Does one fear bisexuality?
What is the difference between a bisexual male and female and why does the female get less prejudice?
The female is usually a liberally sexual confidant eager to share her desires with women as well as men and makes no allowances for it. While the man is thought to be a confused player that can't be fully trusted nor satisfied. These assumptions run rampid amongst people who choose to believe that it is just a phase they are going through and not a position of sexual moderatism
Ironically, when it comes to misconceptions amongst bisexuals, the men are easily seen as hosts of mistrust and the women, objects of every man's fantasy. Which makes them more readily accepted than men. Why is it women are so often reduced to sex? Why is the bisexual man seen as having an insatiable sexual appetite?
Thoughts on bisexuality
- I don't think that most women are threatened that their husband/boyfriend is bisexual because of prejudice; I think it is more along the lines of fearing that their man is revealing that he is attracted to a man and women don't have male parts. When you are competing with someone that you are not anatomically equal with it is hard to not feel that your man is going to decide he would rather be with a guy and have a different sort of sex life.
- I think bisexuality is harder for men than for women. Straight men get turned on by bisexual women and so it is something that is encouraged in our society. You will rarely meet a guy who is upset over his girlfriend's bisexuality. They usually love it! For bisexual men, it's harder, because straight women are not turned on by the fact that their man is [expletive] other guys. They feel threatened by it. And since society wants men to be either one thing or the other—either totally straight or totally gay, bisexual men have a hard time fitting in.
- I think there are two types of bisexuals:
1- First type are people who can fall in love with either gender but don't need both genders at the same time. So if that person is in a relationship with a man, they don't need to have sex with women. And if they are in a relationship with a woman, they don't need a man. They are perfectly content with the partner they are with. In my experience, they can be as faithful as anyone else.
2- The second type of bisexuals are the ones known for being unfaithful. They have a hard time sexually committing to one gender. So if they are in a relationship with a man, they also need to have sex with women on the side. And if they are in a relationship with a woman, they also need men on the side. I think people fear those bisexuals because they feel that they can only give them half of what they need.
- Not all women would turn down a bisexual man. In fact, I would prefer to be with a bisexual man because as a bisexual myself, I feel that a lot of bisexuals are more enlightened about themselves and their sexuality, since I believe that it is the person and not the gender that is important. I think almost everyone is bisexual if they would open their minds to the conception.
