3. Aren't we all a little bi?
Is there anyone that could honestly say they've never had a desire to experiment with both sexes? Or do you have to act on your urges to qualify?

4. I think acting on them qualifies. Otherwise, how do you know?
Oops, I just ruled myself out. I've played with the light bulbs, but not with the sockets yet... I'll spare everybody the followup joke about getting fried...

6. I have an ex that has never, ever been interested in
same-sex experimentation, even out of curiosity. He is 100% hetero. I think he can honestly say he is not even a little bit bi. I, on the other hand, can't say the same thing about myself. :) I fully acknowledge being bi and find myself equally attracted to men and women. However, when it comes to relationships, I will only pursue romantic relationships with men and friendships with women. :)

8. I'm curious as to ...
why you only pursue romantic relationships with men and friendships with women. I've known bi women who do that, and most of them admit that it is because of gay discrimination and because they want the security of marriage with a man and family acceptance, etc. Is that true for you too?

I've tried a few relationships with men myself in my 20s, for those very reasons, thinking I could possibly by bi. Mainly just convinced me how gay I actually was. :shrug:

9. I tried it once in my early 20s, and I can honestly say that
I prefer romantic relationships with men. It's not because of gay discrimination or anything like that. I had a wonderful time with the woman I was seeing, but there was more romantic fire with men. I'm married now, but I am childless by choice and always will be. I went through a long period of soul searching, being brutally honest with myself, and I arrived at the conclusion that men met my emotional and romantic needs better. If I had decided that women met those needs better, I would have gone the other way.

12. Well, in my view, I am bi.
I am equally attracted to both sexes and have had physical relationships with partners of both sexes. However, men fill my emotional needs better, so I would pursue relationships with men over relationships with women.

13. Ah... that's interesting. I guess bi is a pretty large category...
I can't imagine finding men emotionally more fulfilling. But then, that's why I'm gay, I guess. :)

14. A lot of the research I have read on the subject
says that bisexuality isn't an either/or proposition...there's a lot of gray area. Take a look at this from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisexuality
