What is the bisexual lifestyle like?

What is my life like?  Pretty boring honestly.  \n\nThere is some oppressive sh*t that you have to deal with, and it sucks that it comes from both sides.  When I told me ex boyfriend I was bi, he called me a whore and we don't speak anymore (we were very friendly after the break up and shared a lot of mutual friends so this was a big loss).  He came from a VERY fundie family, so this was a hugh shock to him.  My parents assumed I would never have children.  People whom I expressly told I was bi would call me a lesbian, joke that I was a lesbian, or tell others that I was a lesbian.  A little good natured ribbing is fine, but at some point you have to wonder if that isn't some repressive biphoibic thing rearing its head right there.  Men I don't know are the WORST.  They will not hesitate to harass me and my girlfriend on the street for wearing a pride pin or holding hands, and if they see us dancing or kissing at a straight bar, forget about it.  They will be all over us, propositioning us for sex, groping, grabbing, and when you blow them off, they get angry and rude.  That really is the worst part for me.\n\nFrom gay folks the reaction is mixed.  Older gay people really don't "get" it, but they're usually not rude about it to my face.  They grew up in a binary world where gay was gay and straight was straight and ne'er the two shall meet, so I can forgive them as long as they're not mean about it.  One of the interesting things about being bi is that everyone tells you about their little bi moments -- including gay people.  Two of the most popular most active most effeminate gay guys on campus made it a point to tell me that they actually think they're more bi, they just don't want to be open about it because they would loose face.  Around campus, gay folks are almost uniformly polite to my face, but we're a small batch and word gets around, so I know some of them (lesbians in particular) have been saying that I was just a straight girl who was curious and trendy... that ended when I got a serious girlfriend (2 years).  Again, some people make comments about how my girlfriend and I are lesbians or call us a lesbian couple or talk about a lesbian marriage -- even though neither of us is a lesbian.  It's kinda weird, sometimes there is just not another good word or phrase that fits, sometimes it feels like this passive agressiveness because they don't believe that you're bi anymore since you're with a girl.  \n\nOtherwise, I live a painfully normal life.  I go to school, I have a cat, an apartment, friends.  I go out, I stay in.  I visit my family.  I shower and eat and breathe and all that jazz.  Other then a few isolated occurances and relationships and patterns, being bi doesn't affect 90% of my life.

I'm not addressing the threesome issue, your business and without knowing you and your guy, I couldn't begin to offer useful input..... but as for "bisexuality normal or not???"\nYes, it's normal...for human beings to be sexually attracted to other human beings is normal... the majority are attracted more or less exclusively to humans of the opposite gender, a very significant minority are attracted to humans of the same gender, and some fall in between, with varying levels of attraction to both genders. So long as the attraction is to humans, it's normal.

Chances are you know bisexual people already. I have been finding that people that are bisexual generally keep it quiet because of society, and it is easier to just show their hetero side.\n\nBeing open about the subject, and being nonjudgemental, will probably open others up as well. I know it is a little nerve wracking, but it is the only way that I have seen that works.\n\nMy wife is bisexual, and we were very nervous about finding a third. It was very nerve wracking, but we got over it. We found that honesty and openness was the best way. She and I have been seeing a girl, both independently and together, for over 2 years now. It is wonderful.

Sometimes I think people think bisexuallity should mean a license to cheat. My girlfriend is thin, I like having sex with plus size women. So using the logic I have heard some bisexual people use, I should be able to have sex with my plus size friends.\nMost sexual relationships involve an emotional quotient. It is hard to share intimacy with two other people and have everyone feeling equally cared for. Threesomes are often a recipe for disaster. My first marriage ended because my wifes buddy liked sleepinig with me so much and me her that I left my wife for her. There was a lot of pain all round. The ironic thing was, I was resistant to having a threesome because I was worried about jealousy. I kept saying it would hurt me to see her with someone else.\nEverytime since that she has brought up how cruel I was to leave her for her friend, I just say you set us up.

