I usually go with the "How do you know you're straight?"

But I think I've found a new favorite =D

ccdd · 4th Aug 2008, 05:29 PM

I wish I did know the answer to this question...

But seriously, how about (in my case): "Because I really want to have sex with women"

You know, just be explicit and embarrass them.

4th Aug 2008, 05:35 PM

I usually just say, "The same way you know you're straight; you don't know at all. You just feel it."

4th Aug 2008, 05:35 PM

i havent been asked that question but i think i could think of some things more explicit then that

jazzrawr · 4th Aug 2008, 05:38 PM

"The gay fairy put a rainbow under my pillow." ^.^

Usually followed by the more serious answer, "I just know. I like women; I'm not attracted to men. It's preeetty simple."

Tim · 4th Aug 2008, 05:54 PM

Hmm, let's see, I can't remember what I said, just that it involved a lot of Ums and Uhs... lol >_<

This, pretty much. I know because I'm confident in who I am attracted to and who I'm not. I do not feel physical or emotional attachment to women, I do for men. You'd think it makes sense, but apparently a lot of people don't get it - they keep asking and asking...

NathanHaleFan · 4th Aug 2008, 07:59 PM

"Well, I aspire to kiss boys with a flaming passion."

or, "I find myself constantly undressing men with my eyes."

That pretty much silences them.

lol... i basically had to say all of that to my sister because for her "cause i just know" didnt really cut it

Trumpetplyer23 · 5th Aug 2008, 06:37 AM

People always ask me how I know I'm bisexual.

I respond with "Oh, that's easy, because I want to fuck guys and girls. I hope that clears up your suspicions".

It's fun to see their reactions. Especially the straight girls.

These are THE BEST

ltb2511 · 5th Aug 2008, 09:09 AM

I mearly say its girls that turn me on, just to see the look on their faces, then say something serious about it.

-Michael- · 5th Aug 2008, 11:58 AM

A guy friend recently asked me (again)

I said i know bcause when i looked into your eyes...its like a died and went to a very special place...

His reaction was an awkward one to say the least

rosiejuly3 · 5th Aug 2008, 12:09 PM

Ugh I hate that!! My mom would not stop asking that question so I would just say "how do you know that your straight??" she would just say "I just do" "UGH!!!"

With my other friends that ask I just say "Well if I'm not bi then my gf is gonna be pissed!"

I remember the first time I was attracted to girls. My best friend and I were making out when we were 13, just to see what it was like, and I loved it! But for a long time, I was in denial about my sexuality. I was brought up that it wasn't "normal" (whatever normal is, I don't know). I was with a couple other women on a more intimate level later on in my life, but it still didn't confirm I was Bi, until I met the woman I am in love with now. For the first time in my life, I didn't deny who I really was. Either you are attracted to the same sex/opposite sex or you aren't.
