If women who like to have sex with women are called lesbians, could I be considered a male lesbian?

Question

To smudgeward: I am not a hermaphrodite. I don't even like seafood.

Answer 1

In all truth if your looking for the actual answer,...no. Because those who we call Lesbians today are not really even Lesbians. Funny sounding and hard to believe I know. When I noticed your question I was extremely intrigued and began to do a search on the origin of the word itself,...Lesbian. Turns out the term is coined from an island of ancient Greece, the Island of Lesbos. Sappho was a female poet of the time, one of the first to write of her sexual incounters with women, and she lived on this Isle. As you'll know, in ancient Greece they did not identify themselves by sexual acts, they merely deemed themselves sexual creatures, without restriction of terminology, so now that I have talked you ear off, no. Because if you were to be a male Lesbian, you would have to go back thousands of years and become a resident on the Isle of Lesbos. lol

But as food for thought, or mere interprutation of the word today, no you still are not,... because Lesbians as deemed by the Websters I hold in my hand can only be female, so by definition if you are male you cannot be one of any fashion. lol

Hope that tickled ya a bit and gave ya some trivia that will no doubt start a great convo at a party.

Answer 2

Hmmm... Trying to develop your own terminoloy like in Deuce Bigalo. Sure you can be a male lesbian (regardless of the contradiction). I prefer man whore.

Answer 3

NO.

"Straight" women who hang around gay men are sometimes referred to as "f*g hags".

I once asked a lesbian friend: in view of the above, what would be the name for "straight" men who hang around lesbians;
she said - "humans".

Answer 4

No. A lesbian is a woman who sexual attracted to other women. Since you are not a women, you don't fall in this category at all.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Male Homosexuals are called Gay or have you not been paying attention to the News.

Answer 8

NO, the definition of "lesbian" is "a homosexual female".

I have always been puzzled, though, when I hear (the phrase) "gays and lesbians" as though gays do not include women. Yet, other times "gays" include them...

Answer 9

no, it's an oxymoron...and that is not a diss.....like Jumbo Shrimp or Highclass callgirl. male and lesbian totally contradict each other..but good try.

Answer 10

I tell my boyfriend he's a lesbian all the time....so yes....you are a male lesbian.