No, not in most cases, and not in most cases.\n\nI'm bi, and like many of my bi siblings, I'm monogamous.  What's greedy about that?

I've had a lot of sex.  I mean a LOT of sex.  With a lot of people.  Some at the same time.  Some of them were girls, some were guys.  And as happy as I might be about them, I don't see a bisexual "I love sex" slate being very sucessful.

It just IS. Why look for value judgements about a fact of life? It may be easier to be bisexual in some places now than in almost all places in the historical past. But one doesn't choose to be bisexual, or gay, or heterosexual, for that matter. The way you treat the ones you love - or even the ones you just have sex with - is what matters. Live your life the best way you know how. That'll be good enough.

There are a LOT of happy monogamous bisexuals, believe me.  I generally notice that most of them are the so-called 'established' bisexuals- ones who have known their sexual orientation for a long time and come to terms with it.  It seems that most people grappling with bicurious/bisexual feelings start to think that they should have the 'best of both worlds', not realizing that bisexuality does not equal polyamory.\n\nI agree with you that it's a tired old excuse to say that people who want relationships with both men and women simultaneously do it because they are bi.  I hate that excuse, and the negative stereotypes it furthers.  I still feel that monogamy is the best expression of love between two individuals, and I, a bisexual female, will almost without a doubt be monogamous in my future.\n\nHowever, even though they aren't for me (or most people), polyamorous relationships can be and are, indeed, loving.  That was the only thing that irked me about your post- for some, it's not 'passing it off as love'- there is true, deep genuine devotion betwen two, three, or however many other indivuals are involved in the relationship.  Loyalty has little to do with it, since polyamory isn't cheating (it always must be okayed with everyone involved).  A lot of people do cheat and call it polyamory, but that's not right.\n\nAll in all, just know that you aren't alone.  Long live bisexual monogamists!

no, not at all.  it's perfectly normal and natural.  in fact, some studies show that most people are bisexual to some extent, and only very few are either entirely gay or entirely straight all their lives.  (this includes actions and fantasies.)

almost everyone is bisexual in nature, whether it's 50%straight-50%gay, 90%straight-10%gay, 95%gay-5%straight, 99%straight-1%gay or 80%gay-20%straight.   it can be any combination of numbers.

I'm bisexual so I know exactly how you feel...\n\nIf you tell a straight girl you're bi, from then on they think you're hitting on them everytime you touch them.\n\nIf you tell a straight guy you're bi all they will talk to you about is threesomes.\n\nI've had gay/lesbians not want associate with me anymore because I wasn't queer enough.\n\nThen you have your idiots who think all bis are sluts.\n\nI know who I am and I know what I am.  When you fall in love with someone you fall in love with their heart, not what they're packing.  \n\nI'm not bi because it's "cool", I'm not bi because I'm desperate for a date, I'm bi because I don't want to discriminate love.\n\n**Mr. Successful is the perfect example as to why bisexuals are so misunderstood.  Close minded, ignorant people that have no idea what is actually going on.  They have no respect for others feelings; the perfect example of a poor human being.**

Being Bisexual means that you are attracted sexually to men AND women.\nIf you are male and are sexually attracted to males then you are Gay.\nIf you are a female and sexually attracted to females then you are a Lesbian.\nThere is nothing wrong with any of these orientations, explore your feelings.

People consider themselves bisexual because they are sexually attracted to partners of either sex. They date whomever they feel more compatible with at the time.

It means you're attracted to people of both genders, physically and emotionally. You may prefer one gender, or be completely balanced. Some people who think of themselves as bisexual will not act on their feelings, due to relationship commitments, or religious/moral/cultural beliefs, but will acknowledge them.\n\nSome people think most humans are actually bisexual to some degree, and certainly many people who identify as straight or gay have had at least *some* experience with both genders. Being bi does *not* mean you're undecided, although it's often something you hear or read. Sadly, being bi often means that you feel both the straight and gay communities object to you.\n\nYou can be bisexual and in a relationship, monogamous or open. I think one of the most important things is to be open with a partner about your feelings, but it can be hard.\n\nGood luck!
