Men

This forum topic was somewhat inspired by Bridget McManus' stand-up clip from Dinah Shore. I've always found it funny when people first assume that Lesbianism is because of a man or men. For some, I know that could be the case, but for me, and no doubt others, it's simply an overpowering attraction to women... that we just happen to not feel for men.

But then I got to thinking... men may have had something to do with my sexualtiy. I grew up a Daddy's girl, and I remember when I was about 14 there was this girl washing her car on the side of the road in a bikini and Dad and I both totally checked her out. So, I think it's possible that I simply ended up like my role model (and when I came out to him he said that he had also had a hard time figuring out his sexuality as a teenager too, because he was attracted to lots and lots of women and his community was focused on abstinence and monogomy.)

Have men affected your sexuality? If so, how? Have they affected how you approach relationships?
