"Partner" is lame for ANY romantic couple from any sexuality.

"Serioso" is a FAR superior term.

I was just gonna say!
I use partner too, but only cos serioso never caught on.

I'm in my late 30s, my "partner" is in in late 40s. We've been together almost 6 years and it's not that "we're not ready to get engaged". It's that we may never get engaged. That shouldn't make our very serious relationship equate to the same term I used for the guy I lost my virginity to in high school.

I don't want to appropriate queer terminology, but I've never heard that argument before so I guess it's something to think about.

You already have everything, normies! It feels like the same kind of unnecessary when straight millennial men who would fuck men couldn't use bi or pansexual and needed to invent "heteroflexible"
I feel using the same words for gay and straight relationships is a really powerful statement. Boyfriend / girlfriend feels a little silly if you are an adult, but we all need a partner in crime :-)

But I do understand labeling is tricky - I say that because I used to describe my cis female self as heteroflexible in the past.
Should I have just used bi? Or the new trendy pan? But it felt like a good Kinsey scale 1 or 2 descriptor of 'I like dick a lot but females are tempting as well' at the time. You know ....... levels - it's a thing.

Maybe I mistyped. I didn't mean it as a stepping stone on the way. Just something that sounds more serious than "boyfriend,' for those people that find the boy and girl in those words to sound not serious. To give to give their relationship more gravitas.

Great new guest! He held his own against the teasing that came his way. A good sport, and a good conversationalist.

I can answer this for myself. I had my first sexual experience with a woman in high school in the same year I lost my virginity to a man, so I was always interested in both. Up until my current relationship, I was always having sex with both women and men. But I never called myself bi. I think that as a femme presenting woman who only has sex with women, but has never dated one, it doesn't feel like it fits. This is more about me not wanting to adopt queer terminology. I don't think I deserve the label because I've never dealt with the struggle. I would be more comfortable with pan, especially now since my current partner is a straight drag queen, but that term wasn't around when I was younger.

Pretty much exactly what Punk'n said.
I didn't feel I was 'gay enough' so it sounded like a label I didn't get to claim.

I am quite comfortable to claim bi nowadays because I did a lot of reading and learning about it but there are plenty of people that don't know that about me. So I'd say there is still quite a bit of straight appearing privilege going on.

Also Bi-erasure is still totally a thing in society. More so for males but definitely also for females.
