Have you EVER found a member of the same gender attractive to you?
If a friend of the same gender as yourself, whom you consider a best friend or friend you really like being around (as opposed to a work friend or acquaintance sort of friend) were in love with you, would you dismiss it out of hand as weird and gross?

Being bi doesn't mean wanting to fuck everyone / everything, it means being receptive to the possibility of being attracted to and/or loving someone on a case by case basis regardless of their gender (even if you've gone your whole life up to this point without ever meeting, seeing, or imagining someone of the same gender as you that you're attracted to, which is usually only true for teenagers).

Honestly it's about as meaningful a question as "How the fuck do I know if I'm a coffee drinker?", if you're repulsed by the idea or you tried a couple different ones and didn't like them, you're probably not a coffee drinker (until you find that one special flavor you've been missing out on your whole life).

leaning towards androgyny in either sex. I like my girls to look tomboyish and my guys to be skinny without massive muscles. Toned/abs is ok. I can't stand the femboy attitude though and I want to have a normal conversation with a guy if I date him, not talk to someone who acts all catty.

You can still be straight even if this is the case. Kinsey 1 isn't bisexual.

Sexuality is a self-labeled thing that you use to let others know your preferences.

If you are consistently attracted to both men and women that's when I slap the "bi" label on. If you're like "oh my god i spent so much time with [friend] and i'm falling in love wtf wtf" but otherwise have zero interest in same-sex stuff, you're probably just learning that sexuality isn't rigidly set in stone.

Think of it this way: in the same way as not all girls turn a straight guy on, not all guys are going to turn a straight guy off. Relax, heteros, it doesn't make you gay, or even bi, any more than those gays who have had sex with women are straight, or bi. Plenty of dudes have had sex with men and decided they were straight. Sometimes they even had sex with multiple men just for fun but still identify as straight because they're not actually attracted to men.

And if you think the guy in the last example is bi or gay, consider this: can you get a boner? Can you masturbate? Then you can have sex with whoever you want even if you're not attracted to them. Especially if they're working to get you off ex. giving head, handjob, using bottoming skills, etc.

I used to crossdress sometimes in high school. I didn't even think of it as being weird. I just liked it. I wouldn't wear dresses or skirts but I would borrow my friends who were girls' clothes or go shopping and try stuff on. Particularly tops/jackets :)
>>
>>5845710
I prefer leg wear, my legs are really feminie, but I have broad shoulders and a strong chest so any girl shirts or jackets look really bad
>>
>>5845733
I like yoga pants and stuff as well, I have thunder thighs though and a big butt (I'm not pear shape though) which some people like... but it makes it hard to find something that fits unless I was really motivated to go shopping and find something. I make straight fit pants look like skinny around my butt lol. My shoulders broadened quite a bit from 19-21. It has put a damper on such behavior :( I would probably do it more if I had friends I could do it around nowadays
>>
>>5845748
Try buying pants a little too big for you, and get a good belt. I have a full real leather belt from Levi's that is really nice. It basically fixes any waist/thigh size problems, and they look stylish with jeans

>Plenty of dudes have had sex with men and decided they were straight. Sometimes they even had sex with multiple men just for fun but still identify as straight because they're not actually attracted to men.
I think the word you are looking for here is "in denial." Having a desire to get it on with the same sex *multiple* times ain't straight.

Im bi, sort of i like dicks but not most men, only fuckboys. I have a gf because i prefer women but i have this fuckboy friend that just broke up with his gf and we stay up late alone playing vidya and talking.
He constantly makes gay jokes in a gay chicken game way. constantly tells me to suck his dick then laughs it off. the other day we even watched some straight porn together in silence without jacking off, but you could feel the tension and awkwardness in the air.

tldr confused as fuck. just wanted to vent. I dont want to cheat on my gf, least of all with a friend but things are getting weird with him.

He never helped things with constantly changing what he said in interviews, but he was definitely bisexual.

