I had a feeling the conversation was going to turn salacious.
We are so hung up on sexuality ... it's not just about sex in my opinion. Typically a gay person also desires some kind of emotional relationship with another person of the same gender, and heterosexuals want to establish some kind of committed relationship as well. Yes, physical attraction is part of it ... don't get me wrong!
I have seen that a bisexual person is also usually desirous of finding that special someone - Mr. Right or Ms. Right - and a person of either gender is a candidate. Actually, mathematically, Bisexuals can choose from the largest dating pool: both men and women, gay and straight. I see bisexuality as way to increase your chances of getting a date on Saturday night.
On a more serious note, I just want to say that I would hope Bisexual people would continue to politically identify and support the LGBT struggle for human rights, equality, and dignity. In recent years the LGBT community has made so much progress and strides in civil rights and some states legalizing same-sex marriage, but now I see the religious fundamentalists and right wing extremists making some sort of a final desperate push against the LGBT community as we have seen last week in North Carolina. I would like to see the end of "DOMA" just as "Don't Ask Don't Tell" was abolished, and the passage of "ENDA" in congress to do away with employment discrimination against LGBT people.
I would have never thought that from your posts. Did you have a major revelation or was it a phase?
haha. Right? No, I genuinely have a dual drive, but I don't live it anymore. That part of me is simply inactive due to what I feel is my greater calling. No big deal. I definitely sowed all my wild oats!
THANK YOU!!! The biphobia/myths on this thread were disheartening. Why don't more bisexual people come out, op? Jesus Freakin' Christ, read this thread to get a sample of the mindsets WE deal with. (Yes, I'm bisexual and a guy) Some more activist gays are under the impression that one must come out ASAP to live as a fully functional LGBT citizen, but with the unique challenges bi people face, men somewhat more so than women, is it a surprise that bisexuals choose to live on the "down low", or at least on a fairly restricted need-to-know basis?
"The biphobia/myths on this thread were disheartening."
On the contrary. There are more Bi-sexual people chimming in than I thought with only a few quips by people saying they just want more sex (And nothings wrong with that either).
What's interesting to me is some Bisexual people here also paint theirselves into a box thinking that theyre experience and stance is the same as all other Bisexuals. No real surprise as most people look from theirselves out and not from someone elses shoes.
My exposure to those who are open to it are mostly young women early-mid 20s who I know from Pub hopping. Almost no men though. I'm thinking that the men are either under ground or this age range is the primary age range where women feel it's time to explore their sexuality. I don't see too many woman 35 on up who are experimenting like that.
The whole "Bi girl" thing may just be a passing fad too like Katy Perrys
song?
That is because the women 35 and up have tried it long ago and moved on.I think a lot of "bi girl" is a way that some young straight women get attention from straight men. They want the attention fronm guys more than they want a relationship/sex with another woman. How pathetic.
I saw this "identity" in LA. In a nutshell, gays and lesbians were more "stereotypical," for lack of a better word. Bisexuals were not at all "stereotypical," and instead came across as "way cool." Since LA has always been on the cutting edge of being a city of libertines (not sure if that's a good thing), people just shrugged. In other cities in the country, I'm sure these labels would have shocked people.
