Is there a such thing as a "bisexual" or are those people just greedy?

Answer 1

my only question is why would you want something you've already have. I don't understand it, but i say they are greedy.

Answer 2

Hi. I'm a bisexual. My partner is a bisexual. We are not greedy, we are just sexually attracted to both sexes. I don't see gender as important when dating and my partner varies somewhat on the Kinsey scale. We do not hide our "true sexuality" behind each other, we are open and are trying to educate people by what it means to be bi. We are in a monogamous relationship, check out both guys and gals (but don't touch), and struggle every day with the misconceptions people impose on us. We are both devout Christians. Bisexuality is the final destination for us - it's not the path to becoming "straight" or "gay" or "lesbian". We are not questioning or curious - we are the way we are because God made us that way and we have to accept that and live responsibly. I can say that I am not greedy - I know what personlity types turn me on and I do not have meaningless relationships. I'm actually very choosy. The reason people have a hard time accepting us is because we don't fit into their nice catagories of "black or white", "heterosexual or homosexual", "old or young" - we are the grey area, the third catagory no one likes to talk about.

Answer 3

A lot of research, Kinsey being the first and most prominent of the researchers, says that human beings reside on a continuum between gay and straight. Most people sit very near one side or the other, but others sit neared the middle than their peers. So from this we could glean that everyone is bisexual, but I'd get a lot of argument to that. Suffice it to say that yes there is such a thing as a bisexual.

This is not to disregard that sometimes a homosexual person will self-label as "bisexual" because he or she finds it more socially acceptable. It may even be more acceptable to the self-image as a person is growing into an understanding of his or her own homosexuality. But it is not fair to assume that a person who professes to be bisexual is in denial.

I self-label myself as a gay man. Yet when I was younger I dated and had some degree of intimacy with young women. And today I enjoy the (non-sexual) company of women and even sometimes can find myself turned on by a woman, not to the point of acting on it. So somebody else might call me bi. I doubt it LOL.

Answer 4

Michellesm has already said just about everything I wanted to, but I'm going to address the 'greed' issue on another point.
There are a lot of myths around bisexuality, and I encounted one of them with the last guy I dated that related to greed. He assumed, b/c I'm bisexual, that I couldn't be happy with one man or one woman, that I had to have both.
This is simply not the case. His assumption wasn't based off of any of my actions, or even off of previous experiences with bisexuals, it was strictly a result of his fear that one sex could not fully satisfy me, and therefore I'd eventually leave him for a woman.
For myself, and every bisexual I know, it is less a desire for the physical nature of both sexes, and more an ignoring of it -- being attracted physically to people we like emotionally, regardless of their sex. This is not to say I can't appreciate either the male or female form, only that I'm not *craving* the bodies of both, as his stereotype implied.
I think calling bisexuals greedy is a result of this same assumption -- consciously or unconsciously -- people presume that we can't be happy with a single individual b/c we'll always want the other gender too. To me, this is as ridiculous as saying a woman can't possibly be happy with just her husband b/c she'll always want all the men with bigger -- you get the idea.

p.s. I'd like to state, for the record, that I'd never call someone in a relationship of more than two greedy either. I think it can actually be a very loving system, and if it's what's right for you then more power to you. The only people I'd call greedy in a relationship are those who go behind their significant others backs and have affiars, not b/c they're unhappy, but b/c they just want more; that's greed.

Answer 5

There's no greed involved. We're just wired differently to all you monosexuals in that we can be attracted to both genders (some are slightly more attracted to one gender over another).

There are those who are hedonists and there are others who are in a monogamous relationship. You'll find all sorts - much as you do under any of the sexual orientation labels.

We have some unique issues - but many we share with the GL community. Recognition being one of them "There's no such thing as Bi you're just gay" - or "...straight" depending on whether the 'biphobe' is gay or straight.

No, Greed has nothing to do with it. Lust, Love, Attraction and Desire do. Same as for everyone else - who is sexually aware.

Answer 6

Haha, greedy? That's funny.. I believe there is such a thing as bisexual, I mean, there are gays, there are straights.. Why can't there be bisexuals? There are people truely attracted to both sexes... like me. I guess if your not bi, and your skeptic, you'll never truely understand..

Answer 7

Tell me why someone would sleep with someone they didn’t find attractive? I mean to say that if a guy likes girls, and doesn’t find guys appealing at all for sex, why would he sleep with one just to get sex? Actually, how could he sleep with one if he didn’t find them appealing? Ok, that may not make sense, but yes, there is such a thing as being bi-sexual, not greedy. They have names for greedy people too, but theyre not too nice.

Answer 8

I'm bisexual and your question is very interesting. I'm proud of my sexuality but have the class and elegance to be private, respectful and honest. The entire world is not entitled to know the ins and out of my sex life. Men and women are beautiful so why shouldn't I surround myself with beauty. Beautiful and loving people don't judge and hate others, they surround themselves with smart and great people as I do. It may be sexual, it may be not, and so what. GREEDY is having affairs with other people while deceiving and hurting people you are supposed to be committed to. We all know you can be straight, bi or homosexual and be greedy. It's not the sexuality, it's the personality of the person. Any cool and caring adult knows that. Grow Up!

Answer 9

I have read of a medical condition where the genital organs is neither clearly male or female, and I myself have come across a he-she man whom i suspect is such. He looks totally feminine but is a man actually (no surgery or whatever)

Answer 10

Just greedy. I disagree with bisexuality, but it doesn't mean I don't have friendships with those who are. I just don't think it's a safe lifestyle and does not set a good example for our children. *speaking as a mom AND a lesbian*

(No offense to all you bisexuals, it's just my opinion...I still think a lot of you all are nice people to be around!)

Answer 11

I have been 50/50 bisexual all my life, and don't see anything "greedy" about it. For one thing, I'm not casual about my relationships at *all*. I see it as another preference, like hair color, weight, intelligence, etc. Like, I prefer short people and dark hair, and I absolutely must have intelligence, but I'm flexible about gender. My best friend says it's a good thing I'm bi, 'cause I'm so picky!