Another bisexual rocker you might not know was Lou Reed. Sadly early he was abused by his father, and then they tried conversion therapy on him, and scrambled his brains with electroshocks. Still he was able to make something of his life after that.

Make totally sure she's not just fine with it but actively encourages it/wants to watch. Ask more than once and remind her that the reality is different from a fantasy and that she might regret it later, and is she prepared to deal with that.

However, girls who like to watch boys make out are RIDICULOUSLY common. About as common as boys who like to watch girls make out...and go to any college party to see how common that is.

She'll probably be 100% okay with it if you restrict yourself to oral, touching, and kissing. Or something along those lines. At that point it's Not Really Sex in her mind, it's just a little entertainment for her and a little fun for you.

>>5851638
>According to the survey, 63% of women surveyed said that they would not be willing to date a guy who had a known history of hooking up with other dudes.

http://mic.com/articles/135145/why-are-so-many-women-unwilling-to-date-bisexual-guys#.JpipDkROV

Women don't like bisex men, they fear competition from other women and don't want men added in the mix. If you suck dick once you will forever be known as a dicksucker, even if you didn't suck dick but just like your dick being sucked.

face the facts.

People don't take women seriously. That's why women kissing each other or even fucking each other is considered harmless. If they have sex with each other, it's not considered "real sex".

But a guy buttfucking another guy is considered the "point of no return", that's it. You're gay mate. No way of coming back to bi land or straight land. Sex with a penis involved is seen as the only real sex. Both men and women see it this way.

Honestly, I think almost all men are bi and would fuck anything with a hole as long as it's cute. Just look at ancient societies like Japan, Rome, and Greece. Sexual identities weren't a thing back then, but a lot of men were openly fucking both boys and girls.

It's only because of Abrahamic religions that any kind of close sexual relationships with men are seen as taboo. America is riddled with this societal belief as a whole due to their Christian/Puritan/Judaic roots.
>>
>>5852137
lesbians generally don't really like bi girls, they have that whole Gold Star meme and the story of dating a bi girl who leaves them for sausage is one most are all too familiar with

In both cases it's more likely to be the women with the problem though, both bi girls and bi guys don't have too much trouble with straight/gay guys.
>>
>>5852230
>both bi girls and bi guys don't have too much trouble with straight/gay guys.

i've never really heard of issues with bi girls/straight guys, but the gay guys here absolutely abhor bi men. Gay men will fuck them, but it's an inside thing where a lot of them will tell each other to never get serious with a bi guy.

bi guys and straight girls are a whole 'nother story

les here

generally I'm okay with getting serious with a bi girl. I don't even care if her main schlick material is yaoi shit.

The problem is, is that most bi girls admitted that they get really bad cases of cocklust when in a monogamous relationship. So that's a deal breaker for me and why I tend to avoid most bi girls.

kinda true, but i believe that gay men don't have so much fear and hate to bi guys like straight women or lesbians, at least in my experience.

do you have problems with another bi guy?
>>
>>5852385
to be quite honest sempai,

it's because a lot of gays aren't looking for a serious relationship. Most of them want to pump and dump.

Women on the other hand are looking for serious relationships so they're way more picky and size up their prospects for any red flags.
>>
>>5852385
idk why but more than a few gays think bi men are just faggots in denial.
>>
How do I tell if a girl is bi?
>>
>>5852349
Why would it even be a deal braker?
>>
>>5852426
because eventually they'll want to get back with men?

Also, alot of them don't seem to think things through. Many of them don't realize that in the future they'll want a normie family with kids and shit. I ain't doing that.

I'm not saying all bi girls are cocklusting cases who secretly go on 4chan to confess how badly they want to suck some rando's dick, but most of them lean straight.

Finding a bi girl who doesn't have those urges is rare as fuck.
>>
>>5852443
>because eventually they'll want to get back with men?
Why do you think that?
I mean, I might be getting something wrong, but it sounds like normal sexual urges straight and gay people get when monogamous
>>
>>5852459
I already told you m8, most bi girls lean straight.

