    I'd like to do a little survey of the EC bisexuals to see what your feelings about your bisexuality are. Whether it makes you feel guilty, worried or conflicted in any way. I know quite a lot of people don't like to identify as bisexual per se, but anybody who recognises they have some measure of romantic/sexual attraction towards both sexes is welcome to take part, regardless of whether they call themselves bisexual.

    Also, I better point out that some of the options must be chosen in tandem. For example, if you are a man and tick "My homosexual attraction", you must logically also choose "My attraction to men". :slight_smile:

    Thanks for responding!

    I think my difficulty with being bisexual is my attraction to the opposite sex. I'm not comfortable with dating a girl. It'd feel...awkward. LOL See, I tell everyone I'm gay because I don't want to have sex or be in a relationship with a woman, I'm just attracted to them. I seem to be much more attracted to guys and I dream of falling in love with a guy one day, not a girl. I think my Orientation Description describes my situation best.

    ooops, i didnt realise it was multiple choice... i ticked "heterosexual's reactions to my sexuality" but would have ticked "my attraction to women" as well, because i get scared about fancying a girl who is straight becuase of the way they might react.

    Oh, yeah, tell me about it. I should have included that. I suppose that goes under other people's reactions.

    I would say nothing really ... "Bothers" me about being bisexual. I haven't encountered any people challenging my bisexuality in real life. I've only noticed that in stupid places like youtube comments and crap, and it wasn't toward me. but I really don't care what other people think. I'm quite happy with it :slight_smile:

    I love being Bi.
    If other people have issue with me being bi well it's their issue, not mine.
