Do you think most ppl are innately bisexual?

Question

I don't. What do you think?

steve.c_50, a simple thought doesn't make a person bisexual. There has to be a deep desire and knowing from the core of the person that they like men and women. Just because a random thought pops in your head -- that doesn't determine orientation. I don't why bisexuals are so insistent in their argument that everyone is bi. I mean - why??? It won't work and it'll be uphill battle for them to convince all the world that we like both. You can't get inside my head and convince me that I'm bi because I'm not!

The bottomline is this: speculating is a waste of time.

Superficial attraction stemming from recognizing a person's aesthetic beauty is not bisexuality.

"Oh I think that actress is pretty! I wonder where she got her dress!"

For one to have a deeper attraction leading to bisexual feelings, there has to be something more than "I like both" but a deep desire to hook up with either gender in an intimate (emotional / sexual) relationship.

So, no folks, we are not all bisexual.

I don't know why ppl focus so much on the Kinsey scale. It's simply a theory! Yea, Freud was a theorist too and some things he said didn't make logical sense. Why is it that when one is a researcher ppl think what they say is 'set in stone accurate.' You know they can be wrong. And I'm not saying they are totally wrong but I'm not saying they are 100% accurate either. I wouldn't believe everything you read.

If I recall I think I read somewhere that sexual orientation experiments studied ppl's level of arousal upon seeing erotic images of both men and women. That determines sexual orientation – level of arousal???? I thought attraction and the corresponding self-identification labels meant attraction, emotionally speaking. You know ‘falling in love’stems from brain chemicals! Anybody can get aroused (even learn to) from sexy images -- but that doesn't mean there's an attraction from a mind-to-mind standpoint.

A meeting of the minds is what makes relationships work, not a meeting of the ‘what’s below.’ I think that’s why so many relationships don’t work is because ppl focus too much on sex and not working on the actual relationship. What about common interests, clicking with the other person, liking them because of their value system, personality traits, intelligence, spirit and essence of who they are.

What's with this shades or gray? There are 2 sexes: Man and Woman. You (even if you have dated both, past or present) either end up with one or the other - UNLESS you are one of those who is engaged in multiple partner lifestyles which is just gross. Ppl have no self-control or self-respect anymore and just hop in the sack with anyone. They can't wait til they fall in love because their brain is on the other end of their body. The problem is they don't think on their own and follow what everyone else is doing. Just because ppl are sleeping around doesn't make it right. Just take a look at the sex-drenched media and how that is affecting society - especially youth - today!

The emotional aspect of a relationship is far more important than the sexual aspect. I'm not saying the latter is not important. It should be the icing on top of the cake, not the cake -- a bonus in a relationship that is already working on an emotional / intellectual / spiritual level.

Lastly, I'd like to add that thinking someone is attractive is DIFFERENT than being attracted to them. As a woman, sure I've seen other women that are pretty and such BUT I don't want to hook up with them in an intimate encounter because I don't work that way.

Commenting on aesthetic beauty / grooming does not make a bisexual.

Simple affection between women does not make a bisexual. Think of close friends, family members, etc.

There has to be a deep knowing and longing from the inside of the person to really want to be with that gender on all levels - emotionally / sexually / intellectually / spiritually - as well as the desire to spend the rest of your life together.

I don't understand this whole sexual orientation spectrum shades of gray in-between stuff. How can a person be partly bisexual? That's like saying a person is partly pregnant. You either are or you aren't! Who a person ends up with speaks huge volumes who they really like -- no matter what they label themselves. Actions speak louder than labels.

People are interchanging the terms 'sexual' and 'bisexual.'

Yes, we're all sexual creatures BUT we're not all bisexual creatures.

Why?

Becuase not every man and woman on this planet has dual attractions. Sweeping generalizations don't prove anything. It's bisexuals wishful thinking that we're all like them. They may as well rub a magic lamp!

The bottomline is this: ppl may have varying degrees of desires -- but you end up either gay or straight. What purpose does it serve when one is already in a long-term committed relationship to defend their orientation via a label. They're already telling the world who they really like as reflected by their current relationship status.

Answer 1

No. Women only for me.

Answer 2

I think people have varying degrees of desires, which they will act on or not, depending on the strength of the desire. I'm almost sure that "100% Straight" people have at least thought about it.

Edit: It depends on how you define "bisexual". I know many that have crossed the sex line and experimented. Does that make them bisexual? It's like the old joke, a man says "I've drove a truck for forty years and sucked one dick. You think people call me a truck driver?" As far as getting in your head..pffft, you asked for opinions...

Answer 3

I do... I think it's kind of a 1-10 scale... some people are on the far end one way or the other, others float in the middle...

Answer 4

I think that they are. The extent of which is individual.

Answer 5

No. That is disgusting.

Answer 6

I do.
