i think that there will always be times when you are attracted to people other than your girlfriend/boyfriend, but that is true regardless of what sexual orientation you are. i think that if you love the person, you can overcome those superficial, purely sexual desires and have a monogamous relationship (if that's what you want.)

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.

These are just my thoughts so in no way am I an authority on men and women but in general I think most men don't find the possibility of their girlfriend/wife being with another woman as something to be threatened by. They may even see it as an opportunity to suggest a threesome. But I think when it boils down to it some men don't think that their girlfriend/wife would ever choose a woman over them. I mean if you look at the way that some women treat each, betraying one another for the attention of a man, why would a guy ever be threatened by their lady's same sex attractions when he knows in the end she's gonna stick with him?
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.

I have not met many bisexual men, in fact, I can't think of one at the moment. But I think that if I did, my knee jerk reaction would be that their preference would be to be with a man, just like, I think, most bisexual women feel like they are "home" with a woman. I am not sure why I have this conception, but I do. I do not want to judge people, but I do have this knee jerk reaction with really nothing to base it on. There is that fellow on here who has been happily married to a woman for many years who is bisexual. So, I know I am obviously clueless about this and am curious about this subject myself. Will a bisexual man prefer a man because he can relate to him better emotionally and sexually? This seems to make sense to me, as may even be my reasoning for why bisexual women prefer women. I fully understand idealistically it "shouldn't" matter as a person, regardless of sexual orientation, in respecting a person's preferences to be without a sex mentioned at all ... I agree with that and would love for my life and the rest of the world to live in harmony without labeling ourselves straight, gay or bisexual. But, in general, and in reality, the the social stereotypes our world has conjured up, it makes sense to me that for a person who is open to initmacy and even sexual intimacy with the same sex to find comfort and more to share together with the same sex.

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.

I actually think that if in a serious relationship both men and women find it somewhat difficult to find that their partner of whatever sex is bi. I think I would personally would find it difficult if my partner was, because I would be concerned that I couldn't offer him everything that he needed. Much like I am afraid that he can't offer me everything that I need. Not just sexually, but also emotionally. I want monogamy - emotional and physical, but I am scared that its not possible for someone who is bi, without sacrificing part of themselves.

Wow! You asked some really deep questions there. I thought sex between ANYONE was about intimacy. Even between men. So I don't know how to answer your questions, for the fact that quiet a few of my guy friends are bi and almost every girl is too. So I guess it will take sometime for you to get your answers.
