    I just saw someone right here on Lemmy in another thread conflating sexuality with sex.

    It astounds me that in 2025 people don’t understand that sexuality is about attraction. You can be a virgin. You can be asexual and still attracted to people of your own gender. You can be gay or bi or whatever regardless of how much or how little sex you’ve ever had.

      Because a lot of the traditional hetero relationships that Christians have are only different from their other relationships because of the sex. They don’t get an emotional and spiritual connection in their relationship, and protect on to others that it’s the same.
