SpiralingMind Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 LOL @ burgy! Hehe!I'm certainly a gay male. Most of the time, though, I just identify myself as me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniBanani Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I haven't decided yet... I think it could be bisexual, but no final decision yet. I've been told you can't be really bisexual, you truly prefer one sex or the other. For me, without a true chance to choose without judgement, I'm not sure yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sample1232 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think alot of people feel pressured to label themselves I'm this, I'm that. As long as you find happiness and peace thats all that matters. I'm just me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saliency Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 There are certain things I'd do with a girl, but seeing as I'm not sexually attracted to females I identify myself as a gay male. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lek Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 ...I've been told you can't be really bisexual, you truly prefer one sex or the other....DaniBanani, I believe that people can truly be bisexual. And I know, and have known, some truly bisexual people. I think one should just listen to one's heart and spirit when one meets another human being. That's all that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing it by ear. If I meet somebody I have a connection with, I wouldn't mind if it were a male or a female... So, maybe that is truly where I stand then...

I appreciate your support :)This is how I feel, as well. The only thing that matters to me is if I feel a strong connection, soul-to-soul, with another person. Whatever plumbing they happen to have downstairs is irrelevant. So I guess you could call me "bisexual," but I prefer "humansexual" - If we are good for each other, what else matters?Mind you, that doesn't translate, in me, into promiscuity (I don't mean I get with just ANY person who comes along) - finding a strong, true, deep connection with another person is very rare - but when and if you're lucky enough to find it, would you turn them away just because they happened to have the wrong X or Y chromosome?It's cool there's others on here who feel the same! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I identify as bisexual, knowing that I am usually a 3 or 4 on the Kinsey scale. I like to say that I am a "lesbian identified bisexual who right now happens to be with a male partner." I think it is important as a bisexual woman to acknowledge the heterosexual privilege I get when I am with a man, while honoring my own experience as a "sexual minority." Anyway, I am following my heart. :)Blessings,Hirakukibou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband is also bisexual and we are very connected to each other and understand each other partially because of our similar views on sexuality, among many other things. I always feel strange having to explain to people that I'm a married woman but still bisexual, and leaning more towards women, in terms of what sexually excites me. My husband understands this and apparently so do you! Well met! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I honestly believe that everyone is bisexual. Everyone could possibly be put into a situation where they would have sex with a man or a woman. It might be harder for some people to get to that point but why not what else is there to do?

My ex gf and i would get into these huge debates...she didn't belive in bisexuality, and she would refer to my bi friends(a male and female couple) as hetero.It was so frustrating! she wouldn't accept the fact that i was bi either..if i was it meant that i was going to cheat on her with a man, so she thought.so i just told her i didn't want to label myself...but now i feel comfortable saying "i am bisexual!" and that doesn't make me a fence sitter or a cheater or easy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virelai Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I'm transgendered, for sure. I also believe I'm bisexual. I've had trouble identifying my sexuality, for a while. Sometimes I thought I was straight, others homosexual, and now I've just come to the conclusion that I like both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I don't really think anyone is 100% anything actually.I class myself as a gay male as I generally am not sexually attracted to females but I do find some girls pretty....I think my non-100% is more of a hopeful wish though that more of the male population are possible conversion projects...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

last_resort Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Though I have admitted this to very few of my close friends, I would privately identify myself as bisexual (I'm not comfortable with labels but for argument's sake I'll say bi). It's my opinion that sexual love and attraction need not be gender discriminate- if you are attracted to someone or love someone, it should be for who they are, and not based on their sex! :PThat said, I really haven't had a lot of sexual experience with either, but I do feel attracted to both. And have fallen in love with a girl (I'm a girl too). Last_resort Edited January 3, 2008 by last_resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post, but I actually would have just written what you have here, although I haven't said anything to anyone. And I'd tone down the love to had a crush on.I'm kind of confused really. Some days I really like guys, sometimes girls (I am a girl) other days I am physically repulsed by the thought of being in a relationship with anyone. I am a 2 on the kinsey scale...if that means anything - I've had all these thoughts about whether I like just girls, or just guys since I was thirteen. I think I've finally come to the conclusion that I think I like a bit of both...and it isn't as black and white as I once thought.Ah - I don't know...Take care,Florry Edited January 4, 2008 by florryx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days I feel squeamish at the thought of being with anyone, though that probably has to do with my own self-loathing and thoughts of "why would anyone want to be with me?". I too have days where I am ashamed at the thought of being with a woman, other days I embrace it...the way I see it, sexual orientation isn't a fixed entity. It is fluid and changes from day to day, from moment to moment. Some people are just more open to these changes than others I guess Last_resort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
