Bisexuality

[Zephyr]

So my friend Tim and my coworker Ryan were debating this last night (though drunken xD).

Is everybody bisexual to some extent, homophobia aside?

Strictly speaking about the human race as well, not involving other races in the animal kingdom in this.

well i believe so
even though i am admiting i am bi and have had relationships with both sex
but to an extent i tink people are like think porn
guys dont want a small man without pwer they want a big honkin man with that girl
or the woman dont want some skinny girl they wont some hot chick! see lol

Wow that one's intersting logic cyndie, but 'hot' is subjective.


I think to some extent we are. Like it's more in our nature to love people.. the exterior is a bonus :P

Sillyness aside, I don't think anyone can say they haven't found anyone of the same (or opposite, if you're gay) attractive. Maybe you wouldn't want to go out with them because you prefer to be with someone else, but... hot people are hot haha

I don't think that we are all bisexual. There are gay and straight people who are very certain and secure in their orientation. If they were denying a basic bisexuality then this wouldn't be the case.
Also appreciating a person of the same sex's attractiveness isn't a sign of being gay or bisexual.

I don't think we are all bisexual. Bisexuality isn't simply thinking that someone looks attractive, it's having the emotional attachment to them both from their personality and from their physical appearance. I consider someone who is bisexual to have the same or approximately the same amount of emotional attraction to both genders. It doesn't need to be exactly equal but fairly close.

Suppose a friend were to comment that their friend of the same gender looks "hot" or attractive in a certain clothing. Is that a sign of homo- or bisexuality? No.

everybody has though of having a three-way with a member of the opposite and same sex no

[Raize]

I think so too. It's that ability, we can look at somebody of the same sex and go "Hey their attractive" without actually liking them that way.

I couldn't say it better myself. There are people of the same sex who are attractive. Just because that is what I believe, it does not prove I am bisexual. I am always accepting towards people, but am not gay or bisexual myself. Sure, Brad Pitt is hot, but that doesn't mean I'd ever have a romantic relationship with him.

When I saw this topic, I thought it was my same one from a few weeks ago.

But anyhow. No, I don't believe everyone is bisexual to any extent. The whole point of sexuality (instinctively speaking) is to reproduce. It takes a male and a female to reproduce, not a female and a female or a male and a male, I believe we're originally heterosexual. Well, at least that's the case in most people.

I don't know enough on homosexuality, but from most people I've met that are homosexual, they were either initially straight or asexual before they realised they were homosexual (because your sexuality doesn't really develop properly until your early teens/puberty).

I'm not attracted to other males at all, and I know plenty of other people that simply aren't attracted to the same sex in any way, shape or form, so there's one hole in your theory. I acknowledge a guy that looks good.. but that doesn't mean I'm attracted to him.

[Wonder.]

I think everyone is bisexual also because even the straightest man who hates gay people can end up dating a guy and like it. In this world, anything can happen. A human can have sex with a dog in this world. Not legally though. I'm getting off-topic now. My friend knows a two straight guys who dated and ended up liking it. And knows this one girl that dated another girl. (my friend knows everyone.)

[Atonement]

But the definition of bisexual is blured. Attracted to both sexes. To any extent. Everyone is bisexual. I find it ignorant and naive to not examine one's sexuality.

So your argument is that someone who is completely heterosexual CAN somehow develop homosexual likings, yet still be heterosexual, thus bisexual? In other words, your argument is simply the idea that anything can happen: I can toss up a shoe and a walrus can come down, I can slap a person and win a trillion dollars, etc... . What's important is the probability of the event occurring, however, your argument of "anything can happen" I find incredibly weak.

Agreed.
