Homosexuality vs. Bisexuality

The reason why some guys prefer the term bisexual is because they haven't accepted that they are gay and not bisexual, believe me I have friends that are like this. So maybe that is why bisexuality is more common.

 

Statistically speaking, homosexuality is more common I believe.

However, there are very few 100% gay people, fewer than 100% straight people. A lot of gay people are 90% gay, or around there.

 

I've heard that a few people who have done intense studies and research on this sort of thing believe that everyone, no matter if they identify as gay or straight, is at least a little bi. Even if it's just "one percent".

Also, from what I've seen (this is just me, I'm not speaking for everyone) female bisexuals seem to be more commomn than female homosexuals while male bisexuals seem to be less common than male homosexuals. Although, I should note that a lot of these females that claim to be bisexuals are fifteen year old girls. No doubt quite a few of them will grow up to realise they were just going through a phase and that they really are heterosexual or homosexual.

 

I can confirm from personal experience that the number of male bisexual is relatively low compared to gay men and bisexual women.

 

I know a few gay guys/girls but only one bisexual girl. Howeverrr at least two of the people who are gay originally came out as bi (and idk about the others), so if that happens more it might be a reason why bisexuality seems more common.

 

Kinsey studies actually show more bi guys than bi girls and gay guys. Keep in mind when said this probably includes everyone who isn't a 0 or 6.

 

Yea, was talking more about the 2.5-3.5 type bisexuals.

 

Lol. I wouldn't even register then since I'm more 1.5 - 2.

 

I did not mean to suggest people outside that range aren't bisexual, but that is the view of the straight majority: bi people have to like both genders equally.
I personally don't believe in labels and while I agree with the principle of Kinsey's scale, it still a bit to forceful and artificial imo.:icon_wink

 

Unsure if it can be equal. To me it's the same as... this is going to sound awfully weird lol... pespi and coca-cola. Same exact thing. Just guys lean towards pepsi while others lean towards coca-cola. Was going to say apple and oranges, but then it's way too different.

 

This is why I don't like labels.
Everyone is unique, just be true to yourself, to who you are is my personal philosophy.

 

There is no possible way to distinguish "homosexual" between "bisexual," and this is because it is rare that one is 100% gay, or 100% straight, for that matter. Sexuality is a spectrum, and there is no set place where each sexuality lies, because sexuality is part of your life and you will make it as good as you can. Therefore, in this case, there is no possible way to distinguish homosexuality between bisexuality. Say 0 is straight, 1-99 is bisexual, and 100 is gay. There would be A LOT of bisexuals in the world (according to you), even more than straights, and bisexuality will be more common. But if 0-49 is straight, 50 is bisexual, and 51-100 is gay, then bisexuality would be very, very rare and homosexuality would be more common. It's only what you think and what others think.

However, there is a big difference between being bisexual and identifying as bisexual. In this case, bisexuality would be more common. Studies -- many studies -- have shown that a lot more people identify as bisexual than as gay. However, only a select few that identify as bisexual are truly bisexual. Some people are simply experimenting what gender they truly like. Some people are using bisexuality as a later acknowledgement and acceptance that they are gay/lesbian. Finally, there are the idiots that just identify as bisexual for attention, but they're really straight. There may even be more issues. And only the few rest are truly bisexual. Therefore -- there is no real way to tell, unfortunately. The world may never know. ^.^

 

I think that the only reason bisexuals often appear less common is that lots of people don't realize what they are. If for example, a guy is attracted to girls, which society promotes, why would he ever look any farther than that? He might not even recognize a crush on a male friend, certainly not for what it is. It takes a great deal of acceptance to acknowledge that you may not be "normal".

When asked, both of my parents, who identify as straight, said that they were probably 1-2 on the Kinsey scale. If society didn't divide people based on preference, I think that the 100% heterosexual would be as rare as the 100% gay.

 

But what is a bisexual? How bisexual are you?

In my opinion, one can only be a certain % straight and a certain % gay. 'Bisexual' is a grey area. I'm straight and I'm gay. Right now I'm saying 50/50, although over time, I'll probably get a better idea of where I am. That also explains the Kinsey scale. There can be a percentage, because that percentage represents how likely you are to be attracted to a woman/man. There are cases where gay men end up dating women. The reason the opposite isn't the case is because often, straight people prefer to suppress their bisexual tendencies.

I can believe that. That being said, due to negative male attitudes towards homosexuality, that would also explain why there are so few out bi males.

 

Hi, My case is weird I think because..... I'm bisexual and I would say that I like women more than man, like 70%/30%. But even like that, I'm in love with this guy, He is feminine, have a woman's body and he likes to dress as a woman when we go out to the gay clubs, My point is that I like man that dress as a woman and have a female body......... why is that ?????? Can anybody answer my question please ? Thanks !
