Can a bisexual be entirely satisfied in a monogamous relationship?

[Ambivalid]

This may be quite a controversial statement but I do not believe TRUE bisexuality exists. Not true bisexuality. “Bisexual” men are really gay men who are at some stage of self-acceptace with their sexuality. “Bisexual” women are a bit more complex. Women can love another woman’s beauty, appreciate it in ways another man can never comprehend. There are attractions there, but it’s not the basis of their sexuality. They can see another woman for the woman she is from a woman’s eye (if that convoluted thought made any sense). But they still have primal urges for male courtship. This is absent in the lesbian. The lesbian has the primal urge for fellow female courtship. IDK, given the right amount of time and space, I could arrange these thoughts in a more cohesive, well thought out manner, as it is this post is awfully scattered. So Im pretty sure it will be picked apart mercilessly. But hey, that’s why I joined this place.

And why would you believe that?

Its nothing more than my ignorant pov, that’s all. Sock it to me.

A fair number of the bisexuals of my acquaintance don’t consider gender to be a particularly important factor in whether or not they form relationships.

Once at B&N I saw a magazine on the rack titled Anything That Moves: The Magazine for the Free-Range Bisexual. Cover B&W photo showed a couple sitting affectionately on a park bench, shot from behind, loose clothes, genders of subject imponderable. Don’t know if it lasted.

So how are there not bisexual women? You seem to be distinguishing them from both gay and straight ones. I think.

Not quite a park bench, and not B&W, but what was presumably that cover can be found here.

Not quite a park bench, and not B&W, but is this the one?

Might have been. Long time gone. I see that ish is from 1998, back when there were bisexuals.

So what led you to believe this?

No, I, ermm, converted them. :o

All of them.

One at a time.

Some one way, some another. Sometimes I flipped a coin first.

It was a period of my life on which I prefer not to dwell.

Well, that’s why trophy bisexuals always come in pairs.

You need a shag carpet to go along with that fireplace.

To the OP: Yes, I think so. Although, truth be told, I find myself sliding towards the straight end of the scale as I get older, which is weird to me. When I started my relationship with my now-wife, I felt myself fully in the middle. Nowadays, I can only really feel a yearning for Johnny Depp, John Barrowman and the Nu-Who Doctors
jamiemcgarry, might I just digress and say it’s nice that you’re sticking around and also participating in more than one-issue threads. Welcome! You’re wrong, I speak from experience, but there’s no crime in not having experience.

No offense intended, honest, but that’s the biggest steaming load of horse crap I’ve ever read.

I’m trying to formulate a tactful way of saying you’re full of shit, but I can’t. My partner is bisexual, and we’ve been happily monogamous for over 23 years. He happens to be the most evolved person I know, and he’s not at all lacking in “self-acceptance.”

I’m what I consider mostly straight, while batting for the home team as a hobby. I think this sums it up for me.

Anne Heche’s problem isn’t that she’s bisexual but that she’s generally a half bubble off plumb. You know what they say: don’t stick your strap-on into crazy.

And jamie. while I understand that many gay men do experiment with heterosexual sex while they’re coming to terms with their sexuality, very few people would consider them “bisexual” during this phase. Usually it’s more “confused” or “figuring things out”. And either they get over it quickly and accept their orientation or they become Youth Pastors.
