I mean, sometimes it sounds like, hmmm, it would be kinda fun to be bi and swing both ways. It would be kind of exciting, I guess, just for the sake of it being different. But when I actually think about being with another girl, quite frankly, it bores me. And I have a hard time imagining it-it doesn’t come naturally to me. ---

> [@Pride of the Peaches](#): > > \my dating pool would open up a little. Actually, it doesn’t, because for every person you’d find who’d be willing to date someone who’s bisexual, you’d lose at least two or three who will only date someone who’s straight. I know, men always _say_ they’re turned on by the idea of a bisexual woman. However, the reality of a woman who’s into other women, too, and not as a sexual aid for her boyfriend, often makes them turn tail and run. And I don’t even want to start thinking about the attitude of most lesbians I’ve met towards bisexuality. It just depresses me. ---

Um…that said, no, I wouldn’t want to change my sexuality. It’s part of who I am, and I can’t really imagine wanting to eliminate that part of my psyche for the sake of novelty. ---

I used to wish I were either gay or straight. Being bi was too confusing. I spent most of my early twenties unable to decide if I was unsuccesful with women because I was really gay, or if I was only having gay fantasies because I was so desperate from always being unsuccesful with women. Then I stopped caring, and things improved all around. ---

I’d love to be gay for certain celebrities. Angelina Jolie… mmmmmmm. 😉 Having said that, I’m pretty comfortable being straight. Props to all gay, bi, and straight people out there! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-wanted-to-be-of-a-different-sexuality/270452.md?page=1)
