How many people are 'out' on this board?

[levidebacker]

hey folks,
it seems to be there are a whole bunch of bisexuals on this board, and i'm wondering how many are out to friends and family, men and women. Nothing against you if you are or are not, but was just wondering. i'm an out bisexual myself, and enjoy that role. it's easier to meet others with similar interests.
any way, just curious.

for any on the fencers out there, read
bisexual politics:theories, queries and visions,
and the anthology: Bi Any Other Name
also anything to do with Carol Queen is amazing.

I've never really thought one's sexual orientation was that big of a deal, and I've never felt the need to hide the fact that I'm attracted to both sexes. In response to your question, I guess yes, I would be considered out.

 

[Riley_James]

I've been out to my family for about 10 years. There were some negative reactions at first, but most have discovered that nothing about me changed when they found out...only what they knew about me.

Still very curious and waiting or trying at least for that first exp. Want to suck my first cock with a woman watching. I am not willing to tell anyone I know yet.

I'm out to friends and my two (grown) kids (in NZ). I'm NOT out to my mother, brother, ex husband or any of his family. Luckily those people live in New Zealand and I live in Australia now

Yes, It's in my signature.
While I don't broadcast it (well maybe I do) I do wear a cocoa-wood necklace with subtle rainbow beads intermixed. So if you are close enough to see that, then you can pretty much figure it out.
I was closeted for most my life, and it feels wonderful and liberated to just let people know in a subtle way.

Hmmm, well, a few people know my preference for sissy men, but those are almost all the sissies themselves. A couple girlfriends know. My daughters know about my sissy lovers and have been great about treating them sweetly when they are dressed.

I've not told anyone outside of these boards about my desires to experiment with a lesbian.

I recently told my wife that I used to LOVE sucking my very best friends very big cock when we were both in high school and that I sucked him off daily for about two years until we graduated, but I haven't told her that I still love sucking cock and eating cum. I've written extensively about my oral addiction on forums like Literotica, but I've never admitted this to anyone I know with the exception of the guys to whom I've given blowjobs, so I guess I'm halfway "out".

 

[johnnyfm78]

I keep my sexual preferences private. As far as I'm concerned, it is not really anyone's business. My wife and I are completely monogamous, but she's had plenty of bi encounters herself before we got married. She knows all about my bi side. I would guess that several of the guys I've hooked up with know too!

I'm from a hyper-religious family. My brother, I'm semi-out to. I actually had an interesting time with my mom on this issue. She moved in with me and I kept dropping hints..she figured it out and let me know in a hilarious way.

She's into Supernatural and is a "Dean girl," hence she's always drooling over him. Anyway, a friend of hers in England may come to visit and they keep teasing each other about finding cowboys. We were in the car when Mom was telling us and I made a face..Mom went.."ok, we'll find you a cowgirl." I nearly swerved off the road!

Too funny!

As far as my dad..I won't until after my grandfather passes. Pawpaw has been nothing but good to me and this type of news, the shock of it would kill him and I KNOW my dad will tell him if I come out to him.

There is a lot of problems really with a bisexual finding acceptance.
Gay's often don't consider a bi relevant and straights consider a bi gay.
As an example, gay's go after marriage,which is often an issue irrelevant to a bisexual.
There are just so many issues with gays and bisexuals that don't seem to ever cross.
Fence sitters face so very many problems.
That is why it is so difficult for the bisexual to 'come out'.

Having said that, I've told so many people I'm bisexual it's not funny, but why
tell the insurance broker, even if I had one?

 

[Programmer Cat]

I'm partially out. My wife knows, and so do the people we play with. I haven't told anybody else, and don't intend to. I don't need them to know.

 

[CNYCarol]

It amazes me just how hypocritical most people are.

I've been out for years, I just don't have "Local Neighbor Dyke" painted on my mailbox yet.

I recently told my sister and her husband along with my neice, that I'm gay. Per my sister "Thats just sick" and my neice freaked out.
.
I'm a bit nervous about my mom coming down in November, with her girlfriend.

...and these were people that claimed they were "Live and Let Live"?

 

[underguy1]

I'm out to a few of my friends and my 2 sisters but generally I don't advertise that I'm bi. I do like to get away to different destinations and be out though. I love being openly with another man in public I must say.
