bisexuality?

Question

how come guys are not considered bisexuals? Most people think of guys as being either gay or straight. why can't a guy be bisexual? Girls can always say they are bisexuals without any "you can't be bi. you're either gay or straight" crap.

Answer 1

Well many g0ys are bisexual and we do not gender bend. we also do not do anal
I am bisexual.
I am a Kinsey 3 Which means I can love either a man or a woman. I am living proof because I am married and love my wife and I have a male partner who I also love just as dearly.
we make up about 9 % of the population
Kinsey 1 who are basically straight men who have fantasized about homosexual relations make up 21%
Kinsey 2 who are men who are mostly straight but have had a few homosexual relationships, make up 10 %
Kinsey 4 who are homosexual men who have had straight sex make up only 8 %.
Kinsey 5 are homosexual men who have fantasized about straight sex make up 9%
And Kinsey 6 are completely homosexual make up 10%
Leaving 33% of completely straight men being Kinsey 0's

So 1 in 3 men are completely straight the rest have either experienced some homosexual fantasies or had homosexual relations.

Answer 2

A strict definition of a bisexual would be someone who has romantic and/or sexual relations with other people of more than one sex (though not necessarily at the same time. For some people, bisexuality is a phase between homosexuality and heterosexuality (and the individual in question could be going in either direction); for others it can just be a brief experimentation. But for many people bisexuality is a lifelong, committed sexual orientation.

And even for those who ultimately do not stay bisexual for life, that does not make it any the less valid as a sexual orientation. Many people have reported that their sexual orientation has shifted over time; sexuality is dynamic, not fixed. For some people it may be a small shift, others a major change of lifestyle; but this does not make the points in between in any sense "wrong". Life is a continuous process, and few of us remain exactly the same over long periods of time.
People who call themselves bisexual are saying that they are attracted to both men and women. They don't necessarily have to act on that attraction, any more than straight or gay people have to act on their attraction to people of the same sex as their partner.

One reason is because we are sometimes perceived as "hiding," a sense that some bisexuals use their bisexuality to look heterosexual at work, in straight social settings, to enjoy the "heterosexual privilege" that is part of the social norm. Secondly, bisexuals are sometimes seen as blurring the issues and weakening the lesbian and gay movement. Naturally, bisexual activists disagree with this view (we feel that the real issue is sexual freedom for all sexualities), but sometimes lesbians and gays label bisexuals "traitors" for this reason.

And also More women — particularly those in their late teens and 20s — are experimenting with bisexuality or at least feel more comfortable reporting same-sex encounters, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control. (I added this because women are more likely to talk about bisexual encounters, feelings or identification whereas on the whole men generally don't report or talk about sexuality or sexual orientation. Maybe because on the whole society: both men and women feel more comfortable with women being bisexual because often men are attracted to the thought of two women together and thus, this fantasy is reinforced by the mainstream media.
Anyone can be bisexual. )

Answer 3

Um, no they can't. As a very confused teenager who claimed to be bisexual, I can testify that girls get all the same "One or the other" crap.
Guys can be bisexual. Simple as that. I think most of it is that women being with each other sexually is a bit more socially acceptable (thank you, porn), even as they are with men. Men being with a man and then being with a woman, isn't seen as a norm. Think about it for sec. MALE dominate society, many different histories (the most recent of which are the Mormons and the American Indians) which show men with more than one wife, but never with a husband, and, last but not least, a fairly MALE dominate porn industry that makes it out to be "every man's fantasy" for two women to have sex together. Doesnt add up well for male bisexuals, does it?

Answer 4

Guys are very very rarely bisexual to the extent that women are. Sexuality isn't a fluid thing for most women. Men are just more rigid about their sexual roles. Even most bisexual men I've met seem to more switch from gay to straight than ever blur their sexual identity.

Answer 5

I think for the most of bi-sexual males they are in the closet. I have seen some pictures of guys engaged in homosexual or bisexual pornography that I would have NEVER thought them to be either.

Answer 6

For some odd reason,once a guy ''dabbles''in that arena he loses some of his masculinity an the DQ in him comes out.I'm not just sayin that cuz I think its a turn off.I wouldn't mind if my man dabbled,as long as I could watch an he still acted like a man after wards.

Answer 7

My ex was bi and it was never an issue. Of course guys can be bisexual!

Answer 8

I'm a guy and i am Bisexual. i don't know why they say that, i guess it has to do with fear. they think it's too confusing. they rather if you're a guy who likes women you're macho, if you like guys you're a sissy. that's all the guys knows, but when it comes to bisexuality, they just jump down our throats.

Answer 9

Not that complicated. I am bi and my wife and I love each other.

Answer 10

hmmm, interesting question... are you bisexual, have you had peopel saying these daft things to you?
