BECAUSE LABELS ARE FOR CLOTHING... NOT PEOPLE.
Pomosexuality (short for postmodern sexuality) refers to a nonorientation in which people disregard sexual labels altogether. While it is convenient to sort everyone into a handful of different groups - homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual - pomosexuality argues that not only can these words and categories not do justice to the complexity of human sexuality, but are also grand illusions socially constructed to maintain a state of separateness between people. Like most other things in life, sexual orientation and/or gender identity isn't a black and white, either/or experience for many of us. More appropriately, it is best described as a fluid and incalculably unique journey that is beyond definition. Pomosexuality literally means anything you want it to mean. It means anything goes. And it represents an end to all the confusion, oppression, fear, and restraint that comes with trying to identify with a restrictive label.

Re: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Wed, March 19, 2008 - 10:56 PMPost-modernism sounds so "eighties". Surely we are in the Post-post-modernism era by now? You know... the one where meaning is defined by it's label, not it's content?

Sun, March 23, 2008 - 2:16 PMYou say its the death of the label, yet label it pomosexuality. Perhaps there are multiple definitions of label that I am unaware of. -

Re: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Sun, March 23, 2008 - 2:21 PMI like Trisexual. You know, try anything. And Autosexual. Monosexual sounds too close to a disease. Metrosexual was stupid. Sorry, have to say it, it was stupid. Bisexual sounds like Bipolar. Homo and Hetero are overused.
I know....how about plain old "Sexual"??? Isn't that truly sexual without labels? -

I vote for "Sexual" with out splintering it. -

Meat for you, poison for me: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Mon, March 24, 2008 - 6:40 PMWell, whatever floats yer boat. I personally have always identified as a man who loves men,
as "G" not "GBT"
and have not perceived fluidity or even mutability in my sex attractions. It's a little like this
"we are all bisexual" cant that went around a couple of decades ago. No doubt it resonates
for some people sometimes, but not for all of the people all of the time, and never in my own experience. -

Re: Meat for you, poison for me: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 5:51 AMFor the longest time I only identified as 'homo' sexual because so many stereotypes were represented under the 'gay' label. It was in the late 90's that a young friend of mine introduced me to the 'try'-sexual label. He was truly into the try anything once experience. We met as he was leaving a three way gay relationship,had an affair that simply was too hot for both of us, stayed friends as he went through a five year monogamous gay partnership and now he lives with the woman he married two years and their child. I dunno. The farther I go on the path through this forest called "Life" the more travelers I meet with fresh new ideas and perspectives that totally challenge my previous experiences.
Seems though that the universe is big enough to have space for everybody.

Re: Meat for you, poison for me: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Tue, April 8, 2008 - 10:52 AM"Homosexual" sounds so medical. Like "Diabetic". I've always rather liked "Gay" because of it's history. It seems to imply a sort of Fin-De-Siecle caf`e existence, where one goes through life swathing everything with chiffon and silk shawls, and perching erotic statuary on every available column. One would throw smart salons where poets, duchesses, artists and courtesans of many stripes would gather for tea with a drop of scandal...or would you prefer lemon? And we'd all admire each other's latest proteg`e... maybe have him exhibit his talents, but not too long, Dear ... give the other lads a chance!
On the other hand...this weekend I've really got to deworm the cat...

Re: Pomosexuality and the Death of the Label
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 7:18 AMI'm definately curious, however, I looked at the web site and thought, "this is a attempt at creating a trend". I am queer, was queer when I was 13 and people called me a queer. They knew I was a queer because I was already different, not on the basis of sucking cock or anything physical, but on the basis of being different. I like being queer. Being queer has it's limitations in some circles however, as some people seem to think that queer is gay. If not gay, then a person must be bisexual. I did not like pansexuality because it seemed an escape from queer and suggested straightness. I am queer and everything I have eve done has been queer. I prefer men and never feared the touch of a bold desirous female spirit, but even that was queer to my way of thinking, because queer has nothing to do with being normal. I don't consider myself perverted, but I seek pure pleasure where it is to be found, and for me pleasure easily moves beyond the physical limitation of body into the ethereal sphere of mind and spirit. I am queer. In a post modern world, I guess you could call it pomo, as I looked up this abbreviation, sexuality. My queerness however is not completely defined my my sexuality. It is partly a matter of my taste in art, in aesthetics, in dialogue, in being curious and indulgent. Perhaps I am a post modern creature, but I have even wondered in literature about this phrase. Robert Anton Wilson seeks to engage dialogue on the phrase postmodernism, as how can we really unequivocally state we are post modern. Where is modernity to be found? If we are post modern, has modernity been relegated to the past, rendering it historic. And what would someone term pre-historic? Before history? According to the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha cannot be found according to the thirty two bodily characteristics or be sought in sound, further as there is no body, mind, spirit, being to be found, where is Buddha to be found. Where is pomosexuality to be found. Have we ever really lived in a modern time. How have we moved past a modern age when we are still caught up in the mind trap of war and suffering, hunger and greed? I am so queer that I venture to say, all I really want is the embrace of another that is so moving and deep as to forget all sight, sound, smell, touch, and other sensation, and unfold together in eternal bliss. Perhaps I am seeking tantric partners who are willing to let go of labels all together and explore without attachment the nature of existence. I am currently separated from people in many ways. I don't have a male or female spirit for companionship, and few people care to endure my sensitive nature and desire to practice what I talk about, that is how to live in peace without being hung up on desire objects. If there is to be a post modern world, perhaps sexuality will be the centerpiece of it as the world engages in an embrace that is beyond fear, jealousy, revenge, and anger. How many guys have demanded I fuck them just so, in exactly the way they wish, without consideration for being able to go into a deeper expression of being. What can I say? The demands we place upon each other as objects of desire have limited our relationships with the eternal that is found only when we attempt to love for he sake of love and for no other selfish reason. Words hardly can convey my feelings. -
