As a kid I used to have mostly boys as friends, I had two brothers
and I was pretty much a tomboy. When I went to University, it was all
women (studied languages), so I discovered the deep friendship that
women can have. When I started working in software localisation, it
was 50/50 gender wise, so my pool of friends now reflects that. My
male friends have women friends and vice versa, we're all an
incestuous bunch anyway.
I tend to flirt a lot with my friends, men and women equally, and
they flirt back. I find a lot of my friends attractive and I make
insinuations and jokes, but not because I want to sleep with them.
It's just to have fun on a Friday night, take the pressure off, "See?
I can find you attractive and flirt with you and you can make jokes
about my boobs without us feeling pressured or uncomfortable about
it". (But only my boyfriend will get me into bed :) I also want to
get the taboo of sex out of the way, and I'm trying to prove that a
genetic 'mono-sexuality' such as homo- and hetero-sexuality for life
doesn't really exist and that your sexual orientation is very
plyable.
