Sex Etiquette for Hosts?/ Coming out as Queer to Guests

What were the responses like on there?

If your parents or cousins or other friends were visiting, of any sexual orientation, would you have someone over? Just asking this shows you would not. Who you are attracted to is not the guests’ issue, but quiet without being woken up to moans and gasps, that is your responsibility to them. You did make a choice, to host. So honor that. I know I am quieter when I use a host’s place than I would be at home. I would expect the host to make sure I can sleep and feel comfortable. If you feel this gets in the way of important relationships then you have to reevaluate hosting.

Don’t be such a prude. Sex is a perfectly acceptable act. Promiscuous or otherwise.

There is no requirement for you to state your sexual orientation to your guests, I wouldn’t declare being heterosexual to my guests and I am sure your guests have no desire to declare their sexuality to you. If your fear is that people may make inappropriate comments regarding your sexuality you may be surprised to hear that on the whole, people actually do not care enough to even notice and if they do notice, then do not assume they are judging, However…regardless of your orientation, it is likely that your guests do not want to lay in bed and listen to you or anybody having sex in a nearby room, it doesn’t matter whether it be gay or heterosexual sex, so I would recommend you keep your partners at bay whilst hosting. I did notice that you only asked for advice from, to quote, ‘queer hosts’, did you mean to ask for the opinion of only gay people?

I think you hit the nail on the head with this comment. I love that people still equate bisexuality with promiscuity! I never have one night stands but rather I am a single girl and I am dating multiple people. People who I trust and who I would only bring into my home if I trusted.

Hey hi I’m here :innocent:

Yeah was hoping for opinions from Queer hosts because obviously they would have the best advice and experience with this. No I was not looking for advice from just “gay people” this is why I used the word Queer. Queer is a wonderful umbrella term that has been “taken back” by LGBTQ people to signify they are a member of the LGBTQ community without meaning specifically gay or specifically lesbian or specifically any label. Basically you can identify as queer if you do not identify as straight.

P.s. Google can be really helpful for terms you do not understand :slight_smile:

@Cass
I think the latest term is currently Non-Binary or Gender Queer as depicted in the TV series Billions by Asia Kate Dillon. ‘They’ are amazing!

No point correcting someone who is gay on what terms are ‘acceptable’ or à la mode. Particularly when different countries have different norms @KIKC.

In the future, put the @KIKC at the top. Then I would have seen that I was being scolded for my nasty comment a little sooner.

I highly doubt @KIKC was “correcting” anyone, considering he has been upfront about his housekeeper/maintenance person going through a transgender transition.

Hey! Give yourself a silver badge (would have been gold but you’re very late lol). Did you get any useful information from the responses?
I probably already said it but personally I believe one’s sexuality is nobody’s business except your own. Of course there are massive social and political issues with prejudice and discrimination but why bring it into your own home unnecessarily? Your sexuality is none of your guests’ business and neither is theirs to you as a host. Unless you plan to make out in the kitchen while your guests are having breakfast, parade your sexual activity, have excessively noisy sex (all of which are rude, inconsiderate self-aggrandisment behaviours whether gay bi or straight) I don’t see the problem.

Be you. Always be you.

Amen, someone said it clear and loud. As for OP: your life (and sex life) is not your guests’ business. You don’t need to explain them nothing. Provide clean bed/environment and that’s it. Have sex with whomever whenever it suits you. However I’d keep it quiet and private. You wouldn’t want to hear their sex noises either, right?
