Bisexuality.

Bisexuality isn't a religion. It's not Santa Claus or the tooth fairy.

About a week or so ago I was talking to my boyfriend and somehow we touch basis on my bisexuality; and he told me his first thought to that was "How can you love someone if you don't even know what you want."

If people claim to be bisexual, then who am I (or anyone else) to discredit their identity?

A few possible reasons for the assumed rarity of bisexuals:

1. Not every person may be quick to reveal their bisexuality.
2. We assume that men who are with men are gay and men who are with women are straight. We assume that women who are with women are lesbians, and that women who are with men are straight. This assumption may be misguided as any of these individuals may be besexual, despite the binary nature of their relationships.
3. Our society puts intense pressure on people to identify as "gay" if they have same-sex attractions. We've all heard the expression, "bi-now, gay later." Some of us card-carrying homos may otherwise have identified as bisexual if we had not succumbed to the pressure of the "gay" label.

Bisexuality is probably anything but rare. I have a sinking feeling that most of us (gay or straight) are at least a little bit "bi-curious", though we may never act on our urges and/or we may repress these inclinations into the depths of our psyche.

I am bisexual, but I prefer men (I believe just how there are different types of gays, there are different types of bi's). But I had always seen myself in a relationship with either a man or women. After dozens of people telling me they don't believe in bisexuality and them not really understanding sometimes its just easier for me to cave in and say I'm gay. A lot of people have the misconceptions of bisexuals; that we are greedy or whores for wanting both genders or that we are confused. (But no I know what I want).