Besides, I could joke and say "hey that famous celebrity chick is hot, I wanna date her" but I'm satisfied with the pussy of my current gf.

Literally every bi chick I've ever met, the conversation goes like this:

>Her: i'm bi and lesbians never want to date me
>Me: I'll date you as long as you don't have cocklust
>Her: Oh but sometimes I wanna fuck guys too because I get urges, i'm sorry but I can't help it. Is it possible we can be poly?

just nope.
>>
>>5852459
yeah I dunno. I'm not saying D lust doesn't happen, it seems totally plausible, but isn't it just as likely that these girls are just getting restless period and there are way more men into them that they can fuck than women?
>>
>>5852477
of course.

So why bother with them.
>>
>>5852483
shrug. not telling you to

I hope gay men don't think about me in the same way though :3
>>
>>5852473
yeah that's pretty rude, I can understand your position

I just feel really sorry for the bi girls who would be fine in monogamous same sex relationships, who have to suffer under the bi reputation for D lust etc.

It seems sensible for bi people to stay closeted when in a serious relationship, to be honest.

I would never usually come to this board but the thread I was talking about it in before died. I know I still like girls but recently I made my first friend online and he's now my closest and only friend. We've been talking every day for a months and we don't know what each other look like but I think I may have kind of a crush on him. I think about cuddling and doing lewd stuff sometimes and him giving me my first kiss. I don't know where else to talk about it so I figured I would just dump my stupid blogpost here.
>>
>>5852843
do you think he might feel the same way?
>>
>>5852888
I don't know. I think he thinks of me of me as more of a little brother or even son (he's a few years older than me) but I don't know, he might. Not that I don't like being thought of as a little brother, it's nice, and I've always wanted a big brother. The thought of actually taking any action is really scary and I would risk ruining our friendship, and of course there's the not knowing what either of us look like and living in different countries thing. I'll probably just keep this in my fantasies, I don't know, I just felt like getting it out I guess.

>>
>>5853031

Well, I will be the first to say that gay men nor anybody else doesn't get to dictate how bi guys or anybody else behave. BUT, we've all met 100% gay guys who said they were bi- when just coming out, because they were too chicken to admit their whole gay self. Actual bis are not cowards, but one can never know whether someone is truly bi or just hedging his bets. I can't say I have the answers; personally am glad I'm monosexual. One gender's drama is enough to deal with

Maybe your problem is that you take being gay too seriously, like you try to make it a whole new lifestyle and commit part of your life to it, making it part of who you are and expecting everyone else to as well. I don't think of myself any different from when I first realized sometimes I think guys are hot. Nothing in my life changed, I didn't have some big faggy "coming out" event for my friends and loved ones, just sometimes I like fucking or being fucked by guys.
>>
>>5853068
>just sometimes I like fucking or being fucked by guys
If, like with most bisexuals, that is the extent of your same sex desires, then sure, it makes no sense to come out or do anything. You're basically straight with a kinky fetish.
It's different when you date and plan to marry someone of the same sex. People will find out eventually, so it's necessary to come out.
>>
>>5853068
Well tbqh most of the times there is no need to ever come out if you are bi.

Gay guys are doomed because they don't like sex with dudes 'sometimes', they like it all the time, and they only like that, so it's inevitably a big deal for them
>>
>>5853068
>>5853148
I'm bi. I'm not out to anyone, unless you count the guys i have sex with.

>>
>>5853148
>Well tbqh most of the times there is no need to ever come out if you are bi.
Some people are strongly gay leaning (a lot of them actually), it would be really weird to stay in the closet

If you have only a mild preference for guys I could see why coming out would be a hassle, but if you like sex with dudes most of the time and only occasionally pussy then on the other hand it's too much of a hassle to hide it
>>
this thread is hilarious, i knew it would be nothing but 'true' gays and lesbians trying to preach about their insecurities after having dated a bisexual person in the past and gotten cheated on.

also, claiming that you'll only date a bisexual person if they swear off all thoughts of the other sex while dating you is stupid. when you're dating someone, do you swear off all thoughts of other people when you masturbate?
>>
>>5853506
Yes
>>
>>5844980

>>5853506
The difference is that bis have a choice over which sex they can masturbate to.

