Welcome to the stream Sprout!
I'm Ada, a prominent moderator of the stream. (it/they/them)
To be more active just post what you like. Please keep it within the realm of LGBTQ, art or announcement temps (templates for the purpose of saying things that happen in your life).
This template was originally by Bethany, who although hasn't been on the stream in a long time was one of the longest standing, most knowledgeable members of all of us. Don't be ashamed if you don't recognize some of the terms: I had to ask her myself.
To tell you the difference between the labels:
-Sensual orientation plays into the feelings you like. For example Bethany was audiosensual, or incredibly attracted to sound. I have no idea what I am in this category either.
-Platonic orientation is a way to categorize who you generally like your friends to be. I still do not know what this is called.
-Romantic orientation and sexual orientation are two sides of the same coin. I'm romantically attracted to anyone but only sexually to feminine people.
-To put it bluntly, therians, alterhumans and otherkin are related to furry culture (but that's a huge oversimplification- I never got into the culture and never cared to dive into it).
-Being *x*amorous just means how many people you can love at one time. I'm monoamorous meaning I'd rather only date one person; most people are. If you're biamorous, you like two people, polyamorous, more than two people, and so on and so forth. I'm not familiar with the other terms but I could help you learn if you'd like.
Welcome. Please be respectful of others; they will return you the favor. We also have a Discord.
