So you're someone with bisexual orientation who chose to live in a heterosexual relationship.

Like black shoes or brown shoes, it really doesn't matter to you - male, female, you could have had either?



If that is true, good for you. I hope you know that's NOT most people's experience?

Well, we are all born with bisexual orientation. And yes, everybody makes a choice. So yes, it's everyones experience. They choose who they engage.

According to the "Kinsey Scale" there are those with a definite heterosexual 100% orientation, and a definite 100% homosexual orientation. Everyone else falls inbetween at various degrees (predom hetero, predom homo, 50/50)..... even if someone can incidentally find the opposite or same sex attractive, it doesn't mean that they can choose to be with someone of the same or opposite sex for their entire lives.

Someone who is 90% gay/10% straight is probably going to be unhappy living in a straight relationship, because the hetero orientation is only incidental. Likewise, if a 90% straight/10% gay person tries to be with only the same sex, they are going to struggle.

It's not right, normal or necessary to go against one's nature. Again: If you're 50/50 and you chose to be in a hetero relationship, good for you. But so what? What are you trying to say?

The Kinsey Scale is BS....Don't try to stuff everybody in that box...that's what psychology does. Psychology is not Science.

Kinsey, the same quack who used pedophiles in his "research" and had them molest children in the interest of "science".

Umm..... the Kinsey scale is basically what you're describing when you say, "everyone is bisexual."

So pick one:

1) You believe in the Kinsey scale, or

2) You don't.


I don't think you have anything but your own apparent experiences being a bisexual person equally attracted to men and women to otherwise support your theory that "everyone is born bisexual."

.... because it sounds like you're projecting.
