Attraction. Form or Gender?

I've been thinking about this lately, and in my view we're only truly attracted to forms in the first instance, with gender based decisions coming shortly after - and then a cross sexuality personality test, perhaps (depends on how far the beer goggles are, i suppose...).

Guys, how many times have you thought "Nice arse on her", and start to get the tingly feeling, only for the Lady to turn around and be a bloke.

*SHOCK, HORROR*

So, why are we making the gender based decisions afterwards? To me it can only stem from peer pressure/false concepts of right/wrong? foisted on us by traditional views of sexuality and the differring roles that 'should' be played by men and women.

Then I started to think about some of the quite butch looking ladies I have had relations with in the past. There are only a couple of these girls, but they do exist. Factor into play those 'joke' gender bending ladyboy picture collections that get emailed about regularly and I'm really beginning to wonder why I have never been attracted to a bloke.

I mean, it's not the form as I've unwittingly admired the body/posterior of many a man in the street, it can't be the facial features as there are plenty of guys who look like girls, and I've actually parked the beef bus in tuna town with a couple of reciprocals. Also, it can't really be personality traits, because I seem to always go for highly sexed sorts, being highly sexed myself, so in that way "manly", with other traits like aggression, etc being quite spread between the sexes...

No, the only thing i can think of is my decision that the person I'm hitting on, or who is hitting on me, is a lass and therefore I can allow myself to be sexually attracted to that person.

Do genitals really mean that much?

I don't think I've clearly expressed it, but for the purposes of where my viewpoint comes from, I'm a straight bloke who can honestly say he's never been sexually attracted to a male, other than the encounters in the street i have mentioned above.
