    Hello everyone!

    So I've pretty much become so comfortable with my orientation that if anyone asks, I'll happily tell them. The problem is that my girlfriend & I recently broke up, and now I'm talking to a woman I really like. She's funny, smart, kind, and sexy. Things got steamy and we started making out, which then got more intimate.

    Before, we grabbed a few drinks, started talking & started discussing how one of her friends came out as bisexual. She then said, "I don't understand how one can question their sexuality." I wasn't offended, society is predominantly hetero-normative; she saw this look and got weirded out. She goes, "have you ever?" And for the first time, I was honest & comfortable with saying, "I'm absolutely bisexual, I love it."

    So after we hooked up, she texted me the next morning & said, "listen, you're attractive, sweet, and funny, but I can't continue to hook up with a guy unsure about his sexuality." I responded with a thumbs up. How do I stop these bi-phobic endeavors? Can I? Or should I just get used to it. I wish people would realize that I'm not questioning my sexuality, I'm Bisexual! :bang:

    I am feeling that emoticon right now.
    I don't quite consider myself truly bisexual like I did when I first started on EC, but this just made me really mad at that person. Like... do you live under a rock? Do you not know that bisexual is a thing, and that the term exists for a reason? Plenty of people do question their sexuality, but some people level out and enjoy both genders, or all genders and identities on an attraction and sexual basis.

    That woman is a total idiot, and you deserve better anyway.

    To answer your question, no, you can't stop things like this. You cannot stop people from being stupid.
