Any bisexuals here? [Archive]

Actually I'm not one and sorry for sounding like a jerk - I'm just curious about bisexual mac geeks that's all! ;)

And what does it take to consider yourself bisexual, I guess that is a personal matter, but in general is it enough to have the potential to be sexually attracted to people of both sexes or do you have to be equally open to a long term relationship with people of both sexes?

Feel free to have fun with this thread, but I am also genuinely curious about hearing from someone who consider themselves to be bisexual.

According to a study (http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/110/109804.htm?pagenumber=1), most bisexual men only think they are bisexual (they actually aren't).

And according to Albert Kinsey, everyone is bisexual to some extent. He said that sexuality is a scale....and you might be 99% straight and 1% gay for example (or vice versa or anywhere on the scale).

Not quite. I'm still waiting for the "Any asexuals here?" thread.Consider the humble tapeworm, master and mistress of its own sexuality:
Engels put this pithily in his Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State: "If strict monogamy is the height of all virtue, then the palm must go to the tapeworm, which…spends its whole life copulating in all its sections with itself. Confining ourselves to mammals, however, we find all forms of sexual life—promiscuity, indications of group marriage, polygyny, monogamy. Polyandry alone is lacking—it took human beings to achieve that." (Engels was wrong about polyandry, but his point still holds.)

Interesting, but the study seems to have several weaknesses. Only 33 men who identified themselves as bisexuals participated, and here's a quote from some critics:
"About a third of the people had no response to any of the porn, whether they identified as gay, straight, or bisexual," she says. "The researchers said this means they had no response, so throw this data out. Yet they said that when bisexual men did not respond to all of the videos, it meant they were gay or straight."
They could at least have used some quality porn :p

Some men are so pretty that I consider men who are attracted to them to be bi. My room mate is attracted to very pretty model men, and it makes me question his sexual orientation. :cool:

But I am as far from bi as one could get. Some may recall my suffocation by jello comment.

Sorry, not bisexual. Just a boring straight guy. But I think hot bisexual woman are kind of cool. Potential two-for-one coupons with those ladies (their girlfriend might join the fun).

Way back when I was considering what club to join, I couldn't afford two joining fees. So, rather than copping in or out I just followed the GayWay, besides sitting on the fence is damned uncomfortable in my opinion.

not having a go or anything, or trying to start a flame war. but i've never understood the whole bisexual thing. its like men and women are here to make kids and continue the human race. if you're gay (which is cool and all) then its like people say "oh you're born with [opposite genders] brain/hormones" etc... which i suppose is true to a degree. its all chemicals and hormones right?
but there just doesn't seem to be any point to bisexuality. if you believe in a god then its pointless (and wrong, because to be bisexual then surely you would have had to have sex with more than 1 person?).

sorry. my heads not quite working right. tired :)

my personal belief is that its all cool and great just dont come onto me :P oh and if i was religious i'd shout from the rooftops that you're not abiding to gods law and hell shall welcome you blah blah ;) but im not... for now :eek:

have fun with yourselves. whatever sexuality you are; you're probably a mac user and therefore cool with me :)

So being gay or lesbian is like having the wrong brain in the wrong body?

I didn't say that was my belief. it seems to be said a lot about homosexuals and transexuals that they were born with the right brain in the wrong body. or so thats what Nadia and that famous transexual Bond girl said.

Yeah. So?

so its against my personal belief about sleeping around :) im not religious but sleeping around is a huge no no in my books. waiting for marriage i be.

i have more girl friends than guys. guys tend to be too "guyish"... obviously. drink too much. put on a transparent front to impress the girls. always gunning to be number 1... nah. my guy mates are nothing like that. we dont drink, we go on mad adventures in the countryside (think Last of the Summer Wine but 60 years prior :D ).

um. yea. girls are more gentle and funny. im closer to my mum than my dad if that means anything! whereas my girlfriend is closer to her dad... i think.

