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.

Why is it that when a man (or should I say most men) find out a woman is bisexual they are ok with that that. But when a woman (or should I say most women) find out a man is bisexual they are troubled by that? Is it because for men sex is more for physical pleasure and less about emotional intimacy? Is it ok for a woman to be in love with a bisexual man? Can a bisexual person experience true emotional and physical intimacy in a monogomus relationship with a member of the opposite sex - or will there alwasy be that desire for physical intimacy with the same sex?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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 personally think that it's absolutely fine for a woman to be in love with a bisexual man. i think that there are women who view sex as purely physical, and men who see it as emotional. it really just depends on the particular person.
On the other hand women may have a hard time with accepting a man's bisexuality because many women simply have a hard time trusting men in the first place, especially when it comes to their desires and that's regardless of their orientation. That distrust is intensified when he's bi because now not only does a woman have to worry about other women there's also other men.
It's perfectly ok for a woman to love a bisexual man. There's nothing wrong with that. Trustworthiness is a personal characteristic that a person cultivates, it's not something that's connected to a person's orientation. So it doesn't matter whether a person is bi, straight or gay, if they are trustworthy, they're trustworthy, if not, than they're not.
I think a bisexual person can experience true emotional and physical intimacy in a monogamous, opposite sex relationship. It might be easier to achieve when both are bi but if only one is bi then there needs to be room for open discussion and a safe avenue for which both can help the one who is bisexual to express that aspect of his/herself.
I'm married and monogamous. My husband knows that I'm bi but it's not something that's often discussed. He doesn't inquire about it and I don't feel that comfortable bringing it up. Every now and the I find the courage to say something but I often feel vulnerable to the point that anything my husband says or doesn't say in response is emotionally painful. So I keep my feelings to myself but I think this silence and feeling like I can't openly discuss this with him is what intensifies my own longings. I'm happy but not completely. It's not that I feel as though I need to be with another woman. I just don't like how I can't freely express my "queerness". I can't just comment on another woman's beauty, casually start up a conversation about the last episode of the L Word or debate whether the characters from Brokeback Mountain were gay or bi. So in that respect I'm not just suppressing my attraction to certain women, I'm also suppressing some of my interests, thoughts, dreams and hopes. So open discussion is very important as well as understanding. The best thing that a non-bi partner can do is to show initiative in wanting to understand what bisexuality is about and to be supportive.
So, anyway, I am one of those women who would go into a relationship with a bisexual man suspicious of whether or not he could be fulfilled in a monoganous relationahip with a woman. I would be curious, though, and want to hear from him, all how he feels on the subject.
