Ok I understand how you can be gay but I cant really figure out how you cam be attracted to both sexes? I'd rather someone that is bi explain this to me
How can you be bisexual?
- Thread starter zackredsox
- Start date
You can't be bisexual for forever, unless you never find someone that you really love. In the end, once you find someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person is either going to be male or female. I think a lot of people call themselves bisexual because they are either ashamed or afraid to come out and they think being just bisexual isn't as bad, or they are just confused and they aren't to sure about there sexual orientation yet.

I don't generally get involved with these sorts of discussions, but I have to chime in on this.
This isn't actually true. You can get married to a man or woman and still be bisexual. Just because you get married doesn't change the way you think and feel. Being married doesn't change your attraction to both men and woman, it simply means that you've found someone that you're (hopefully) in love with and want to spend your life with.
Also, a lot of people don't call themselves bisexual because "they are either ashamed or afraid to come out," it's because they actually do find an attraction to both genders. Furthermore, neither being homosexual or bisexual is a bad thing and those who are homosexual or bisexual should be proud of who they are, not ashamed because people are too blind to see that love is love and you can't chose who you love.
You can be bisexual forever. Bisexuality is an actual sexuality, not a phase. Just because you find that one person you're going to spend your life with, doesn't mean you will suddenly stop being attracted to the other sex.

Sexuality is not black and white. There's a ton of gray in between the two extremes.

Right on! Gotta send a rep for that one.LunarScorpio said:
Anyway, why wonder how someone can be bisexual in the 1st place? What goes on in each individual person's head is unique to them. I don't try to understand it, I just accept it. 😛
Being bisexual is just being attracted to both genders, it doesn't mean you have to be in love with someone from both gender, it just means being attracted to them. The LOVE part plays no significance.
At least that's how it works for me.

My opinion is that more people would be comfortable revealing themselves as bisexuals if society was more accepting of male gay relationships.
Females seem to be quite happy to be open about bisexuality, simply because society gives them freedom to choose. You don't see many complaints when an image of two ladies kissing is published, but as soon as it's two men it's dangerous territory.

I'm not sure I'd go that far. There are tons of people who are opposed to female homosexuality. While it is stigmatized a bit more than male homosexuality, that does not mean that life is any easier for homosexual females than for homosexual males.Conky said:

I don't know, Snobo. My friend was congratulated BY A CATHOLIC PRIEST on marrying her partner (also a female), and then he looked in disgust at my homosexual male friend and attempted to tell him how wrong it was, before I stopped him and told him he had just congratulated the same thing he was criticizing. So....yeah.

I'm not denying that there are a few people like that out there, but life still isn't any easier for homosexual females than it is for homosexual males. In my opinion, discriminating against homosexual males but not homosexual females is just as bad as discriminating against both sexes.Jake said:
Absolutely. Discrimination is discrimination at the end of the day - although what defines 'discrimination' is open to personal interpretation. Simply because one person does not like to see two men kissing in public is not discriminatory - they're not saying that gay relations in public or gay marriage should be banned. Similarly if you don't like gingerbread men, that's not to say everything containing ginger should be banned from sale. There's a fine line between personal opinion and discrimination. 😉Snobothehobo said:
Absolutely right again - this topic is all about opinions and always will be. Certainly from what I've seen here in the UK, if two attractive females walk down the street holding hands it's considered cute, girly and perhaps bordering on sexy. If two 'butch lesbians' walk down the street holding hands they are more likely to incur stares. Two males holding hands is almost definitely likely to cause sniggering looks and (depending where you are in the country) shouts of abuse. So generally I think what you've saying is right, but also to an extent it also depends on how attractive the women are.Snobothehobo said:
As I said, attractive women feel like they have freedom to be open about their sexuality because many straight men will find it sexy and attractive. It's not so easy for less-attractive females, but I definitely stand by the fact that it will always be far more difficult for men.
Despite all of this going off topic, this video is relevant:

LOL good one. I can say that everything here is nonsense.Eternal said:
It isn't a law that you have to get married. It also isn't a law that in order to have a sexual encounter with somebody you have to be married or even emotionally attached to somebody.
I would highly suggest taking a human sexuality course. Or at least looking it up online or something.

Uh, no. As for finding 'the one,' you can compare it to other orientations. If you're straight and find your soul mate you can still be attracted to other people of the opposite sex, likewise with homosexuals and the same sex. Bisexuals just feel that way about both genders. It's not that they end up preferring one gender over the other, it's that they favour one person over all other people.

I just think you can call yourself bisexual if you like to hit on males and females and go out with both types. It really doesn't matter what happens next.
