Does being bisexual lessen or heighten with age?

Question

For me (a female), I am interested in girly/emotional men or boyish/confident women.

Does bisexuality ever tone down with age or after finding your significant other? For those who are bisexual, do you still look at both genders after being with your partner?

Please excuse my ignorance on this question. I didn't know how to word it.

Answer 1

for me it has heightened, due to the fact that i owned up to my feelings for men that I guess I have kept hidden. I am now more willing to meet guys and be out with them on a date and not worry about what other people think

Answer 2

I believe that in most cases, bisexuals end up "going one way or the other." This happens because in time they develop a preference for either female or male, and a committed relationship gets established eventually. NOT EVERYONE IS BISEXUAL. The only people who believe THAT are bisexuals! If you believe "we're all bisexual" then you take away everyone's right of identifying themselves! Most people in the world seem to want to pair up as a couple - NOT as a threesome when they settle down. Some people in relationships still feel attracted to both, maybe not, but that doesn't matter so much. When you get older and you have had years of soul-searching and a few relationships under your belt, you discover that relationships in threes typically do not work - especially if you find someone really special and you want it to last. Most people won't want to share their love with a third wheel and you cannot blame them or expect them to be ok with that. Because of these things, I believe that most bisexuals make changes through time. And just because you "look" at the other gender, doesn't mean you have to act on it (and you shouldn't if you are committed in a gay or a straight relationship). Fair is fair: Don't commit if you cannot. If you are committed to someone, then be faithful and don't spend too much time looking at the other gender. Most people don't share emotional and physical intimacy and grow old with between three people!

hey! if you like girly emotional guys, then send me an e-mail. i'd love to chat. always enjoy taking to other bisexuals and meeting new people on line to share stories and feelings with.

based on what i feel, and based on what many others have told me, we are born bisexual but just don't know it yet.

there are different levels of being bi. not everyone will be 50-50. some are more 70-30% in terms of what they like from what sex (some want sex love and romance and commpannionship from one gender, but only desire sex from the other.)

bottom line, these feelings apparently don't change. it's just that the older we get, the more we learn and understand about ourselves.

it took me 33 years to realize i was a true bisexual. i sorta liked guys but never really allowed myself to explore this.

sounds like you are "mostly lesbian but more than incidental straight"

you seem to want everything from women. guess you need to decide what exactly is it about guys that you like? is it just about looks/physical/sex curiousity? or do these feelings go deeper into interests of love, romance, relationships etc..

that is very interesting that you like feminine guys but boyish girls.

for me, i like both sexes equaly, and tend to like femine characteristics of both.

as far as being with a partner, i haven't had a partner since i realized i was bi. but when i was in straight relationships, i'd still "check out" others..

some bisexuals are happy dating one person at a time, while some others can't be happy unless they have one of each.. this can make it tough on partners. some are more open and understanding than others.

most bisexuals tell me that their best relationships are when they date other bisexuals, so they can totally open up and share thoughts.. they can walk down the street together and talk about how sexy everyone looks!

realizing that i am bi and also have transgendered feelings (that means i disagree with societies roles for males and i identify more with female roles), the way i look at everybody has changed.. it especially has changed the way i look at a guy.. i can now allow my feelings to be more open and not be afraid to admit when i think a guy is hot.

i honestly believe that i will never lose interest in either sex.. and i don't think that will change regardless of who i date..

hope this helps..

Answer 4

I've been with my girlfriend for about seven months now and I'm still attracted to both genders. It doesn't matter though because she's the only one that I want to be with, not because of her sex just because it's her. I don't see myself ever not getting turned on by guys, but that's irrelevant because I choose her over all others male and female.

I still check out anyone I think is hot. No rules against window shopping.

Answer 5

to a point it lessens because most peopel amrry and become monogomous with one gender. its also weird to tell your children you're bisexual- children/teens don't like to think of their parents dating, being 'normal' like they are, or (god forbid) having sex. they all got here from the stork, remember,

I'm with a male, monogomously and we do want to marry one day in the future,.
I suppose I lust for women a bit more, because I know I can never have one- I am taken. I have gotten pickier though. when I see models I want gorgeous ones- since I can only look I want to look at something great.

its cool, your question wasn't offensive. the more knowledge the more people understand- the less hate we have

Answer 6

Well I say it depends on how much you explored your curiousity when you were young. The whole mid-life crisis thing probably puts that question back in your mind. Depending on your situation?

Answer 7

I think being bisexual might kinda go down as you get older. I think when you're younger you might still be kinda confused or unsure... but I dunno lol. Someone else will be able to give a better answer.

Answer 8

I do not think so. People are born straight, bi or gay.. it is always like that reguardless of what others say
