I think maybe a misconception about bisexuals is that we cannot be friends with the same sex without being sexually attracted to them. Just like I wouldn't be sexually attracted to every male on the street; neither would I be to every female, but I relate on an emotional level especially with women. And I can relate to straight men in ways other women probably can't due to the fact that I appreciate the same things they do. I also know exactly what it feels like to be gay, as well as I know what it feels like to be straight. Compare it to a friendship of a straight male and female. Can a man and woman be friends without sexual attraction? Of course! I have lots of platonic relations...

Is there some kinda private message feature on here because this might get a little personal. *fanning face*

What puts you in the mood for either sex? What do you like about women? I think some women are attractive but can't imagine being with one sexually or romantically...all that talking and asking if their butt looks fat in their pants. Ugh. LOL (I'm generalizing for comedy's sake)

This article you linked to is pretty interesting. If someone rejects a label, does it mean the label doesn't fit or that person just doesn't want to be labeled??? My guess is that it's about not wanting to be defined by other people.

As the blog entry says, it's now time for me to describe an experience where I was asked out for senior high prom by a woman (still don't know if she's a lesbian).

What do I like about women? Everything!!! The softness, the tenderness, the beauty; but while it may be the first thing I notice, that's not the most important thing. I like the fact that they listen and understand. I like the deeper connection.

I think some women are attractive but can't imagine being with one sexually or romantically...

I know what you are speaking of. One of my best friends who is straight was talking to me one night and was very upset because she enjoyed watching the L word. She was worried she might be bisexual. So I asked her while watching the lovemaking scenes between two women if it made her really, really hot. And she said, "No, ...

So I asked her while watching the lovemaking scenes between two women if it made her really, really hot. And she said, "No, I just like the storyline really, it's a good show!" I said well you definitely are NOT bisexual then just because you like the L word girl! The physical tension in her body was incredible and she seemed so relieved! Poor thing.

On the other hand, I've always had crushes on boys since I was little and wanted a "boyfriend". I like the muscular male body. I like the way they react to me in and out of bed.

I would guess that the rejection of a label such as bisexual probably means it's not a good fit for that person. I embrace that label because I know I'm attracted to both men and women sexually and emotionally. No doubt about it. But sometimes I feel that all the focus is on sex and not the deep romantic feelings you can have for that person whatever gender.

Ah, I see now. I agree that when this subject comes up, people focus more on the sex/sexual attraction part of it - and not who someone is emotionally attracted to.

What if you could get a blend of what you like most? A muscular male body attached to a man who's soft, tender, and you have an emotional connection with? Or what if you met a soft, tender woman who has a muscular body? My ideal partner would be some hard-bodied sensitive man.

I've thought about sexual orientation (including romantic attraction in my definition) as a scale with extremely homosexual on one end, bisexual at the "0" tick, and then extremely heterosexual on the other end, and then there are like a million t...

I've never watched the L Word longer than a couple minutes before. Maybe I'll check it out. It looked to me like an imitation of Queer as Folk (which I loved), so I didn't give it a chance. I also like Noah's Arc. I like watching sex scenes between two hot guys. Maybe I'd like watching between two hot women...keyword being "hot". But I don't think I'd like the in-between scenes with the dialogue/storyline. I do like that show called Exes and Oh's on Logo. It's about lesbians. It's cute.

A muscular male body attached to a man who's soft, tender, and you have an emotional connection with?

That's called a gay man honey. There is no such animal in the heterosexual world.

Or what if you met a soft, tender woman who has a muscular body?

Well, no disrespect for those that like that form, but I definitely am most physically attracted to slender, tall, really feminine looking women. Of course we would all agree that physical attractions are what first draw you to an individual, but they can't hold me there unless there is intelligence, humor, and compatibility. I can't make a blend and even though that is an interesting thought, I wouldn't want to...

I wouldn't want to make some sort of blend of steak and fries, like a steak/fry.

Oh, btw, the L word is definite eye candy for sex scenes with hot women. And I swear, I wanna add Logo, but the programming seems to be geared more toward the gay male and in this household it's a no go. I can only push hubby so far.

Actually, I love contradictions and blends (mmm steak-fries). Maybe we can't blend a steak and fry together, but I can get them on the same plate. I refuse to believe my dream hybrid man doesn't exist....even if only in my dreams.

Logo does seem to have mostly gay man-friendly programming, but there's some lezzie stuff, too. I bought Noah's Arc DVDs and got my boyfriend to watch a couple episodes with me by promising some out-of-this-world hetero sex every time he got a traumatic gay flashback. Although he closed his eyes during the sex/love scenes, he ended up getting into the storylines, asking what happened with so-and-so. I think reruns of LWord is on Logo, so maybe that can be y...

I think reruns of LWord is on Logo, so maybe that can be your trump card to convince your hubby. If that doesn't work, just throw some real good stuff on him and while he's asleep, call your cable/satellite company. lol
