>>56468>i'm talking about only being attracted to biological males and femalesHonest question about that, isn't everyone a biological male or female? I guess some are somewhat ambiguous (intersexed) but for the most part if you're attracted to both sexes I don't get why you wouldn't be attracted to trans people or whatever.
I never got the distinction between pan or bi for that reason, I'm not a trans apologist or anything I'm pretty much a TERF just curious.
No. 56479
>>56474I'm the same way, anon. I've definitely found women sexually and romantically attractive (come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I was aroused by women's bodies before men's) but my attraction to men is so much stronger I almost feel like I'd be leading people on if I said I was bi.
>>56471I think the "pan" thing comes down to genitals I guess? Like you're into dudes with dicks and chicks with vaginas. It's kind of how I feel. If I were to go home with someone like pic related who passes extremely well as a man and then I found out they had a vagina, I feel like I'd probably be put off from having sex with them. It makes me feel like an asshole tbh.

That's not bisexuality then. Pansexuality is just something tumblr invented because they think bisexuals exclude trans people, but we don't. I find it really insulting that they decided to tell us what are sexuality is? We're attracted to people regardless of gender/genitals.
That aside, I'm glad there's a thread on bisexuality because it seems a lot of anons are bisexual. I do believe we're underrepresented in the media and because of that people spread all these horrible myths about us which just aren't true.

>>56493THANK YOU
I looked up today pan vs bi and what the difference is, there's literally none, it's just a more snowflaky sounding name

The older I am the more secure I am into my sexuality. I still (very very slightly) regret not experimenting with the same sex but it's okay because I'm happy with my current partner. My parents didn't really care when I came out to them, in fact my mother, who is more on the "old fashioned" side of seeing things sounded somewhat happy to hear it lol
I just wish people would take us more serious and actually acknowledge us. A lot of people seem to think less of our opinion because we're "only half gay/straight". Same thing with the media - gay or straight. Nothing else.
A year or two ago one of my favorite companies released a game where one of the main characters is bi. It's canon, confirmed by their official blog a d on the wiki. Yet people STILL decided that the character HAS to be gay. Or straight. Still bugs the shit out of me. I want more representation for us in games, too.

I'm bisexual. And biromantic. I hate to have to say I'm also biromantic, but people like labels, and unfortunately, somehow most bi women I know IRL are only bi if they want to fool around/have sex every once in a while/experiment with other girls. So I kinda feel that I have to explain I'm not only into girls when I want fun sex or a hook-up, but that I also get romantically involved with them. It sucks, man. I agree with the other anon who talked about myths being untrue (we're overtly sexual, it's just a phase, people grow out of it, etc), but I do feel nervous when I develop feelings for a bi girl because I think she may leave me for a dude… Because it's happened before. Same with my best friend as well (a lesbian). I hate to say this but we've become wary of some "bi" girls… It's like you get super involved and in love with them just to get dumped when a man shows up. Yeah, I know not everyone is like this and I'm definitely not like this, and maybe you're not like this either, but this is my story and what I've seen.

they were probably just experimenting, calling themselves bisexual and giving "actual" bi women a bad name (i typed actual between " because in the end who's to judge one's sexuality?

I have had this discussion with one lesbian. Her view is that most bisexual girls are just straight girls with daddy issues.
This is similar to the prevalent view among straight women that most bisexual men are really gay.
If you're bisexual, (a lot of) women will always assume you're really interested in men.
Gay men, on the other hand, assume bisexual men are primarily interested in them.
Straight men, assume bisexual woman are primarily interested in them too.
This might speak to the relative states of self-confidence of each sex.

>>56495Pansexual is not just a word some random on tumblr invented for their bio. pansexual is a real thing totally apart from bisexuality that you can find in all of the official English dictionaries, like Oxford and Collins. And it exists for a reason,
to differentiate between people who are attracted to men and women (bisexual) from people who are in addition attracted to non-cis gender identities, which is a whole separate thing. Please don't spew ignorance just because you googled "pan vs bi" and probably read an unreliable source that didn't explain it properly. They are not the same thing, and they are not interchangeable.

Pansexuality isn't a new concept but it's only really been brought into fashion recently. I'm not going to label myself with a fashionable sexuality. I've been calling myself bisexual for years and I'm comfortable with it, I don't need to change because some trans people on tumblr are screaming to change the definition of my sexuality.
Traditionally, the word "bisexual" has been used for what people are describing above. Promoting the idea of "pansexuality" is disrespectful towards bisexuals imo as it assumes that NO bisexuals are attracted to trans people (while in my experience talking to other bisexuals, is not true). If you're not, you could state that you're trans-exclusive if it's that big of a deal to you, but even that doesn't make sense to me. If you're attracted to men and women, their genitals and appearance matching shouldn't be an issue because it's implied you like BOTH.
I think all these tumblr trans trenders are annoying but it's silly to assume you're not attracted to any of them based on your experience of tumblrinas. I know plenty of normal trans people irl who are lovely and I've definitely crushed on some of them. It's different when you know someone in real life and you're familiar with their personality.
At the end of the day, I don't like people telling bisexuals what exactly their sexuality is (when it's theirs to define for themselves) and forcing another label upon them. There are enough myths about us and we get enough hate from both straight and LGBT circles so let's not force this silly "pansexual" thing.

>>56468I'm bi but basically a virgin with girls. Not that I had many male partners so the math adds up, as about 3% of the female population is gay.
I feel bad for calling myself bi when all I did was slightly fool around but never had proper sex or a relationship with a girl. Still I like girls in a different way than men but it just seems so hard to get in a relationship with one (it's already hard as it is with men and it's way easier to tell when one is interested, or potentially interested).
I went about 3 years with no sex/no relationship after my first breakup and I'm not even considered ugly so Idk what to do, or how to do it. I tried online dating, I tried hanging out in gay bars. I just look at women in the streets and wish they were as much gay women as straight ones bc holy hell it's HARD.

>>56593I'm not sure if I got this right since English isn't my first language and I suck at making structured sentences but here it goes.
The reason people feel "discriminated" against is because they don't want people to think they're straight, because they're not. There probably are idiots who want to play "victim" but others don't want to be reduced to being "just straight" or to be told their opinions don't matter in the community simply because they're in a het relationship. Bisexuals who are in hetero relationships aren't straight. Sure, they don't get the same shit as gay people, obviously, but you can't really deny the fact that they're not straight.

>>56600I'm bi and this is exactly how I feel.
The problem isn't that I feel discriminated against because people don't know I also like pussy, it's that gay people treat me completely straight. I get that my experiences are different to that of a gay person, but they're not straight experiences either. They don't go away just because I'm dating a guy.
I don't want any special treatment, I just want it to be acknowledged that I'm not straight, but it feels like bi people are seen more as allies than members of the lgbt+ menagerie
No. 56610
>>56593Yeah, I don't think you understand. From my personal experience, I've been left out of LGBT meet-ups, nights out, groups because the LGT people I know don't believe in bisexuality (like straight up just don't believe it's real). I've had lesbians tell me that they could never date me because I've been with a man before. My LGT friends will constantly refer to me as "straight" despite me correcting them every single time and when they make jokes/gossip about straight people, then look in my direction like I'm supposed to react negatively. They'll purposefully bring up a topic related to LGBT issues, turn to me and say "Sorry, we'll wait until you're gone". The friends of someone I was dating asked her to break up with me because I was "going to leave her for a man" one day. When I was going out with women, I was essentially praised by my LGT friends "omg so proud of youuu~!" but the moment I started dating a man they instantly reverted back to calling me "straight". My mother told me that I was not welcome in our house anymore if I turned out to be a lesbian but despite that, straight people have actually been kinder and more respectful towards me than the community I'm supposedly a part of.
It's a little more than "boo hoo why won't people recognize my sexuality!" It's about feeling isolated and repeatedly having people disrespect you. It's about people in the LGBT community blatantly spreading lies about us (which are the same lies homophobes spread about gay people, ironically "They can choose their sexuality!" "It's just a phase!" "They're dirty!" "They're faking it for attention!" I guess the bullied can't help but become bullies themselves :)) Can't imagine what these people said behind my back if this is the kind of stuff they said to my face.
The fact is that bisexuals get hate from both sides because straight people think we're gay and gay people think we're straight. For some reason, there are people who can't imagine that someone can be both. We don't feel welcome anywhere.

This is bitchy, but I also haven't met a girl which I would trust to trust me to spend forever with, because of the 'bi girls always go straight' cliche there are always going to be trust issues in a ff relationship. But a man will just see it as normal and expected that you will stay

it's a double-edged sword - you sleep with people of both sexes, you fit thhe typical bi slut stereotype. you don't, well, you're not a legit bisexual then and you won't be until you do. try to ignore everyone else because you know what/who you like and nobody can tell you otherwise.

That being said, pansexuality is stupid. It implies bisexual people are emotionless sluts who don't value being nice/interesting. Obviously anyone looking for a partner wants someone with good qualities. The only difference between a straight person and you is which genders are eligible.
Pan also has a bad rap for a reason…tons of liberal straight girls use it to seem "accepting". Identifying as pan also takes away the sex side of sexuality - making it about your big heart or whatever, so of course women will jump on that, since they're constantly shamed for anything indicating they're sluts/enjoy sex.

>>60695I don't understand the need to have an entirely different word. The chances I'm going to meet let alone date a trans or intersex person are very small. That leaves me with cis men and women, the same as 99% of bi/pan people. No matter the case the person I'm with is going to identify as a man or a woman, so what's the point in clarifying "Yeah I'd fuck/date a trans person if I had the chance". What? It's just a stupid game of semantics and pedantics. Not to derail the thread or anything but if there's an actually good reason for the pansexual label I'd like to know it.
No. 60758
>>60742>>60743A bisexual is attracted to cisgendered men and women. Pansexuals are attracted to every type of body, whether it be a cisgendered person, a transperson's body (Which can be inbetween transitions, and a transitioned body sexually isn't 100% the same, at least for FTMs it's not, mtf vaginas i can't tell the difference with).
Plus it also adds intersexed persons (hermaphrodites), and possibly people with sexual deformities (like the chick with two vaginas).
I'm bisexual and I am not attracted to transpersons.
For me this is mostly about the baggage though. Every trans person I have befriended or gotten into any form of relationship with has been hell to deal with. I mean, it's logical they're going to have a little more baggage in terms of self worth and appearance than your average person. That's a given.
But my worst experience kinda shows what I mean. This was a transgirl. I met her online just looking for friends but I guess despite being trans, the man side of her that said "Friends means we can FUCK" was kicking in because day one she was trying to get me into more shit.
I was going through a lot of depression at the time and was dressing down a lot. Not really wearing anything to make me stand out (So a t-shirt and jeans most of the time with a hoodie) and my hair was cut short so i didn't have to deal with it.
So maybe she thought I was masculine and shit or maybe she was projecting her sexual desires onto me.
But she insisted I get on top when we were dry humping and treat her like the girl (i.e. hump against her ass like I had a dick).
I obliged at first (dear god being the guy sucks if you're not fit or can't autopilot like guys do) but it quickly got more and more out of hand.
She'd keep putting me down a lot and would always come back with "GURL I"M A HONEYBADGER YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN" when all i asked her was to stop asking me to be a guy.
As someone who was struggling with self esteem issues in a different way (i.e. being a cisgendered girl who felt masculine and ugly) it was really difficult, and her utter unwillingness to understand how I felt because she experiences more difficulties being herself and "doesn't give a shit" about it just crushed me.
Aside from her I have only had one good experience even being friends with a transgendered person (I'm sorry but too many FTMs are either fake, or still act like fakeassbitches despite wanting to be masculine).
The last reason is that I have trouble seeing some transgendered people as the gender they want to be. For example, I had a massive crush on a transmale (the one good one as said above) but I never pursued it because I realized I didn't see him as a him, I saw him as a boyish girl (and god do i love boyish girls) and i thought that was too disrespectful to be able to pursue a relationship..and that's usually what it is in the end for me. I get attracted to a transperson for what they are physically rather than the gender they feel they are, and would lose attraction to them if they changed.
Add the fact that most FTM trannies at least are just too ugly to be considered girls and are all glued to tumblr and I just can't do it, I'm too shallow.
So that's why I find a difference between the terms.
No. 60782
>>60742there are a lot of people who don't want to be with someone who's had HRT or surgery, or even not being able to enjoy their partner's body how it currently is (may trans people don't really want to be treated as their biological sex during intercourse). that's why the need for the word.
i personally have a huge problem with body modification of any kind, so i wouldn't be able to be with someone who was post op or post HRT trans. pansexuals are accepting of those kinds of things.
pansexuals are not better or worse than bi people, like tumblr would have you believe it's just another sexuality. like any other sexuality, it's important in certain situations, such as dating sites, to let someone else know whether you're interested in them or not. in my case i want people to know i am uncomfortable physically with trans people.
the stigma around being bi comes from porn and pop culture. a lot of men are attracted to multiple women being together, and with them, so the portayal of bi people in the media is really centered around sex. couple that with experimentation and then it gets worse. similar stigmas exist for lesbians and gays but i think being bi is more accessible. the idea that you'd want to have sex with a guy and also a girl is arousing to alot of people, which sucks, but not everyone feels that way, and working towards normalizing different sexuality in the media will correct this problem eventually.
the real problem is with tumblr and the stigma around non-pansexuals. when i was on dating sites i would often get harassing or threatening messages from tumblr-types about being transphobic and it's really unfair. those people try to dictate other people's sexuality and at the same time claim to be more accepting. i even have trouble with my current boyfriend's circumcision because i am uncomfortable wth genital modification, for someone to tell me to be okay with something even more extreme is terrible. i don't understand why people act that way.

