Are you a Vegansexual?

i'm definitely vegansexual, I like kissing and knowing that dead bodies weren't in what i'm kissing is a plus.

Seriously, i leave it peoples choice and leave it at that but I couldn't take anything serious in a relationship with someone who closed there mind to something that means alot to me.

 

I only have sex with my girlfriend, who is veggie also

 

i'd prefer to only be with a veggie man.. now that i'm single i hope that i can find one. just would be too much drama again if he wasn't

 

Not very likely to happen, I'm more attracted to other vegetarians but there aren't that many people around here for whom I actually meet their "criteria" for a lover either way so I can't afford to be that picky.

Granted, if somebody is completely apathetic to animals I'm not likely to date or have sex with them, but that's more to do with the ensuing arguments I'd have with them than the actual them-not-being-veg.

 

My girlfriend and I are Vegan together, and screw it up together (lol) but she's more inclined than I am to want some turkey or chicken. My only true weakness is fish.

But anyway, I'd say I'd have a hard time dating someone who wanted to eat meat all the time, or drink milk with every meal, etc. Mostly bc at this point most meat and dairy and eggs gross me out to even see a person eat them.

 

i started another thread in the main veggie forum, not knowing this one was already here:

i find it pretty pathetic, really. i mean, to prefer to date a veggie/vegan is fine, and i agree with that, but to come out with this ridiculous "sexual orientation" for ourselves, and pretty much say we shun the omni population, because of the way they eat? it's fucking sad.

 

I don't see it as really being about "shunning". It's more a matter of not wanting to share bodily fluids with someone who consumes certain things you don't. Like I said before, it's not really an issue for me because I've been in a committed relationship for years and we've made such dietary changes together.

But... imagining myself in that place again, though since the last time I was single I've quit drinking liquor, smoking tobacco and eating animal products, I can definitely see how such things on the breath or even just on the mind would be a total turn off. :ack:

 

well, i guess i just don't notice it/let it bother me. personally, i don't like kissing ANYONE, vegan or not, right after they finish eating. i don't want your food in my mouth, thanks. be it veggies, or not.

and i just think this is taking it to an unnecessary extreme. i definetly see it as a seperation. why else would they create the term? so that, when speaking with a potential mate, they can say, "sorry, i'm strictly vegansexual, so we're not going to work."

i just feel it's seperating us further from the rest of society. and, being a long time vegan now, i've felt that quite a few times in my life, already. granted, that comes from other people, and never usually me, but this is one more thing for other people to look at and go, "crazy vegans".

personally, i would like to see the opposite happen. more harmony between people, especially despite things like DIET. i mean, really. think about it. someone else's DIET bothers you? ooookay.

 

Only having sex with someone who is of the same eating-style as you is pretty damn retarded.

From someone who proudly prefers to eat things that I know had parents and souls, I find it somewhat gross to make out with a super-vegan who will probably snap in half like a toothpick if I hug them and whose farts smell like a wet dog factory burning down.

Still, I doubt I'd make it a dating requirement that they eat a hamburger first.

It comes down to there not really being anything inherently wrong with what anyone chooses to eat, despite military vega-nazis having other opinions, and it's pretty silly to overlook someone's personality and such to focus on them having eaten evil M&M's or Cheese or Beef jerky or whatever the new trendy thing to not eat is.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

but, seriously though, you make a good point. i'd fucking hate it if some girl i was all nutty in the toque about, refused to date me because i WAS a vegan, and she was strictly "omnisexual".

 

My most loving sexual experience was with a vegan partner. When I returned to a former meat eating partner things felt very different. Over time, vege/veganism changed me and it became ingrained and simply right. Veganism is appropriate for people who wish to live a harmless life and who aspire to the simple secrets that are profound. It is the aspiring as much as the actual practice. It does something to you and helps you see things for how it is.

 

Having sex with a carnivore would be like having sex with a corpse. They are full of dead animals and wormzzzzzzz....... ugh

 

Are you referring to my wife sir!

 

If that's the case, sir.

 

I've never thought about it that way.
Does that make most people Necrofeliacs?

 

seems kind of judgemental to me to select a sexual partner based on their diet over who they are as a person. anyway you look at it, something has to die for us to eat. plants live off of dead things in the ground, so you're eating corpses too. if i were to only have sex with vegetarians, i'd never get laid around these parts. it's hard enough just to find someone worth speaking with for 5 minutes, much less the possibility of finding someone i'd have an intimate interest. isn't life in general complicated and judgmental enough?

 

Veganism isn't a diet blah, blah blah. I don't feel any really sense of bringing back up the debate again.
Under your debate, we are eating people. I'd never date a cannibal.
Some of us have aspirations beyond getting laid.
Sure, life is complicated. Thats no excuse for mental pacifism.

 

:agree:

 

I fail to see whats so offensive about refusing to date someone because of their belief system. I mean, its not like race, beliefs actually affect who a person is. And for many people veganism is a belief system, the diet is just a result of it. I've had a girl break up with me because I was an atheist. That made sense, I stood for something she stood against.

Unless your sole goal is to get laid, you discriminate and judge people when you date. Why wouldn't you?

 

My hubby was an omni for a long time-
I was used to people around me eating meat,
neither of us was pushy about our different -well-tastes.
He FINALLY quit eating meat a couple yrs ago( out of the blue ,on his own ,decided it would be healthier)

..the 1st thing I noticed,was he ,um, tasted better.
