I believe it. There's a guy on my street who has a wife that he loves and is sexually atttracted to while at the same time having a "close live in male friend" who the married man is sexually attracted to and in love with.
Bisexuality doesn't exist
- Thread starter holy_secret
- Start date
Funny enough though, I seem to have an easier time pretending to flirt with guys then I do actually flirting with women.GonzoGamer said:
Sexuality is very fluid and not black-and-white for many people, and I bet there are only a very small minority of people who are even 100% heterosexual or homosexual. Someone's already mentioned the Kinsey scale, which is a relatively accurate way of portraying people's sexualities.
But I don't believe in labels anyway, because I don't think you can restrict people's sexualities in such rigid and simplistic terms. People that say, "you're just in denial" or "you're greedy" or "it's a phase" are merely uneducated fools whose opinion no-one should value. Only YOU know what you are; others can only look at it from their own perspective, since heterosexuals can never know how a homosexual feels like, just like homosexuals can never know how a heterosexual feels like.
Bisexuality not existing is about as true as masturbation making you blind.

I have to say the group of people here saying that there is no gay or straight and there is only bisexual are JUST as bad as those who pretend bisexuality don't exist.
I agree with this statement, why should they get to have their cake and eat it too? When the rest of us get cake we're forced to salivate over it from behind a bullet proof glass. I want my cake damn it!!Daystar Clarion said:
If it is, I better end the relationship I have with my wife of 12 years and my male partner of 10 years, and the three of us should probably sell this house we own together.holy_secret said:
Oh no, my entire life has been a lie!
(Edit - this is so ridiculous. If you enjoy sleeping with men and women, call yourself whatever the Hell you want and do what you want. Why do any of us need validation? I was still bisexual even when that study came out questioning my existence! Hard to believe, I know. I didn't feel any more validated when the SECOND study came out saying bisexuals do exist.)

From the article:
OK, so a new study proving that bisexual men are aroused by both men and women didn?t come as ?news? to bi men, but most are nonetheless relieved by the results, because it will help to legitimize their identity in others? eyes. (This is especially true since prior research controversially reported that there was no evidence of male bisexuality.) Still, the more than dozen bisexual men that I interviewed about the study say it serves as a reminder of just how far they still have to go toward acceptance and understanding. Despite enormous strides made in the past decade for LGBT rights, male bisexuality remains a challenging idea and a unique taboo, even within sexually progressive circles.
I think about it logically, kind of like math.holy_secret said:
If you have 4 sexual preferences, since there are 2 sexes.
Starting with the smallest, A sexual - like neither sex.
Hetro - likes the opposite sex.
Gay - likes the same sex.
Bi sexual - likes both sexes.
There are no other options to have, so saying 1 doesn't exist is surly illogical?
Unless I have no idea what logic (and considering my current state that maybe a possibility).
I remember doing the same kind of thing in primary school, seeing how many combinations of things there are with X amount of red and green marbles/apples/lolipops etc.
If I were you I would say to anybody in future "if my sexuality doesn't exist, then neither does yours".
When they point out how stupid that is just say "well, it's what I believe" or use there same arguments against them.
If you can honestly say to yourself "I am sexually attracted to both sexes" you are Bi.
I actually know a girl who says "I know I was Bi from the age of 10" ... despite being in multiple relationships with many males, she has yet to do more than kiss a girl ... I think that is where your problem stems from, sorry.

It really doesn't matter what people think, i get it a lot to, some people just don't understand
That makes 3-4 Escapist friends I have that are Bi!
It does exist. How can anyone honestly say to another "No, you're not feeling attracted to both sexes. I know how your brain works."
EDIT: Hello thread I've posted in before... I completely forgot about this. Thank you necromancers.

And wooooo, although i should be on here a bit more, i'm hardly ever on haha! xD
I think of sexuality as I think of gender. It's all about what you decide you are. If you decide your bi, you're bi. If you decide you're male, you're male.
And in the end if you're in love it doesn't matter whether your male, female, trans, gay, bi, straight, or that your lover is any combination of those things. What matters is that you feel you're with someone who is right.
But then again I'm a straight, female loner that has no gender or sexual identity issues so I may just not get it.
