That makes her bi.... lol....incidental?? A handful??? It's no accident if you get head from another man. I think you have an issue with being called gay or bi. It's not meant as an insult, it's simply a fact. I'm calling you gay, bi or lesbian if you engage in sexual activities with others of the same sex. If you only like sex with members of the opposite sex, you're straight like me. There is no str8
You keep jumping in to correct me when I call out people who don't know the difference between gay and bi. They say, "it makes you gay, no ifs ands or buts." I point out that that's not the case (because there is a whole spectrum of preferences between strictly straight and strictly gay, which is called bisexuality) and you jump in to say, "that's bi," which was my whole point. I tried to use humor to point out that you never see gay men call bi men straight because of a single straight experience, and you were like, "that's because they're bi." I tried to point out that nobody calls bi women lesbians, and you were like, "that's because they're bi." Dude, why do you keep telling ME this? Tell it to these homophobic straight men calling all bi guys gay!
My wife considers herself bisexual. She's attracted to both men and women. When I asked if that dude considered her a lesbian, it was to illustrate that he probably wouldn't call her that. He'd say bi. So why not with men?
I am somewhat bi too, but less so than my wife. I'm not attracted to men. I'm turned on by putting my sexual autonomy in my wife's hands, and letting her dictate things that take me out of my comfort zone, which on a couple of occasions has included her telling me to obey a bull who wanted to be serviced. So yes, I'm to some degree bisexual. The reason I used the word "incidental" is because that word is used in actual studies of human sexuality. I'm about a 1 on the Kinsey scale, which is quite literally defined as "Predominantly heterosexual, only incidental homosexual/same-sex behavior or attraction."
I don't have a hard time admitting this at all. I'm not trying to hide or sugar coat anything. I'm pointing out how fucking assenine it is to call someone like me "100% gay," even though I've never sought any contact with another man on my own, and still haven't met or seen one I'm sexually attracted to. In fact, if I were attracted to men, it would be a different kind of rush altogether. The reason I've enjoyed it is that I enjoy submission. So to others who aren't so judgmental, I say I'm primarily straight, because I'm only really attracted to women, but I'm not concerned if lines get a little blurred if that's what's exciting and comfortable for all involved. I'm quite upfront about it. Call me bi, hetero flexible, a part-time cock sucker, whatever floats your boat. I know who I'm attracted to. On Kasidie, the categories they offer are straight, bi-curious, bi-comfortable, bisexual, open-minded, and gay. On our profile there, I identify as bi-comfortable. I'm well aware that puts me somewhere on the spectrum of bisexuality, so to neanderthals who need to decide on labels for other people, sure. I'm bi. The reason I'll give a more in-depth explanation isn't to hide anything, it's quite the opposite. Explaining which side of the spectrum I'm closer to gives a more accurate description of my sexual preferences and tendencies. Accurately defining things is the whole point of labeling things, right? Unless of course you're doing it to put others down. Then you say things like, “if you aren't strictly, adamantly, completely straight, you're GAY. It's not complicated." You lump everyone you want to see as different from you into the same category, and use the name for the polar opposite of how you identify yourself as an insult, to be dismissive of all of those filthy, un-straight freaks.
So sure, keep lecturing ME on what bisexuality means, everytime I point out where someone ELSE refused to even type the word, and can't seem to recognize that gay and bi don't mean the same thing. People here have some weird fear of acknowledging that bi men actually exist, separately from gay men, and it doesn't mean they're going to make unwanted advances on straight men. Dudes here have a hard time acknowledging that preference is a spectrum, not a light switch. Bi men are a diverse group, and in many cases are more different from gay men than they are from straight men. So why do so many straight men here have a compulsive need to call them all gay? And why are you correcting me and not them?
