Bisexuality

[YamiB]

I was kind of suprised that there was pretty conclusive disagreement with the ideas from my original post as they were all ideas that I had actually heard about bisexuals before. I have personaly been told that there is no such thing as bisexuality and that I was just confused when he found out that I was bisexual.

I think that bisexuality exists. The concept does get a lot of confusion, misunderstanding, and misrepresentation from a lot of people, but I don't think that it's wrong.
The hormones argument doesn't really make sense: hormones would make you more promiscuous, not bisexual. I really don't understand the greedy argument: bi people may have a larger percentage of the population to court, but they'd probably have an easier time if they were at one end of the spectrum. They're also not going to be able to date everyone: people have types to which they're attracted. Seeing particular traits in both genders doesn't mean that everyone in both genders is going to have the special spark.
Some teenage/ college age girls do sometimes pretend to be bi to attract boys, but simply choosing a suggestive means of getting attention doesn't determine your sexual orientation.

What do you think of bisexuals?

Do they just have overactive hormones (a little too randy)?
Are they just confused?
Are they greedy?
Is it simply a fad?

Human sexuality is a huge spectrum. There isnt just straight and gay, there is inbetween on variying levels, some men may like women more but are attracted to men, or vice versa - same with women. I personaly think this is perfectly natural. Though some might say it to look cool (or as mentioned attract the opposite sex).

If a guy i date turns out to like men as well as women, no problem. Just if if i ever end up with a bi guy again, i hope i know about it in some way before hand (the last guy i had a proper relationship wih wasnt "out of the closet" in the bi sense and didnt tell me until a year after we broke up - i was more worried from the STD perspective and the fact he was lying the whole time >.< )

Bisexual people definately exist in the truest sense of the word but I think many people could simply be considered "open minded" or "curious" with regard to sexual activity.

I also think, maybe because I am a man, that it is both more socially acceptable and natural for a woman to be bisexual rather than a man.

Agreed. I know several women who have tried it "just to see what it's like", whereas I know no men who have. Perhaps it's due to the same kind of makeup that makes them more likely to say that a girl is attractive than a guy saying another guy is.

I know men who have tried it, some would admit it, and some only admitted it over time.

Hehe, and fair play to them. I've jokingly said several times that I wish I were bi, it'd be the best of both worlds. Unfortunately I'm stuck being straight

I like them!

No more than your average heterosexual!

Are they just confused?

No more than your average heterosexual!

Are they greedy?

No more than your average heterosexual!

Is it simply a fad?

Is loving and caring for another ever a fad?

Bisexuals: In my teen daughters ‘opinion’, which I value; she believes some Bisexuals are by ‘fad’. She also sees bisexuality being confusion amongst her peers within her school as to who they feel they are. She has a dear friend that is. And she witnesses his burdens and confusion.

How do I feel about her friend? Both our hearts go out to him for the turmoil he goes through. And it is by no means anything that my daughter and I can understand or try to fix for him, except to be his friend. God says to love one another. Condemnation was not given to Christians or non-Christians etc. (That is why I enjoy the belief of Jesus I have – it is between each person’s heart and Him.) I share with my children that sexual relations has a design by God. I encourage them to read and discern. I have been asked what I would do if my children would live a life such as bisexual etc. My children would know how I felt. I would hope they would also know above all, I love them, by what they witness from me by how I treat other people. I would never give them up, for their well being is my job, as their Mom – to the best of my ability.

Where does it leave her friend? It leaves him, with a God that loves him. There is more to his story then anyone knows, including myself and it is not for us to judge.

My daughter, she listens. She laughs with him. She is his friend. And I am so touched in my heart that she has the wisdom to know when to share and when to listen -when to advise and when to say – I just don’t know.

As one of the posts said: “They are people - as valuable and beloved of God as any other people”.
Others maybe bisexual because of being intersexed. An intersexed person is someone whose physical sexual differentiation at and from birth is atypical. Most intersexed people are born with ‘ambiguous’ sex organs, ([FONT=&quot]hermaphrodite)[/FONT] so that classification of sex at birth as male or female is in fact by chance at what is best. Such best guesses at what gender they should be raised is not infrequently proved wrong over time.
(I have read) There also is a rare form of intersexuality, in which the sex organs at the time of birth appear to be female but become more male in type with the onset of puberty. It affords no relief to those whose sex organs are ‘ambiguous’ and who are unwilling to submit to radical and indeed potentially life-threatening genital surgery. (This is not by my knowledge, but again taken from things I have read.)

Do we answers for all this? No. But, I believe if we do our part and love those who seem hard to love, we have our answer from God, as to how we should be living our life as God wants us to, wants me to respond and be. I believe that is where I should be with my thoughts and my relationship with God.
In 1 John 4: 20 -21
I believe it when He says: If anyone says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God 5 whom he has not seen.
This is the commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Sincerely,
Mickey

I figure bisexuals are healthy human beings, who don't select their mates by what body parts they may or may not have.

Responding to the topic post:

Bisexuals are like gay or straight people in that they're born that way. They like guys and girls. Good for them.

Greedy? If anyone somehow thinks they're greedy, that's just ****ing stupid.
