Why is it somewhat socially acceptable for women to be bi, but absolutely taboo for men to be bi?

Answer 1

I don't think it's taboo for the men. It's a homophobic thing again i guess.

i think men accept the women bi thing because they're secretly hoping both the women will need them to step in and hump them.... there's that threesome thing again.

seems to me whatever men think, us women just go along with it..they set the socially acceptable stuff, do they?.. i think all of it's okay but not for me.

Answer 2

maybe because men are turned on more visually so seeing 2 women together turns them on, and women aren't turned on as much by visual stimulation so when they see 2 guys it doesn't do anything for them. Guys wanna be in the middle of the 2 girls, but a woman is less likely to be in the middle of 2 guys, especially if the guys are gettin it on together, but that's a whole 3some thing, and not just a bi thing.
Mostly it probably goes back to the stereotype that 2 guys together HAVE to be gay, and that makes them more feminine and all the other cliches that go along with it, which in general isn't appealing to most women. But I bet just the normal guy who goes both ways would be attractive women if they didn't know, then once they are hooked they wouldn't care as much... not all, but some.

Answer 3

Somewhat socially acceptable? People might think that if it's two woman then it's sexy, but it is still not seen as a loving relationship that would be equal if that same woman was with a man. And then there is acceptable to lesbians or straight men with a bi girl and things get complex. Linked info.

Answer 4

I suppose it started with the stereotype of the women being more demure, and sensual. The alpha male image is of one who's stronger and more aggresive than the rest. Plus, I think alot of those strongly against it are only trying to bury an inclination themselves. It the issue were 2 people of the same sex mating, they'd also be against 2 women together. Since reality is quite the opposite, i proves that they're not REALLY against monogenersim but GUYS.

Answer 5

men are supposed to be macho, non caring beer drinking studs, honestly in the high 90 percentiles, men would love to watch 2 women get it on, and the majority of men are disgusted by gays. An easy way to tell a closet gay or a man that thinks of men as desirable is that are very vocal about queers, and talk a good game with gay jokes and threats, or actually take part in gay bashing. Live and let live!

Answer 6

Do heterosexual women enjoy watching men having sex with
other men?

Do heterosexual men enjoy watching women having sex
with each other?

Evolutionarily, you might explain the difference because
men can potentially cause both women to become pregnant
but it is unlikely that a woman having sex with more than
one man will have children with genes from both or
have multiple children with genes from different fathers.

If a major part of society finds a behavior titillating, then that
behavior will probably be more accepted by society generally.

Answer 7

What i have learned, and believe is that we all are created
by the union of Man and women.
so we have both male and female genes, which is more dominate, in each individual
dictates are choice
the belief's
How do we know man is not wo-man, and wo-man is not man.
Someone long ago, (man or wo-man) decide which was which.
The Bible (the history book of the ages) say's God created Man in is own image, and pulled a rib from man to make wo-man.
what if it was the other way around?
reality
humans are social animals and need compaionship,
In greek mythollogy there is a story of a time when man and wo-man were one a unic or something..... Plato or Socrates wrote about it!
In this society woman are brave enough to admit they enjoy life!
Men are still afraid!

Answer 8

because socially, straight men are taught that anything that shows and kind of femininity is supposed to be shunned.
straight men run the world, and they carry their "macho, alpha male" attitude with them. they think that 2 women can fool around with each other as long as those 2 women stop what they are doing once the guy shows up and strips down. they tend to think that their masculinity is so strong that it would make every woman want to have sex with them.

Answer 9

I think people just don't understand it at all. They think everyone should think in black and white,and sometimes,in our case,things are kind of more gray. I've been married to men,and I've been in commited relationships with women. I don't like one more than the other,I fantasize about both,and no,I'm not just oversexed and sleeping with the entire USA,lol. I think they think if men have sex with other men,that automatically makes them gay. It's the homophobes doing it mostly. =oP

Answer 10

Men get off on the idea of 2 chicks together and women don't get off on the idea of 2 guys together.
