Bisexuality Support Group
Bisexuality is a sexual orientation which refers to the aesthetic, romantic, and/or sexual attraction of individuals to other individuals of both their own and the opposite gender or sex. Most bisexuals are not equally attracted to men and women, and may even shift between states of finding either sex exclusively attractive over the course of time.
This might seem like a silly question but I don't know what counts as coming out. My close friends have known for a while that I am attracted to women as well as men, but I always considered myself bi curious until recently. Now I know its not curiosity, I am bisexual. In any event, they know I am attracted to women (and many of them know the specific woman) and marrying a man. I am not embarassed about noticing an attractive man or woman and discussing them with someone that would also appreciate their finer qualities . So I am not hiding my sexual preferences but I haven't for example mentioned them to my parents, or some friends that are homophobic. Equally when my step mother came over I didn't move/hide the book I was reading (the bisexual option). I don't think that I have to tell the world that I am bi to be honest with myself, but am I fooling myself? Am I really in the closet because I am not telling certain people? Or is it one aspect of me, like where I work or my religious beliefs, something I don't tell everyone because its just not always relevant? I saw an equality monitoring form to send in with a job application recently that included a question about whether the applicant was straight, gay or bisexual, I don't know whether I would answer that question. Does that make me in the closet? It seems like you would have to be continually comming out of the closet if you had to tell everyone. Any thoughts anyone?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I didn't feel attracted to women until 3 years ago, and I started telling friends about a year and a half ago, starting with a few of my closest friends, and then branching out. Although I don't have the option right now of being with a women because of being in a monogomous long-term relationship with a man, it has felt amazing to tell people that I'm bisexual, so freeing and true to myself. For awhile I was almost TOO eager to tell everyone and later decided to choose more carefully who I told. I haven't told my parents, but I have told my boyfriend.
I think for me "Coming out" has most importantly been about coming out to myself, really looking at who I am, exploring little prejudices I didn't even know I had about homosexuality, opening up new parts of myself to myself. Telling others has helped me feel more confident about my attraction to women because they've been so non-judgemental and supportive. but ultimately this has been about my relationship with myself.
