i dont mean to generalise here, but ive noticed that guys would be totally fine if their gf was into girls, infact, turned on by the thought. But girls tend to be repulsed by the thought of their bf liking guys. Anyone else notice this? :smile:


i mentioned it back up there somewhere!!! I noticed I noticed!

Well, its not actually confusion... its just finding different people attractive. I mean, if your past bf had dated only brunnettes with big breasts and you was a blonde with small breasts, would that bother you....?


but it's not really just about attraction is it?!

the homosexual arguement is that their same-sex tendancies are just as much about being predisposed towards a certain type of physical and emotional fullfillment, that it's not a choice and they feel dissatisfied with someone of the opposite sex. same goes for straight people only our physical/emotional fullfillment is with the opposite sex.

bisexuality is that curious grey space..most commonly associated with confusion because the implication is that the choice is there - straight and gays don't have a choice, it's in our wiring to only be happy with one or the other. bisexuals are either thought to be confused ie make the choice and determine with which sex they are most happy, or greedy (don't bite my head off, i'm not saying i think that way. im inclined to think it errs more towards confusion).

I tend to have pre-conceptions about seeing bisexual people... makes me feel like there's twice as much competition and I'm never going to be able to fully satisfy them in the way a guy maybe would.

But if I was straight, I doubt I'd have any problem being with a bisexual guy!? Wierd...

yup i read it which is why i commented :P

I am complete unconfused and certainly not greedy! I just find both men and women attractive! That is my perogative! I dont believe that we are designed just to desire one gender, if you do then fine, but in my experience, the bi people i know, genuinely are attracted to both sexes for no reason better than being attracted to blondes and brunettes!

And i would say that people think of it as confusion in many senarios because its seen as "deviant" or they just arent used to the feelings so try to shun them!

i dont want to sound stupid *hides in corner* but whats a rep? :smile:

A rep is kinda like a reward or a punichment you give someone for writing a good/bad post, it expalins about it in the FAQ. You give them by clicking on the blance in the top right of peoples post.

Well, i cant tell you how to get one, but its when you get praised (or knocked in some cases) for a post written!

Reply 31

Like i gave lauren one cos i agreed with her post, that would have added some rep points and eventually she will get a little green gem. You get an extra gem for every 100 points, i nearly have one. But as you get further up gems get harder to obtain. They are just a way of saying thanks.

Reply 32

aww, so thats what the gems are and come from!

Reply 33

Lol you need to read the Faq! It has a detailed explanation on it, in your user cp it will teel you how many rep points you have, that way you can see hoe close/far away you are from the next gem.

if it's only about attraction, surely it's more of a fetish (maybe less extreme then a fetish but i don't quite know the right word) then a definition of one's sexuality?!

the way i understand it, if you aren't just as happy being in a commited, emotional relationship with a woman as you are a man, you aren't bisexual.

plenty of gay men find women attractive! it's a fact! some even find them sexually attractive.but they aren't bisexual because they can only be emotionally fulfilled by a man.

i think, as i said, it's a choice of lifestyle or a state of confusion.

Hang on, that really makes no sense! its not all about attraction! But men and women dont love differently! We all have the same capacity for emotions! It was you that put it down to sexual attraction and i was trying to discuss it from your view point! Its not that you can only recieve emotional fulfilment from one or the other! I would be happy with a man or a woman to be honest with you!

Reply 36

thanks for the info on reps, i should read the FAQ lol

Reply 37

Lol im sure you will leanr one day, but the main points are to give reps you click on the little scale and you get a gem per 100 points., You may even already have a rep, just check your user cp to see!

men and women might not love differently but they do satisfy (emotionally) differently. and it does make sense, i said if it's only about attraction it's not really someone's sexuality it's just a passing fancy, attraction is fickle. most people have been attracted to someone of the same sex at some point or another, it doesn't mean they're bisexual. i guess that's my point about confusion, a lot of people mistake attraction for sexuality. and to be honest, i don't really know if i believe that there is such a thing as bisexuality, a lot of straight and homosexual people find it quite an insulting implication. not saying i neccessarily think like that, i just don't neccessarily buy into the fact that it's a genuine sexual classification.

yes but it's also about satisfaction. if you love someone, you want to be able to satisfy them, and knowing that at one point they found the female anatomy unsatifying and had to experiment with the other sex would probably make me very insecure and insecurity leads to problems in relationships.


Erm...yeah...eva heard of something called personality? Love?? I personally didnt go with this 1 guy cos i wanted to experiment with another guys body, i did it for the same reason i do it with girls, feelings, personality, falling in love etc... :biggrin:
