Males and Females

Thanks. Having the first year of the relationship be long-distance was a real blessing in disguise. It ensured that none of the time we spent together was taken for granted. Now things have solidified and, as I said, we've proven we can transition to short-distance pretty easily. She's been the most mature of all those I've dated hitherto, because she has had just as much dating experience as I've had. We could call all our previous partners rehearsals for the main event. :p
 
Sometimes people can refer to their counterpart as a partner in a heterosexual situation, I suppose. However, if they've really dated like a year, it does sound kinda gay.

Really fucking gay, as a matter of fact.
 
For a year I had a roommate who was a huge marriage-equality advocate and she made an impression on my use of sexuality vocabulary. Regardless, the gender neutrality of the term makes it a more convenient word to use grammatically, especially in the sentence I wrote above, where I said simply "partners" when referring to my former girlfriends and LG's former boyfriends collectively.
 
Also, 'partner' is devoid of the diminutive grammar surrounding traditional relationship vocabulary that of course was always designed to designate a hierarchy, while 'partner' has the immediate connotation of equality.

:zzz:
 
Wouldn't that make you think about slam death metal though? And thus result in headaches and frequent vomiting?