Do you always eat the same flavour of ice cream? Do you always watch exactly the same genres of porn? Sometimes you want vanilla, but sometimes it has to be chocolate.

Fuck, if someone wants a monogamous relationship, that's fine. I'm not personally comfortable with someone going out and having sex with other random people either.
But that poster is saying that you can't even fantasize about the opposite sex if you're in a relationship with them. Or look at porn with the opposite sex in it.

Saying "bis have a choice over which sex they can masturbate to" is exactly the same as saying "No, you will always have chocolate if we're dating." What if a partner had some fetish that you didn't share together? Would you "ban" them from fantasizing about that because you personally aren't into it? It's like those crazy chicks who don't want their bf's to even look at porn while their in a relationship, as though it's some kind of competition to them.
>>
>>5853868
I guess this is why I could never date a bisexual. Knowing that my partner couldn't get women out of his head would not only make me feel inadequate, but it would also drive me crazy with jealous paranoia.
>>
>>5853896
but that can happen even if you are with a gay guy, its just only men in his mind

>>5853896
This is why I don't think it's a problem with bi people, it's the same jealosy problem again, magnified because that person could also get with the opposite sex.

chicks don't have dicks though, and a strap on isn't the same
>>
>>5853901
You can call it a double standard (and maybe it is), but it's just not the same thing to me. Hell, I'm not even opposed to semi-open relationships, so long as it's exclusively with other men. Homosex is something I understand and appreciate, but women are alien and threatening and I couldn't trust a partner who was into them.

What's with the "bis are all thirsty polys" meme?
I want a monogamous relationship.
Another bi would be nice since there's not all the judgment and jealousy, though.

It's funny. A negative outlook has served me well.
I honestly don't believe I have any power in stopping someone from leaving me. If they want to leave me, they are unhappy. If I force them to stay, they will resent me.

So I don't really have much jealousy. I don't get threatened easily.

>>5853060

Should he ask you to not have male friends for fear of you leaving him for a pure homosex?
>>

>>
>>5853930
I would never judge a 100% gay guy for being uncomfortable with dating a bisexual/pansexual guy. Personally I'm bisexual and lean homoromantic and it's been like a personal responsibility of mine to demonstrate how comfortable I am with a longterm monogamous relationship with a man. I wouldn't hang out with straight female friends one on one at my place or their place- out of a desire for trust. I've been cheated on by someone who had a fetish for my being bi and otherwise didn't trust a longterm relationship with me, so that kind of suspicion can really hurt people who are simply open/comfortable about their sexual experiences with both sexes.
>>
>>5854339
The ideal situation is for a threesome. No bi person I have met that is serious about a relationship wants to be able to fuck on the side. They want to be able to explore their sexuality with their partner.
>>
>>5855584
Being a plus one to an established relationship is actually really ideal for me.
It sounds so much less stressful and less pressure.
>>
I'm mostly attracted to females and traps, only men that interest me are model-tier cute or macho-thuggish.

