Let's Talk About Sex.

Sex is a wonderful thing (or so I've been told).  Sexuality, however, is confusing as Hell.  I've dated women, I've dated men, and enjoyed both.  I've been told that I'm gay, I've been told I'm straight, I've been told I'm bisexual.  Since when am I supposed to listen to what other people tell me what I am.  Why can't I just be Pingüino?  Why can't I just date who I want to date, not who other people tell me who I'd be good with?  I am me. That's all I'll ever be.  Everyone has to label, or group, or something that other people identify them as.  Why can't we just all get along with each other without grouping, or stereotyping, or generalizing?  I don't understand why that's so difficult...  Sexuality is something that is fluid.  It's not something that can be repressed as human beings are just all around sexual beings.  Phases? Cycles? Sure, if that's how you want to think about it. We all analyze everything differently.  To some people, sexuality is set in stone: "I'm gay and that's the way it is," or, "I don't date men."  Well, to me it's not that simple.  Sex is biological. Sex is emotional.  Sex is diabolical.  Sex can bring two people together, and it can push people apart.  Yet sex is essential. It is the beginning of life in some cases.  Sex can lead to death in other cases (mothers dying in childbirth).  So why can't people let other enjoy themselves in the way they want to. Labels shouldn't matter.  If you're gay, straight, republican, democrat, white, black or purple, JUST BE YOU.  Don't let anyone else tell you how to live your life.
