I don't think that is why some people are bisexual. The people I know who are bisexual are attracted to people of both sexes and can form intimate partnerships with someone of either sex. It isn't about "lust." It's about attraction and love.Most People are bi for sexual pleasure or lust to be with man and a woman. aside from sexual pleasure why would someone be bi?
I know married people who are bisexual. I know quite a few.That is true that so people choose. Those who choose are mostly out of curiosity, they don't know what they are as far as sexuality goes. Bisexuality is mostly among younger teenagers, though I have met and adult or two who claims to be bisexual. But I've never met a married person who claims it.
This is not true. You don't know what you are talking about on this subject.Same sex feelings sometimes develop during adolescence for whatever reason. As people mature they have a greater understanding of what they are attracted to and the feelings go away.
This is why it is common in teenagers and college students, while those who are older and married don't have those feelings. There are rare exceptions when those feelings are not let go.
Attractions are not afflictions, and you don't need to "get over them." Your negative assumptions about gay and bisexual people are embedded in the language you use when you write about this topic.How is it not true?
There are a lot of people that suffered with those attractions and get over it as they mature.

LOL!Correction--There are a lot of Catholics who suffer attractions (and most things, for that matter). The rest of us enjoy them.

What evidence do you have that people "get over" being bisexual? Your statement sounds like prejudice talking.
And how do you know all this?People 'get over' them regardless of whether or not someone thinks they need to.
What negative assumptions would those be?
"Experimenting" occurs in youth. People have mixed attractions, act on them and come to the conclusion that they're heterosexual. It's just a common occurrence as people try to sort out their (relatively) new sexual attractions, desires and needs.

Gay people are not just "guys." Plenty of us are women.I disagree- a lot of people do suffer from them, because society still looks down on homosexuality, as being emasculating. A lot of guys are ashamed of or confused by their attractions.
Horizonal, in looking at your post, I think you are mixing up people who are bisexual in orientation with people who experiment sexually in their youth. I think you are right that many young people do experiment sexually, in various ways. But people who are bisexual have a basic orientation that is bisexual. They are not people who just try out sex with people of both sexes.People 'get over' them regardless of whether or not someone thinks they need to.

What surveys? Please cite them.Psychological surveys.
"Bisexual" behavior and attractions are just part of youth that is grown out of by adulthood generally.

Some people have argued that bisexuals don't really exist. But I know bisexuals, and so I know they exist.
You still have provided no evidence. You claim there are surveys to support your argument, but you have cited none so far. I am waiting.Both are closely related- people experiment sexually in their youth because they have these feelings and attractions and choose to act on them in order to work them out. Some would be more inclined then others. Some have different inclinations.
The point is, they have some kind of inclination, they are acting on them and they release as they mature that's not really what they want.
