I'm bisexual and my preference for women is feminine. My wife is soft butch, strictly lesbian with a feminine side.
I had a "type". My wife is perfect for me and fits none of the types.
EDIT: I'm femme. If you met me, You wouldn't guess that I'm not straight.
I am very bisexual, but I have been much more a lesbian at different times in my life. To the extent that I can be labeled by this list, I am partly to be characterized by several categories: 1. the activist lesbian (I am very active in LGBT social justice), 3. Chapstick lesbian (despite my looks, I don't often wear really frilly, feminine clothes. I grew up on a farm and I'm very Tomboy and kinda nerdy) 7. Power lesbian (I have a professional career as a COO and part owner of a small company with nearly 40 employees), and 8. a hasbian lesbian. (In college, I was a LUG. All through my 20's I was more into women than guys. Now I'm a bit more into guys than women, but still have a part-time girlfriend). All my girlfriends have been very attractive and either chapstick or lipstick lesbians. Not attracted to butch, bois, or bull dykes.
I remember a conversation I had with a woman who described herself as bi-curious. I asked whether she had ever eaten a woman's pussy. "Yes," she said, "about 20 times." I laughed.
I have lived with a lesbian and as a lesbian for two years. I was Bi when the relationship developed.
I found I could not live without a man in my bed for any longer and returned to my Bi status.
For many years now I have lived with another woman in a bi relationship. We have another woman and three guys in a FWB relationship. None of whom live with us.
I think I would be categorised as a late LUG. As for the type of women I'm attracted to it's the pretty feminine type but I certainly haven't lost any interest in men
I tend to be attracted to the older type of lesbian,how many types are there???
Don't really fit the categories described. Femme, prefer other femme lesbians. Love my wife.
Returning to this post and having read the article.
I was involved with a "Power" type. and I was a "Lug"
She was a school teacher and older than me and retained the educator role during our relationship. I was the perfect student and soon learned the ways and means of maintaining her interest in me and the relationship lasted two years.
I live with my girlfriend in what many would call a lesbian relationship but we are both very Bisexual.
What a fun thread, thanks for posting! That article was pretty interesting, although I must say I don't think it was nearly as long as it could have been. Personally, I gravitate to the chapstick lesbian. Sorta a tom-boy kinda gal. I love the butch girls, but I'm not as attracted to them as the 'chapstick' lesbians. In the '90s I thought of myself as a lipstick lesbian, but now I realize I've always been a chapstick girl, just not a tomboy.
I have three famous stories, 2 recommended reads and have come in the top ten in two competitions~ Come in and make yourself at home.
As an observer and friend of many lesbians over the years, I have tried hard to avoid stereotypical labeling. To me, sexuality can be very fluid. Outward manifestations can only be of limited use. I think of myself as straight, but since I don't mind sharing my cum and hers with a woman, that sort of label is of limited usefulness. I suspect that many women can agree on that.
What type of straight are you?
Sounds silly right?
I'm one of those lesbians that likes girls.
My wife describes herself as bi with a preference for feminine women with a soft gentle touch like herself. She doesn't fit into any of the categories in the link.
Very tall, thin, soft butch lesbian with a taste for Italian suits. I own a skirt, but I don't know where it is. GF is also tall, very athletic, and chapstick. I suppose I am technically a baby as I have only been sexually active and out for a year of my near thirty. I was asexual before that.
i would say some where between lipstick and chapstick... i guess if there was a casual lipstick labelll love labels for sure RIGHT!!!
I think they have mixed up types of lesbians with phases women go through. Any woman with a femme look works for me, lol.
Just the ones Im attracted to
When I met my wife, she was living in a lesbian relationship with an incredibly dominating "Butch". I think she was looking for a way out, and I come along and not knowing she was attached, I gave her an out. Unknowingly. After we had been married a little more than a year, she started to see women on the side and decided this was best for her. She's not what was listed, but she can be assumed to be straight. I've seen her with other women, trust me, you would know at that point she's definitely a ! But I know all of her! Been 25 years with her and going strong.
Never knew that there were 11 types of lesbians, but if I had to choose I would say that I'm a cross between chapstick and stone butch
