I know I'm a johnny-come-lately to this thread, but I've actually been wondering the same thing myself. Like I've never really expressed it just because, but I've noticed a surprising number of the ladies I know profess themselves to be bisexual. I once read an article by this sex columnist named Danny Savage or something and in it the guy said that true bisexuality is really quite rare, so I wonder why a relatively high number of them claim to be that. Then again, most of these women are still relatively young, so perhaps it's a "phase?" I don't know. I've seen a few posts cite our more open society and/or being encouraged that way due to society's male-dominated viewpoint on sexuality and/or what have you.
I think its less 'suddenly' and more 'open'.
Plus the population is larger and so the potential for more sexual diversity also exists.
With people being more acceptable of different ranges of preference, more people feel comfortable being other than just heterosexual.
If I were a woman I'd be a lesbian.
Guarantee of no pregnancy at all and no effort at all.
Plus because of the mechanism of sex, women are less likely to catch certain bodily fluid passed STD's from other women.
Perhaps it's natures way of slowing down our ever growing population?
That may actually be one of the factors.
Especially when you consider the possibility that certain hormone structure at birth and certain brain formation can actually promote a potential for a wider range of sexuality,
Because it ain't working with guys so why not try girls??? I mean if something doesn't work out soon for me, I'm heading that route..How bad can it be?? lol
This is not a bias.
But since women do not 'penetrate' and possibly have a closer emotional connection in some cases I can see how it may be easier.
My team and I were having a conversation about sexuality at work.
On this very subject about women being bisexual.
And a couple of gay ,ale coworkers explained how it went with a lot of them.
They said it was like 'comradeship'with sex added.
Just my opinion, but I think that it indicates a lack of meaningful social interaction and deep friendships. We may have all of this new gadgetry to form "social networks" but it's VERY superficial. People don't devote real time and care to developing solid friendships anymore -- and they call people they've never actually met but chat with on the internet their "friends" while having absolutely no idea if the people are whom they say they are.
So, they're filling this void with sexual expression. It's a quick fix that doesn't require time and emotional attachment. Moreover, it's become faddish and "in," as others have said. I can't imagine being delighted or turned on if another woman kissed me -- no way would I find that sexually arousing. But I have real friendships with women and see them only as friends. The gals who turn "bisexual" don't have real, close female friendships (or maybe ANY real friendships) so they don't get the difference.
This goes for men, too. In past centuries, men had best friends with whom to hunt, drink and play billiards, enjoy sports and other interests. These relationships were important to them and they continued to be important, even after the men married. They made time for their best friends. Not anymore -- now, men are expected to cater to their wives and their little new social groups of marrieds exclusively. A lot of women actually resent it when their husbands want to spend time with their long-standing male friends and, eventually, the friendships are diminished. That's not healthy.
In short, I see all of this sudden "bisexuality" as a result of modern people missing the importance of true, close friendships and they're filling that basic need with sexual expression, instead. While I do think that some people -- though not many -- may have a dual sexual attraction, that instance is nowhere near the numbers of people nowadays who claim to be bisexual.
And some of those guys were going 'brokeback' behind the scenes.
I don't know any bi-sex chics and I am female and there is nothing a woman could give me I don't have myself and she had better not try... I am totally into what a man has to drive with...
Why do so many people obsesses and tut-tut about who others sleep with?
If people want to be homosexual, they should go right ahead. Freedom means freedom for everyone. As long as the sex is between consenting adults, there's no problem. Live and let live.
If you want a morality police, move to Saudi Arabia.
I've heard different opinions, from, 'because it's seen as cool and guys like it', to 'because they are more free to be honest about their sexuality...'
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?
If I was female i think I'd be a lesbian. No balls across the nose for me! Yuck! And I'd come after Maxsmama!