>>5844715
Is it bisexuality if you're a guy who gets aroused/enjoys sex with males and females, but you're only interested in a relationship or emotional investment with females? I thought bisexuality was when you saw them both as equal opportunities for relationships and sex, but is it still the same if you just want the penor but don't see yourself falling in love with a man?
>>
>>5857535
I think most bisexuals are able to have romantic feelings with just one of the sexes, while still enjoying sex with both of them.

the "bisexuality means 2" meme need's to die, i know more than a trans woman and a trans man that are sick of the pansexuals, especially when they say "only pansexuals can find hot trans people", others pansexual faggots says that "bisexuals don't like non binary genders" implying that these genders are 100% real and don't have nothing in common with "man and woman", i love androgyny and i find hot a lot of "agenders, genderqueers, specialsnowflakes, etc." precisely because these people usually are androgyne, a mixture of feminity and masculinity, not something totally new and different to man and females. seriously, "pansexuals" and "polysexuals", are just fucking bisexuals, if you like men and women you are bisexual, end of the history.

all of "genderqueer ppl" still fall in men and women, at least on the physical sex. true hermaphrodites are extremely rare.

>why there's not a different word for gays who likes fem guys and not masc guys.
>why there's not a different word for lesbians who dated trans woman.
>why there's not a different word for straights who likes extremely fat girls.

also, even if i like androgyny, the existence of thing like "nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, etc." is very doubtful, the majority of these people still have a appereance of their birth sex, at least these genders don't have the importance of man-woman even if X culture believe in these thirds genders.
>>
>>5863231
But I think there should be words for those things. I don't believe in or care for people who talk about third gender, but I do care for language. And unlike most people I don't get triggered if someone runs around and say they are a third gender because it doesn't concern me. The more we can properly describe our experiences the better, so we can avoid misunderstanding.
If someone talks about being third gender, I know to stay clear of them without having to find that out later.
If someone likes fem guys and not masc guys, I know to stay clear from them and don't have to waste my time.

This is why I had no problem adapting cis and trans, because now I can easily stay away from the trans.
>>
So I'm gay.
I really like bi men actually. They're more of the guys I want to be with. Because they act like the man in a relationship and they're always the big spoon when we cuddle.
The sex is amazing too. I like only being the bottom. And I enjoy a blowjob too.
The only thing is... I'm quite masculine if physical features and quite feminine in everything else I do... Bi men doesn't deem to like that. If you wanna talk about this add me on kik as I won't be coming back here.

What should we call a guy who only likes women with small titties and a flappy, beef-curtainy vagina?
>>
How can a girl or guy trust you to be faithful (or even happy) when part of you could want something neither of them can offer by themselves?

I know this is a common question and it's unfair to you guys but it is a genuine concern of mine. I can't change my gender X years down the road and I'm not into threeways or open relationships. Then again, a normal relationship feels like I'm forcing you into some sort of abstinence. Damm.

Some thoughts and experiences?
>>
superior bisexual cis male here, i've basically won at life :^)
>>
>>5864510
I mean, maybe that is a genuine concern with some bi people. To be honest I only know one other bi person irl, I have a romantic temperament for a guy, and I have read online about bi people missing the gender they're not with, so I'm not necessarily representative. But for me, if I like you, I like YOU. What I want isn't "to be with a man today" or "to be with a woman today", I want to be in love and cuddle and get off with the person I love.
>>
>>5864510
Even in normal relationships this is not something you can trust. Straight people seeking counseling usually do so because their sex life has gone stale, and they have to rediscover it through dumb benign sex board games.
Gay couples tend not to even be couples because they are so rigid in their sexual roles they rather find new partners to fuck then to shake things up in the bedroom.

There are no guarantees in life. When I'm with a woman or a man that means I'm with them, they are what I need them to offer. But when I'm straight I'm straight, when I'm gay I'm gay. It's in between I'm bi, and then things could go either way.

What if I'm with you, a guy with an average cock and you can't offer me a big cock?

What if I'm with you, a girl with no tits and you can't offer me massive tits?