>>60782 said, it's not. they also explained that they can't physically deal with post-op trans bodies, which isn't at all what you said.

Whereas 3d men are complete wildcards. You don't know what they're thinking or what they can do, and so many men are so scummy that you think they aren't worth it.
3d women on the other hand are less of a mystery. You (to some level) know and can relate to other women so they are comfy and nice, so you can actually see yourself befriending and maybe even dating one.

>>61915Is it just me thinking it's really hard to meet girls when you're bi and kinda outgoing already ? I'm ashamed because I literally never had sex with a woman, or had a serious relationship with one so I feel like my validity as a bi is null.
I tried dating apps, putting my sexuality as bi and messaging a ton of girls on okcupid (the amount of unicorn hunters, fake profiles and "sapiosexual-demisexual" is astounding), tried gay only dating apps etc …
Girls are either sjws with that dumb miniature bangs haircut and grandma glasses tumblr look, angsty as fuck or simply flaky. Or trans, cool…
And in the meantime I continue to go out and get hit on by really cool decent men, with a stable life and handsome at that.
I really want to try dating girls but it's such a fucking hurdle. The amount of girls who are bi or lesbian in the area is already fucking low but you have to take out the uglies, the couples, the polyamouros and the anxiety riddled ones.

>>61924Hey-yo, I feel u bro.
The dating pool for lesbians is so small in most communities that they're rightfully shitty about bi women lovin' and leavin' em for men which happens more often than you think.
It is hard for bi women though, most of my friends are lesbians and they're always defending me from other lesbians who delightfully call me a cock-sucker at clubs lmao. My friends know me though, they know I'm not just a college girl looking to experiment and then go "this is hard, my parents cut me off so I'm gonna get a boyfriend instead, bye" because I've been part of the community for so long.
I've talked to them about this before though, that if you attack every fresh-faced young girl experimenting with her sexuality then that pool's going to get even smaller. I have a friend who turned out to be a lesbian that almost got MARRIED to a guy because she was told so often that she was faking it. Luckily she met a lovely gay woman and they're really happy together.
Idk, I'm on the lesbians' side because of all the bull they have to put up with but the sad baby bi inside me just wants to beg everyone to stop chasing kids off.

Is anyone here resigned to the fact that you'll probably never be with a girl? my taste in girls fits in with what you call a "lipstick lesbian", a feminine girly girl who likes other feminine girly girls. This is weirdly very rare?? like two chicks with dresses and makeup and high heels and everything. you see it a lot in porn, but not irl. In fact the ONLY example I've ever seen is petitepasserine and nicholael. I envy that SO MUCH. But I'm already in my 20's and my desire to have a baby with a guy is much stronger than my desire to be in an intimate relationship with a girl like this. I don't plan to be a mom who has a relationship on the side unless it's bio dad either. I just don't like the thought of step-parents/mommy's boyfriend/girlfriend. So me being bisexual will probably go to waste.
No. 61956
>>61932Thanks, I totally understand that bi suspicion. It sucks and I don't blame lesbians for it, they already face enough and I get how hard it is to find someone when your dating pool is restricted. If a girl told me she wouldn't date me because I sucked cock before I'd be hurt but to me it's kind of rejecting someone because they slept with too many people, that's their own choice.
>>61931I never said I never had any experience with women. Unfortunately the only gay girls I found so far were pretty far up their own asses so it never went all the way to bed or after a few dates. Or I'm the unluckiest bastard on earth because I end up with butch girls who want to be the typical Chad and screw as many girls as possible. Not that I haven't been offered a gay threesome but it's not my thang.
> ~all girls suck~ (uglies, couples, polyamouros and anxiety riddled) whereas ~all boys who hit on her are "cool decent men"~Nah son, how about I'm decently attractive, funny and am confident enough to socialize with people easily ? I worked a lot on that and my friend's group is relatively big.
I'm just saying, ~my~ own problem is that I want to date girls but girls my taste don't show up as often as guys my taste, what's so hard to get about it ? I'm attracted to girls but when a dude with a stable situation, funny, respectful and handsome shows up I don't exactly want to put him in the "wait til I try and find the girl version of you"-zone.
>>61947Thanks, I don't mind being told snobby or dickish for having standards, but you got the point though. I was probably a bit harsh and venting but it's not like I didn't set up several dating profiles, some on girls only websites, went on dates and navigate through the fakes, the hunters and the flakes. If I merely tried to have a college experience I wouldn't go through that for years.

My one weakness are career women/confident professionals who look in charge but still feminine.
My portfolio management lecturer almost fits the bill but she's a bit too Ellen DeGeneres for my taste. One time I saw the most gorgeous banker at my college's career fair and she was so pretty and kind I couldn't stop thinking about her for months.
I wish I had an older female mentor gf, but older women never seem to be into those kinds of relationships, not even professionally. They always see younger females/female professionals as competition (or so I've been told), which is sad because I just… don't. I always respect and revere them. And want to suck on their tits while they pet my head. No homo.

No. 62410
My status has always confused me, in the sense that I fancied girls way earlier than I fancied boys and I find way more women attractive than I do men, but I've slept with/dated more men? Idk it might just be that the dating pool is a lot smaller for various reasons, as other farmers have mentioned, so I've ended up with more guys because more options.
As for bisexuality/pansexuality being the same thing, I don't really think it is. I wouldn't date a trans person, not because I don't like both sexes, but because I wouldn't want to deal with the personality that goes with it. I don't really believe in "transgender" unless it follows onto being actually transsexual, which it doesn't seem to that often! I cba with gender politicians, it's just not for me. I respect other people's identities, but it doesn't mean I want to date/sleep with them. I wouldn't date a religious person either, for this reason. Also, if I'm dating someone who looks like a trad bio male, I most likely want a dick when I get down there, so…
tldr; I think having separate names for people who would happily date trans people is helpful for those in the dating pool. Stops potentially upsetting conversations, at least!

>>60837Someone's body or dress preference may not be the basis of a long-lasting attraction, but I believe it's at least a reasonable part of many people's initial attraction to someone. You don't need to talk down to people who's attraction doesn't work the same way as yours, you're not the dating council.
Maybe some people just want to be differentiated because it's easier for them? It's not necessarily about questioning people's sexuality, just about navigating the situations where knowing someone's sexual preference is important. If a trans person could know from one polite descriptive word that they had a chance (or not), would that not be a good thing?
You just sound like an angry control freak. Yes, I'm sure if people on here met a trans person that changed their mind, they'd go for it. People on here don't like bisexuals because they're engaging in a discussion on a fucking messageboard about bisexual identity? Sure. Like, chill out, don't take it so personally.

Okay, question and I'd like farmers opinions on it:
I've been attracted to girls since my teens. My first time having sex was with one. One of the people I've loved the most, and really left me heartbroken was also a girl.
So yeah, i don't like labels, but if I really need one I guess I've always been bisexual and biromantic.
I got the Kinsey test for fun (because lots of people say it's biased) and I got a perfect 50/50.
But anyway, the older I get, the less interested I am in women. I've always thought I really didn't care about one's private parts: if I love you or/and if I am attracted to you, that's it and fuck it if you have a penis or a vagina. And sometimes my interest in people would vary according to the person I was seeing: I'd barely even notice women around if I was fancying a guy, and vice versa. But those "I'm so gay/straight" days never lasted much and I'd go back to my normal of being attracted to both men and women shortly after.
Why am I talking so much, ugh…
But yeah, I feel like my love and sexual desire for girls has really died. I hate thinking this because I don't want to think it was just a long lasting phase, but maybe… it was? I am 24 now.
I can't see myself with a girl anymore because I don't feel interested in them. Or attracted to them. At all. Trust me, I've tried meeting new girls and it just seems meh and like I'm forcing myself to do something I don't really want to do just to prove myself wrong. I don't really watch much porn, but when I do it's lesbian – still it feels like I do it out of habit, and because most PIV porn seems to hurt as fuck.
Can my interest in women only pop up in me again in many years down the road if I meet the right lady?
If it was really a long phase, then how do I know it was (or not) one?
I know all of this seems like an unimportant thing, and that time will tell, but it's been bothering me so fucking much because I was really comfortable knowing who I was, and with the idea of knowing what I wanted… but now I feel like I don't know anything about myself and need to revaluate everything again.
Tl;dr not sure if I just had a really long bi phase or not, and i want to know if not liking/being attracted to women anymore is normal and comes in sparse cycles.

>>62425I went/am going through something similar. My first relationship was with a girl, my first time having sex was with her, I consider her probably my "purest" love, etc.
As it stands, I'm not really sure of my sexuality. I find myself sort of turned off from dating or having sex with women, but I'm also in a relationship right now with a man. I don't find much of anyone else sexually attractive, men OR women. I still get the occasional girl crush, but my attraction to them is mostly from a distance or objective.
But when I think of my ex-gf, I miss that sort of relationship. And girls are nice.

it's like when straight women with commitment issues chase after unavailable men to make sure the relationship will fail in advance.

>>62425What you are feeling is perfectly normal for a bisexual woman, we are all fluid to various degrees. Our attraction to different sexes comes and goes with time and mood and sometimes I could swear I am asexual (and other times I'm like a nympho). In fact I thought I was asexual for the longest time because as a kid I was surrounded by straight girlfriends who kept having crushes on classmates and famous actors/pop stars and shit and I had to make up names and lie about having a crush all throughout the primary and middle school to fit in and seem "normal".
And then in hs I fell for a female teacher (lol) and a guy at the same time. Then for 8 years I was only into women and now into mid-twenties I am noticing men again. I used to be so sure I would settle down with a wife and now I am questioning myself and watching kids in parks and imagining having a traditional family. Both my first kiss and sex was with girls.
You are not a lesbian because lesbians do not posses the ability to be sexually attracted to the male sex ever, not as a phase, not as an experiment, not ever.

