Yes.

Wanting to have sex with is not the only thing about sexuality. I consider myself gay, but I also am sometimes attracted to women. They are mostly beautiful, tbh. I don't want to have sex with them, though.

So that is different. Sexual attraction and admiring a person's looks ate totally different things.
 
No one is purely straight? So all heterosexuals want to have sex with same sex partners?

No. The Kinsey scale suggests that sexuality is a spectrum. That the vast majority of people have some level of attraction to people of the same sex, but that does not mean they want to have sex with people of the same sex. Like when someone says "Hey, I'm straight, but damn that Chris Hemsworth is a handsome man" that's on the spectrum. That doesn't mean the guy saying that wants to have sex with other men, or even Chris Hemsworth.
 
Or a… gasp… actual non binary person. But then I am not sure the show runners were aware back then of non binary people’s existence.
Baby steps, baby steps. :lol: But you know what really irks me? Before the new streaming Trek shows, when they had to tackle homophobia and LBGTQI+ subjects, they had to resort to to metaphors, similes, analogies and innuendos ( while they had no problem to explicitly say "RACISM IS BAD" or "DRUGS ARE BAD").

"Here to you bona fide racists and drug dealers, but for whatever reason we can't show you genuine and authentic homophobes. Please use your imagination".

I'm straight, but if Chris Hemsworth wanted to, sure, I'd go for it. Only if he RP'd as Thor, though.

Some people are overly vain and look at themselves in the mirror constantly. That's pretty much the same thing. No sexual attraction there just vanity or admiration.
 
Showing your complete ignorance and inability to expand your horizon to even attempt to understand what people are trying to tell you. Every post makes you look dumber.

Expand my horizons? So I don't feel everyone on the planet is attracted sexually to their own sex makes me what dumb or inflexible? How hard is it to believe that many heterosexuals just like the opposite sex and that's it?
 
It's like some people can't fathom the concept of a deep friendship without sexual elements attached to it.
In the early days I thought it did a terrible disservice to men by asserting they are somehow incapable. Even though it's very common in my son's circle of close friends to tell a friend you love them. I don't know. There are many scholarly works on the subject of shipping in fan culture.
