What do you think about bisexuality? Can we have equal romantic or sexual desires for both genders?? Or is it necessary to prefer one gender to the other? How would YOU define it? What are the problems it could bring up? Has it got advantages? If yes, what could these possibly be according to you?

Hello Stacey. First of all bisexuality doesn't fit the mental illness section as it is not a mental illness. Some people may get a little bit irritated seeing your thread in this section, we never know.

Nope according to me we can't have both tendencies, it's absurd. It's not necessary to have a preference, but it would be better for your won self. The main problem may be if you are married to a guy, you would surely want to have sex with women one day or the other. Assuming you are bisexual, means you can have sex with both after all ( you have great sexual experiences) may be an advantage.

Hi Splash, how are you! Thank you for your reply. I would just like you to notice we are in the Counselling Resources section, not in the mental illness one! Don't worry, I don't consider this to be a mental illness! and yes, sexual experiences could be an advantage!
You suggest we can't have both tendencies. Are you talking about sexual desires? Sentimental feelings? Simple attraction towards both?

So it's more of "it's better not to have both tendencies" than "we CAN't have both tendencies"!? I can't really get your point.

Same thing, we don't have to go through counselling to solve our bisexual problems. Do you think that it would be better for the persons who are bisexual to see that some person think they need some counselling?
When i say that we can't have both tendencies, i mean that humans are meant to love either men or women, not both. Both sexual and feelings. One doesn't go without the other. Greedy is the word that should be associated to bisexuality. Can you give me any tangible reason for a person to be bisexual?

'kay, is not "treating" bisexuality the same as "treating" Homophobia or homosexuality?? By "treating' I mean looking at the subject.

lol. You're right to some extent.

I haven't got any precise reason, but do you think it can happen that a girl loves a guy mainly for his physical appearance (she's going out with him, 'kay, and he loves her for real), but she finds herself really attracted to a girl, for her mental behaviour, I mean, ways of thinking and all, ways of dealing with things, ways the guy doesn't really have. The other girl is gay, and both girls know each other since long. The girl (with the guy) doesn't have only admiration for the gay one, but feels attracted A LOT. She loves the guy, and loves his physical appearance. She's starting to have feelings for the gay girl, but she's not especially interested in her body. How would you call that?

Oh lil stacey I think bisexuality is a cool thing. But i like girls who are bisexual. One day i had a great night with two girls. That's the advantage that exists in bisexuality i guess. In fact, the advantage is for us men, we can have two women in a bed at the same time.

Capuccino, it works from both side, don't think that only women are bisexual. You can be bisexual as well. There are surely some women who think about you the same way you do, you know what i mean isn't it? Women too have fantasies and deep inside most of them would like to have 2 men in their bed

At first, for me, Bisexuality was something simple, me not asking myself deeper what it was all about. It was simply, a man or woman able to love the two genders. Since I came on this forum, I saw so many issues, including this one, and their deep meanings and consequences. I realise it's so complicated!! That's true Tornado. Capuccino do you think only women can be bisexual?? However, my fantasy's not to have two men for me. I've got others, but frankly not this one. Actually, are Bisexual or gay women more accepted and seen in society, than homosexual or bi guys?? I feel it is so. If so, I'm asking myself, why is it like that?!?

My not-sweet and gangster Capuccino, let me guess, your girlfriend + Pink in the same bed with you, is it? You've got much chance, Pink is actually Bi. She said it in one of her interviews once!

Hey but can a bisexual be faithful?? Now, another thing, is it called "unfaithful" if you're a girl and that you date a girl while already going out with a guy?

If you love a guy for his physical appearance, it means you want to have sex with him isn't it? If you love the girl for her 'mental behaviour' as you say, well, you're her friend.

I would call this traumatizing herself
