April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Blockedbtw, to one bi guy to another. does liking dick and tits make you bi? I mean, i like looking at guys, but i get uncomfortable at the thought of a guy fucking me. or me sucking on a guys dick. but you know, i like looking at men , well, at least furries, because it makes me cringe to see real men fuck in a porno, but i never tried because of the uncomfortableness. i don't want to "experiment" with the real thing because everytime i think about it I cringe and get scared. maybe i'm only bi with furries, or there is societal norms making me uncomfortable. I like looking at big dicks, but that's it. does that make me gay? or do we really know much about what makes someone gay? I just got finished with a psychology class like four months ago and in it they pretty much said that we don't know much about sexualility.

MemberInteresting question.
To be completely honest I'm in a similar situation. I'm...for lack of a better term...scared of guys IRL doing...things...to me. However I have no problem with someone BEING that way or looking into that kind of art. I just get very uncomfortable about the thought of being dragged into it.
I mean I consider myself straight but I have no problem with homosexual art. Actually one of my favorite comics on the site, Weekend, is about a homosexual couple.

MemberFirst of all you need to know that sexual categories (gay, bi, etc) don't actually exist. The very notion of homosexuality is a fairly recent one, invented in the 19th century and only in the West, and born from the tendency of western culture around this time to want to rigidly define everything. The idea that you're either straight, bi, or gay (and some people don't even recognize bisexuality as a thing) for ever and ever is laughable.
Sexual tastes are pretty much like any other tastes: in that there's a near infinite variety of them, that you don't have direct control over them, and that they can change with time. Sexual preferences are much like having a favorite food or film genre: maybe you love them until the day you die, maybe you get tired of them after a while and move on to something else.
Saying "I like dicks, does that mean I'm gay ?", as if that somehow excludes you from liking lady parts, is about as meaningless as thinking "I liked Star Wars, does that mean I'm secretly a Sci-Fi fan, and don't love fantasy as I believed I did until now ?"
From personal experience, I can say that tastes in sex can change and evolve quite a bit. I consider myself bi (since I like boys and girls, with a slight preference for boys), but I didn't start liking guys until around 17-18.
So the bottom line is, don't worry about it, and don't feel like you need to force yourself into a narrowly defined category. You are only who you consider yourself to be.
