It seemed inevitable didn't it.

The easy ones out of the way first:
Yes we exist
no we aren't all sluts

Any other questions from my good friends at NSG?

Why do some people think anyone would need to ask questions about the nature of bisexuality? Can't interested parties figure out the basics on their own?

Does bisexuality mean you ONLY fall for men and women, or can you fancy people without or with both sets of genitalia as well ?

I'm providing a reference for those not currently attending band camp.

If your parents were both bisexual then is it still called a coming-out when you have to confess you’re asexual?

It's sufficient, but not necessary. While it's something I think I could cope with, many bisexuals I know would be... (what's a nice way to say this...?) Unattracted to such a person. Some Bisexuals don't really care about gender, others find beauty in both specific genders.

Bah. Theres no such thing as homo/hetero/bi-sexuality. Just different positions on the Kinsey scale.

Yeah, and one side of the scale has no desire to be with the same sex while the other side of the scale has no desire to be with the opposite sex. And in the middle is a wide gulf we call "bisexual."

It's much easier to discuss being bisexual then saying, for instance, I'm a 4.5
(or whatever the Kinsey scale is measured on.)

Well, here's a question- my wife is bisexual, in that she has had sex with both men and women (in more or less equal numbers). However, she's never had any real interest in actual romantic relationships with women. All of her serious relationships have been with men.

Is this a typical or common approach for bisexuals, in your experience?

As a male bisexual it is that way for me. I lust for men and women but only seem to form a romantic bond with women.

Also, GAC - some of us are sluts :p

many (maybe even most) bisexuals lean one way or the other. I lean toward women (though not to an extent that makes a romantic relationship with a man an impossibility). I have a female bisexual friend who leans toward men, despite frequently fantasizing about sex with other women. And I know a few others who have no such leanings, and have serious relationships with both men and women.

Ah, good then. I've had people argue with me when I say I'm bisexual, because I've never actually had a romantic relationship with a woman and I am most often attracted to men. I have, however, fooled around with women and quite enjoyed it, and I do find myself attracted to women. I lean more towards men, and I am married to a man.

At what point do you think leaning towards one or the other makes you either straight or gay, instead of bisexual. Or do you have to be truly exclusively attracted to one gender to be gay or straight? Or do you just leave it up to the person to self-identify and go with that?

I don't have any questions on bisexuality but have always wondered how the hell you pronounce Fnord?

Thread re-opened as promised and (hopefully) bumped, Glorious. Sorry you had to wait till I woke up again, but that's the way it goes on GMT+10.

Trilby, quit with the trivia.

I'm not much one to dictate people's sexuality to them, but I'd say you start being just gay or straight when you simply have no attraction or sexual interest in one of the genders.

GAC,

What are the names of all the positions of MMF and FFM threesomes that you know of? Please include a brief description of each.
