Comments on: Sexual Attraction ≈ Love? http://tiltedworld.org/2008/07/31/sexual-attraction-%e2%89%88-love/ A Malaysian LGBT Community Project Sun, 20 May 2012 15:07:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: UMZOE http://tiltedworld.org/2008/07/31/sexual-attraction-%e2%89%88-love/comment-page-1/#comment-1369 UMZOE Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:45:58 +0000 http://tiltedworld.org/?p=83#comment-1369 This piece is beautifully written. I myself always believed that you can't help who you like or love. If the chemistry is there, it's just there. I have always considered myself a "straight" girl with an open mind to accept and open myself up to the endless opportunities. And then it happened, I finally found someone who I felt could and would complete me. And yes, she's a lesbian. When I'm with her, around her, on the phone with her, I see her for the person she is on the inside and not the way most see and judge her on the outside. For the first time, it feels right....

I have been through a very confusing life realization about this very topic lately and this is a perfect way of describing it. I am a heterosexual female and actually have two people I am in love with, a woman and a man. I am not physically attracted to either of them, and they are a significant amount of years older than me, but I am most definitely in love. :) this article makes me feel better about my situation and makes me glad to know I'm not alone. Thank you, and all luck to you in your relationship! Bravo!! I have been through a very confusing life realization about this very topic lately and this is a perfect way of describing it.

I have the same thing for a dear friend of mine. It is not about being together or anything, it is about the support and love we share between each other which words need not describe. You don't need a kiss to seal your love. You need a heart to love. I can put myself in your shoe. I have the same thing for a dear friend of mine.

Though, it's rather hard to change the general acceptance of the society. And most people are afraid to go against them. Afraid of being discriminated. Sad isn't it? Fair enough.

Indeed, i once thought i was bisexual because i was with a man whom i did not find physically attractive for 4.5 years. [Sexual gratification is of course another issue altogether.] He was articulate and intelligent; jovial, charismatic and encouraging. Though now i know i am lesbian, because of the sex i am physically attracted to, it took much pains to explain to partners why being with a man for such a long time doesn't make me bisexual or straight. Love is natural... i wish you and your partner all the best. :) This article is by far one of the best written i have read on explaining why it’s possible to fall in love with a person whom you may not have been physically attracted to.

It holds so much truth because people nowadays have actually forgotten love just as it is. We're almost living and loving based on the labels slapped on our face. And that doesn't feel natural at all. It feels so forced. I am very happy for you and your significant other because I believe you have gone through a lot to finally be with her. You're lucky, and she's lucky to have you. I don't identify as a lesbian, but, bisexual, maybe. And I have to personally thank you because you've given me so much hope and courage to pursue the 'straight' girl I've been hopelessly in love for three years. She's rejected me directly and indirectly for numerous times, she has been hinting me to get a boyfriend and start a new life, and she's done anything she could to 'tell' me that she's straight. Or she just doesn't like me. But I'll try. Miracles do happen, no? I hope they do. I hope everybody will read this article. And I wish you and your girlfriend can last forever. There aren't just enough happy endings in this world; you've just got to be one of them ;) (Have you sent this article to THE STAR or any other publications? I think you should, because it's really very well written and most importantly, it carries a very, very important message.) This is just beautiful.

"I cannot automatically love someone just because I am physically attracted to that person. I can, however, find someone physically attractive because I love that person." "And because I love her, she becomes stunningly beautiful in my eyes." It's a he for my case. You took the words right out of my mouth. You write beautifully.
