@jwasafrog Said I just though of something I heard on the
news a while back. Why is it that it's ok for people to encourage other people to embrace or explore their homosexuality/bisexuality, but for some reason if people encourage people to do the opposite they are called "closed minded" and stupid? It almost seems like people are shuning one side of the argument, and people struggling with homosexuality are only allowed to hear pro argument.
Does that seem weird to anyone else?
I have yet to see where others are encouraged to explore their bisexuality, except maybe the girl-girl thing. I personally would not encourage anyone to explore anything sexually other than what interests them as long as it's safe, legal and conensual. Look, once you have discovered a "bi" side of you, life changes... you will be asking yourself... "how can I like both men and women?" Also, you will wonder when, where and why the attraction to a
MOTSS (member of the same sex) came into being and why you can't shake it off as easily you might want. Should you decide to act on that attraction and later "come out" in regards to your feelings, be prepared to get shunned from many "straight" people as well as gay people, including family and friends. Believe it or not, those who come out as bisexual get far less acceptance than those who come out as homosexual due mostly to ignorance from
"bi-phobia" .
Me, I am not a "true" bisexual bi definition since I have yet to become romantically inclined towards men, nor do I think I ever could or would... I still prefer women, but physically desire both. On the
Kinsey Scale , I'd be between a 2 and a 3 on a physical sense, but in an emotional aspect, between a 0 and a 1. I strongly suggest that one should seriously consider the consequences/ramnifications involved and impact on their relationships before they act on encouragement to "explore" their sexuality with a MOTSS. I explored... I acted... and surprisingly... I liked it and wanted more. FYI - my bisexuality only goes but so deep... so far, however, I would not call someone who wants others to explore their heterosexuality as closed-minded. If one is vehemently against same-sex contact under any/all circumstances and refuses to believe one could be bisexual/homosexual then that person could very well be construed as closed-minded. FYI - the term "open-minded" in personal profiles has mainly become a code word/phrase for being open to same-sex contact or being
"bi-curious" .
