Not understanding what words mean isn't an unpopular opinion, you're just wrong
Not about the first bit, that's arguable
You definitely DO need more labels than straight, gay, and bi. For example: asexual or sapiosexual, those don't fit into any of the 3 you listed
Sapiosexual means you have a preference for smart people. Its not a sexuality.
Can't agree more. The microlabels are too much at this point. You do not need mix sexual orientation, which is the sex we are naturally attracted to, with having preferences, which are the qualities we find attractive in a person or a relationship. The two are completely separate.
I guess we found the actual unpopular opinion on this.
That's a very silly name, I love it.
Haha, thanks!
