I Luuurrrrvvvvvee you David Bowie! :drool:

I love your name, I love you sexuality. And I think if you work hard enough, bowie will look deep into your heart and love you back!

This is a bit off topic, I think--

But David Bowie, I love you! I also love the other you! You know, the you who you're based off of... you know what I mean.

Dance, magic, dance! :D

Bowiesexual should be its own category. You are an angel to have thought of it.


(On further reflection I think that the best way to distract a room-full of GLBTQ youth is to mention the name "David Bowie." I'm bonding with my current crush over Labyrinth, actually.)

i have to say that for me, it isn't just sex or having sex with both genders. bisexual to me is someone who is open to having a relationship with either sex. drawn on all levels to either sex. falling in love with whoever it is you find that connection with, not just finding them hot enough to jump in the sack with. lol. aesthetics really has nothing to do with it for me. for my perception of bisexuality i mean. yes. being open to whoever it is that comes your way and fits with you in all ways that matter to you.

There's this horrible misconception taht being bisexual means being promiscuous. When I was younger and tried coming out to my mum, it seemed to be worse than coming out as gay! She was quite adamant that people can't pick and choose as they please, they must commit to being one or the other.

Which simply isn't true.

A bisexual person, can't stand the idea of having to choose one gender over the other because, while either offers their own special benefits and drawing cards, neitehr is really preferrable at the expense of the other.

Another good, though perhaps ocassionally misleading, indicator of bisexuality beyond the 'would you or wouldn't you?' question, is whether the person under debate has a history of having erotic dreams where the object of their affections may change genders over different nights, or whether they themselves ocassionally take on the opposite gender in their dream roles in order to engage with their dream partner in a conventional heterosexual sense.

Dude, seriously? THANK you!

Is 'Bisexual' anything like 'Bipedal?' If so, I think the entire concept of Bisexuality is ridiculous. I've never even met anyone with two sets of genitals, far less the ability to use them!

X) I think you're thinking of hermaphrodites, which is, I suppose, a more reasonable interpretation of the term 'bisexual', since 'sexual' does generally refer to the physical sexes rather than ones gender. Otherwise 'sexual intercourse' could mean intercourse (i.e. conversation) between creatures who HAVE a sex, whichever that may be! ;)

Incidentally, hermaphorodites, in as far as I've read documented, do not have full functionality of their atypical sex organs. This should be distinguished from transgender people going through sex change operations, whose genitalia go through a series of cosmetic and hormone-induced changes to resemble as closely as possible the organs of their target gender.

I have met two actually.. it is rather, interesting. However, onto the subject at hand.

To be bisexual is to want relationships with both genders. Honestly, I do not care if people want to do that. That is their own provocative. To be Bisexual is just a term for a midway point for Heterosexuals and Homosexuals. It is not based off sex, it is based off feelings and the wanting for a relationship or partner. It is a term you can use for saying "Hey, I date people of both sexes. Not just one"

Bisexual people, having lived with two of them, are people who can fall in love with either gender and pursue a relationship with that person. They give no regard to gender, just the personality of the person. That's how my roommates described how they saw themselves being bisexual. My friend is probably an exact middle 3 on the kinsey scale, he's had just as many boyfriends as girlfriends. The other roommate is closer to a 2, she's had slightly more boyfriends than girlfriends.

Regardless, I see being bi is more of a state of mind rather than who you sleep with. Because some people "swing the other way" when they're drunk.

First off, you cannot turn bi. If they claim to have been straight, like with the girls who couldn't get a a guy and therefore went for girls, they are not truly bi. They just choose to believe they are. The form of being bi, lesbian, or gay is simply a chemical imbalance in the brain. You are born with it. So you may not become bi, just simply choose to believe you are; which I like to call a 'poser'. Being bi, I believe it's when you choose your partner based not upon their human figure but on their personality. When you are physically and mentally attracted to both sexes. I am a bi, and even for me it's kind of hard to explain.

I guess when I think of bisexual, I think of someone who is sexually and/or romantically involved or willing to be involved with either sex. I don't think it's just based on looks. Like if I saw a woman who was very pretty and thought "Wow! She's beautiful!" I wouldn't consider myself bisexual.

I am Bisexual. i identify as bisexual because i can love someone no matter they're gender. Because i do not judge someone based on their outsides, but on their insides alone. that is what 'turns me on' if you will about a person. That is what makes me attracted to someone. not their hair or their eyes or their ass or their breasts. i think people who can only see the outside are shallow and un-understanding of peoples individuality.

i have been all the way with both genders, even simultaneously. Currently i am in a relationship exclusively dedicating myself to one male. I still find things exciting about people, but i resit the urge to act on it because i am in a closed relationship. this, however, does not make me straight. (something he doesnt understand) To identify as bisexual means you find things sexually and otherwise attractive about both genders, not just one, for me.

Other believe to be bisexual you must be in a relationship with a man and a woman at the same time, whoever, i know a polygamous relationship in which both partners have other partners of both genders but they all identify as straight. so there.

I think that they're are sliding scales, so very few of us are fully homo- or heterosexual. I think many of us stick with heterosexuality, because it's easier to find others of our heterosexual persuasion.

I think Bisexuality may differ in what it strictly is to them. Some would think it would mean being able to go all the way with a person and become sexually attracted to the same gender as yourself. I would agree to disagree on this point. One is not going to jump into bed with the first person of their gender to see if they are actually able to enjoy it.

It's more like that you can be romantically attracted to the same gender that holds the key here I think. You've gotta have some ability to form a romantic attraction to a person to really consider yourself bisexual in any form.

Bi-curious may or may not fall under that line though, but it is a possibility. For the most part you have to imagine if you are actually attracted to the idea of sleeping with the same gender over everything. Some remain bi-curious just because they can't envision themselves being able to go to that level with a person and find it just easier to remain hetrosexual and call it a day. It wouldn't stop them from looking however, but they generally keep it quiet to anyone but themselves.

Of course some in highschool who claim to be Bi (not all mind you, and not to be made offensive, it's from what I've seen from a group of kids that annoyed me to no end) might do it to be popular but would not actually consider doing anything with the same gender. Always having a reason to be falling for only the opposite gender. I had seen this myself done by quite a few at my highschool and it rather annoyed me, they were all in the same group of friends as well so it made me wonder if each of them were saying it to remain 'popular' in that group.

I'm bi-sexual, have been since I can remember. When I was in elementary school I can remember having a huge crush on my female baby sitter. I've always had crushes on males too. I've had physical relationships with both. I think that sexuality is a sliding scale. I think Some people can be a little "gay". I think it all comes down to physical response. I like to think I am capable of loving people, not the packages they came in....but I'll admit some of those packages are cuter than others.

I got this from my sister. Girls are all bi most prefer guys. Guys are either gay or they aren't.
I believe in it.

That is so remarkably off base.

One of my bisexual female friends told me that she only feels complete if she is involved romantically with both a man and a woman (not necessarily at the same time, mind you). She's married to a man, but he understands her bisexuality and allows her to be with a woman as well. I know not all bisexual people feel the need to date one of each. I'm bisexual, but I only date one person at a time. I simply thought it was interesting that my friend stated her bisexuality in that way.

True, but it entails bisexuality in her case because she loves a man and a woman. She is attracted to members of both sexes and capable of loving both in a romantic, intimate fashion.
