GC: Is sexual attraction only based on genitals, or is there more to sexual attraction (e.g. attraction to secondary sexual characteristics, "femininity", "masculinity", etc)?

Ask yourself this question. What's your sexual orientation? Would you date the sex that you're not attracted to just because of their completely undetectable self-identification?

There is more to sex than genitals. E.g. both men & women have arms, but their arms are different. Every part of the body can easily be sexed, the vast majority of the time.

There is more to being female or male than sex – socialisation has a huge impact too. Every man is by nature & nurture male, just as every woman is by nature & nurture female. What else is there other than nature & nurture?

If a man is only attracted to women & feminine men then he is is bi-curious. Studies show that men attracted to trans-womxyn are on the bisexual scale (just not fully bisexual) compared to their straight counterparts.

What is "femininity" with regards to attraction though? To some men femininity is the exaggeration of secondary sex characteristics, to others it's neoteny. The former may prefer voluptuous women (non-white guys lol), while the latter prefer East Asian women (white guys for some reason lol, they'd probably prefer 9-14 year olds if it wasn't illegal "dOeS tHaT mAkE tHeM pAEdOpHiLeS?" it makes them sick).

Are you really this confused?

Heterosexuality is a retronym. It hasn't got the integrity that homosexuality has got.

So white guys who like Asian women are pedophiles? Seriously? Some of them are definitely creepy, but why the generalization?

It's disturbing to imply that a group of women are just "pedo bait".

lol I did a pre-emptive response to this predictable reaction already. I seem to have done so in vain. We agree that Western men who find Asian women attractive are not paedophiles, but sick. I already made that clear. Genuine paedophiles are into babies & small children exclusively. People like to throw the word 'paedophile' around in order to shame guys who are into underage girls. These men ought to be shamed, but 'paedophiles' they are not.

It may be "disturbing to imply that a group of women are just pedo-bait", but we've all seen anime, right? From a Western perspective they already look underage, then the Eastern standard is for them to sound & act like children too, so yeah if a Western man's "type" is Asian that's a red flag. Personally, I can't stand weebs of either gender.

That's not better, but whatever.

How is it any different from finding underage girls attractive if Asians look underage from a Western perspective?