>>61957Lol this is hilarious because I pretty much fit that bill but I'm in a long term relationship (with a man). I fell in love with three women before him, sadly wound up with a broken heart after each relationship. He and I just happened to click in the right way and stayed together. I am definitely more gay than straight and typically can't even stand men. However I really miss being intimate with a woman and have been fantasizing about it a lot lately. (I was tempted to try a threesome with my current relationship a few times but I chickened out each time and fuck do I regret it. But I am still lowkey wondering if I should tell him how much I miss being with a woman and see if we can come up with a solution.)
Anyway, I'm a career woman in the medical field. Always go for a business casual and feminine look but I am attracted to both masculine and feminine women. I've always been a bit naive and emotionally stunted when interacting with people so I also had that fantasy when I was younger to have an older female mentor girlfriend as well, mostly because I was so inexperienced with people and life. I am a weird mix, I am pretty submissive about some things but dominant about others and when I was younger I wanted someone who could put me in my place and guide me.
Now that I'm in my late twenties and have been through enough shit to have some sense of this world, I oddly do not mind the idea of a younger girlfriend so long as she is decently forward and dominant in her own way. I used to think it was strange for a younger partner to be more dominant than someone older, but here I am oddly completely enthralled with the idea of someone younger (but not drastically ofc) going after me and being too naive and impulsive to be rational while doing as she pleases with me. (Even though I'm not that old in comparison, I feel like I sound like a seedy old fuck when I say that though, ugh.) But if I was with someone like that, I would also love to spoil her, buy her some nice things from time to time, take her to nice restaurants, etc. especially if she is still working on her career or finishing college. I never had that when I was younger and would love to share those kinds of experiences with her if she wanted.
Sorry, that probably sounds all kinds of wrong, but I guess what I am trying to say is there are some out there who fit what you are looking for. It's just hard to be obvious about it, since there are so many repercussions for not only being a lesbian but also being okay with dating someone younger.
Anyway, don't give up hope anon. I am sure you fill find someone older who is into that kind of relationship. Sage for blogging and pointless daydreaming.

I am attracted to girls but only sexually, I blame the fact that I watched so much porn growing up and generally the softer stuff (that I started with) is always lesbian. So it probably rewired my brain. I masturbate pretty much solely to lesbian porn too. But I don't think I would ever want to be with a girl irl, especially not in a relationship. I have been tempted to try tinder and look for a femme girl who just wants to come over so we can eat each other out, but I don't really have the balls to do such a thing. I remember a few vague lesbian experiences when I was much younger, with my friend (including scissoring with her lol but we were just curious kek).
I don't really feel attracted to girls irl (but get a lil moist around really high maintenance, snobby, bitchy girls - I think I'm attracted to ultra femme girls only). I guess I kind of want to get dommed by a hot girl. I saw some porn where a girl gets punished, humiliated and pissed on by her female classmates, and now it's one of my biggest fantasies. The idea of getting hazed and being a sex slave for dominant girls gets me off too.
Irl however I have only ever wanted to be in relationships with men. I am only capable of loving cis males. I am only capable of romantic feelings towards men. Sex with a guy I really love is the best, but I think sexually, I will always have a longing for pussy. However, I plan to exclusively have relationships with men only. But that lesbian fantasy isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I've heard that this kind of sexuality in females is very common. Luckily I can separate love and sex very easily. If my lesbian fantasy doesn't happen, I won't care too much. I'm quite happy with just getting dick.

Flirting with her was really fun and I got really turned on but once it got down to it my puss dried the fuck up.

So bisexual men have a thing where there are many "hard to get" women, and a few "easy" guys.
Bisexual women have a thing where there are few "hard" women, and many "easy" guys. So many easy guys. Everywhere. So it's not surprising at all that most bisexual women go straight; it's literally 100x more probable.

>>77269yeah. i too had a sexuality identical to what june claims and a bunch of other anons relate to wrt only attracted to women but not romantic and only vice versa for men.
but what a damn coincidence that there's so little easily accessible media that 1) portrays lesbian romantic relationships 2) puts men in the sexual object role and women in the sexual subject role in a genuine, non-fetishy way
if you don't have inspirational media and your imagination doesn't come up with these things, what's left is irl experience, and many of us only have experience with men because as another anon said, it's just way easier to come by.
my point is i think "genuine" 50/50 sexual and romantic bisexuality might be more apparent for a lot of us if what resonated with us wasn't so biased towards sexualizing women and romanticizing men. i know that i used to think i wasn't sexually attracted to men until i found guys who were my type and into putting themselves in "the female gaze" if i may. i guess i've always been mainly into being the sexual subject. it seems actually pretty rare for straight guys, at least to the point that the few who do it aren't usually my physical type.

>>77270True, but there can be other more social factors that influence that. You could be bi and not see yourself in a relationship with women because you haven't jived romantically with women you've met, have some issues with other women you haven't dealt with, or just been taught to expect a relationship with a man.

No. 77277
>>77271I'm kinda interested in what you say about sexual subject/sexual object stuff. My experience has been a bit different.
I know when I was a kid/teen I tried so hard to "figure out" how to see guys sexually the way I saw women. and looked at pictures of different guys to see if I could find any I could view as the sexual object. I never did figure it out, gave up, assumed I was just gay. With women I wanted to be the sexual subject more than the sexual object and tbh couldn't really see myself in the position of "sexual object".
I met a guy, we became close friends, and ended up dating. I still can't see him like a sexual object, I can't relate to girls that talk about certain features a guy has they love. I like to look at his face but for his body all I can say is "well there's nothing wrong with it", it'd be the same for any guy really. I think the reason I'm able to enjoy sex with him is because I realized how to put myself in the position of sexual object and realize I could also enjoy that. With women I'd lead towards being the "subject" but could also be the "object", with men I could only be the "object". I'm not sure if it was a good or a bad thing. Sorry if this is also incoherent, I just feel a bit confused about myself.
No. 77279
>>77278>>77275Same exact experience here. Even if it's well-intended, some of this stuff about being an objectifying misogynist is harmful to women who are attracted to women. I think the whole idea of being a sexual subject or object is different from person to person, and not everyone who is bi will experience their attraction in the same way. Also one isn't inherently better or worse than the other, the harm comes from the overall patterns in society that tend to put women in the object position, which bleeds over to other things.
As for whether that attraction is influenced by media, it doesn't change the fact that that attraction still exists, and I doubt someone straight could be conditioned to have an attraction to the same sex if regular conversion therapy doesn't even work.

>>77266I was a teen in the 90s and i remember when bisexuality was huge in movies/shows with women x women. It was only used mainly as a form to pleasure men though.

Why do you think so many threesomes are women x women x men?
We're still living in a society where bisexual women are held to a high standard, but only if both women are ultra femme. It's a huge form of sexism. Media is a huge influence on straight girls, esp basic bitches who want attention.

>>77325I don't believe "romantic orientation" is a thing. I don't think there's something that's set inside you that decides who you develop feelings for or not. If you have sexual attraction towards an entire gender but don't want to date them, I think that's just something about your personality that developed that way and doesn't really need any kind of label. Considering you can develop feelings for all kinds of people you never would have "seen yourself" wanting to be with just by imagining it, it seems pretty pointless.
I'd be happy to hear why you think it is though, maybe I'm just not getting something.
No. 77328
>>77325To add:
Sexual attraction is a really instinctual kind of thing. What a man or a woman is, physically, is defined very strictly, and your brain responds to different stimulus with arousal or lack thereof.
"Love" is very much a complicated higher brain emotion. Discounting asexual people here, you'd normally fall in love with people of the sex you're sexually attracted to, so that you'll y'know, be having sex with them. So something seems off to me with the idea of "I can't see myself dating anyone of this gender". If the body parts aren't a problem, what defines a woman or man, in a relationship sense? That's just personality right? And obviously not everyone in the same sex has the same personality. So if you're saying you don't see yourself dating women, isn't that just saying you don't feel like you click romantically with the kind of people most women are? To me it seems like making "I like shy guys" or "I don't like shy guys", into a sexual identity.
You don't find a lot of people saying they're any kind of exclusionary -romantic sexuality other than bisexual heteroromantic either. To me that's either bisexual girls who can't see themselves dating girls since they've been socialized to expect that they'd only ever be with guys, or straight girls that got confused somewhere.

>>78074I used to be very similar but I honestly developed a taste for them as well as PIV sex. It's like my attraction to men and women developed at different rates which was really confusing growing up. I felt romantically and somewhat aesthetically attracted to men but never wanted to do anything sexual with them, but with women the sexual attraction was early and strong. I think the change was a big combination of things. I always figured I was gay and in denial and that scared me, so I didn't explore or push my attraction to men for fear that I'd realize I didn't like them at all, when it actually ended up being the opposite. That probably sounds fucking crazy but maybe some bi farmers know what I mean. So after treating vaginismus, realizing I have a "type" for men, accepting my sexuality no matter what it turned out to be, getting over fear of men and fear of being gay, and being less ashamed of my sexuality, I ended up becoming very physically sexually attracted to men and enjoy fucking them, which honestly wasn't the outcome I was expecting at all. I was really ready to face being gay with ~compulsory hetereosexuality~ but it turned out I really do like dudes but that part of my sexuality had been suffocated with fear and doubt.

>>77432I hate this bullshit so much. Just because you're hypersexual and could find a fucking phone booth sexy doesn't mean you're bi. This is exactly why people are so prejudiced against bisexuals, straight girls playing bi took over the whole term because they thought a supermodel is hot.

men are good for fucking and just overly disappointing beings, women on the other side are wonderful and even tho I hate the idea of marriage and monogamy, from time to time I imagine myself married with a woman and having kids, cooking with her, supporting her and becoming better versions of ourselves together, brushing her hair, putting lipstick on her and kissing her and ofc amazing sex :(

I grew up in a very religious house hold, so naturally I was primed to feel ashamed about normal sexual desires. This is especially true when it came to anything gay/lesbian.
I eventually grew up and rejected my parent's religious beliefs, but by then the damage had been done, and it was impossible to simply unlearn every negative thing I was taught over night. Over the years I have learned to not feel so ashamed when it comes to having sexual desires, but sometimes I think that I am permanently 'damaged' by religion.
I have always found women pretty and I have always found myself sexuality attracted to them. I can definitely see myself having sex with a woman. But I just do not find vaginas sexually appealing. Someone said on here they don't like penises, well, I feel that way about vaginas. In my head, I've always wanted to do everything with a woman possible except eating them out or fingering them (unless they are wearing underwear, then I wouldn't mind fingering them above the fabric).
Back in my "SJW" days I truly bought in to the idea that sexuality was purely a social construct and anyone could be attracted to non-straight people and body parts if they just unlearned everything harmful society taught us. But it's been years since I started my journey of self discovery sans the religion, and I still don't find vaginas attractive. In my journey I have discovered new things about my sexuality, but despite my best 'efforts', I still have never been able to find vaginas attractive. The best I have gotten is I don't find them as repulsive as I once had back in my religious days, but I still just don't like them.
I feel like disliking certain genitals wouldn't be a problem if I was a guy - I've talked with gay and bi men, and they say that not every gay or bi guy is into anal or really into sucking dicks, etc. But I feel like, as a woman, if I say I like women but I don't like vaginas, then I'm "fake". This causes me to feel confused… Do I not like vaginas because of what religion and society taught me? Or am I just over thinking this and it is totally okay and normal for some women to like women but not be attracted to vaginas?

