I’m bisexual, I’ve known that since I was 15. Half my serious relationships have been with men, half with women. Generally, I’m toward the asexual end of the spectrum. I’m in a committed long-term asexual lesbian relationship right now.
I’m in a somewhat conservative part of the country and in a conservative industry. It makes it tough, honestly. On top of that, my relationship is just weird - people who work hard to be open and wrap their heads around homosexuality and bisexuality still get a little cross-eyed when you throw asexuality into the mix. Plus, with my general oddness anyway, I think people tend to throw their hands up and say, “Rhubot’s just Rhubot, no point in trying to understand.”
I know it adds to my self-stigmatization. I feel the same way a lot of the time - no point in trying to be understood, no one is interested in what I think, no point in trying to participate. I don’t really know what to do about that. I know I need to work at it.
Idk i guess im bi but i lean more towards liking women. If its the right guy sure but thats extremely rare. I just say i have a very open mind and leave the labels to the birds. Lately i havent even thought about sex or anybody really. Just been doing my own thing. Though i do have an arranged marraige with Ally and Mary which i need to divorce cause it doesn’t help the pain only numbs it.
(Later edit)
Fine im coming out that im bi. Makes it easier and less complicated that way. And i find sexual orientation stigma these days much easier to deal with (everyone being all politically correct and “progressive”). Like id say im bi before im schizoaffective
You guys have me laughing at all your responses to daydreamer. I find it hard to be accepted down here in the south because either people are not accepting of you or if they are “accepting,” they don’t look at you as a true bi because I am a woman and it has become a thing to be bi if you are female. I’ve dated women that I later found out were using me to look “hot” to guys. It’s annoying. And when I tell other straight women that I am bi, they immediately assume that I am looking at them sexually and often act all freaked out. I have a fear of telling men that I’m bi because so many of them take it that I’m telling them because I’m interested in them and want them to think I’m “hot.”
Then you have your bible thumping homophobes that bash you. I was sick and had nowhere to go and was staying with this one lady that was like that and she kept telling me I was a sinner and that one is not born gay or bi, that it’s either a choice or something that you’ve been brainwashed into being. I was delusional and got convinced and scared that I had been brainwashed all my life into being bi. I had never had a problem with being open about my sexual identity before I met this woman. I’m so glad I got away from her. She really did a number on my head before I was medicated and diagnosed.
Lesbian, i am lucky to live in a good part of the country inland northwest and Seattle so no one makes a thing about, not like i throw it around or do things to show it, is not a big deal. guess the most gay thing is i wear faerie wings alot that’s to down to thinking i am a faerie not being a lesbian. still looking for a good owner
Holds up sign one a bit used faerie for sale! (thats a joke for those that not seen my humor)
It depends on where you’re at. I live in New Orleans and I still find it hard to be accepted as bi here. It feels like it might be easier if I was gay because I feel like lesbians don’t believe me and ostracize me when I try to hit on them. Gay guys are pretty accepting of me though. There are many religious people down here that are all very stuck in their traditional ways of thinking and I get treated differently by them anyways with my tattoos and piercings. I can’t imagine if they saw me walking down the street hand in hand with another girl.
I wasn’t going to say anything. I actually hate confrontation, but omg @daydreamer, you can’t possibly think that you represent “most people”? Just because your mind jumps into bed upon any mention of sexual orientation does not mean that most people do the same. And, while I respect, to a point, whatever religious conviction you’re drawing from, I believe it’s important to make the distinction between your personal beliefs and concrete definitions of right or wrong.
My son always had crushes on girls when he was little, but was never a typical boy. After high school he told me that he’s bi. Then, he told me that he definitely prefers men, so he’s gay. To me, he’s my son, and a beautiful soul no matter who he decides to be with to have companionship. I respect your situation as I understand it because aside from whomever we’re physically involved with our hearts and souls just want love. If you have found love then you have found what matters most. ️
I used to powersmoke the ganja and have body buzz sex. Loved it. You’ll never know what may come next in life. I see people who come out as risk takers and people who want to express themselves. I hope that you all find the person that makes you happy, and that you don’t have your loving urges denied.
We’ve got your back here you know? I admire you a lot rhubes, I’ve told you this already. You’re an amazing strong woman who doesn’t take crap from anyone and choses to live the life she wants. Against all odds you always pull through…
