Do you believe bisexuality is the predominant sexuality?

I don't believe that everyone is bisexual to a degree because ,I can say for me it's not true ; For most of my life I have tried to be a bit bi or even bi and I can say now as ,an adult men don't do anything for me . Although I do agree with you that a lot of people are probably bisexual and very few are gay , straight and asexual .

 

No, I think most people are straight.

 

Interesting topic.

It could be that a majority of people do experience same-sex attraction sometimes, but never act upon it because they still have a 99% preference for one gender. In this case we will never know, because these people are never gonna come forward about this. Well, girls, maybe. But most "straight but apparently not 100% straight" guys won't.

It could also be that it's bullshit and most people are just straight.

I fear we will never know.

 

could it then also be said that the majority that are gay also experience opposite sex attraction sometimes as well ? but act on it in secret ?


side note If it turns out that a lot of people are bi and No I don't mean all , anyone find it a little funny that their discriminating against bisexual when their bi themselves . Kinda makes you see where the biphobia comes from hate towards yourself or in this case phobia .

 

To me it's a no can go with men , sex with them turns me off lol

 

The reason I say it wouldn't work is because I gave one guy one night and no it did not work and no I was not attracted to him . I've been alive for 26 years had not felt that way for a man ever . Yes I can notice a man is handsome but I don't want one in my bed . No Thank you .

 

I agree with you. I think there's a small minority of 100% gay people, a rather larger group of 100% straight people, and everyone else is either bisexual or asexual. What I don't have a clue about is the difference in the number of people who are 100% straight and the bisexual crowd. And I use bisexual very loosely; if someone is 99% gay and 1% straight, I considered that bisexual, in this case.

 

Sexuality is far more complicated than most people think. No way to know.

 

I think the right word would be "bicurious" or "heteroflexible".

 

I think some people are tempted to say most people are bisexual, because they see sexuality as a continuum, and they are tempted to apply a normal (bell) curve to any continuum. That has a kind of intuitive appeal...however, by that same logic, we could hypothesize that most humans are also transgender and intersexed (as both gender and sex are also continuums)...so I find this argument simply flawed.

I also think many bisexuals are tempted to hypothesize that most people are bisexual, because it's comforting to think that most people are like us...especially if that also means that most people are like us, and aren't smart enough to even realize it! Yes, we few bisexual-identified people are actually the most enlightened of all human beings! All (or at least 95-99%) of you straight and gay people are just too uptight or too self-deluded to see the truth of your sexuality.

LOL, please. How strong must your needs for validation and superiority be to actually believe such tripe? I could see it being a fun fantasy (like daydreaming about being accepted to Hogwarts)...but seriously??

 

I mean, if you took away all of the stigma that goes along with being gay, bisexual, or of that latter, then I think you would find more accurate results. I would presume that the majority of people would be more biromantic or at least yearn for companionship with either gender, whether it be male or female. That having been said, I would think that the majority of people in terms of sexual attraction, would be straight. They always say, in the form of statistics, that ten percent of the world is either gay or bisexual. I don't think removing those negative stigmas that come with being gay/bisexual in our modern world and forcing everyone to be completely honest would change those statistics very much (for those who don't report and hide their sexuality from everyone).

 

I guess it depends on how you define bisexual. Is it by your behaviors? Your past relationships? Desires? Willingness to experiment? The type of men/women you're attracted to? You'll find that plenty of gay men have had experiences with the opposite sex, even fallen in love, and enjoyed activities with their girlfriends and wives, but they identify strictly as gay. A few will even admit to having a small attraction towards members of the opposite sex, or having an "urge" every now and then.

There seems to be a lot more pressure for men to live up to a masculine ideal, ie not weak or womanly, and that includes not being suspected of being gay. Otherwise, it would be interesting to know how many have had those yearnings, in however small a degree, or experiences.

I'm well past my teenage years, yet get turned on by both men and women, albeit not your standard type(s). Relationship-wise, it's still in the air, but I imagine it could work either way.

 

I think that everyone is a little bisexual, because if you think about it, friendship is a kind of love. If it's a kind of love, then everyone would have to be a little bit, because then you wouldn't have any friends that are of the opposite gender that you like.
