I think you’re just sexual.
why thank you
You’re multiplying two numbers while ignoring the unit. Think of it like a vector instead = (2, 0.5). The two numbers represent two different axes, so multiplying them together doesn’t really mean anything.
Regardless, initially I still enjoyed the clever joke. 😄Unfortunately, I ruined the fun by thinking about it way too hard. ☹️
I look forward to your upcoming paper modeling human sexuality as an n-dimensional vector in the conceptual gender space
I’m calling it the gender and sexuality space, and it’s mostly based on the ideas presented in the gender unicorn infographic. It instructs you to evaluate yourself on 12 different axes, which means you could view this matter as a 12D space in which every individual inhabits a single point.
Some of the axes are just labeled “other”, which doesn’t feel rigorous enough, but let’s just go with the 12D space for the time being. If you were to collect enough data, some interesting 12D shapes could emerge. Maybe there are overlapping “cloud” shapes in the population, who knows.
Yes but how do we model the complex interaction between furries and monster fuckers in this 12D space? I think we're gonna need more dimensions.
(on a more serious note the gender unicorn is cute and fun and I love it)
Hmm. Furryness could be another dimension…

OK BUT WHAT IF MY GENDER AND SEXUALITY ARE SQUARE ROOT OF -1
Have you considered other models than flat plane? Like geometrically hyperbolic gender? Maybe quantum sexuality where it's a wave until you collapse the function by measuring it?
That model could explain how gender fluidity works. Your gender is usually in a superposition until you wake up in the morning and feel it out. It’s not a persistent state, though, since it can flip back to superposition any time.
In this geometry, all you need are positive numbers. Complex numbers won’t be required since you can always add another dimension to cover your needs.
Then it becomes rather complex
i don't think so
All due respect to the serious question herein, but the joke I like to make in this situation is to say I'm trisexual: I'll try anything!
This is why beginning cyclists ride tricycles as well
Because they're easier to have sex on without falling over?
And if you're not a bottom, would that make you a trisexualtops?
…okay, that's really stretching it there…
Proper stretching is important no matter what the sexual preference.
I figured someone would do something with that (I realized after I typed it and thought - eh, let someone else have some fun, too lol)
Wouldn’t that make you a demi-more? 🥁
~Oh look, a door! I’ll see myself out.~
Coem closer so I can stab you like Reese..... Reese.... uh....... Reese................
Witherspoon?
~😁~
No, dumbass, withherknife.
(Thank you for playing along with my stupid and lame setup hehehe) <3
😂
OP, "mono-" is the Greek root. You're looking for "unisexual".
ty ty. edited for accuracy bc this is vv serious stuff
'Hetero-' and 'homo-' come from Greek, tho.
True, we're just going for intra-series consistency with Roman numerical prefixes.
I would understand "monosexual", but only as an antonym of "bisexual", i.e. attracted only to one gender (without indicating which).
sounds boring tbh
Hetero or Homo Speculative
Related question: if you're genderfluid and pansexual, can you simplify and call it omnisexual? (Yes I know sexuality and gender expression are separate, I just want a reason to use the omni- prefix)
Omnisexual is already a thing. It's basically pansexual, but gender plays a role in attraction (i.e. preferences based on gender)
TIL
Your petition to introduce omnisexual has been approved by the royal academy for the english language

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
