Straight female, 30. Wouldn’t be a problem, as long as he stuck to whatever hypothetical agreement we made regarding relationship boundaries.
As much as I would want to say yes, my instinct is no. I’m fully aware that it’s my own issue.
I’d date a bi girl so long as I was the only man in her life and her relationship with any women she might be with while dating me wasn’t one of love.
38, straight female. Monogamy is more important to me than sexual identity, so I’d be fine with a hetero or bi guy.
I remember arguing this question in high school sex ed - everyone in the class except me and a couple of my friends said they’d dump a partner who came out to them as bi. We argued back that bisexual doesn’t necessarily mean non-monogamous, but the others couldn’t seem to get that through their little brains.
23 female, bi. I’m fine with bisexual males and females. I’ve actually had this arguement with a family memeber who said I would be insane to date a bi male, but everyone’s eye strays. If he takes a long look at guys and girls, is it somehow worse than just looking at girls?
52, male, pansexual. I’ve dated gay males, straight females, bisexuals(male and female) and transsexuals(male to female and female to male), and am currently married to a straight female.
This is not true and kind of offensive.
The inclination to cheat is down to the individual, as is the % of the population that any one person finds attractive.
Personally I don’t find many people hugely fanciable. Now I’m dating someone my inclination to fantasise about Gael Garcia Bernal or Angelina Jolie or whoever is virtually nil. I suppose it might wear off.
In answer to the OP: yes, and I am bisexual myself, so I’d be a hypocrite to say anything different.
Sorry but I’m not sure what you’re arguing. Numerically there are more women than gay/bisexual men- that’s a statement of fact and not conjecture.
Yeah… but… I don’t think most people lose all desire for other sex partners forever during a relationship.
45 Male, straight-ish. No problem with it.
They’re saying that it doesn’t matter if there are more gay people or straight people or transsexual goats. :rolleyes: What matters is how monogamous your partner is to you. Just because there are more people they could conceivably hook up with, were they not in a relationship with you, does not mean that 1) they will be any more tempted to cheat on you or 2) they would be attracted to any of those people to begin with.
Bisexual isn’t the same as promiscuous.
23 y.o. straight male
I’d be 100% fine with it. It means we have something in common.
Exactly. If you live in a town with five banks rather than just one bank, are you going to be more tempted to rob a bank? If the answer is yes, you should probably avoid banks altogether…
Sure, can’t even imagine it being an issue.
Male and 20.
Well, the teller would be less likely to recognize me when I stopped by to make a deposit later…
But yeah, if you can’t trust your partner, you can’t trust your partner. This has nothing to do with what they happen to be attracted to. When I promise (explicitly or implicitly) to be faithful to a partner, I’m not silently adding the rider, “… unless I run into somebody hotter.” That would be dishonest, disrespectful, and cruel to my partner, and it’s kind of offensive to be told I’m twice as likely to be dishonest, disrespectful, and cruel just because I don’t really care whether the uglies I bump with are ‘innies’ or ‘outies.’
It was one of the more positive aspects of my relationship with a former girlfriend. We eventually broke up, but over things that had nothing to do wtih her bisexuality.
Frankly I wouldn’t mind it if my wife developed feelings that way, but it doens’t look like that will happen.
Middle aged male.
No way in the world.
Yes, as long as she’s willing to share.
Serious answer: Probably.
Though I’ve never had to face the issue IRL, I like to believe I’d see it as a non-issue, provided she was exclusive to me at the time. Hell, I might even find it a bit of a turn-on.
(45, straight male, married to straight female.)
Time for someone to fight my ignorance.
What the heck does pansexual mean with regards to orientation? Is it different from bisexual? I’m stumped.
44, straight, male. I’d like to think I’d have no issues with marrying a bisexual, but as Mrs. Wargamer is straight as they come I didn’t have to deal with that issue. But the thought doesn’t skeeve me out.
28, male, straight, currently doing so. It wasn’t even something I thought twice about. Exclusive is exclusive, regardless of gender. We do have occasional jokes about threesomes with women she’s attracted to, which doesn’t hurt, either.
I’m bisexual and prefer to date other bisexuals, though it doesn’t happen often. If nothing else, they know better than to make stupid jokes (or serious inquiries, which is as stupid a thing to do with me as making the jokes is) about threesomes, which most heterosexual men can’t seem to resist. I’m thirty and female.
