    I'm bi, as in biromantic. I'm emotionally and sexually attracted to men, but only emotionally attracted to women. However, when someone asks, I just tell them I'm bi(sexual). No need to explain then what biromantic means...

    I have been feeling somewhat more straight.

    I sort of feel lately though my gay side can produce such strong physical pleasure,
    The opposite sex is my longing and constant preoccupation.

    My working hypothesis is that I'm bi but leaning toward straight,
    But I have a lot of hangups about women, and perhaps fewer hangups about men...
    Or sometime like that.
    Well not sure... Anyway in a strainer place lately, for what it's worth.

    I of course meant "straighter" place above

    I actually hear this from gay men most of all (almost all of them go on about it in some manner)....and I agree it is irritating and they fail to see they are negating their own sexuality by going on like that....or let me correct that...they believe there are 100% homosexuals but refuse to accept that there are 100% straights....kind of like straight dudes who say things like "but isn't a woman so much more beautiful?" or "how can you touch a dirty male ass?" (like women shit roses)

    And yeh, saying everyone is "a bit gay" or bi is a neat trick to make us who are out look like drama queens and kind of put down our personal struggles.

    BTW isn't saying you are "really gay" a form of embracing you.....I would be more bothered by them saying you are not gay enough (which is what straights do). When gays say you are "really gay" you might as well take that as a compliment....is there really a utilitarian need to push your hetero side? When I tell gays I am mostly homo but I am a little bit bi they always believe me though.

    Sexuality is a fluid spectrum- almost nobody is 100% something for 100% of their life.

    labels simplify things too much. i say i'm bisexual, but i would probably be more like flex-amorous homosexual with bisexual, homo-emotional, asexual, and bi-romantic tendencies.

    from what i've learned, sexuality is usually too complex to sum up in one word, but people do it anyway. (yes, some people do just have one label that they stick with their whole life and it is completely accurate, im just saying thats more rare than you would think)

    No, the bis are somewhere in the continuum, and in different forms and with different needs. There are clearly people with 100% gay or lesbian orientations, so they are definitely not bisexual. I think these different groups would get along better if many myths and absolutes were gone, but with each person's sexuality somewhat different, it's not that easily done.

    For myself i am attracted to certain men only emotionally i guess or also like 'hey hes a good lookin guy i like his face' lol
    :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: but thats as far as that goes...a relationship with a man would NEVER work because i would never want to sleep with a man therefore both of us would b unhappy

    Actually i wouldnt even say emotionally i just find some men have nice faces...period lol

    In all honesty I think people are only bisexual when they've got a reasonably balanced attraction to both sexes, up to about 75/25. So if you're above that, you are gay or straight.

    My philosophy is that no one is 100% Straight. All it requires is the right time, person and place.
    Love is love, it could never single out just one gender.

    It feels that way sometimes. I can experience a deep emotional connection with a man, but only love a woman truly. I can appreciate a man's body if it's attractive, but I won't want to touch it or have it on top of me. I am a lesbian, but I do believe that for most people, sexuality is fluid.

    I read somewhere that females are born naturally attracted to both genders.. I can't remember the source.. It may have been word of mouth, but it was definitely interesting to hear/read

    There are studies that measure people's state of arousal, and have shown women generally get aroused when seeing straight porn, gay porn and lesbian porn, regardless of how they label themselves. However, I remember that a similar study found that women also got aroused when watching animals have sex, so I dunno if this is an accurate way to measure a woman's sexual preferences.

    I'm like 90% submissive sexually, so I'm not really attracted to women. Anecdotally, no, not everyone is bi. Although I have had straight-crushes and to me the line between super close friendship and love isn't that clear

    Still an interesting concept if I do say so myself.

    It also contributes to the idea that women exist for men's pleasure.

    People could have had bicurious moments but aren't truly bi, gay or whatever the case might be.
