opinions on bi-sexuals

[Kardan]

It exists, but there's far fewer then people claim. I knew many people that claimed to be bisexual, but I honestly think they were saying it just because they could. They would say other people of the same gender looked hot, but I could say that and I'm striaght. All these people that said they were bisexual, I've never actually seen be in a relationship with the same gender.

[Yawn]

they r greedy

[Phil]

Like what Chris said, I believe that people can be bi-sexual and I hate this whole 'their greedy' attitude. I think the people who say this are really just jealous because they secretly want their bit from another member of their sex.

People seem to be posting their own sexual preferences is this thread and although it may be hard to believe, I would consider myself straight. In saying that, I wouldn't hesitate in saying that a guy was attractive. Like if someone asked me if a guy was hot and they were I'd be like "HELL YEAH" but personally, I don't think I could ever date a guy

[lawrawrrr]

People often say it doesn't exist because people usually settle down with one or the other; and society would then change their definition of that person to either 'gay' or 'straight' even though the person may still identify as bisexual.

The thing is, even if people don't think it exists, it's a subjective thing and if someone thinks they are attracted to both sexes and wants to put a label on it then let them! It doesn't affect anyone else.

I'd consider myself bisexual although most of the people I know wouldn't believe me if I said because I've never had a long-term relationship with another female and I've had a steady stream of boyfriends (that sounds bad but you know what I mean). Thing is, like a lot of other bisexuals I know, are attracted in different ways - I'm attracted to females physically and sexually, and males romantically and intellectually. So I tend to look for female... encounters and male relationships.

I also agree that a lot of people use 'bisexual' as a term before they discover what they really are, especially in men, because if a young boy was to suddenly come out as gay I think a lot of people would be shocked, and it's natural to progressively divert from the social 'norm' - once again a horrible way of putting it but I hope you understand!

The other annoying thing is when some people (more girls in this instance) use bisexuality as a 'hotness enhancer', kissing their girl mates in clubs for drinks, on tumblr like omfg i'm so bisexual look how hot i am, when it's pretty clear on further inspection they have no strong feelings for women whatsoever. That just devalues the whole thing and makes society hate on the word and the people that identify as it, which isn't fair.

TL;DR

let people be what they want to be

I can also vouch for the bisexual before gay theory. I first came out to my ex-girlfriend and thought it would be too awkward to say I was completely gay and our entire relationship was a "lie". I did have feelings for her -- they just weren't sexual at all. Easier to just say I was bi.

Oh also, I can't stand the whole "pansexual" business. I think people are trying too hard to be morally correct by claiming love is love regardless of gender -- newsflash: that's called bisexuality. I'm glad you're a free spirit but you don't need a new name for it.

Erm i don't call myself bisexual cause i just fancy whoever I fancy, apparently there's a different name to that rather than bisexual tho, I just say bisexual to uncomplicate things but yh im sure it does exist, the word is just overused for a straight girl thinking a girl is hot WHAT GIRL DOESN'T FANCY OTHER GIRLS THO

It's called pansexual, I think

ot; I really don't think it exists, kind of more of a fad than anything

[Samantha]

I think it does exists, one of my older best friends on this forum once told me all her exes and I was there thinking, wait you dated a girl? As I honestly didn't know her sexuality, she was in a long term relationship with her, but she has also had long term relationships with men too. However, I don't believe that she has just settled down with one gender, she may likewise with many others prefer one or feel more attracted to one than the other. That's not to class her as straight or lesbian as the feelings are there for both genders.

I do class myself as straight, but I believe I've been bi curious for a while, although I wouldn't know unless the encounter came about, I know I'd kiss a woman, but anything more than that then probably not due to various reasons. That's why I'm more inclined to say I'm straight.

Another thing is with me and my boyfriend, he can tell me a male or female is hot if they wish, I would tell him males are cute/hot whatever, but girls I'd say are pretty. I've noticed he doesn't usually use the term hot either he just admits they're great actors or whatever they are although it's nice to talk about that sort of stuff.

Overall, I believe it does exist and even though those who say they're bisexual may prefer one sex it doesn't mean they limit themselves to it.

[Jazz]

I believe it exists yeah. The sexuality has a reputation which certain people turn into stereotypes which is fair enough. I can't say I really know what it's like, as I was one of the gays that said I was bi to lessen the blow on myself and my family.

I know a few bisexuals and they are so lovely and open minded, I've got to say though, the majority of bisexuals around the island youth gay scene are women.
