I don't like people who find my specific sexuality "sexy." [View all]

I'm nursing a hangover right now of biblical proportions. But I remember a very specific conversation between myself and another member of the house party last night. That is, she found the fact that I am bisexual sexually attractive.

I want my sexuality to be a sort of unspoken given. It simply is. It does not exist to satisfy the random whimsy of someone who sees bisexuality as some sort of novelty. And I think this is a legitimate issue for anyone who has a non-normative sexuality. To many, it becomes a fetish. And that's not okay.
