What do you wish society was more accepting of?

The hypocrisy with regard to male bisexuality is absurd

By who though? General public? Or within the gay community?

Re: intolerance of bi men

The hypocrisy with regard to male bisexuality is absurd

I'm curious, and would like to hear more. In my own experience (as one who identified as bi, back then, and pan, now), this seems to me almost a non-issue compared to 25 years ago.

Please understand, this is a sincere question. I readily acknowledge that most of my social activity these days is through the Internet— and with closeted bi men who are desperate to experience male contact — so very likely I'm not seeing the whole picture.

It's funny. I don't feel gay or even bi. But I have sucked several cream pies out of vaginas

I guess for myself, I’m very much into sexual enjoyment with my marriage sex life, new things, etc. it’s all about feeling good, satisfaction, pleasure. I love my wife but also like to have fun. With my job, my life, my friends, even I suppose social media, if anyone would know of my intermittent bisexual urges, I would be shamed, embarrassed, and ostracized based on their opinions and feelings. And I suppose for conversion, I’m about as masculine as they come, no pun intended. I just get curious. And, pardon the expression, I’m scared shitless if anyone were to find out. Am I out in left field about this?

Define open sexuality

being able to express how you feel without being considered a pervert, or deviant, or just weird and kinky

yes, acting on some of those feelings might be a problem,

I share your sentiment. With openess, certain moral dilemmas would arise.

People.

Most societies have and encourage us to have many insecurities, fear and neurotic thoughts about one another. It would be nice to live in a society without the fear based control issues and rigid social standards.

I've been with many women. My first time was with a women. But I don't consider myself bi, and when I say so, people accept it. No questions asked. But a man kisses another man on the cheek and people(including my husband) say he's gay or bi.

That's interesting or funny or sad... You decide

Skimpy clothing on men. I wear very small clothes, all the way down to just a thong, in public where at all possible, but I'm a bit different!
Even when I do, it's not as accepted as it would be on a woman. We expect women to show a little butt cheek in shorts, but certainly not a man!

Sad. Definitely sad.

 

[MaturemanAJ]

Nudity would be my number one. But with that said and knowing what pigs people are I am afraid that fantasy would turn to disgust quickly

Women's bare nipples

Women's bare nipples

Here's a thought: it seems like making something taboo— whether it's a body part, a behavior, or whatever— results in that thing being hidden (behind clothing, behind closed doors, behind the rule of silence, whatever). And hiding it in turn intensifies its taboo-ness. Spiraling upward, even so far as to evoke the death penalty, in some cases and some places.

 

[Erosfan]

Candualism for women.
I wish women could show their men off, just like men show their women off. This would have to be in controlled situations. No minors or people that could be offended.
Why can't women play with their men in situations where others might enjoy the show. It doesn't have to be a CFNM party. How about in a bar/club where one woman wants to show a couple of her friends that she can do anything she wants with or to her man and he will not attempt to stop her. If men can get their women to spread their legs or show their tits to strangers, why can't women enjoy the same sort of things with their men?

 

[Not Normal]

There are so many things that could go in this thread.

I wish empathy would be thought of as a positive thing. The same for inclusion and diversity.

For a more LIT answer
Polyamory, Ethical Non Monagmy, open relationships, etc. There are some that know I have a wife and a girlfriend (though I hate that term it's a good shortcut), but that group is only close trusted friends.

Sadly cops are trained to shoot anything they don't understand. ND people are no exception.

As far as in general society, yes, if we tried to understand one another just a smidgen more, we'd be much happier and more effective at living

funny thing is you libbies are always calling the cops, lil snitches

Body diversity. As an example the pornification of the male anatomy (always 7"+, hard on demand, never mind that porn actors are basically all 5' to exaggerate sizes on top of that) has made it all but certain that a ton of boys walk around deeply insecure about the natural behaviors of their anatomy (yes, you might go through several states of erection during sex and no, that doesn't mean you are less of a man or that she's more or less hot to you).

We can't realistically fight porn (basically 2nd amendment struggle at this point if you were so inclined) but we can normalize the kinds of bodies at play, thick or thin, tall or short, abled in any and all ways. I hate to be HEY YO MR DIVERSITY here but I'm so fucking bored with the idea of normalizing and productizing human beings. It's like all everybody's supposed to eat is Robot McDonalds or something.

As a small penis man I endorse this.

Female promiscuity. It’s an ancient double standard that just won’t quit.

Some men enjoy sex with multiple partners. Guess what? So do some women. Even worse is when a man you’ve slept with gets all huffy and tries to slut-shame you when he discovers that you were being serious about not being serious.

 

[Japansurfer]

wish we could be more open about our desires for sex. Why not be able to just say to someone you are beautiful and it would be great if we could find a room.

I love the natural world where if a female/male are looking for a partner they openly advertise - why can’t we do that as a humans. Imagine having a virtual sign accross your shoulders - available/unavailable, looking for quick orgasm, need a long term partner etc etc

 

[LMWM321]

I believe that as people live longer, there needs to be greater tolerance of a spouse or longterm partner pursuing occasional sex outside of the relationship, especially if there is a wide desire discrepancy. For some people, having regular sex, even late in life, is essential to their happiness and well-being and they shouldn't be expected to go without it because their partner no longer or seldom desires it. I believe this even though I am in a 30+ year marriage and have never had, nor intend to have, an affair myself.

Also, I believe in legalizing, normalizing and destigmatizing sex work. There are countless people who are stuck in sexless relationships or are unable to find an intimacy partner - including many who struggle with serious health issues or disabilities. Legalizing sex work could make their lives more bearable. And if it is legal and socially acceptable to monetize ones talent for brutality in sports, it should likewise be acceptable to monetize ones talent for giving sexual pleasure. Prohibiting consenting adults from either selling or paying for sexual pleasure is an unjustifiable infringement upon personal freedom.

 

[Grey Shadow]

Nudity is number one. Especially of non "ideal" people. I sick of "its obscene unless it makes money" being the actual standard.
Trans and gay folks are a close second.
