to your friends, lover, family, etc.? Do men feel this way?

I have found that very strong, sensuous women can be intimidating to others. I have often found myself masking my feelings or thoughts, even to partners. I had a partner who was extremely uncomfortable with my past sexuality, and broke an engagement because of it. I don't discuss sex at all with my family. I've known other women, whatever orientation, to start their sentences, "I'm sorry, but I really feel this way" about sex. The apology is built in, whether they realize it or not. It's almost as if we are expected to look like "sex kittens" but if we are "too interested in sex itself" then we are whores. It's interesting, and I was wondering if men do face the same double standards, "be sexy (looking) but not sexual (active)" from anywhere. And how often do people real feel comfortable having a real conversation with anyone else about sex? There just aren't many outlets as far as I can tell.

Woman do not really need to apologise for the sexuality, and so does not for me, it just how god create us and those people who fight for rights no matter is man or woman is just selfish being who advance personal interest.

There is not much point asking Women how Men feel. They have even less idea than We do. I personally do not see a need to be apologetic for being a Man any more than I would expect a Woman to apologize for Her sexuality (or sensuality).

Well, considering I'm always wrong...I always apologize. However, on the rare occasions that my husband was actually wrong, I was the one to apologize. I just want to be okay...and will apologize to keep the peace and feel him next to me. He used to hold a grudge for days...although now days he's doing a lot better. When my husband makes me really upset, I do the whole kill him with kindness bit. Just the price you pay for being a wife. He puts up with me, so I put up with him. Its only fair.

NO because my husband and I both know that we were not each others firsts and that we were different people back then. We are mature enough to appreciate each others experiences and realize we would not be who we are without them. I appreciate all the girls who taught my husband those things he does in the bedroom as well as the other way around. I appreciate that they let him go and he let them go so I could gain from their loss.
The past is the past and we have an open communication about our past sexual experiences.

Never and no woman should apologize for her sexuality. That's like constantly apologizing for being created in the first place. A woman should embrace her sexuality no matter what it may be. Religious people may not like it, yet in truth it is out of their hands.
If you are talking about what I think you are talking about I am straight.

I don't, but men do.
Men are constantly shamed for their sexuality. Hysteria about rape, sexual harassment and so forth adds to this.
It is a common thread in feminist speech to label men as sex crazed perverts or act offended at a man's sexual advances regardless of the circumstances.

Yes, I do. I'm not trying to say "Every lesbian girl and/or straight guy want me" it's not like that. But I do find that apparently my love for hugs and total disregard for the fact that some people aren't as open as I am seems like I'm "leading people on" and I end up "hurting" them. I do apologize for this, because I really don't like to hurt anybody who doesn't deserve it. And if I like any person enough to hug them, I definitly don't want them hurt.

No. Never. It's definately part of my identity and not something I would ever apologize for, because I'm not sorry.
I'm a lesbian. I'm poly. I like sex. If it scares, upsets, or offends someone, that's their problem.

i never apologize for it and have never been asked to, i have however felt pressure from other "enlightened" feminists to explain why I practice my sexuality the way that I do. makes you wonder just how enlightened they really are.

No. Why should I? And as far as I'm aware my husband doesn't talk about his sexuality either.
