Does anyone want to talk about anything relating to bisexuality? Questions, news, feelings, realizations, opinions, etc. (PS: You don't have to be bi to join in on the conversation.) As a bisexual, I don't personally know any other bisexuals, let alone many people in the LGBTQ+ community. I would love to talk
Sure, I'm up for it. I know of a few people who are bisexual, but have never had much of a conservation about it. I know a few more gays and lesbians, but no major conversations either.
I identified as bisexual when I first came out, since I was married to a guy. I don’t know whether my sexuality is fluid or not but over time I began to realise I was only attracted to women and it’s never changed since so I changed my identity to lesbian.
Ever since I started questioning my sexuality many years ago, I have bounced all over the place. After joining here, I tried out the gay label for a bit, but it didn't feel correct. Even though I lean more one way, bisexual feels right.
Sometimes I wonder would my label ever change back to bisexual. I have had similar with my gender. I settled on non binary.
Out of curiosity, which way do you lean? You know from my intro post roughly where I'm coming from. I hesitate to say for certain, because I haven't actually been with a man yet, but I feel like I favor women somewhat, but not decisively. Of course this varies day to day, there are some days where I can't get guys off of my mind, for instance.
I know with different people theres different levels of attraction like me I like both prefer guys more but still like women too
Curious if this one is unusual... I'm interested in sex with both men and women, but with men I'm really only interested in being the receiving partner, I only want to be the penetrating partner with women... Though when it comes to oral I think I'd be good to give/receive to/from either.
I’d love to talk with fellow bi people! I’m curious how many others have dealt with internalised biphobia? I feel like it’s one of those things that isn’t touched on as often as homophobia is, but is just as prevalent. I’m still working through it myself. When I was around 15 I decided I was lesbian after I experienced my first serious crush, which was a girl. I went through the whole acceptance and coming-out stuff over the following years and I found a community of other lesbians online which made me feel at home and happy. But recently at 22 I’ve realised that I’m actually bisexual, just with a heavy lean towards women. This discovery kind of stripped away the community and self-love that I had worked hard to obtain, because now I’m like this whole different person. I also feel like there’s so much ignorance around the idea of bisexuality. I especially hate how many people stereotype us (especially bi women) to be promiscuous by default — either that, or we’re “confused”. There’s also sadly a lot of biphobia in the online spaces I used to frequent.
