Why or why not?

If so, would it depend on how they present or their assigned gender at birtb or something else?

(Edit: fixed AGAB to confuse less people. Sorry people.)

    I’m sexually attracted exclusively to feminine presenting people and repulsed by masculine presenting people. I don’t really care about what’s between legs but I am much more experience with vaginas. But I’m a hoe and don’t really know what to call my sexuality

    My partner is a pan-guy. I like dick, he sometimes wears frilly things and obtains saline boobs. Fun.

    I find this is a weird question. Everyone is going to be different. If the person is straight, then obviously they’re going to be more attracted to someone who presents on the feminine side. It’s all personal preference though.

    As a straight man, I prefer my women to be more towards the tomboy side of things usually. I like really feminine looking women too, but I find the ones I’m most attracted towards look feminine but present more towards the masculine side.

    Obviously all these terms are made up though. I would say anyone who isn’t a bigot would date a non-binary person if they match what they want. Genitals are obviously part of this, but presentation is made up. Your presentation just has to be something they like. If they like it then tbey like it. It shouldn’t be more complex than that. Someone being non-binary has nothing to do with that.

    All this said, personality is obviously important. Someone can be attracted to you and not like your personality. I guess someone could not like the personality of people who are non-binary?

      What is that last bit even supposed to mean…? Non binary people have just as many different and nuanced personalities as any other demographic. Thats like saying someone is fine for saying “i dont like the personality of people who are [black, men, tall, blonde, etc]”

      Like preference is fine but saying its the personality of an entire demographic is wild

        The last bit was there to say there’s no reason for this to be a question, except for people who hold that opinion. I agree, it doesn’t really make sense. I would mostly group them in with the bigots.

    I had an on-again-off-again thing with an AFAB person who identified as non-binary for the latter part of that time. Still had a vagina, still enjoyed PIV, still had a body I found attractive, so whatever. Only real difficulty was cutting gendered language out of dirty talk, especially with them being a sub.

    Admittedly, I’m kind of a gender-abolitionist anyway. Biological sex I get, I like putting my penis in a vagina. Body-type aesthetic preferences I get, but those are pretty individual in the first place: some people like tits, some like ass, some like skinny, some like thick, some like short, some like tall; there are plenty of women I don’t find attractive but others do, and vice versa. But outside that, gender just seems socially regressive. So long as I am sexually attracted to you and you like having sex roughly the same way I do, the rest is just personality.

    I’m sincerely not sure how social gender would affect my relationship.

    I think I’m too old but my bi kids don’t care and the trans (not now) one has a girlfriend and the mom wouldn’t let her stay over UNTIL she found out that the boyfriend was trans. Now she is allowed to stay over. I found that interesting.

    Brave new world.

    For me, non-binary partner would have to be both a male bodied person and one who enjoyed using their OEM equipment. As I am not bi. But beyond that - if they didn’t feel male or female, not sure I would care. It hasn’t come up so not sure.

    I am not dating a man, because I am not gay.

    A “trans man” is still a man.

    Do with that whatever you will.

    This is a question that’s been brought up irl recently (alongside whether I would date a trans woman) and the honest answer is I simply don’t know. I’d have to be presented with someone non-binary who I’m attracted to (and just as importantly, vice versa) to really form an opinion.

    I lean towards probably not, but there’s been two occasions I’ve been surprised at my impression of a non-AGAB, feminine presenting person. But two people vs. many more cis-women, so idk.

    It is a pretty striking “well, this is new” experience when you’re not expecting it though. And it did get a warranty sold, that much I’ll admit.

    Straight guy here. As long as they have the body parts I’m interested in and plan on keeping them, I don’t care what gender they align with.

      Are you really interested in body parts only? Like (I suppose you’re a straight man), a man with a beard and muscles but with a vagina would turn you on?

          Point of order - non-binary people sometimes medically transition. We might not choose all the options to swap to a full binary presentation but target things which cause us duress.

          Non-binary is under the trans umbrella though not every Non-binary person identifies as trans. There are political enbies or people who see their ambivalence towards gender and sex characteristics entirely as being an expression of a Non-binary experience while others experience the same euphoria/dysphoria to their natal sex characteristics that binary trans people do but desire more of an absence of all sex characteristics or a mix of male and female phenotypic traits.

          Your statement in effect only describes a fraction of Non-binary people.

          They could be. Transitioning doesnt stop them from choosing to identify with a non-binary gender.

          Are you thinking of intersex? Even in that scenario, I don’t believe that statement applies.

            Then no, I wouldn’t be with them if they’ve transitioned. That’s part of the “keeping the parts I’m attracted to”.

    As a straight man I am attracted to women. I have seen plenty AFAB enbys who are attractive. I have also seen plenty of AMAB trans women who are attractive. I have seen plenty of AFAB women who are attractive.

    I once heard that sexual attraction is just a vibe and I really like that description. So if they hit my vibe I am in.

    I’ve been happily married for a long time, but I do occasionally wonder what I would do if I lost my wife. I would probably date by vibes, and if someone I found attractive was interested in dating me i don’t think i’d care much how they identify.

    No. I am very much a CIS only kind of guy. Now would I abuse them or be mean? No. But sexual attraction is all about preferences. As a black guy here, will I be offended because some women do not want to date a black man? No. Their preference. Same here.

          How so? Could you give some examples of reasons that would and reasons that wouldn’t matter? I’m not sure what these would be, but something tells me that we might find the reason for someone’s preference against NB might be similarly important as someone’s preference to not date a black man 🤔

            Matters: they won’t date black people because they think black people aren’t people.

            Doesn’t matter: they’re just not sexually attracted to black people.

            Like, I’m not interested in Hispanic women. Not because I have an issue with Hispanic people, but because the physical features common to the ethnicity don’t do it for me.
