I find it to be very weird. But I think it is because women have discovered that they can live without sex from a man. And they can get their emotional needs met by women. Men usually cannot relate to women very well.

I'd think there'd have to be a certain amount of attraction though, but then, you did say you find it weird.

The truth may be somewhere in between, I think. It definitely is a socio-cultural phenomenon, because like even 15 years ago it was quite a stigma to say you were bisexual or a lesbian. Then suddenly, from the early 00s, I suddenly heard alot of talk about threesomes, 'experimenting with the same sex' blah blah. I honestly think alot of women are kind of encouraged to go that way, it's like we may all have the seed of potential, but it's watered by our environment. I actually think pornography has alot to do it because like, at least 30% of internet porn seems to be lesbian/girl on girl. Women are also conditioned to see females as the more 'sexy' or desireable gender because of the male dominated viewpoint of sexuality.

I think it's true women's sexuality is fluid but men's is probably more fluid than they think. The strength of the stigma is so strong it kind of drowns everything out. If more women than men are bisexual why has bisexuality seemed to be more common in men in history? I don't think social pressures are the reason because if anything male homosexuality has been stigmatized more than female.

For awhile I admit I had a lesbian porn addiction but I'm kind of getting over that a bit. This may sound ridiculous, but it almost seems some women would rather date a really attractive woman rather than an unattractive man? I'd imagine that would feel quite emasculating for some. Do you think that'd be common or is it my imagination? Feminism encourages women to be with other women so they can supposedly 'know their own bodies better' as if they don't already have access to them 24/7, lol.

I'm not going on a crusade against it (ok I admit after watching enough lesbian porn and waking up to the fact I was getting no 'action' because I was a loser who stayed home and watched this **** while at the same time I wasn't getting any dates kind of skewed with my mind), it just seems society has a real fetish over it, it's like in your face with all these celebrities suddenly 'coming out.' I'm willing to bet if this was thirty years ago most would still be in their imaginery 'closets.'

Someone said something sounded quite ridiculous, that men have more 'competition' for hot women from other women, lmao. Even 10 years ago true bisexuality seemed rare now suddenly 'enlightened' women are just getting in touch with their sexuality. I don't want to degrade lesbians but it seems more like not caring about the gender and doing it out of erotic pleasure, like a kind of mutual masturbation. Maybe we're not really all bi, but simply have the capacity to gain erotic pleasure from both genders? Like Bonobos or something?
Republican men got all the money?

There's no shortage of "lesbians" who suddenly become straight when they wanted their bills paid off by guys.

Why are so many women suddenly bisexual?
Maybe their interactions with men whose behavior is similar to certain men on this forum who shall remain unnamed has caused them such psychological trauma that they're questioning their own sexuality and looking for something better.

Maybe because young women consider Gen Y men less than totally masculine?

Oh Lord, no. I'm sorry, but if you're truly a heterosexual, no amount of bad male behavior or even abuse could turn you toward a woman. Trade male cluelessness or boorishness in for catty remarks, competitiveness and "mean girl" syndrome? NO WAY!

The real choice for those who feel they need to swear off men is to be happily single, indulging one's own interests and feeding one's own spirit.

Because "I kissed a girl and I liked it"...
Seriously, bisexuality is nothing new...I actually think, religious views aside, that if pressed, we would find that most people are bisexual to one extent or another...it's just that we choose to ignore it because it's not presented to us or we're more fully attracted to one sex or another...and people are now freer about acting out things that previously were more often kept as fantasy. But all things being equal, if two straight people were stranded on a desert island for a long period of time, their bisexuality might come to be expressed at some point...

I don't think there's anything sudden about it either. The net allows us to be aware of things we wouldn't other wise know about it. I lived in the keys in the early 90s and many brands of sexuality were present. Not to rain on anybody's parade, tho. I'm sure there are some people out there following trends so ya'll can talk about them (said trends) on the net.
