that... for this reason I think it would be fun to include someone else in this activity in some way or another, if I could beat the shiness that usually gets in the way. but again, that's just a strategy for enjoyment, and attraction to the notion of acceptance, not an actual DRIVE. I enjoy seeing attractive people in the same way that I enjoy seeing attractive landscapes, for the most part. I enjoy seeing attractive bodies for generally the same reason, although at some point sexual attraction might kick in. Hell, when it comes to nakedness, the Acceptance button as mentioned with sex gets pushed again. Someone letting you see them partially or fully naked is someone Accepting you. Not only are people attractive and sexually attractive, it feels very validating to be given permissions that The Public is not allowed to have. (For this reason, going to a strip club, or watching porn, doesn't interest me at all, and yet I'll (usually jokingly) demand sexy pictures from my friends)
