While I find both men and women beautiful, I am really only sexually attracted to men. There is some psych test on sexuality/sexual preference and I think I get like a 1, any one know what it is called? When I was younger I had women who had crushes on me & I didn't understand it, I mean I did understand that they were attracted to me - I just was not at all attracted to them as they were female. I liked them as people and on a platonic level. It did kind of make things a bit awkward after that though. :-/ I had crushes on gay men - hahaha.. which was a bit awkward too when they found out as we were friends as well.. hahaha..

I agree wendy.
But you said it better than I did. Thanks.

Oh this is interesting, although I am not too sure it will tell you anything you don't already know..

Well chanel122, I'm not going to take that test but, like you, I have also been attracted to my gay and/or transsexual friends. Don't know why.
Maybe it was because I felt some type of kinship with them. Who knows. I think it may have been because I didn't feel threatened by them. That was the biggie. But they were so needy an clingy that I just couldn't go through with it.

I think it is because they are men and I am sexually attracted to men.. though they happened to be gay, so that just wasn't at all fruitful.. But down to the nitty gritty of it, biologically speaking I guess that was what came into play..

Interesting question.

I wish i knew what i was. I've had sex with both sexes. But only go for relationships with females.

Maybe i'm gay with a tendency to have sex with men when i'm manic?

I don't know.

LOL. They may be men but when they are attracted to other men I guess that means you're basically fucked!
They don't want pussy. They are repulsed by it. They can be you're best friend but that's it.
It's like being a gay guy and wanting to have a relationship with a straight women with a Husband and kids. Or a lesbian trying to be buddies with a married man. It just doesn't work.

Am bi have been always will be but nope don't think it has a thing to do with me being BP

I don't think its anything to do with bp either. Unless the attraction only comes in a manic phase when all bets are off and you are up for anything.

I am straight but can appreciate looking at the beauty of a woman but the thought of having sex with her makes me feel ill.

Each to their own! Just enjoy and don't hurt anyone...

Oh and for the record I date/sleep with the brains and personality it has NOTHING to do with what is between their legs

I've always been bisexual.....don't think it correlates with being bipolar either. Like it was said before.....it's the person not the packaging that matters to me! ox

Personally I believe that all people are on a spectrum in terms of bisexuality but many people even is they are 50/50 in terms of their hetro/homo orientation will elect to only have hetrosexual relationships because of the predudices of the society we live in.

Most people I believe, have to have more than a 70% prefference of their own sex as opposed to the oppositie sex before openly declaring themselves as gay or lesbian.

The taboo over considering yourself as bi is even greater but in recent years bisexuality in women appears to have become more acceptable.

As regards bipolar, I do not believe there is a link as such, just a tendency to obsess more about it. In the depressed phase you tend to become more inhibited and you might feel ashamed of your bisexuality, whereas in a manic phase you become less inhibited than normal and might be interested in a threesome where you engaged in both straight and lesbian sex.

In my own case I am transgender and my normal prefference is to dress as a woman in private and the company of people I can be very open with. When I am feeling depressed I often feel ashamed of my cross dressing but when I am in a hypomanic phase I often imagine dressing as a woman in public.

Well I have to say that my BP affects this. When manic I'll do just about anything and like both men and women. When not manic I prefer women, I find them to be beautiful. All my relationships have been with women. So I guess I'm only bisexual when manic. Women usually win out because they have boobs. LOL

I don't think so; if i recall correctly, the stats say that more men than women have BP. Unless there is a significant occurence of both sexes being Bi; which still would be very difficult to conclude, since if that did show up in the results of a study, it still could be a coincidence. What I would suspect is, that if your brain chemistry is prone to bipolar disorder in the first place, the added stress of dealing with being Bi in our society - (such as having to suppress your true self as well as other related issues unique to being Bi ) could certainly be a factor.

Just wanted to say that I'm not bi and I don't think sexuality has anything to do with a mental disorder.
