This is soo not true.

UPDATED: 18 men arrested for suspected sex in Manhattan Beach restroom - The Daily Breeze

18 men were arrested for engaging in [lewd behavior] Mod cut: not PG-13. in a public restroom. I bet a good portion of them have girlfriends/wives. There are plenty of stories like this, men who like to engage in sexual activities with other men while being in heterosexual relationships. and no, these men are not strictly homosexual, they are most likely bisexual. You never hear of women engaging in behavior like this frequently. Men experiment with the same sex more than women do.

I think it was started and perpetuated by the porn industry. Men like to watch two women engaging in sex so there is a lot of woman on woman action. Of course, its the actors job, but some people believe tv is real so the myth has been not only perpetuated but people have come to believe that women are all naturally bisexual because they have been paid or forced to have sex with both men and women.

Bisexuality has been observed in various human societies (Ancient Roman & Greek especially) and elsewhere in throughout recorded history.

This is not a new phenomenon and has absolutely nothing to do with porn or society in its present state.

Because women are more appreciative of other women's beauty than men are of other men's handsomeness. For instance, I enjoy looking at pretty people of both gender and often comment on how so and so looks great, but my boyfriend can't even tell if a guy is good-looking or not. I wouldn't be surprised if other guys perceive my behaviors and comments as indicative of being "bi-curious".

The practice of bisexuality, no. The idea that the majority of women are bisexual while it is rare and unnatural for men but common and natural for women.

I don't think it is a myth. I did an unscientific survey, looking at the self-declared sexual orientation of people on a sex-oriented dating site within a 50 mile radius. There were 421 women who declared themselves as bi or bi-curious, and only 17 men who claimed the same.

Even allowing for the ongoing social stigmatization of men who are gay or bi, and the supposed trendiness of women experimenting with bisexual activity, I think the numbers clearly indicate that women are far more likely to be bi than men. And this is a sex-oriented site, so I would assume that people are more honest than on a dating site or in surveys, because they are actually looking for sexual encounters of the types they list.

I agree it does seem as though more women are bi sexual. It appears to me that more men are homosexual.

I still think the female bi-sexuality is a self fulfilling prophecy. The false concept is so acknowledged and accepted by the industry and society in general that women identify with it as a desirable sexual behavior even though they might not desire to be with women. Just as many women really don’t enjoy giving bj’s but it is desired and openly accepted so they do it to please and be desired.

Curious as to if the women in the sexually oriented dating site, which I assume mean people looking for sexual partners as opposed to relationships, list this because it is more likely to get them sex with men even if it is a 3 way because they know it turns men on. Or if they actually are looking to hook up with just other women.

Also a particular type of person is on sexual dating sites which is not representative of the norm. I assume on regular dating sites women don’t state being bi-sexual because it is not to their advantage to engage in bisexual acts for an actual relationship.

How do you know those people were even being honest? Your survery has no credibility. Men are much more likely to be bisexual and engage in homosexual behavior than women. In a guy's adolescence, it's very common for them to do circle jerks and masterbate to porn with their friends in the same room--that is very homoerotic. And I've been notiicing alot of guys being interested in transgendered porn. I think insisting that women are more bisexual is just a way to deflect away from men's tendency to be much more bicurious.

18 men were arrested for engaging in oral and anal sex with other men in a public restroom. I bet a good portion of them have girlfriends/wives. There are plenty of stories like this, men who like to engage in sexual activities with other men while being in heterosexual relationships. and no, these men are not strictly homosexual, they are most likely bisexual. You never hear of women engaging in behavior like this frequently. Men experiment with the same sex more than women do.
Where in the article does it say anything about engaging in Mod ctu: orphaned. with other men? It doesn't even say anything about them being hetero or bi. This is what it says:

The suspects were held on suspicion of offenses such as soliciting or engaging in lewd conduct in a public place, loitering in and around a public toilet for the purpose of engaging or soliciting a lewd or unlawful act, utilizing a restroom peephole, invasion of privacy, resisting arrest and indecent exposure.

You don't hear about women engaging in this behavior because women feel they don't have to hide it. Many men feel embarassed or ashamed, especially men in high profile positions. You can't assume that men experiment with the same sex more than women do. You're basing your assumption simply because you found an article about it.

Wow, you really need to get out more. Where did you get this from? And college girls don't experiment with their dorm mates?
