Bisexuality:
Is it a greed thing?
Dear Friend,
I’ve written about bisexuality before, in a humourous manner, but I don’t think I ever really the topic, so I thought today might be a good day.
Last
night I went to a workshop called “What Women Want” where a bunch of
19-25 year old people sat around in a circle and talked about issues on
sex and the opposite sex.
One of the questions raised was, “Would you ever date a bisexual?”
The general consensus around the room was that bisexuals were greedy.
Now,
I’ve never actually come out and said it [although it says so in any
profile that asks], but I have dated girls in the past. I guess that
makes me a bisexual.
However, I don’t think that makes me greedy — I just happened to like a girl enough to date her.
Misconceptions about the meaning of “bisexual”:
I
think that a lot of people have misconceptions about the word
“Bisexual”. The term in itself somewhat signifies promiscuity because
of the word “bi” itself. I also think a lot of “pansexuals” (those who
are open to anything) tend to call themselve “bisexaul” because it’s a
more accepted term.
Some bisexuals think it’s OK to have a
relationship with a guy and a girl at the same time, because if it’s
not with the same sex it’s not cheating.
Take it from me, it’s cheating.
And I DEFINITELY will not share my boyfriend with another girl.
In
my case, bisexual just means that I happen to date girls sometimes, and
I happen to date guys sometimes.. and though my last two long
relationships have been with guys, if I were to become single again it
wouldn’t be out of the question to date a girl.
Does bisexuality exist?
A
lot of people tell me that bisexuality doesn’t exist in the first
place. That it’s a myth for people who are gay or promiscuous.
While
I’d like to think I’m not promiscuous (I’ve been in 2 long term [2.5
years and 1 year] relationships in the past 4 years), I know I’m
definitely not gay.
I’m just open to the idea.