Not being able to offer everything and anything to your partner isn't something that doesn't exist outside of bisexuals. It's possible for a straight guy to feel like fucking a cute small Asian girl when they're in a relationship with a thick latina milf, and vice versa.

i think its pretty impossible for one person to completely encapsulate everything you could find attractive about someone, even if you're only attracted to one gender. In my relationship talking about/commenting on the various shit we find attractive is fun, be it similarity or differences. me and my gf are both bi but we have differently leaning preferences, so i feel like our case is still relevant here. as long as you have a proper communicative relationship there should never be any fear of someone cheating on you because if there is an issue it'd be talked about and worked out. and if you don't have that level of communication, that's a way bigger issue in terms of relationship stability/happiness than any unexplored sexuality

Because i'm not attracted to every man and woman i see at all times. Despite being bi i've personally only been attracted to two people in the past 5 years, one man and woman.

I'm dating this hypothetical person for a reason, so there is something i enjoy about them. If i really wanted the opposite sex i would date them instead.

I link that to age old feminist discussions of the penetrative act being the only thing considered "real" sex in patriarchal societies. Even as a teenager, I thought oral wasn't "real" sex, even though I knew you could get diseases from it. I look back at how quickly I would go down on someone I would make out with, and wonder how I didn't get more accusations of "rape" because I didn't ask first, and there was even one person who kept saying "no, wait" and I kept insisting it was fine. Yeesh.
>>
>>5852304
why is this? because of fear of competition or what? I like going to pride events and gay bars, and plenty of guys will flirt with me, but because I present as normie/straight kid, they assume I am and like me as that one off conquest, and never take me seriously as queer. It hurts, man. Worse, if I decide I really like a guy, since I already fucked him, he has no more interest. That was why I stopped trying to date gay men.
>>

shit, I'm married and I have a terrible thirst for both cock and pussy. For people with high libido, it's always a thing, it doesn't really have shit to do with gender or orientation.

Obsessive thoughts?
>>
>>5870271
>Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also known as body dysmorphia or dysmorphic syndrome, but originally termed dysmorphophobia, is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it.[1] In BDD's delusional variant, the flaw is imagined.[2] If the flaw is actual, its importance is severely exaggerated.[2] Either way, one's thoughts about it are pervasive and intrusive, occupying up to several hours a day. The DSM-5 categorizes BDD in the obsessive–compulsive spectrum, and distinguishes it from anorexia nervosa.

Bi sexuality can possibly receive all this hate because its the least relatable. All other sexuality keep their expectations and attractions consistent but Bi sexual can't be predictable because they are attracted to both and its attraction can change.

Not him, but for me its my nose, my forehead, my jaw, my eyes, my neck, my spine, my hips, my dick, my knees and my skin.
It depends sometimes it just vanishes and something else takes over, then I constantly check mirrors or take pictures of that specific part and compare it with pictures of others or look up anatomy and genetic faults in anatomy. If I go out I make sure to dress up to hide the specific part I'm obsessing over.

(I'm a cis female.)
I worry constantly about the shape of my face, my hair texture and shape, and more recently my waist and stomach. I think I look like one of those starving kids with stick limbs and swollen unhealthy bellies, ratty frizzy hair, and a face that alternates between looking like a half-melted G.I Joe (molten blurry features + man jaw) or a bloated, rotting prepubescent boy. I don't see my body as one coherent picture, just a bunch of jagged pieces that don't fit together quite right.
I avoid mirrors and photos as much as possible and wear loose, concealing clothing. On a particularly bad day, like today, I can't even watch tv because I can't turn off the compulsion to compare myself, no matter how much I tell myself that those actresses have thousands of dollars to spend on cosmetics and personal trainers.

When I see another woman my thoughts are like
>she'd rather (suicide method) than touch me.
>i'd be cheated on for her in a heartbeat.
>she has cheekbones, she looks like a *woman.* unlike me.
>she wears makeup and does her hair right, she looks like a *woman.* unlike me.
>must be nice, looking like a human.
>sexuality is pointless, nobody will ever actually want me.

How do I find a non gay-looking top on okcupid without declaring myself bi or gay?

Why don't you want to declare yourself as bi or gay?

That's your problem then, not bisexual peoples. And if you're that insecure about dating someone you think might cheat on you, Then I'd have trouble trusting you to begin with.
