Cultures & Groups - 7 October 2006

I am in my early 40's and returned to college to finish my graduate studies. I have made a friend whom I really enjoy spending time with; however, she is a lesbian. I have no problem with the fact she is a lesbian---other than I think she is becoming interested in me sexually. Lately, many of our conversations have turned sexual in nature, by her taking them there. This is making me uncomfortable and I have told her so politely; though, she just laughed. I don't want to hurt her, I enjoy our friendship, but I am NOT interested in her sexually. How do I convey this to her without hurting her, our friendship, or, heaven-forbid...have her think I have some hang-up regarding her sexuality?

I have never been with a girl but I the thought crosses my mind. I think it is natural, but lately it has been more intense. I come from a pretty conservative family and my values (are not necessarily theirs) but it is hard to forget how you were raised. I don't know if I want to do anything with a girl, but was just wondering if any other girls think the same.

If it does, what should the defining aspects be? For example, should there be restrictions based on gender pairings, age, species, number of partners, anything else?

How do you feel about this topic, as a matter of law?

I am 5% Native American and 95% European. I feel that a great wrong has taken place in our history that has stained the america today. The way the Europeans took over this land was genocide. They almost wiped out and indiginous people that took care of nature and was one with nature and did not waste. This land stayed pristine and the water was pure for thousands of years while they lived here. Now we can find trash dumps that look like mountains. And certain species of animals wiped out to extinction. And today all they get is a little piece of land to continue there culture and tradition. I think we should honor the American Indians more now than ever because they are still here and they are part of the human race which is our brothers. They walked probably where you stand in the contenential U.S. We should honor them with a holiday or give them larger lands. Maybe you can think of something I dont know.

Just wondering if this is anything to worry about?

I just turned 20 and have recently noticed a decrease in involuntary erections and sexual thoughts. I'm in a long distance relationship and everythign was fine when we were together. Its just that the thought of sex would give me a strong, lasting erection until recently whereas now its tough to mantain. I'm just wondering what the normal reaction is for guys my age, if they can get it up simply through thought or if they have to masturbate or have the involvement of a partner. Im just wodnering if I should anticipate any performance problems next time I see her and if so what should I do...

kinda freaking out...thanks

i do not think so but there are some of my friends who are trying to figure out if our instructor is a lesbian. i didn't ever think a thumb ring was an indicator but they were trying to guess if it meant something. ???

this might sound kind of weird but i know i am a lesbian and i am getting kindof depressed about it. i really dont know what to do and i dont know who to tell..it takes up all of my time thinking about it and i wish it wasnt such a big thing but it is. i dont understand why people cant accept it because it is not a choice that i am making it is just how i am. i am just really confused and i dont know how to handle the situation and i am only 15 years old. does anyone have any advice at all? please?
