Is it suddenly trendy to become bi sexual?

[Guest]

Something I have noticed lately. Announcements of female sexual orientation.

I am a bi sexual female hear me meow

Are these people really bi sexual or is it just another bid for drama and attention?

Trendy? I have been bisexual all my life. That's nearly 25 years so far. I was attracted to females sexually before males. My first experiece with another female happened in my early childhood. And, from the age of 19 on I have been more "active" (not the best word, really, but I don't know what else to call it). And, I for one do not flirt heavily with women at Lit (or anywhere). I am too worried about offending a straight woman, that I try to steer from flirting.

I think anything anyone does is a bid for attention. This thread included. Awwww look at that the poor little unregistered wants attention. :ats unregistered head and rubs it’s belly:: that’s a good unregistered yes you are you little thing you.

I’m a Tri-sexual she-male. If it’s Sexual I’ll try it.

It may be trendy to a certain degree.

Perhaps, the trend isn't towards being bisexual, rather having a forum in which you can be openly bisexual may give way to the trend of stating it loud and clear.

Certainly, the real trend is toward compartmentalizing our sexuality. Every taste, need, sexual descriptor has a little check box next to it. Everyone has a little box they almost fit into, heed "almost."

"I am Susie and I am a SWF, bi curious, sub."

I see. Well, I haven't been coming back to Lit as much now that I discovered Pixies. Tonight I felt "what the hell?" So, I'm not updated on about half of the people posting here or what the new "fights" are.

It seems like the idea is being considered more by many people.

It doesn't seem so odd nowadays. It's not a big leap from saying I'm attracted to women, to saying I'm bi, or I'm bi-curious.

I can't see how that's a big attention getter, especially around here.

I couldn't imagine wearing my sexuality like a badge. How boring is that? It's constantly changing and growing in ways I never could have imagined.

I don't think being bi is trendy. It is places like Lit etc let women talk about it more freely.

So many things are just talked about more these days. Also 10 years ago it was that you were, gay, lesbian or straight. Now it's okay to say you are bi......

 

[JUDO]

???

Trendy? Hmmm... I can't decide.

Hell, even 10 years ago I was openly bi. That was the year I came out to friends even. (I didn't come out to my family until I was about 19.)

Maybe it depends what circles you mix in and your age.

I'm 38 and I've always known I would prefer to have my life partner a man, but I knew that I was attracted to women also. When I was a teenager (1970's) being attracted beyond the opposite sex from yourself was not discussed really. You knew it was going on, but something that was not openly discussed.

Then when I meet my husband at 23 I told him within the first 6 months of us being together that I liked woman too and he was cool with that. But I was not looking to go out and play the woman field while we were together.

So after we got married I felt it was not right for me to go telling eveyone I was bi because sometimes people has that silly thought that because you like women and men, that you have to play with both all the time.

Now after my SO and I have been together 16 years, he is happy for me to find a lady online or otherwise to share sensual time with. But I'm not the hit and run type of gal, so I'm still looking for a Lady I can share some time with in the RL as a semi regular thing, who may be married also and who doesn't want to go club hopping looking for someone different every second week.

So I depend what era you were a teenager to what you feel free to tell that world about

confused... watch next week, lol

FYI, in 1992 I was 15...when I came out to closer friends (who, to the best of my current knowledge are all straight). 1996 when I told my mother, and then a few other family members.

Suddenly I am a troll? Fuck me I hope I ain't an ugly one. Who said this thread is about you?

 

[scylis]

they're making us wear badges declairing our sexuality?

OH SHIT!!!!

*runs very far away very fast before they pin a giant "Virgin" sign to me and the women here gang up and "corupt" me until my heart explodes*

 

[Siren]

I guess you call me a trend setter then

I was 15 in 1978. I knew I liked women then, but where I was, it was not talked about for sure. I'm sure if I had told my female friends back then they would have run a mile

 

[Siren]

And just think ..........

 

[scylis]

for a camel and a cigarette? wouldn't it just be easier to ride the camel into town to the whore house?

I think that you are mistaken if you believe that many people will willingly apply to themselves a label that still carries a social stigma in most circles, just to get attention.
I have only recently gotten to the point in my own life where I apply the label bisexual to myself without enormous feelings of guilt and self loathing.Some one who has not undergone the experience of coming to terms with a repressed part of their sexuality may not understand that acceptance can be a gradual process.
So here I am, mid-thirties, and "newly" bisexual. But as I reflect on earlier events in my life I recognize that many times I misinterpreted my own felings about other women, or erotically charged situations, in order to avoid coming face to face with what was inside me.
To an outsider, it may look like a sudden conversion, but it was in fact, a long process of growth and self-discovery.

I agree. I think also that the nature of Lit. makes it likely that the percentage of people posting here who are erotic explorers is much greater than in the general public.

Sexual orientation is an interesting thing and I do think that some in todays world find it trendy,However I bet its only accepted as trendy if your female.

I prefer to take them at their word. Some say they are interested, but have never actually had a bi experience. I don't see anything wrong with people posting that info. They may actually find someone here willing to help them HAVE that experience!

I do find that I end up posting every now and then that I am NOT bi and just not interested in women. I think that may be a reaction to all the bi posts, but I'm not sure. Usually someone answers with something like "we know that already, Chey!"