>>78515Honestly don't feel that bad about it, it's not weird. I know there are straight guys that are grossed out by the idea of eating a girl out and etc too. Genitals are fucking weird, it's not that strange to dislike one or both. They were made more for function than beauty and they can be kind of gross. If you ever want to be in a sexual relationship with another woman though, you'd have to at least become tolerant of them.
Have you had sex with a woman before? I used to feel grossed out by vaginas myself, but mellowed out about over time and experience.
No. 78558
>>78556Only because it would be less confusing. Straight people know they're straight because they like the opposite sex and they KNOW they're not gay. When you're bi you spend years questioning if you're really bi or if you're faking half of it. Growing up you feel like both sides of your sexuality have to be perfect mirrors of each other or it's not legitimate, like
>>78515 worrying about her indifference to vaginas making her fake, when tons of ~monosexual~ (hate the word but it's convenient here) don't necessarily like the genitals of their preferred sex but it's still pretty obvious what their orientation is. I've basically had to accept that the bottom line is that I'd be with a man or a woman and the minor differences in how i experience those attractions doesn't really matter.
I still wouldn't want to be gay or straight because being bi feels like a life hack to me. You have the option of that het life but you also literally don't need a man so you can be as picky as you want. Lol no wonder people hate us
No. 79233
>>79230Have you ever had sex with a man? Honestly dicks ARE gross and the idea of straight sex is offputting in theory, but in actuality, as long as the man attached to the dick is not gross, (clean, nice face, your age, reasonable personality) sex is fine. I don't think anyone thinks dicks are sexy, maybe men but not straight women. The fact men try and send the pics like we are supposed to like it is ???
I think it's easy to be a young lesbian just because we are not grossed out by our own bodies, it all makes sense to us VS unfamiliar weird men.
For me the distinction is: I'm only interested in men's personalities in general. Also I want kids, and the fact a man is so different is interesting to me, as well as finding straight sex rewarding in ways gay sex can't be.
After realising that I untrained myself to be bi (like I said it's very easy to be theoretically bi) because both mind and body prefer men in actuality. Preferring women is only in theory. Just offering perspective on this, not trying to say either way is good or bad.
No. 79236
>>79233Good point. I've never had sex with a man, but I've had the opportunity. I never did it though because I haven't liked any of those guys.
I've also experienced sexual assult/harrassment from men, so it might be some sort of trauma and disgust linked to that.
I also have a really sexual female friend who's also bisexual that keeps talking to me about straight things like sucking dick, which is so gross to me and just makes everything worse.
>I'm only interested in men's personalities in general. Also I want kidsI feel the same way tbh. I often find myself attracted to men's personalities because they're more dominant, and most girls aren't. I'd also love to have a nice family with a man. This might be an environmental thing as I was raised in traditional culture.
I guess I should try to work out my issues with sexual assult before I can say 100% sure :/

I've been hearing that 'scissoring' is a myth and that bi/lesbian women don't actually like that. So I have to ask: is it true? Do most bi/lesbian girls really not like 'scissoring'? The reason I ask is because I haven't been with a woman yet, but that's the main thing I would like to do if I ever sleep with one.
I personally cannot get off unless I lay on my stomach and grind up against something firm, like my mattress. The only other way I seem to be able to get off is if I lay on my back and someone grinds up against me, but I've never had a guy do it long enough to see if that's true. They always stopped right as I was getting really into it and would just go straight into PIV sex, which does nothing for me.
I've tried getting off by just rubbing myself like most girls do, but it just isn't enough pressure and feels bad. When I've been with boys in the past, the only thing that felt really good was when they would lay on me and grind up against me. Them fingering me or eating me out didn't do much or anything at all.
I've always thought about how awesome it would feel to find a girl and we could grind up against each other… but the more I read, the more it sounds unlikely because it's something most girls don't like.

>>79730from what I understand it kind of comes down to the bodies of the girls involved. if you're too thin it might be uncomfortable. that's just from what I've heard I unfortunately haven't had the chance to try it yet.

No. 79758
>>79746I guess from what I understand, it's not so much that girls don't grind up against each other, it's more of they don't do it for long, and they can't orgasm from it. Which again sucks, because grinding up against something is the only way I've ever been able to get off.

I used to do it with my friend, it wasn't even completely sexual for us as we were stupid teens fooling around, just something that felt good. Can confirm you can orgasm like this just fine.
Not everyone's willing to try though, especially that there are more pleasurable ways of doing sex.
But it's not impossible or just a lesbian meme.

I'm bi and full of internalised biphobia, please give me advice!
I very infrequently got crushes (on either gender) as a teen and grew up when faking it was what 90% of my peers did, so just kinda assumed it was a myth (ugh) and that thinking girls are hot is just normal and not a bi thing (as mentioned before, I never got crushes on anyone so that in turn meant I never got crushes on girls). These two things made me deny the possibility i was bi until I was an adult (and i'm still not comfortable coming out). I've since had crushes and dated girls so It's not really something i'm confused about, more an insecurity.
I feel huge amounts of shame (and often hide it from my lgbt friends in particular) if i date a guy because i'm terrified i'll look like a 'fake bi'. I never actively look for relationships, so the majority of mine have been hetero since its just more common to bump into straight guys than gay/bi girls, haha. This also makes me doubt myself, like I haven't been able to prove to myself that I'm a good enough bi because I've only dated 2 girls.
Also, my most common reaction to hearing someone is bi is to doubt them because I'm used to fakers, and I hate this about myself.
Do you guys have any advice for this? I hate that i'm untrusting of anyone saying they're bi, and I hate myself every time I get into a het relationship cus I feel everyone is judging me in the exact way that I judge everyone else. I am a horrible person and so massively insecure about my sexuality pls help

>>83338Damn are you me?
I got somewhat past the insecurity by basically being honest and minding my own business. By that I mean, if your sexuality comes up, just say you're bi and leave it at that. If you're not like "i'm so gay you guys!" or "i swear i'm basically straight!" then who has the right to question you? Only people who don't believe in bisexuality at all, which I think you probably believe in by now since you never had an ulterior motive to fake it yet you have these desires very obviously. You're bi. End of story. Which brings me to,
when other people say they're bi, instead of doubting them OR believing them 100%, just accept that you have no idea if they're really bi or really confused or curious. It's something only they can ever know so it's not anything to worry about unless they're asking you for advice or something.
The same applies to straight or gay people! When a dude with a long term gf says he's straight, you have no idea if he secretly has a lot of gay fantasies and may be a closet bi, it's certainly not unheard of, but you probably just more or less take his word for it.
Bisexuality is not a special case. Lots of people fake or don't understand their orientations and preferences. Some people are more blatantly confused or faking than others, but it's just something you can never really know, so it's unreasonable to fully believe or fully doubt what someone tells you about their sexuality.

I feel like a lot of bisexual women just want to hookup with me? They show interest up until the point that they realize I want a serious relationship. :/ Also: observation, it seems like a lot of bi women prioritize male relationships over female ones. Like, they'll 'fool around' with girls, but when it's a guy, she's 'committed'.
No. 85431
>>85389Unfortunately, this has to do with there being more guys available in the dating pool. Take my area for example, there aren't that many bi women here, and the ones that are available are either already in a relationship, or they are not someone I would ever want to date, especially not long term. There aren't many lesbians out here either, and the ones that are available, most of them don't want to date bisexual women. This doesn't leave a lot of options to choose from, unless you want to settle for someone you don't really like.
It's not really surprising that lots of bi women eventually end up in long term relationships with men, since there is a lot more options to choose from. Sad but true.

No. 85445
>>85432It sounds like we're mostly on the same page. I don't think bi woman find other bi/lesbian women "disposable", it's mostly boils down to a numbers game. The fact is, heterosexual people can date and dump a lot of people before they land on "the one". Being heterosexual means you won't have as much trouble finding people that you find attractive, are in your age range, into the same things you are, etc. Of course being able to have biological kids and not having to explain your sexuality is another factor, but I argue that it is not the bigger reason why bi woman end up with guys.
Gay/bi people have it harder because the dating pool is already small as it is. It gets even smaller when you consider things like availability, age gaps, life styles, and finding the person sexually attractive.
Using myself as an example, I browsed a couple of dating sites with bi/lesbian women within 2 hours of my location. I ran into a lot of problems:
1. Age gaps - a lot of women in my area were either way too young or way too old. Maybe some people don't mind huge age gaps, but I do.
2. Sexual attraction. I'm not a model by any means, and my standards are not high. But a lot of the women that were in my age range I just did not find myself attracted to. They were either severely overweight, or they were very butch looking, or they looked like Tumblr SJWs. I'm sure these people were nice, but being blunt, I am not attracted to overweight, butch, or SJW type women. I prefer really feminine women, but for some reason there does not seem to be many of those in my area.
3. Conflicting life styles. If I managed to find a woman that was close in age and attractive, what tended to ruin the chances of a long term relationship was that we have very different life styles. I am not into partying, drinking or drugs. I have a career and I want my partner to have a job as well. I am not interested in being someone's "sugar mama". I am also not interested in dating someone who already has kids. No judgement on people who are into to this stuff, but it's not my thing and not what I want in a long term partner.
This happens every single time I search for bi/lesbians in my area, even when I try looking for women hours away. Meanwhile, I can look for men within 1 hour of my location and I'll have several potential matches that are likely to lead to a long term relationship.
I give some of the bi/lesbian women a chance, but I know it's just going to end in a hookup. It's not because I think the women are disposable, but because they are just not what I want in a long term partner. I'm sure there are women that would make great long term partners, but they aren't in my area or if they are, they're already taken.
Honestly, it really sucks. I'm sure not the only bi woman with this problem.

Anybody here ever been with a man that's scared you'll leave him for a woman? How did you deal with that quelling fear in him and the feeling of misogyny and biphobia that it evokes?
My boyfriend – who I've been with for ~9 months – knows I have a much stronger preference for women; he says himself that he's an "anomaly." I should also note that he IDs as pansexual with a strong preference for women. I genuinely love him, but I know that if we ever broke up I would go back to dating mainly women. I've never told him this, and so I think his fear stems from the fact that my best friend is a lesbian, and him knowing I have a schoolgirl-type innocent crush on 2 female baristas at our local coffee shop.
I have very little interest in ever pursuing anything with my best friend, and I can only see myself ever potentially dating 1 of the 2 baristas I have a crush on should my boyfriend and I ever break up.
And inb4 "you sound like a cheater / if you have crushes on anyone while you're in a relationship, you shouldn't be in a relationship" bullshit, I'm not the type to cheat. In fact, I'm quite content in the relationship I have right now and there's very little I would change about it. I just think those women at the coffee shop are pretty.

>>85449He's always joking about my crush on the baristas, and in fact will one out to me if they happen to be woking that day. Mostly I think he thinks it's funny to watch me try and make casual conversation with them.
He only really brings up this fear of me leaving him (in general, but sometimes he'll mention me possibly leaving him for a woman) when he's tipsy or a little stoned. I assure him pretty much every day that I do see a future with him, etc., usually without prompting and no matter if he's sober or not. He's the first to admit that he's got some deep-rooted insecurities in that area.

And sure he's laughing about it, how else is he supposed to deal with it and not go crazy? It's a way to pretend he's ok with the fact you can't even go to a cafe without developing a crush on some chick.

There was one time that he went there without me and told me later on that one of them said we should all go out for drinks sometime, but he turned her down since I'm 20. I wasn't bothered by it in the least because I hate drinking around most people that aren't him.

do it. you chose him for a reason and at some point frequent reassurance is unhealthy and a need for it is most likely a sign that he doesn't trust or believe in you enough. if you aren't cheating or seeking out those girls behind his back, you aren't doing anything wrong

I took until I was 20 to fully realize it, despite all of the signs being there.
Romantically, I love men and women the same. Sexually, I love women more.
Though, the crushes I have had on women have been a million times more impactful, butterflies in my stomach…heart racing crushes.

>>56468>>145844an answer to all these AM I BI OR LESBIAN!!?!? questions: it's a faux pas to talk about online, but bisexuality can be a stepping stone to lesbianism. if you end up exclusively dating and sleeping with women, then at that point, you are a lesbian. however, if you never date nor sleep with women and only date and sleep with men, then you are straight. if you have dated and slept with both male and female partners and will continue to do so, you are bi.
despite what thought-police twitterfags obsessed with discourse have to say, it's more about what you actually do than what you think. the oppression same-sex-attracted people experience comes from how they act, not what they think about, so labelling yourself should follow the same logic. for example, if you're 300 lbs and you simply fantasize about losing weight and being thin without ever actually doing anything, you're not suddenly considered a thin person, right? you're still just a 300 lb. fatty with dreams.
the reality is many people can view the same sex as attractive in some capacity or another and can fantasize about them, but gay thoughts do not a homosexual make. recognizing your desire is the first step, but actually acting on it is what defines you as homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual.

Did anyone else go to weird lengths to minimize their attraction to women? I've only come to terms with my preference for women this year (and I'm turning 23 soon), but it's been a fucking journey. TMI warning I guess.
Some bullshit I did:
>ease myself into it by first liking femboys as a teen, slowly adding masculine traits to my fantasies (body hair, angular male features, etc.)>would begin masturbating to women, then switch to men to train myself to get off to them>"well, I only like pegging and would hate to be penetrated…but hey, it's str8">at one point, men in my fantasies would only have an asshole and no genitals>socially overcompensate by obsessing over men to increase pressure on myself to like them>draw men often so that I'd find them more appealing with exposureI'm still definitely bisexual, but it's funny how I somehow missed that I did all these (mostly) subconscious things for years. At least I never succeeded in dating a man, or else I'd be one of those anons stuck with someone I love but can never truly be satisfied with. I know I'd be 100% satisfied with a woman and never desire men again, but it wouldn't be the same with a guy.
>>145853You're describing febfem, anon.
The difference is that a bisexual woman can still choose to be with a man and be relatively happy, but lesbians cannot. It's a privilege to have that choice and we can never have the true lesbian experience because of it.

>>145861bi people can get married, of course, but if they will no longer continue to participate in homosexual relationships, they are effectively straight. they will not experience any of the oppression that people in homosexual relationships experience. what significance does your attraction to the same sex hold if you're married to the opposite sex? assuming you are faithful and monogamous, you will not act on it because you intend on being with your partner for the rest of your life, so it has no impact on you, your partner, your relationship, the world at large or societal treatment of you. you could describe yourself as previously bisexual if you have a history of romantic and sexual relationships with both men and women. truly, you can self-describe as whatever you want on an individual level– for many (but not all), sexuality is not as immutable as people insist it is– but when it comes to defining the term to create a protected class in the eyes of institutions, a bisexual person is someone who has the continuing intention of dating and having sex with same-sex and opposite-sex partners. you can't bestow or deny someone rights for what they think, only for how they act, which is why the label should be hinged on behavior and not simply attraction.

>Do you have a preference for feminine men when you date them because you like women, or was going through that process solely to "ween" yourself from the attraction to women?I didn't date them, and I think it's a mix of both. The attraction that's there I tried to foster into being bigger.
I guess when it comes down to it I'm just too bisexual to be a lesbian but too into women to function in a straight relationship…

99% sure i'm in love with my best friend, but i'm also not freaking out about it because i might just never tell her, i feel like i can't afford to lose her as a friend.
the dumbest thing is that i adore her, she's my pefect woman, beautiful and talented and funny and generous, she's also bi, we respect and appreciate each other the same amounts and she thinks i'm hot too. part of what motivates me in my current self-improvement drive is wanting to be cute and accomplished enough to be her girlfriend.
I wouldn't even know what to do if she kissed me, i might go into a coma. Why am I living in a cliche? what do i do???

Hey thanks for replies anons x
>>146159We're both single and consistently disappointed in men. I'm not looking for a relationship right now cos i need to work on myself but actually I think it could work with her? Because she needs and wants the same thing??
By 'signs of interest' she's never made a concrete move, but she tells me she loves me all the time and tells me how hot i am when we're drunk. She asks me what to do when she's lonely and touch starved and i say 'make a hot water bottle' because i'm a coward.
Yes I do hear myself and i'm sorry.
>>146172>she probably wouldn't want to lose the friendship eitherI don't think she would and I respect her too much to be an asshole if she turns me down, but, I'm a coward.
She's also said she feels like she's outgrown all other friends except me, so I don't want to make her last friendship weird.
She's the first female friendship I've had in a long time and it's something I've always felt insecure about, so I want to enjoy it platonically for at least a bit longer.
>>146242The dumbest thing is that I have next to no problem asking strangers for their numbers or otherwise being very forward, sometimes with women but always with men. I don't have any experience turning a friendship into a relationship.

Does anyone go through periods where they prefer one gender for a while, and then switch to preferring the other, and like go back and forth? This happens often with me being mostly interested in guys for like a month then having all my attention on women, sometimes it makes me confused on whether I'm actually straight or a lesbian or if it's just normal for a bi person.
No. 149213
>>149207This reminded me of something that happened to me years ago. I had psych appointments every 3 months to check that my anxiety meds were working. At one of the appointments I met a brand new psych and was asked my sexuality. I answered straight because I was caught off guard and didn't want to discuss my sexuality. It really bothered me afterwards and I wished I had asked why they even needed to know.. 3 months later at an appointment with yet another stranger I'm asked again and I say lesbian just because I had my gf sitting in the waiting room so..
Well after that they spoke to me about how I had an 'unstable sense of self' and they were looking into possible personality disorder based on my changing answer. I don't want to disclose my sexuality to a new psch I met ten mins ago! but I also don't have the guts to refuse an answer lol
I still just have anxiety. Nothing thankfully came from it.

>>149435you can define yourself however you want but GENERALLY sexuality = your desire to have sex with someone.
if you would willingly have sex with the opposite gender + same gender you're bi. if you would willingly have sex with only the opposite gender you're straight. if you would willingly have sex with only the same gender you're gay.

So I'm many years into being sexually active with men and still weirdly questioning because I suppose the attraction isn't the same compared to how much I want to hands on explore a woman.

>>151273sorry for the long post, but my only advice for finding other queer woman is to find someone bi, lol. being bicurious and sticking to bi women (especially those who are bi4bi) is easier tbh, because imo they’re way more likely to understand you and not take offence if you realise you’re not actually into women romantically. i’ve heard of way too many bi/bicurious girls being verbally abused by gold star lesbians who think all bi women are just straight women deep down, but def take this with a grain of salt because i’m pretty biased, lol.
tbh with the religious parents part it really depends. i’m guessing you mean heavily religious, more conservative religious parents? in which case - be ready to have your (potential) bisexuality invalidated and/or ignored, and be ready to deal with the bs stigma that comes with bisexuality (slutty, diseased, etc). most importantly, though, i’d really recommend looking out for yourself and prioritising your safety. if you don’t think it’s a good time to come out, don’t do it. if you don’t think it’s a good idea until you’re potentially in a serious relationship with a woman, then definitely wait. you know your parents best, though, so this might not be that helpful. good luck figuring everything out though anon!

I'm very much sexually attracted to women but I feel like dating them would be a waste of time considering my desire for a family and to be protected. It's also frustrating to me that lesbian sex can't be 'mutual' in the same way that PIV or male-on-male PIA can be, which makes me worry that sex with another woman wouldn't be entirely enjoyable because I'd be really conscious of the fact that one of us wasn't feeling anything.
I mainly get off to my partner being pleasured so if I did have sex with a woman I'd probably be a 'stone top' which wouldn't be very satisfying to me. Also I really like penetration but a woman could only do that with a toy or with her hand which I could already just do on my own.

>>151616The problem is you're giving scrote's opinions WAY too much credit. That's it. Don't talk to them about your sexuality, don't argue in your head with their stupid soundbites that they've forgotten saying, don't try to convince them of anything. Straight men's opinions and your actions/feelings are a whole universe apart.
I say this as somebody who was very hurt when my ex boyfriend told me I wasn't 'really' bisexual because (at the time) I hadn't slept with any women. Then I realized he was just talking bullshit about things he knew nothing about, as usual. The kicker was that he was always extremely, confidently straight, AND I TOOK HIS VIRGINITY. He didn't need experience to confirm his sexuality, but I did apparently. He even said he wished he was bisexual because they 'had more options'. That should have clued me in to how little he knew about bisexuality.
Work out where the judgement is actually coming from, and learn not to care. If you're pre-judging yourself based on what you think others are thinking? Fine, you can just work on your insecurities. From cumbrained scrotes? Literally not even worth considering. Bitter gatekeeping lesbians? Not anything to do with you.

No. 163911
>>163422Because being bi isn't as cut and dry as "I will never be sexually attracted to men, therefore my family and friends will have no choice but to get over it at some point." There's always the pressure, a lot of times perceived, to get married to a man and have kids with only him. And it's like, you're not straight so you're still an outsider to that culture, too. It will never fit you like a glove the way it will for actual straight people.
The irony is that straight man + bisexual woman is a terrible fucking combo.
Being bisexual is like being an alien when you realize the truth is that the vast majority of people are literally only attracted to one sex or the other and can't imagine doing both. Anyway as time goes by I accept the possibility of giving my parents a stroke by ending up with a woman. Men are a chore to deal with, and my past experiences with male retardation have left me becoming less and less sexually attracted to them. I wonder how much of the "bi woman ends up with a man" thing has to do with major insecurities anyway.

God i want to shove my face in some pussy
I never liked the idea of dating girls, even when I realized I want to fuck them. Part of it is that I like cock too much, but I think its also because I've developed feelings for female friends before that I always suppressed as soon as I felt them… Like for example, I'm with my pal and I think damn she looks good in that dress… NO! BAD ANON! THATS YOUR FRIEND!
It's like I can't be emotionally close with a female and attracted to her at the same time. One of my best friends, man, there's something there but I just can't let those feelings blossom, thats a boundary I can't push. And she's also bisexual but that just makes it worse. Just the thought of touching her or being romantic with her repulses me because I can't see her in that way. But there's something there! I fucking hate this. Why can't I catch romantic feelings for a random girl who isn't my friend? Not that I want ti meet new people. I have a male fwb and that's enough for me, for now. God. This post started out as a rant about wanting to eat pussy then I had my epiphany of why I dont want to date girls.
I've never even fucked a girl before. Ive just made out with them at a sleepover once, but I was like 13 so that doesnt count. I've been doubting my bisexuality because I have no real experience and no desire to have a girlfriend but THATS starting to change too… Just yesterday I was thinking about how comfy it would be to chill in my imaginary girl's room and doing whatever…
Sorry for this rambling mess but I can't tell anyone else about this. I just need to fuck a girl to confirm that I really like them and I'm not just a bored straight girl.

I’m more often attracted to women. I mostly fantasize about women. But they are almost always straight.
Slept with a butch woman but wasn’t super attracted to her personality. Same going to lesbian bars, I never attracted the type of women I like. Only once have I met a lesbian who I was 100% about who liked me. The timing didn’t work out at all, but I still think about her years later. Like I have no way of even talking to her now and I want to punch myself in the face.
Mostly I’ve had relationships with men. I’m not at all attracted to very masculine men, and I’m pretty happy with the men most straight women reject. So it makes homosexual dating extremely easy for me.
If more women were gay and my family more accepting of homosexual relationships, I would easily be exclusively with women. Oh well, c’est la vie.

>>171410An awful lot of the secretive bi experiences I've had shared with me were affairs. In a way I can see how they were driven to be secretive but being secretive WHILE dating someone already makes it this incredibly shitty (and health risking) thing for the woman which in turn will make her distrust bi men if the guy is caught. It's such a mess but men messing around with crossdressers and other men sometimes feel entitled to cheat because they use that shaming as a way to justify it to themselves.
Being open would help fix that weird cycle of it creating distrust and being used as the most messed excuse to fuck around, but I think men will stay in their comfort zone of having an unaware gf and just hitting up Grindr the odd time while 'working late'

I think she has completely forgotten about it, since I'm a schizoid autist I don't date, so I'm not really open about my sexuality, but still it stings to see she doesn't really listen to me. I've also always been very vocal about never getting married and having kids since early childhood, to which she was always supportive, but recently she's been saying things like "never say never, you don't know what can happen", which always gets on my nerves. If I ever date a woman I'll never tell her (or my dad for that matter), I know she doesn't like lesbians and my parents don't want to understand what bisexuality is at all.
No. 172804
>>172803sorry in advance for a long and corny reply but i can't really answer your question properly because though i'm more interested in women, i'm currently in a relationship with a bi man. i did just wanna say though that i don't think you need to worry too much about bi women with a male preference judging you or having any negative feelings about you - i have a mix of bi friends who lean either way in terms of preference, but there's no judgement or anything like that. i think it's easier to bond over our shared experiences than it is to nitpick our differences in things like gender attraction or whatever. from my experiences, i've also seen the opposite from bi women with a preference in men - they tend to worry a lot that bi women with a preference for women will judge them for being 'bihet' or whatever that stupid phrase is, so i hope that helps in making you feel a little less under a microscope to know that it's a shared experience. i hope this doesn't come off as me trying to be like 'oh well who cares lol everyone feels that way' - definitely not what i'm trying to do!
also, your point about much of the discussion in bisexual female spheres surrounding men is really interesting, and it's not something i've realised before. i assume it tends this way because it's hard to distinct ourselves and form our own community away from lesbians by talking solely about women, but so much of the discourse in bi spaces also revolves around men (like 'you're still bi if you've only been with men or if you prefer men!') because of the general LGB discourse that tends to label bisexuals as 'not gay enough'. in general, i'm also sorry that you feel excluded because of this - i feel like that's something really important that i've never seen discussed in bi spaces before, and i hope it's focused on more.

>>173540idk anon. Hetero-leaning bisexuals definitely exist, sometimes to the point where they wouldn't even want to date a woman.
But yeah, unless you choose to be febfem, dating in some places will force you to end up with a man. That's why lesbians in LDR's is such a meme. When I considered men, I'd just talk to dudes in my classes, but now I become mutuals with a gay girl in a different country and think "wow, we're on the same continent…….could she be The One?"

Men actively chase women, they're upfront and they're many. With women dating women you have so much homophobia and it's just hard to find one like I said.

This question made me think about the concept of ”being out” for the first time in years.
I’m 25 yo at the moment and have been very secure with my identitety as a bisexual since my teens. I have dated both men and women. People around me have been fine with it because it’s just a given fact at this point.
Actually I have been openly bisexual at my two recent workplaces too. It was mostly because I had openly gay co-workers so it was natural to me to talk about my relationships too.

Never posted to this site before, excuse the weird formatting (and feel free to delete this post mods if rants like this aren't allowed)
this may sound pretty stupid to some but I'm reluctant to even call myself a bisexual or even talk about these things to people because of how overly-romanticized and fetishized gay relationships are now . I'm a woman who's always had a pretty bad porn addiction, and I solely look at images of women. I've never looked at porn of men, but if i were to have a relationship preference it would be more towards men, but I don"t mind being in relationships with women either.
I'll never tell certain people in my life about how I feel. I've ranted to them enough times about how tiring it is to hear mutuals going through some sort of sudden "lesbian attention seeking phase" for me to be seen as a "real one" (funny how no one will care about gay people until they realize it could benefit them, so they'll call themselves lesbian just so people can flock to them and praise how unique and progressive they are.Not like the other girls am I right? )
I'd love to be seen as just normal. but I feel like a fucking embarrassment if I ever talk about or explore these things. It's already cringey enough to see all the tumblr shit, but when people constantly start bringing it up irl it feels fucking confusing and even more stressfyl,
not to mention if I ever did talk to the people in my life about myself, people will change how they see me, either for betteer or worse. I could either be fetishised by people who will only see me for that and not for who I am as a person, or just have mild disgust thrown at me at people who'll feel uncomfortable with homosexuality, or believe I do so for attention
I've never even related to many people who were so outward about being LGBT. I have many opinions and preferences that don't match up with theirs, why do I feel like a fucking alien compared to them?
No. 174810
>>174809I just wanna say I relate. However when it comes down to it, people simply care about defining a category too much. And that generates all these opinions about who's
really bi, or faking, etc. I know it's easier said than done, but we would all be better off caring less what others think. Because other people will always form their own view that may not match your reality. I think it speaks volumes enough that you care about this, that you care not to seem fake or act attention-seeking — you aren't that way. When we see so many people being like that, it gets us acting careful not to be that way but you can't let it keep you from being yourself. I think there's a tactful way to go about it. Obviously you're not gonna run around town and the internet screeching how gay lulz you are (unless you wanna, then who cares what people think?) and you can still be modest about it while talking to the people in your life about your experience. You really are bisexual and if you want to talk about that, then you should, and you can just keep it authentic. If people judge you for reasonably discussing something true about yourself, then that's kinda on them. Sorry I hope this helps. It's how I try to approach this, because I feel similar. Really being bi doesn't come into play for me in life until I'm crushing on a girl or wanting to date one, since I don't talk about my sexuality on social media. Only when it applies to my life is when I need to personally, but at the same time like you are now, if I want to talk about it with someone then it should be okay to do so. You can get through this queen

and yeah if it ever came to me having to out myself I'd always try to be as authentic and modest as possible, since at that point I can't hold back anymore about myself
honestly the social media thing is another thing too.I once knew someone who freshly broke up with yet another boyfriend only to then put her sexuality as lesbian a day later in her twitter bio. she removed that a week later lmao
No. 174846
>>174809Is it possible you just have general shame around your attraction to women and are projecting a bit? Especially since it's associated with your past porn-addiction? If you're secure in yourself then others taking pride in their homo/bisexuality shouldn't bug you so much.
I'm only guessing, but many are likely doing so to combat their own experiences with homophobia or just because they're young and excited to find out how they fit in to the world. Some (eg. artists who draw a fuckton of gay women and tweet about it a lot) may also just want to create representation, remembering that they wish they had it when they were young and ashamed.
As for the "lesbian attention seeking phase," are you worried that your friends will do the same to you that you did to these women? Some people will never believe a woman is truly attracted to other women even if she marries one and is out as bi for decades, so it's irrelevant. Bihets may make us look bad, but if someone is set on disliking bisexuals they will regardless. I agree with other anon that it would be ideal if we could all disregard the opinions of others more often (something I struggle with myself).
No. 174853
>>174846maybe it is partially me having shame, but I don"t have any shame in the porn part though I've just kind of accepted that in some ignorant/oblivious way lmao.
what I mean by the lesbian phase thing with friends is that people treat it as an "aesthetic" that you can just pick up, in what looks like an attention-seeking way sometimes. idk.To me when I hear someone say "I just wish I was a lesbian instead of straight" constantly followed by "ew men , theyre all disgusting pigs" comments, even though theyve crshed very hard on many guys, it feels disingenuous
like, if they are actually lesbian or at the least bi, idc, I wouldnt treat them as anything less, I just feel like theres better ways to come out rather than sayin "uggh, men so icky, I want to be a cottagecore lesbian" all the time .

I'm kind of mad that it seems like she's just been bi all this time but chose to label lesbian bc oppression points? I've been side-eyed all these years by my friends after telling them I was bi with their reasoning being I haven't dated a female (I had terrible anxiety from years of non-related bullying) and my first relationship is currently long-term with a male (that happened after I got into a healthier state in my life). Meanwhile, she gets a pass because she has a lesbian flag on her twitter page and talks about how pretty females are?
I feel fucking insane when sexuality gets discussed in my friend circle and she just brings up how it's ~so haaaard to date as a pure lesbian~ but I can't bring up any contradicting shit she's said/done or else I'm being an unsupportive homophobic friend.
No. 174901
>>174880imo she is not even bi, she is your average straight girl. as far as identifying as lesbian, it might be because of oppression points or it could be that the gays she is hanging out with really dislike straight women and don't keep quiet about it. or maybe it's because she doesn't want to be called a fag hag.

I had one ex in particular who would give me the silent treatment or huff and puff if too much time passed since we last did anal stuff, but the reason behind that was mess. There had been mess in the past and he refused to simply prep to take away some of that risk. What the hell did he expect? For me to happily play around in his shit? I'm not talking about small accidents either. I seriously want to talk to a therapist some day about the whole experience but how do you have a convo about something so gross.

I don't get it, I find some men hot and I can sometimes fantasize about whatever lewd stuff with them but when it comes to the real thing I hardly even enjoy cuddling with them so I can't bring myself to go beyond that and actually have sex with them.

>>174628 except instead of being memed into finding men repulsive in general I have just been memed into thinking sex with men is bad. Or maybe I am just more socially awkward around men and need more time to feel comfortable doing anything sexual with them? And as far as relationships go, I can hardly ever imagine a long-term romantic relationship with a man, whenever I think about that stuff my mind just defaults to women but again I don't know if this is a genuine feeling or something I memed myself into after consuming too much yuri. I don't even know if this is actually an issue I should be concerned about or if I am overthinking it. I hope this doesn't sound too silly, it just confuses me sometimes.

It felt like I signed up to date one guy but ended up with someone very different. His treatment of me got bad in other ways, sexual and non-sexual. The dynamic changed and I was stuck in a lease with him.

>>175203It's definitely a thing in online spaces and generally people assume that if you're a bi woman you MUST have had sex with/dated men and that if you've only had sex with/dated women you're an ~evil gold star or "technically" a virgin because two women fucking isn't real sex (I've heard this from bi men). It's just not the same as bi women who've never fucked another woman because that's not uncommon the way this is and M/F relationships are more common by a huge margin. The discussion in a lot of bi spaces is pretty much always about opposite sex attraction and people assuming you're straight because you're dating a man. Not all of us have that experience and it can get alienating. I don't mean for this post to sound aggressive but it's frustrating.

I did date another girl in high school, but of course they thought we were just friends. It’s not ideal since you can’t be your authentic self. Having to hide a kiss on the cheek or a cutesy text gets old real quick.
It’s better to work on yourself before pursuing a relationship anyway. I know it’s a boring answer, but being independent and having your shit together will make your future relationships much more healthy. You won’t feel inclined to lower your standards and you’ll be more confident in pursuing the type of person you really want.

We've had some moments that felt really intimate to me but I often feel like I'm imagining it because as I said, she's so overfamiliar with people. It feels like every time we interact it means a lot more to me than it does to her. She's said emotionally vulnerable things to me and made me feel special but now I wonder how many other people are delusionally pulled to her like this.
Not saying she's doing this on purpose at all but it's not the first bi woman that has been able to cut through all my defenses and completely broke my brain. I guess I keep answering my own question, she's just yas kweening me and I'm eating it up in the wrong way.

On the other hand if she's a touchy feely outgoing person she might be more direct when hitting on you.

>>175693Hard disagree, disclaimer I'm bi but I think sitting your parents down and coming out (as anything but especially as bi) is cringey and attention seeking, when you're not with a partner.
"Mom, dad, just letting you know I think about women when I fap sometimes." is what you're saying. Why do they need to know that? It's literally not their business who you're attracted to, I promise you they don't want to acknowledge you're a sexual being at all, and it doesn't affect their lives in any way, not until there's an actual human woman in your life they have to get along with.

>>178327Just to piggyback, I’ve had a lot of positive group sex experiences, but I avoid talking about them (even in situations where it’d be appropriate to talk about) because I don’t like to feed into the stereotypes that all bisexuals like group sex. In my experience, most of the people interested in group sex are straight men with semi-bicurious girlfriends or wives, along with single men. There are almost no bisexual women in the “lifestyle” groups I attend parties with. The ones that do exist get mobbed by horny dudes right away, which usually puts them off the whole experience forever.
It annoys me that talking about my enjoyment of group sex is sometimes read as “I knew it! I knew all bisexuals were non-monogamous sluts!” because in my own experience I am the exception, not the rule. There’s a reason they call it “unicorn hunting” to try to find a bisexual woman in these circles.

>>179248Was literally just thinking that this week. Hopefully this doesn't sound extremely dumb but I often feel very "male" in places with a lot of women who say they're bi because my attraction to women is very sexual? Which, of course it is, but I rarely see these women express any hint of that kind of interest. Maybe it's because they don't want to come off like they're objectifying other women, but to me it feels like more than that. I saw on Twitter this bi activist girl talking about how she didn't want to eat pussy and I guess I was just kind of mind-blown.

I don't know what i am.
I'm mostly straight and a fujo, 3d porn is rare and is mostly solo of both sexes. I had wet dreams with men and women.
I only had crushes with boys when i was growing up, but most of the time i check women out (their breasts, their legs, their asses). In general, is more common for a woman to make my pussy throb (i know it sounds disgusting and scrote-like, i am ashamed but it's how i feel) than a man. The few times i was intimate with men i was bored out of my mind. I like dicks but men themselves are meh. I like women in general and sometimes i get really… possessive and jealous (?) but i don't know if that's attraction or just plain old autism.
I'm thinking that when covid is over i'll go to a lgbtbbq bar and see if i like pussy. For me that's the ultimate test to see i'm straight or bi. Like, i'm not repulsed by vaginas, some smell nice, but i don't know if i would like the taste.
But on the other hand i don't want to go to a lesbian or bigirl and "use" her for a one night stand to figure out my sexuality.
Would it be okay to go to a lesbian and lgbt bar, and if a woman is interested in me, would it be okay to tell her that i'm only there because i'm questioning?
No. 179386
>>179379>i am ashamed but it's how i feelNo need to be ashamed of liking the same sex. I'm a BPDfag and I get weirdly jealous too.
Anyway, I think it's more common for bi people to prefer the opposite sex (there was a graph on /lgbt/ a few months ago but I haven't been able to find it since). I prefer the same sex and wouldn't be offended at all if someone wanted to hook up if they were questioning. It seems totally normal. Ngl, I'm always into it when I talk to girls who want to explore because it's fun regardless and there isn't that pressure of worrying about dating or being ghosted or whatever. The difference is I usually meet people on apps because I'm too shy about going to a bar and worry nobody would talk to me kek.

Do you have some fantasy that women will lust after you and you have to turn them down?
Women, in general, don't really make the first move (and that's why wlw dating scene sucks) so I wouldn't be "worried" about having to fight off the pussy left and right.
>i don't want to go to a lesbian or bigirl and "use" her for a one night stand to figure out my sexuality.lesbians HATE when questioning girls do this shit.
It's okay to experiment with your sexuality but lesbians don't want to deal with that shit. Make out with your straight friend like everyone else.

I have gay male friends on grindr and the bi men on there are closeted as fuck and sneaking out on their gfs. Shit will hit the fan if that ever gets out. Compare that with the comfy option of bi women dating a man, getting all that social acceptance of fitting the norm..then fucking other women and their bf actually counting themselves lucky that she does that. Just makes her hotter. Win-win for the gf. I hate being the side fuck though. You can enter that set up feeling prepared but you nearly always get screwed over in some way.

I'm a switch at heart but I was like sure sounds great because she was hot as fuck, except the weird thing was she wanted me to fuck her bf on my own first without her there. Then I guess I didn't arrange to meet him in time and she got jealous and blocked me. It honestly sounds like a catfish scenario when I write it out except I have proof that it wasn't, but regardless I found it disappointing. I might try and go on apps again this summer so I can arrange something similar, which ones are best to find these girls? Sorry for rambling btw.

>>180500Yeah, in reverse.
Puberty and a porn addiction made me horny 24/7 for almost everyone regardless of sex and body type. But as I reach my mid-twenties and no longer watch porn, I'm almost exclusively into women. My first crushes were on women so that feels about right to revert back to the time before hormones went crazy. I was also obese back then which may have fucked them up even more.
My libido is still embarrassingly high for a woman tbh, but less like I imagine a man's may be where I see everyone sexually all the time.
Overall, I'm grateful I'm extremely inhibited (and was fat) so I never did anything with anyone, especially men, back then. Being a coombrain is one thing, but sharing it with someone else would have been cursed to have to remember.

I started dating again after a breakup from long term (hetero) relationship and oh god I'm so nervous
I've talked with three women from tinder and I'm seeing two of them next week.
Number 1 is someone I'm not that into but she asked me out. I'm a horrible person but I thought it would be practical to hook up with a person I'm not that interested in if I'm awkward. I haven't been with a woman in a long time.
I'm a nervous wreck BUT I can't cancel the plans. I have never been that nervous about guys.
I'm questioning if I'm leaning towards lesbianism (my recent relationship had many signs of compulsory heterosexuality) BUT I like dick. I have just more intense feelings for women than men.
I thought I had very stable identitety as a bisexual so switching the label means pointless at this time. Also, lesbians have this strong gate keeping mentality.
Recently I discovered some painful feelings when I was watching lesbians tiktoks and I was so damn jealous that I can't experience that kind of love, and what if I can? I felt like I had to "settle" for a man because I can't get a wife. Why can't I?
will I die as a lonely old woman?
There's not too many wlw's. When my friends describe the feelings they have for their boyfriends I wonder if I'm ever going to experience mutual love.
I loved my ex-partner but felt that my feelings were more friendship-like. Sex was good and we had a good time but I was never in love. Actually, transition from relationship to friendship was very smooth and I'm really happy about that. I wish that he will find a nice girl who isn't crazy lesbian like me.
Maybe I should move abroad and try my luck in some international university areas. There must be lot of lesbians, right?
I live in Finland and I'm pretty sure that there's lot of academic lesbians who want a visa in Finland. We got FREE infertility treatments for lesbian couples!! basically everyone is polite towards lesbians, I have had openly gay workmates even in my shittiest low wage jobs. I had a fucking real neo-nazi ex-convict as a workmate and even he was cool with lesbians (he hated everyone not-Aryan race but white lesbians were non-issue). Our national hero Tove Jansson is lesbian and everyone loves her.
Okay, that sounds even more desperate than I really am.
Any tips for tinder dates? I'm not THAT into the person number 1 so I can mess it up. No panic, I'm not going to marry her so it does not matter if I'm nervous wreck.
I've had a lot of dates with guys and I don't usually get anxious before dates. If the guy does not like me, who cares? There's a line outside waiting. Ironically, I've been very popular among men bc I'm chill and mostly date nerdy guys.
I miss cons bc it's huge ego boost to be the alpha female in nerd circles.
Like, in typical bar setting I'm 8ish but board game convention: solid 10.
Yeah, I'm not lesbian either, I enjoy the attention of nerd guys too much. Ah, the only good type of men. I feel sorry for women who are into chad dudebro types.
I wish I could drink and ease the tension during our date. I have strong medication that don't mix well with drinking.
My first date, the girl i'm not that into, said that she has been sober 4 months. yeah, that sounds like a major red flag because only addicts say shit like that.
But I'm not going to marry her. I'm going to have awkward sex so I don't mess things up when I met a girl I REALLY like.

>>181096>Bisexual talking about how lesbians are treatedThat neo-nazi probably would've treated you a lot worse if you were actually a lesbian and in a gay relationship. Bisexuals tend to forget that they always have straight-passing privilege because homophobes assume you're identifying as one for the attention or are simply confused in case you're in a straight relationship, but gay people they consider to be full degenerates born from the devil. While lesbians have equal rights from a legal point of view, they are still either fetishized, ostracized or straight out hated by the common man outside of the woke circles. I'm also from Finland and very familiar by my own and all of my lesbian friends' experiences.

How do yall think Bis can be reprisented in media? as in showing -not just here-say?
You cant have them show intrest in only the same gender otherwise itll be seen as a gay relationship, and only displaying intrest in the opposite gender is seen as a straight one.

Cheating storylines suck in general.
I'd like for more media to actually say the word bisexual instead of gay/lesbian if the character is BI, and also please stop with the ~I don't like labels~. It's overplayed and the rejection of the bisexual label should no longer be encouraged because it has not done us any good.

I need some help.
I experience aesthetic attraction to both men and women. Facially, I experience more intensity to men because of angularity, his stubble, whatever. However, it's pretty rare. I think women are better looking on average. I find men either swing hard as 8+s or 4s, most men are below 5. Women are in that 6-7.5 range at all times for me. I get crushes on men more often (they're pretty rare), but they're mild. They're kind of puppylove/honeymoon phase and they die instantly when reciprocated or he says something vile (which is every f'ing time). I like the idea of being with some blue-collar, dad-bod sweetheart type. Never had one show interest. The few crushes I get for women are intense and built on close friendship, but I haven't had it in years. In that time, everything about her becomes more beautiful, not just physically, but every little quip and giggle. I cling to the idea this might happen with a man, but never has. I'm in my 20s. Why can't I just let it go?
Once in a blue moon, and I mean every few years, the sight of a man flexing his arms or shirtless might send burning through me, but it's not downstairs. It is still very intense, but short-lived and fills me with shame. I have, however, felt that feeling downstairs at the sight of of a woman's nape, breasts, or hips moving while she walks. I haven't felt that since I was young either.
I have no idea if I'm bi. les. or ace.
I get feelings for men, but they end abruptly and are not sexual. Sexual acts with men feel wrong and I want to bolt. I can't stand how rough a man's hands feel or his smell. I don't feel that with women, but the feelings aren't as strong at first and take many months to surpass what I initially feel for men at first. I don't feel anything for either at first glance though, so that makes me at least on the Ace spectrum. I have no idea if this brief time I experienced sexual? attraction makes me something else.

Anyway, for what it's worth I id as bi and also only fantasize about men but am repulsed in reality. I have never kissed or dated them as a result. Not for lack of opportunity…I just lose interest when it gets real. Male friends are cool though so it's not out of hatred.
This may be unpopular due to comphet discourse, but I think you can't be a lesbian if you have ever enjoyed fantasies of men. Doesn't matter if you can only date women irl, you're bisexual on some level. Bisexual thought crimes are real.
But that's just my onion. In the end it's up to you to identify yourself.

Plenty of them are critical of it.
Honestly the popularity of the comphet shit is sad, the vast majority of women who are claiming comphet are just bisexuals with a preference for women, but instead of acknowledging that they ID as lesbians. I don't necessarily blame them since I was actually the same way until very recently, but bisexual women preferring women should be more normalized.

>>182620, and the reason why I'm confused is because every hetero, homo, and bisexual person I've met experience attraction at first sight, and it's extremely strong and obvious. They have no problem swiping right on Tinder to someone they've never met, they KNOW when they find someone attractive on appearance alone. I do not. My friends had partners like revolving doors, always dating someone; actively having sex and wanting it regularly.
I feel attraction to one or two people every couple of years, it doesn't involve their body. I'm attracted to their face and the chemistry, body might come later, and when it does, it's only in the moment. I don't have an active attraction when I'm not in the presence of that person. I don't go home and think about them (outside of the butterflies from conversation) or masturbate to the thought of them. The attraction I feel is purely sensual, and this is even rarer. Photography of erotic light brushes of the skin is the only thing that does something for me, and it lasts two seconds. I can't exactly parade myself as bisexual if I can't stay aroused for more than a second in order to do "the dance" with someone, anons.

>>182946fwiw i am more like you than not. i'd say i experience strong attractions but they're not so common and i've never joined tinder because i don't feel anything just looking at some random person's photos. i have to interact with someone a few times to give a shit about them as a potential romantic or sexual partner, and most people look neutral-to-ugly to me before i start seeing them as attractive. the ones that immediately look attractive to me on first sight, i still do not fantasize about or want to get to know just based on their physical appearance. i've never once masturbated while thinking of actual people, and certainly not people i know.
maybe you're bi and have a really low sex drive?
No. 182986
>>182984Mostly because it's seen as desirable for women to be bi (or, at least, pornsick men think it's hot) and people mistakenly think being bi makes you 'open minded' or more woke somehow. And also it's impossible to really say that someone ISN'T bisexual. Like if you claimed to be lesbian but dated men you'd get called out pretty fast, but how can you know if someone is bi in a straight relationship or straight? You can't. So combo of motivation to appropriate bisexuality + ease of appropriation = "everyone is a little bi."

>>182954I've seen women call themselves bisexual because they like boobs but then vaginas are a hard limit. I do think that seeing sexual imagery of women everywhere plays a large role in it. I think women objectively have the body type that draws in more attention. Curves catch the eye more. So if straight women are honestly just mistaking that for sexual attraction then I feel for them to a degree. It's hard to escape the sight of womens bodies plastered everywhere and made to look as appealing as possible.

>>183159the issue with regards to pansexuality is that there are only two biological sexes. so even if you agree that pansexuality is when you're willing to date nonbinary people or whatever, that doesn't make it a different sexuality. so-called nonbinary people are still male or female, whether or not you want to date them is a personal preference and not a distinct sexuality. like i might be only open to dating men or women with brown hair, but that doesn't make me monohaircoloursexual or someone who doesn't care if their partner is blonde panhaircoloursexual. at worst it's annoying preachy 'open-minded-er than thou' shit and at best it's just confusing what sexuality is as a concept.

I don't know if this is controversial, but I think if you're a girl and you like a girl who is a tomboy, it can still be straight because you are attracted to her masculine qualities and not her being a girl.

>>183866I think gay men could like a tomboy for the masculine qualities, we all have a masculine and feminine side. And my mother is a straight woman, but she has liked a dyke type girl before, so it is a straight woman thing to occasionally like boyish girls.
I think women are less visual so even if you like a woman a little, it's not because it's gay or they look like a woman, but because of their qualities and how they make you feel. Like Sofia Vergara in the smurfs movie, and you might think 'I know she would be exciting to be around and she's elegant and probably smells excellent', but that's it. Everyone has exceptions. Also, I'm not gay because I am disgusted by homosexual attraction, and if I were I would be happy about it. But it's involuntary and disgusting and often goes away if I feel disgusted enough.

And I hate that.Its all the 14 y/old she/they/bi artists on tiktok/other SM who dont want to be like "de other girlz" and scream about how it's hard being in their shoe and then using sexuality as a "pass" for something and its also a large reason why I turn away from my own comunity. So much insecurity or jerking around. Absolute Worst part is straight after becoming "A bicon queen" they post fucking cringy, preachy shit on Instagram (image relevant.)
Do not even get me started with when an anime character is revealed as Bi.or a youtube personality, or anyone being bi.people go batshit insane and things get disastrous and toxic fast.Why doesn't this happen with Lesbian/Gays as often as with us??

Is it possible to be bisexual but dick repulsed, despite never even trying dick? I only had sex one time with a girl when I was a teen, I never dated or fucked men. I was never molested or raped. I often have crushes on male actors and I fantasize about them more often than about women. It's weird because I'm really attracted to their faces and their bodies but I don't want to think about their dicks. I can get really wet just fantasizing about cuddling and kissing with a guy, grinding against him, humping his thigh or him giving me oral sex, but when I think about his crotch there's nothing there, like he was a doll lol. I never fantasize about any kind of penetration; dick, finger, toy, doesn't matter. I practice only non-penetrative masturbation. I really don't know why I have this strong repulsion towards dicks and penetration, since I wasn't molested and I didn't have any sexual interactions with men that could discourage me. I'm very attracted to certain male faces, lean and muscular male bodies and male voice, but the dick always ruins it. I'm not a big fan of pussies either, but they're way less disgusting than dicks, probably because you can't penetrate with them. I wish I could take a hot guy and just take the dick out and slap a pussy there, or maybe give him a super tiny dick that's good only for grinding lol. I'm laughing but in my heart I'm crying because I will never find a guy who's sexually compatibile with me, all men want piv with their women unless they're closeted gays.
I had people telling me I'm a closeted lesbian, which is bullshit. I started to think that maybe the fact I'm autistic has something to do with it? I'm very prone to overstimulation and anything penetrative seems like too big of an ingerence with my body? I also don't perform femininity for the same reason, it's just too uncomfortable, the only femininine thing about me is long hair. But the fact that I find penetrative sex unappealing and I don't like femininity is enough for people to tell me I'm either a transman or a lesbian, depending on their political compass. It's so frustrating. I don't want to change it because I don't want to force myself to do something that makes me very uncomfortable, but I also don't want to be alone forever and perceived as immature.
No. 184311
>>184300Don't worry, there are decent men that don't care about PIV. The best part is that those types of men are more likely to focus on your pleasure too, and be happy and enthusiastic to rub your clit or eat you out. Only thing is you'll have to be upfront about not wanting PIV or giving oral and they can decide whether to dip out or not. I usually bring it up with the first week or two with someone I'm interested in. Although it's always an awkward conversation, it's better than giving someone false expectations.

I'm so done. This week alone 6 people in my social circle came out as Bi all at the same time so I'm suspicious obviously since were all in one group chat.
One person is a girl I liked in the past but she's was clearly not into women ,and always prefers friendships with men. She has a boyfriend of 5 years but NOW you explore yourself?
Excuse me but whats with women chasing and being with a man for years ,then suddenly comming out as Bi while in the relationship. What have you been doing??Were you bored of your BF one day so you say your Bi to get someone talking about you?
"I noticed I think women look pretty sometimes so I think i like them. dont refer to me as straight anymore just call me Bisexual. its a nice label" is basically what she said.
She was first to come out from the 6 and that started it. One guy in the group tried being supportive by saying dating Bis are so much better because you can both compliment women together. So it makes you a major cuck? Thanks for the support.
I truly know that if I come out and say i think dating/sex/romance/womens bodies turn me on everyone will see me as a perv, or a Bi god since their definition is listening to girl in red and watching pretty celebs makes you Bi.
So anons, should I come out to them?

It seems like bait because in retrospect, it sounds really stupid. But I meant what I said.
I believe homosexuality is not ok, and am saying again I am disgusted by my feelings that I have had and sometimes had because it goes against my beliefs. I had a secret gf and used to be with a couple other girls, and felt strongly about women and their bodies since seeing Velma in Scooby Doo. I came to have views that it was wrong, and was raised with some values that made me feel very guilty for it. And was so disgusted that the feelings weren't the same, I felt pure again.
I have liked many women before, but wanted an anon to say 'dw still straight' because I was feeling guilt for the feelings coming back and was so scared. I want to feel what I'm supposed to feel. I have liked feminine and masculine women, and don't see the tomboy as a man. I just wanted to rationalise that I was still straight somehow and not going back to my old ways. I was trying to be straight, and will continue to try, but I don't think a bi woman with integrity will use dykes as a placeholder for men, so I'm sorry for causing infighting and appearing as a troll.
If I get banned for autistic blogposting, maybe that will be good for my mento health anyway. But I'm not a reflection of 'bi' women, just someone trying to become healthy and heterosexual and leave my past behind.

I don't know if this is fake media press or because bis are a large percent of the community but I always wondered why bisexuals are statistically more abused, because I assumed it was gay men abused at higher rates because bisexuals technically have choice to be in "straight" relationships. I feel like I have no say in this matter and am playing victim because I dont have "the full gay experience" that lesbians or gays do. but I needed answers.
No. 185415
>>185368iirc that study said that it was bisexual women in particular who were abused the most, right? I've seen some speculate that maybe we face higher rates of abuse because of negative stereotypes, like the idea that we're inherently more promiscuous or more likely to cheat. Tbh I think that makes sense, while I've never personally been in a relationship, from what I've seen online a lot of non-bisexual people are bothered by bisexuality and feel insecure when they're in a relationship with a bisexual (and let's be real, men in particular will feel more entitled to certain sex acts like threesomes, and will probably act more degrading).
Also I wish that study specified which sex these women were partnered with. Statistically speaking they were probably mostly het-partnered, but I'm still curious nonetheless, like if it showed rates of abuse in same sex vs opposite sex relationships for bisexual women.

One time I was in a gay bar with my friends and there was a russian lesbian couple and the ”butch” one punched the ”femme” . I was young and the situation was super weird. My armchair theory is that the butch had adapted the model of
abusive relationships in their very heteronormative culture, but idk don’t know too many russian lesbians so it’s hard to say.

I don't know whether I should come out to my mom or not.
>Liberal
>Arabic background
>hates fake wokeness just like me but mistakes non-woke actions for woke ones
>is unaware bi is a real thing (thinks they're just lesbians in hiding)
>is somewhat uninformed
>we used to bitch about fake wokeness together so might come as a shock if I reveal. I stopped the bitching after finding out what I was (although radfems still suck).
>the only Bi media she'd ever seen was when a show she watches very obviously shoehorned a relationship in
>not religious
>overall is very caring and I feel I run low risk of being disowned
>shows "the gays can do whatever they want but I'm not watching it" mentality ocasionally
Lots of conflictions I know
Subtlety hinting and normalizing it is probably the babysteps toward coming out.

You want a romantic relationship meant for
you anon, not to satisfy mom and dad. If they love you then they'll come around eventually. If not, then either be miserable by keeping your gf a secret, luck out and find a decent guy, or be single forever. Your romantic relationships are
(is? idk english) your business. In my opinion, I dunno why people feel the need to "come out" nowadays.

>>185703Kek anon who hurt you,,,
You shouldn't need to pretend ur lesbian so that everyone accepts you and if someone believes you're into poly relationships cut those people off. Your parents also need to be more educated.I see where ur coming from but I also don't.
>>185710>>185591 anon here, I agree coming out is overrated. Close friends told me I should do it, but, the reason I was unsure was because I didn't want to keep a future gf secret and make her feel shitty in the process.

>>185703Were the women you've dated also bi, or lesbians? How did you identify yourself to them, and how did they react?
I'm asking because I've been a very confused person. I've dated men in the past but realized that I'm honestly not attracted to them. Thought I was bi but I'm attracted to women. But I'm pretty sure lesbians hate people like me? I feel like a fraud.
Or is that just one of those internet things where IRL actual people don't really give a shit and it's just a very vocal minority on the internet who never leave their houses who are outspoken on it?
I'm surprised that people are so quick to be judgemental about lesbians but this doesn't seem to be an issue with gay men?

>>185591I've never got "coming out" as a concept tbh. I think it's only worth it if you're in a serious relationship with another woman and even then you can just say that you have a gf and let that be that.
>>185720Not mentioning something if it doesn't come up is different from lying about it. I don't agree with the anon who calls herself a lesbian when she's dating women, but coming out can be pretty awkward for everybody involved ime. I don't see why she can't just let people draw their own conclusions.
