well, I know some bi guys that are married...actually. I knowe alot. I find it rather disturbing when people associate myths to sexual roles. I used to be bi, and while it was a phase for me, it may not be for others.

one of the major difficulties bisexuals face is the myth that they will fancy everyone. the moment some guys hear that a guy is bi, their general reaction is to think he likes them, and girls think he preferes guys, and vica versa. its less stressfull for a female bisexual because the high majority of men do not mind and in fact enjoy the idea of a bisexual girlfriend/wife. bur for guys, it can be very stressful. I'm dating a bi guy and am very happy with him.

I will add that.

Interesting
Good to know it

Hi
I'm currently in sort of a limbo here between deciding whether I am bisexual or not. After a rather drunk night me and a male friend of mine ended up making out and I loved it - does that make me bisexual?
I hate it when people bully others for being bisexual or gay or something Makes me so mad. I'm a pacifist but the only time I will ever hit someone is when they're victimising a person they think is inferior - why do people do this???

Happened to me alot recently, made me mad also.

I know! It's horrible how some people
are treated. Just because they're
different, it's a call to the "normal peop-
le" to put them down every time they
do anything. Their ignorance just
infuriates me! I don't understand how
people can be so vicious and unfair.

It annoys the hell out of me when people assume u like certain stuff becos of ur sexuality.... for example: tht myth that bisexual men always have sex... i mean come on, that's a personal thing!

I've encountered these in my life. I've talked to my mom about bisexuality, and she thinks people say they're bisexual just because they're afraid of coming out as a full blown homosexual or lesbian. I think that idea is fucking ridiculous. I've never doubted my attraction to both sexes, and don't expect to ever lose attraction to either sex. I see sex as a great thing and it should not be limited to one gender.

There are some really good points mentioned above.

It infuriates me that even in politics, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and other forms of sexual orientation not of heterosexuality is looked down upon. I love the states that voted and decided to have same-sex marriage legal. I don't understand why people discriminate against people who just happen to like someone of the same sex. I'm sure if that same person who discriminated had met the "other" sexual orientation besides heterosexual in a heterosexual setting, then they would have probably liked the person. But since they are not, they discriminate and belittle that same person who would have possibly been a good friend.

I just don't get people sometimes. It just makes me angry and wanted to vent to people who would understand.

If anybody has anything else to add, I would love to read it.

I hate super christian homophobes who think that being gay is a disease and that it needs to be cured! what ignorance!

I consider myself bisexual. While it can be a phase for some people, for other people it isn't. I have always known I had an attraction to both girls and guys, and for a young kid that can be very confusing. When I finally got up the courage to tell my Catholic parents, I was kicked out of my house. My parents haven't spoken to me since I was 14. I live in an appartment with my best friend. Sometimes being different is difficult and believe me I know it. But if you are different, don't be ashamed of it.

This thread has helped a lot being bi i always feel like you have to live up to some sort of label where im just me a normal person. I also tried the same with my mum and she said the exact same thing. She thinks its just a "phase" and that ill eventually choose. That may or may not be true but i dont know its just not fair when i know i like both.

I agree with that thread. "I see sex as a great thing and it should not be limited to one gender."

my opinion on sexuality:
I agree with anyone who said or implied that there is more to sexuality than just the labels we use. I believe that the labels are what we consider points on the spectrum of sexuality. Say you had a line with points A, B and C. A and C are the end points, and B is an equal distance in between. If you were to place something on the line, it would never be exactly on the point. If it were, then the point would be not a point but a section of the line. If it is a section, that means that everything in this section could and are in different spots on the line. It's the same with sexuality. Were A homosexuality, B bisexuality, and C heterosexuality, then either you claim them points and no one can consider themselves homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual, or they are segments and people in those segments can lean a little off-balance relative to someone else. So if you say that a guy is heterosexual, then he is in a section that means he likes mostly people of the opposite sex. That doesn't mean he can't like guys, too. There is a large chance that every sane human being has experienced some heterosexual attractions and some homosexual attractions. It's disturbing, though, how the majority of people I know (other than my close friends) are homophobic. they believe that homosexuality is wrong. They may not always be homophobic, but some will. Those will be the ones who crush out any hint of homosexuality in themselves. Those will be the ones killing gays and lesbians. They are the mentally unstable ones, not the open minded. I personally do not like labels. Break up the spectrum of sexuality into thirds: the left third homosexuality, the right third heterosexuality, and the center third bisexuality. what happens when 66% of the people you like are of the opposite gender, while 33% are of the same. what would you be? You would be in the middle, in between bisexuality and heterosexuality. With the slightest imbalance you could consider yourself one or the other, but you shouldn't base your sexuality off of a slight imbalance. Especially teenagers like myself. I may be able to say that all but five of my many past crushes have been male, but that doesn't mean I'm necessarily straight. however, five homosexual crushes don't make me bisexual either. so what am I, if I am between? Do you understand now why I loathe these labels so much?
sorry for the strangeness, it's copied from another forum. (I still wrote it, just originally on a different site)
yeah. my opinion.
that's all.

I cannot stand the ignorance of some people believeing that you MUST be gay or straight. They don't seem to understand that there is a middle ground where one can be attracted to both sexes. I am bi, and although I "lean" more straight, I have had girlfriends before. It's frustrating when people think that I'm "confused" and can't decide whether I'm gay or straight. I'm not confused. I know exactly what, and who, I like.

I'm the same. I consider myself bisexual and I've known even when I was a kid. Even though I was torn when I was 15 whether I was gay or not, I realized when I turned 16 that I was actually bisexual. I don't have anything to hide or be ashamed of. Even if my parent's may or may not accept me for who I am. :wink:

I'm very confused. i have always dreamed of marrying the girl of my dreams and starting a family, but for a while i have been experiencing bisexual thoughts and i've been confused on whether i really am bisexual or not. i don't want to be bi though i don't feel right but i can't help the thoughts and actions and i certainly don't want to tell anyone close to me even friends I'm afraid of what they think, to add to this tug of war i seem to think that if i tell everything will seem a lot better. but i don't know what i am, HELP ME PLEASE?
