I agree with alot of people whom have commented on this journal. Bisexuality is a trend. Gay/Lesbian, maybe not so much but bisexuality yes. I'm a proud bisexual and have been since nine years of age (the first time I experimented with the same sex). I'm sixteen years old now and have hit more than one home-run, I'm fairly confident that I am, bisexual. I think the only person who can figure out their sexuality, is you. I also want to note, that no matter what that sexuality is, when you figure out what you are, you'll be happy with yourself. :)
I say you should delete this journal, now a days people are more open to sexuality, but still there are some who make it a big deal. I personally love everything about a girl and boy. I could sit here and describe it all, such as the way I love the way a girls skin is generally like silk, their eyes, their cute lips especially when they're pouting, how I love to hold them close, how they love the compliments I love to give. I love girls. I love the masculine manly man guy. I love the idea of being a sweet little house wife. I love the feel of being held tightly every night, the smell of a guy, their humor. I love guys. So, I know what I am, I know it's not some hormonal phase, in fact :D it may be for some but, others it's real and it's not gonna change after college...
I know what you mean Audrey T. A lot of people, up until they're out of college (because isn't college the years for experimenting) are usually not set with their sexuality. I'm not set with my sexuality and I believe by the time I'm out of college I'll be sure of what I am. I'm just sticking with bisexuality until I change my mind.
Personally, I don't believe anyone who goes around boasting about their sexuality if they're under the age of eighteen (and even then...eh). I find that most people who go around screaming it from the mountain tops are only doing so for the attention and hardly ever because it's true or so that they can feel "liberated."
I have feeling that half the people (especially the ones on this site) are only bisexual/pansexual for a little while and their "sexuality" probably won't last past college (if it last for so long).
You all definitely have your right to state and claim that you know for sure that you're bisexual at fifteen, but I just don't believe that. We're all curious and horny when we're teenagers, but that doesn't make you a homosexual or bisexual or even heterosexual, for that matter. There's a difference between simply being physically/sexually attracted to a person and being homosexual or bisexual, and I don't think that at such a young age people can differentiate.
But like I said, you've all got a right to claim whatever you'd like.
Personally, I don't believe in sexual orientation. Because we're all pretty much the same, physically, just with a little more or a little less, ya know?
Idoru That's how I am too. I have no idea why, but I think boys in girls clothes is kind of hot. I didn't notice that until I started reading slash. Like, if it was for sex, it's one of my kinks. A girl in guy clothes? Not really.
kafka.: For some people, it really doesn't matter. Some people can be just as attracted to a good looking guy as they are to a good looking girl. For some, it's just the idea of being open to both. I'm heterosexual, but I don't think it's a big deal when people are bi.
about my preference, of course I have a preference. In fact, you're right, I have a gender preference. Except, it's not male or female.
I have this thing for crossdressers, transgenders. Neither girl or boy. I love girls who cut their hair short and wear boy clothes. I love boys that shave and have feminine features.
What does that make me? Bisexual? But I'm not into guy guys or girl girls.
I'm one of those people that if a person fits the aspects of what I look for in a person - cute personality, humor, generally all around good person - I will fall for them. I've crushed on a boy that fit that personality, my ex-girlfriend was that. I don't consider myself pansexual or without gender borders, but I do consider myself a bisexual. And there's probably no true bisexual but I do believe that's what I am.
AudreyT while I agree, it seems that it's become cool and what not, I firmly stand by my sexuality and it being bisexual. Just as there is nothing wrong with being straight or gay, there's nothing wrong with being bi. I know for a fact I'm physically, and can be mentally attracted to both sexes. I know I could see myself with either. It isn't always a confusion or get popular scheme, seeing that few friends of mine know, that I only talk about it when the subject is there.
I think it's ridiculous to say that you don't care about what sexuality other people have. Surely, when you want to go out with somebody you care which gender(s) they're attracted to. :/ Also saying that gender doesn't matter is like saying that looks don't, which I also find ridiculous because I don't think the vast majority of people would date a person they find physically repulsive. They way a person looks is important, not crucial, but you can't deny the fact that it plays a part in falling in love and in a relationship. Getting to know somebody's personality, intellect, etc. takes time, while you're confronted with somebody's looks the moment you first meet them.
I'm heterosexual. I only date males because I'm only attracted to males.
I don't like how it's suddenly become "cool" to be sexually ambiguous and if you're not, you're viewed as being closed minded or "in the closet" or prejudice because of it. It seems like everyone these days is so cool with the "I don't care about gender, it doesn't matter to me" or "I'm pansexual." I often feel like less people actually feel that way (or even understand it enough to make those kinds of statements) and are simply doing it for cool points, or so that other people will think that they're a "free thinker."
Nothing against you, but I'm just saying that it's also okay to be sure of yourself, to be sure of your sexuality and your gender.
There is no "why" I can't tell you why. I don't know why I am how I am.
But, I am however being true to myself by acknowledging it, and handling it. I don't know for sure. I've never been to a therapist, and I wont be able to see one until I'm 18. But I know how I feel and how I think. I don't want to be a boy. I am a boy.
People can question me all they want. But I know myself better then they ever will. (:
I agree. I don't believe the aspects of reproduction have anything to do with love. I mean, if there was a couple in which one of them was sterile, would that mean that they don't love each other? Personally, I believe that in this day and age, love has grown into it's own separate entity.
I think sexuality is irrelevant. No one needs to know what you are, nor do you need to know yourself. If you want to know, figure it out. But...sex isn't that important. Plus, you could always adopt, if you wanted a family. -__-