I dunno - I figure that if you're bisexual you are open to anyone in the world being the 'right' one, which in my book is about the best you can be. Doesn't mean sleeping with anyone. Although you can if you want to. :D

I dunno. I guess I'm officially bisexual. And I'm officially not confused. At all. :) I wouldn't usually post such a thing, but I know it screwed me up for a while, and if someone felt a bit more sorted from reading it that would be cool.

In the past, I was really picky about who I went for, but I did like boys and girls. In that spirit, I went out with boys and girls. As you do.

Now, I'm with my fiance. He happens to be a man. He is also my best friend and I fancy the pants off him. I don't fancy anyone else, male or female, partly because I'm with him and I don't think it's a good thing to go round lusting after other people when you're in love with someone, and partly because I just don't fancy anyone else when I'm with him, because he is awesome. So I guess being bisexual is irrelevant when you've met the right person, because you're with them and that's it.

I feel it's become less relevant over the years, mainly because I've had more of a f*ck it attitude as time went on, and I've figured that any headf*cking (and yes, there was a lot of headf*cking) that went on was due to me having to say "I am this, I am that" and I just can't be arsed anymore. Since I decided not to worry about it, and just go for who I really liked, I have been far happier, and as a bonus have met my soul mate. I'm not fond of the term "soul mate", but he kinda is. :)

And I feel really comfortable, knowing that I haven't missed out, and that I know what's going on, and I'm not going to be suddenly thrown by someone of, say, the same sex, because I know that he's the one, because I've been there. I know you can't predict who you'll meet in the future, but I feel happy that he's it. Although it's been a hell of a journey, I've ended up happier and more grounded than so many more people I know.

Funnily, that was one of the things that screwed up my head for a while. For some reason, it was ok to be monogamous if you were straight or gay, but every bisexual I knew would seem to be sleeping with a good handful of men and women at the same time, which wasn't really my bag, baby. :D

I'm a straight male, but does dating a lesbian count? Yeah, still going through that for those who might be wondering. Now she says she confused. SHE's confused. :confused: Imagine how I feel. Guess that makes her bi. I think she just can't admit that she's a lesbian, but it's nice that she humors me. I still think she's worth it.

In my experiance, most of the guys I know who claim to be bi are just gay. But most of the women were just slutty (not that there's anything wrong with that). Not saying that means anything, just what I've seen.

No, they're gay. Have only known a few, but all either turned out to be gay or only have sex with men. Maybe I should have said people I know rather than friends, and I'm not meaning to say that about all bisexuals. Just the few that I've known.

I guess it depends on how you define bisexual. Is it based on emotional attachments to both sexes, is it based on a physical attraction to both sexes, or is it a combination of both?

I self identify as Gay today. But an ex Gay lover that did introduce me to a woman that that I truly loved, and was engaged to (don't ask, it deals with dead step-fathers and rediscovering of her religious roots).

Could I find myself loving a woman today, as I did with my ex Gay lover? Could be. For me it is about the emotional attachment, not the physical sex. Physical sex is an added bonus. The cuddling, the kisses, and the such mean so much more to me in the long run (not to mention the "love" between two people).

You hit on something there though. Some call themselves to be bi-sexual in order to double their chances, or to make themselves "acceptable" in societies eyes.

This thread has given me some thought as to whom I have loved in my 47 years - or should I say since HS (truly loved, that is - meaning that I would have given and done almost anything for them).

The count:

Two girls in HS and in the first year in college. And one girl that I met through a Gay lover. On the boy side, I have had four guys that I would count as "true" lovers (others might be considered "flings").

Today I consider myself to be Gay. But since I have had some "petting" experience with women, I am open to sexual exploration, but more importantly emotional support with who ever I am with .

My girlfriend is bisexual. She had her first crush on a girl. Had her first sexual experience with a girl.

She's definitely open to a long-term relationship with either sex, just as Lau mentioned before. It just so happens that we found each, and seem to be quite happy this way.

On a naughty note...She always "jokes" about how much she loves p***y. :D :D :eek:
