Bisexuality - real or just some fad? - Comments

i agree a lot of people say that they are bisexual just to seem cool. but i hate it when people think that they are bi but they say that they would never really have a relationship with the same sex. but being bi means that you would have a real relationship with the same sex and the opposite sex. you have to be able to be physical and emotionally involved. not just making out with the someone that is the same sex as you at some party and then saying you're bi. it's not that simple.

Bisexuality is a genuine sexual orientation is my opinion. I think, as many people do, that teens are making it a fad, though.

What gets on my nerves is, and this is slightly off topic, that people are getting less and less willing to accept the fact that teens are able to understand their sexuality. I guess that's due to the fad, but a lot of "real" bisexuals, like myself, who have already been in multiple serious relationships with females get shit because people can't tell who's genuine and who's faking.

I think it's real... but has become a fad.

I think there are a lot of younger kids (ok, like 13 and 14, but still) who are going 'omg, I think that girl is hot (assuming they are a girl), oh, I must like her, oh, that makes me bisexual... yeah... that's pretty 'in' to be these days'.

Or even more so, kids the same age (using the, they are a girl example) going 'omg, I kissed my friend at a party. That must make me bi, cause I still definitely like guys'.

I think that is making it a fad... not saying it's not real, but there's a lot of misinterpretation as to what bisexuality is. To me, in a round-about way it's when you would date a girl or a guy it doesn't really make a difference which gender they are, you find yourself attracted to both. It's not being a girl and mostly liking guys but having one crush on one girl once, ever. You get me?

Its become just a fad...I'm starting to believe people less and less when they claim to be "Bi"

But I'm sure it's possible that people can like girls and guys.
I agree with Tentacle.

I think Bisexual is a sexual orientation.
But only recently almost every teen claims to be one.
I think right now it's a trend that's going on. With all the pro-gay stuff going on.
I'm not against the gay community at all. I just think right now it's cool to be bi, a popular trend within teens.

I have a few friends who randomly claimed to be bi. This year, in fact. Funny thing was; they were anti-gay last year. And they never really talk about liking the same sex or finding them attractive. So I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes towards people like that. You can't be perfectly straight one day, and you go to bed and wake up bisexual, for example. Wouldn't it take a little more thought?

paperwings.; I agree with that. The whole "spread the love" thing plays a part, too.

What teenagers, especially girls, don't understand is that just because they think another girl is pretty, it doesn't make them bisexual.

I also think people are trying to jump in on this "spread the love" fad.

If bisexuality is a fad, what makes of omnisexuality and/or polysexuality?

It's just some fad, no doubt about it.

I'm sure there are one or two real bisexual people out there in the World of Mibba, but those few people are much older than thirteen. For the most part, thirteen year olds don't even have a grasp of the concept of heterosexual love, let alone homosexual love.

I'm seventeen, and I doubt my sexuality a lot. I've been thinking about it for years, but then again, I'm young -- and years ago when I first started thinking of it, I was even younger.

Not many people even in their early 20s are sure, it's hard to believe that thirteen year olds are.

I once thought I was bisexual. Most of my friends were, and still say they are but have never been active with girls. I tried to think about girls the way I did guys, but it wasn't clicking. Mind you, I was thirteen at the time. I don't know why I thought I could force it, but never happened.

I always doubted the factualness of my friends' ideas of being bi. I don't think just finding the same sex to be attractive counts for being bisexual, I think being in a functional relationship of mutual like does. I think a majority of teens who think they're bisexual only say so to fit with friends, or to cope with not having a significant other (because having the global choice gives a better chance).

I don't know how I would feel if I were in a relationship with a guy who was bisexual. I think it would be weird for me. I accept legit bisexuals in society and as friends, I find them to be normal people. I mean I felt the same way about David Bowie, even after I learned he had been bi before he married. Which brings me to another thought: I would think once a bi person married it would categorize them as straight or gay, no matter if they still found both genders to be attractive.

Who am I to say bisexuality is just a phase? I'm not bisexual so I wouldn't know. Some people ... need to think about what they're saying, though. With the way the trend, because there are some people who have adapted it into a trend, is going now my seven year old sister is going to come saying she's bisexual.

There are a lot of cases where bisexuality is used due to a trend or fad, but I think it is a real sexual orientation. I mean, is there anything wrong with choosing either male or female? To some or many, they really don't care what gender it is, but I believe that goes into omnisexual. As well, perhaps polysexual.

It doesn't really matter. As long as someone's not lying about their sexuality and do whatever they feel is truly right, I'm fine with it. I don't write reports on human sexuality and I don't specialize in any of that sort. If someone likes another, then so be it.

You know, my uptake on this is that I'm really pissed that some people would try and say that Bisexuality is a 'phase'

But what I'm beginning to hate the most about this situation is that these stupid teens and collage students think that it would be 'Fun!' to experiment.

I have a few friends now who are Bisexuals and they too are ticked off about all this.
So is my friend who, is gay, is also in this situation of being called a faker.

I think people are sure of their sexuality - no matter what it is - at an older age than thirteen.
