Your views on bisexuality

[KittensTiger]

I am a bisexual guy dating a bisexual girl so take these answers with that in mind.

1. If they ask, just say it, if they can't handle it then you don't want to be with them anyway. That said, no need to go yelling it if you aren't asked. What matters is whether or not you are attracted to *them* not which gender(s) you are attracted to.

2. Nice to know, but if it was on a first date I'd be curious why they found it important to tell me without me asking.

3. Is it wrong to be short? tall? white? black?

1) Would you tell people you were going to date?
Nah, just because I don't think that it's accepted in society enough yet.

2) How would you feel about this if someone told you?
By "someone," do you mean my girlfriend? Or a friend? Either way, I wouldn't care in the slightest, for the reason listed in #3.

3) Do you think that it's wrong to be bisexual?
Absolutely not. I think that EVERYONE is born bisexual (in much the same way that bonobo monkeys are), and, were it not for this Puritan bullshit, we'd be living much closer to the Greeks or Romans in terms of sexuality (which is, everything-goes). At least, for physical attachment. "A hole is a hole," and all that.

For emotional attachment, I'd say that in today's society I could only ever fall in love with a girl, but I can't say that would be the case if I grew up in a society where sexuality didn't exist (which, frankly, it shouldn't, and is a recent construction).

There are no true wrong answers in the human experience unless it involves 'kill them all and burn down the village', what happens in your bedroom or between your mates is on you guys. It's not like a school yard where a gal/guy you dated onces will point at you in a crowd and her/his friends will begin laughing histerically, and even if it did, screw her/him, she/he's immature.

1) Sure go right ahead, just dont make a big deal of it like at the end of dinner turn somber and tell her/him in the same tone that you'd tell her/him that you ran over their dog or got bone cancer.

2) If someone told me, I'd be okay with it, especially if I was dating them, I am a open-minded straight man and if she told me she was also in to broads, that'd be awesome. I cannot tell you the flip side because I am not a gal, ya know.

3) Wrong? No. For my experience there have been three types of bisexual I've talked to (could be more, this is just from me). Theres the "I hate my parents so I rebel" Bisexual, the "I am still finding myself out, experimental" bisexual, and then theres the "Tried, true, dyed in blue" Bisexual. I can honestly say I only have a problem with the first one, because no one ought to do these kind of things out of hate or to get a rise out of others.

Your views on bisexuality

I could go either way.

 

[Necron_warrior]

1) If they asked, I'd tell them. Tbh its just another fact about a person, perhaps conversation fodder.

2)Depends. I used to think I'd not really care if someone told me. But then my crush told me she thinks she may be bi and that made me feel kinda sad.

3)Nah. More power to choice.

I have nothing against bisexual people. It's just another descriptor to me except for one thing. I won't date a bi girl if I can help it(obviously if she doesn't tell me, it's out of my hands). I stay as far away from them as I can because they come with the built in cheating excuse. There will always be an itch I can't scratch for her simply because I can't be both a man and a woman.

 

[DarklordKyo]

I am bi myself, so I'm more than accepting, also:

1. I told my girlfriend I'm bi, she's cool with it.
2. I wouldn't mind (besides guys, think about it, if your girl is bi, you have a better chance
at a threesome)
3. Considering that I, myself, am bi, I don't believe it's wrong. As mentioned in Avenue Q, if
you're gay (or, in this case, go both ways), that's okay.

 

[IamQ]

1) Yes
2) Neutral. I'm 18, so about 50% of all the girls I know are in their bi-curious phase right now.
3) No, because it is my life long mission to sex up every person on the planet, and if the majority were to be bisexual, it would only serve to help my cause.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

1) Yes, but telling them as soon as I met them might be a bit awkward. It would need to be a logical time to say it. People don't randomly say "Hey, I'm straight!"

2) If they're a guy, I'd probably want to go out with them. If they're not, I wouldn't care, really. Bisexual people are fine and I'd be happy that they accepted it.

3) Nope. I'm gay, so it would be stupid if I did.

I don't think it's wrong, I just don't fucking get it, I get gay men although if I see 2 men making out in public it makes me feel kinda uneasy and I get lesbians seeing lesbians making out makes me less uneasy and it's rather nice if they are hot, don't judge me, but bisexuals I just don't fucking get.

They are attracted to both sexes, to various degrees. I get it perfectly -- men and women are anatomically pretty similar, and there are sexy features of both.

Maybe that's the reason, because to me men and women are pretty fucking different and if you like one how can you also like other also I am probably as colse 0 as humanly possible and it is not helping me to understand the bisexual thing one bit.

Because they aren't mutually exclusive. For instance, I'm gay, but I get why women's bodies are sexy -- there's curves, boobs etc. But still, men have a different kind of body, but it's not "less sexy" because it's different. Not sure how much this helps to explain... but... it's hard to get it across!

You are right it dosen't and I'm afraid makes me sound like bigoted asshole but yeah the rational acknowledgement that someone is sexy dosen't make me want to fuck them so I still don't get it and think it's kinda wierd. And btw men can also have curves and boobs =)

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I would love to hear your views on bisexuality. I recently 'accepted' (I put this in quotations because it's not like something I have to deal with, it's just something that was always there) the fact that I'm bisexual and I want to know a few things.
1) Would you tell people you were going to date?
2) How would you feel about this if someone told you?
3) Do you think that it's wrong to be bisexual?

Now I'm not trying to start fights, I just want your honest opinions on it.

I think if I called myself a Bisexual that would just be an easy way to put myself into a category if I didn't feel like discussing it to someone. Truth is I am not a Bisexual as it isn't just as simple as, "I like boys and girls". There are some *people* in the world I have liked and fallen in love with, their gender doesn't really play a part except for having sexual intercourse. You could call me a Pansexual I suppose as it is closer, but most people don't seem to know what it means. Instead I just call myself Rose and let people think of me, judge me and love me in any shape or form they want to.

1) No, if I am on a date with a female I don't see it important to tell them if I was romantically seeing a male a few months ago. If I fall in love with this person I am on a date with then my sexuality will be them, I won't love males or females only them...until they cheat on me of course.

2) If someone told me that they are bisexual then all I would really get from that is that they are more open-minded generally. Unless I had a crush on someone of the same sex as me, than them telling me they were Bi would mean something else.

3) No its not wrong, and people that think its wrong or have to ask if its wrong usually aren't open-minded enough or even smart enough to sit with me. *Not meant as an insult*

 

[sharinganblossom25]

1) Well, if you really wanted the person you were dating to meet your family and friends, then I suppose it would have to come up sometime.
2) My step-brother actually told me that he was bisexual. His mom is extremely Christian, so of course she's against it. And my dad isn't the most open-minded person in the world, so he says that my step-brother's going through a "phase". I, on the other hand, am totally cool with it. As long as he's happy, I'm happy.
3) It's definitely okay to be bisexual. It's your life; you choose who you want to be in it.

 

[Link55]

For me it really doesn't matter if they think it's right then it's totally fine. Now if someone is going to try doin somethin to make them feel bad then there's goin to be a problem goin on.
