bisexuals, do they exist?

I never thought about it. I believe that there are people who actually do like both sexes.

If we find someone attractive, and i mean purely in a physical sense, then surely that has little to do with their sex, and more to do with their face or body. Differing sexual parts aside, i know some really handsome guys, and some guys who are as pretty as girls, and as a chap who is quite comfortable in his sexuality...i can look at a guy who has a well honed body, and think he looks good....and maybe in my gay moments, wonder what it would be like to wrestle with him without clothes. Does that make me Bi?..maybe i'm just a dude who is attracted to people who look nice, regardless of whats between their legs, though in general i prefer girls...as they look better naked i thnk....and you have more "options" with the...heh heh.

Animals frequently have sex with their same sex counterparts, even though they know it has nothing to do with breeding, we are animals who learn how to act more than any other animal...i'd say Bi-sexual people are merely folk who are honest about their natural attractions and have learned to disregard male/female divisions.

No need to class them as any different than us.

I mean you lot, i'm tri-sexual....aw man thats an old one.

Q. Bisexuals, do they exist?

A. Yes.

Good answer brett.

Care to elaborate...huh pretty boy?..huh?

Uhhh... there are bisexuals?

I really don't see what the confusion is *chuckles*

OK...

Imagine sexuality is a beam of white light. If you put a prism in the way of the beam it will split up into the components that make up white like which we call a spectrum. The sexuality spectrum is just like the light spectrum. You have every possible combination of sexual desires that combine to make the whole.

So you have (male)homosexuality (RED), heterosexuality(GREEN) and (female)homosexuality (BLUE). Each of these sexualities can mix a bit here and there to make an almost infinite possibility of desire. Remember that a colour palette is not linear, it's like a big bowl of mixing colours.

Another way to look at it would be like a political compass. Y axis is your like of men from 10 to -10 and the X axis is your preference of women from 10 to -10.

Actually, this sexuality compass is probably a much better way of looking at it.

on the sexuality spectrum can the female homosexuality be red? I don't like blue

Anways...back to the subject at hand
I put myself into the categorie of bi because it explains my intentions better. I am mostly attracted to girls and I don't beleive I've ever liked a guy they way that I've liked a girl but I want to keep myself open for the possibility. I'm only 15, so I know theres still a good chance that I do meet my one and only, wich might happen to be a guy. If I label myself a straight up lesbian, I put into my mind and into guys minds that I'm not looking for that one and only. I'll cut off all relations that I had with guys sexually and probably not associate with them, except on buddy terms.

So...I guess you can say in my case that a bisexual is a lesbian who is coming to terms with their sexuality but is not cutting off all the possibilities.

I believe it is possible to be bi sexual, because I think it could be easy to be turned on by either sex if the right person is doing the right thing.

Setting love aside and moving to straight sexual attraction, if a female likes bondage and it turns her on, and another female is doing bondage with her, I'm sure that she would be sexually turned on by the act, even if she were "straight." It depends on how straight laced people are sexually, if people are open I'm sure it's easier for them to let loose and enjoy the sensations rather than the gender.

Adding love to the equation, you LOVE personalities, not genders. If you are a sexually open person (bi sexual), you will choose lovers based upon their personalities and who you are mosst compatible with rather than discriminating by gender, which obviously narrows down the field.

I have actually seen it hypothesized that EVERYONE is bi sexual, that very few people are completely straight and very few are completely gay. I've seen it demonstrated on a scale of 1-10, 10 being flaming gay and 1 being straight as a balance beam. Most straight people, especially women, are typically around a 2 or 3, because it is more socially acceptable for women to indulge sexually with other women.

Your teacher sure is an idiot if he said that..

How can he possibly know?

I believe that they do exist.... and that was a uncalled for comment on your teachers behalf

*note: haven't read previous replies*

Here's a fact, (and I do mean fact) any person can choose whether or not to have a sexual experience with someone the same gender. If I wanted to, I could be a lesbian or have romantic relations with both sexes, but being the person who I've grown into, I choose to remain the sexuality that I was born to be.
point: I do not believe that people are born bisexual, but I definetly don't believe that people accept it merely to be accepted themselves. Perhaps that's the cases with some people, just as some people choose to be homosexual to be accepted and some are born into it (my opinion), but I think that people can either grow to or teach themselves to love a person for their person, not their physical being.
Sex itself is not really an issue. People can be aroused by either sex, it just depends on what kind of people they are (women usually tend to be able to have sexual relations with other women even if they are straight) if a person is able to fall in love with someone for their self as I stated earlier, then they would be attracted to both sexes and be able to have romantic relations with them.
I don't see anything wrong with it if that's a point here. I believe it's a choice, and can be a good one.

I can recognise a good looking, hunky man in the street, but I am never attracted to them.

I'd advise every one to watch Chasing Amy.

Force or train?

As I've said before, with a slighly different choice of words, your teacher is a (pink) dildo!

I highly doubt that only one gene decides whether you are gay or not...

And...

You are not bi if you think someone of the same sex is handsome...

Why is everyone so ****** stupid in here?

Seriously...

YES they do......your teacher is a moron for saying they don't........

Yes they do.... my sister is bi and so is my boyfriend

I think it is possible that bisexual is a symptom of indecision and that some people simply can't decide whether they are more attracted to one sex or the other, but on the other hand I think there are just as many people who are genuinely attracted to both sexes. Kinsey has a lot of ideas on this subject that I think are very valid.

I, myself, label myself as a bisexual although I have a preference (like many bisexuals) towards relationships with males. I have done relationships with females and I feel more inclined to the physical nature of being with a female and the comfort of being with a female but in general prefer male companionship when it comes to actually having a relationship.

And just for reference I cannot stand girls who get drunk, kiss their best friends, and then say they are "bi." That is not the bisexual nature I am talking about.

Of course...

Why is it a sad thread?

"I cannot stand girls who get drunk, kiss their best friends, and then say they are "bi."

Agree. Being bisexual myself, I am honestly comfortable in either relationship. Being faithful really has nothing to do with which orientation you associate yourself with. I know straight, gay & bi people who have problems remaining faithful.

I was confused when I was younger because I thought I had to be a lesbian if I was attracted to women, but I was attracted to guys too, I had no idea what bisexual was until I was heading into my teen years.

Fools, do they exist?

Abby - somehow... and from NO factual evidence collected and no research completed... just from this thread created alone...

I beleive they do.

Why is it so important to put labels on ppl. I think a person can fall in love with either an man or a woman at some point in his/ her life. It's awfull to imeadiately have other put a label on you.
Why should it matter who you love as long as you have someone to love you are truly blessed, that's my opinion.

Are you seriously asking that question? I'm sorry but... duh
