    Thanks for being there my friend. As a younger gay man in the 70's I was HORRIBLY misinformed about bisexuality. That was a time when bisexuals were horribly lambasted from both sides. Gays would say, "Oh he is just lying to himself. He's actually gay and he just needs to accept it and move on!". (God, so embarrassing now!) With time, more exposure and societal change we are finally beginning to get the fluidity of human sexuality. For many years now I have had a friend (single when I met him) who has been a fun sexual partner from time to time as well as just a damn good friend. He is married now in Florida to a wonderful woman who is also bisexual. They have 3 great kids and she knows about our friendship. I live in Missouri so actually getting together is no longer possible but we still tend to flirt a lot on line and by phone. The nice thing is, I finally COMPLETELY get it and it seems so completely normal. Keep up the educating people!

    I came out in 1972, when you could be put in a mental institution, just for saying that you’re gay. I’ve been through so much,so that people could love whoever they wanted. I am one of many who stepped out. I met the man of my dreams and lived a wonderful life with him until, I lost him to a heart attack. I had 18 years of magic. I’m happy to see you to be who you are, to the world, and not end up in jail.

    I didnt find out what gay/lesbian was until I was 9 or 10. I was at the lunch table and one of my friends mentioned "gay" one of the other kids didnt know, so she explained it to us.
    Glad you're so confident about coming out though. Im 27 and still dont have the courage to come out to most of my friends.

    Oh boy, you are NOT kidding about that denial business. I was deep in the closet, when I came out. I was just sitting there, telling myself, "I'm attracted to women but men too. I'm Bisexual. And I always have been." And the cognitive dissonance I experienced was just wild! The logic was there. And all the social BS I'd heard and piled on myself for DECADES, just shifted. And I was able to just walk out from under it. I was literally amazed.

    I came out as non-binary in 2021. I remember there was one non-binary kid in my school, and I remember people thinking they were weird, and even adults in my life asking me to find out what bathroom they used (???) I'm glad that I can be out and I feel comfortable in my identity, but I was definitely not in a supportive environment growing up lol. Im glad you feel comfortable to talk about this :)

  • @arthurpprado
    @arthurpprado 3 дні тому +1

    You're absolutely right that sexual confusion goes beyond orientation and into the finer details of the experience.
    I'm gay and I've had my awakening at 12 (watching Power Rangers, of all things), and it took me a good five years to really digest that information. I was worried about whether or not I fit into the stereotype, or if I even should, or how I would go about finding other guys that were also into guys and how that dynamic would even work.
    The weirdest part was that a moment of clarity came to me from a dream I randomly had, where I caught two very masculine-looking guys really going at it with each other in my house. I asked what they were doing and they told me they were just having fun with each other. That answer made me understand that a lot of the gay experience was just being into guys, while everything else was just up to personal taste and that I didn't need to fit what people understood to be a gay man at the time.
    After all that, I came out at 17 and have met queer guys of all sorts since then

    I'm bi and I knew it at 11 when I had a boyfriend and a girlfriend in different towns. I didn't know what unfaithfulness was. But at that time I had never heard the word or term bi if it existed back then. Sometime ago I began with a new female doctor and as soon as she heard my sexual orientation was bi she wanted to do an AIDS test. Well I did and of course it came back negative. One of the things about bi men is that straight women think you're promiscuous and second you gotta have AIDS. So watchout for that pal if dating a straight woman.

    Well done baby bi ❤❤ middle aged female bisexual here, came out in the 90's as bi, then was pressured by the queer community to 'pick a side' so after a while trying g to be straight, I came out again as lesbian, even though it never really fit. I was told that, as I am now married to a woman, I'm a lesbian by default, and saying I'm bisexual is a mute point. It frustrates the heck outta me!. The last couple of prides I ha r been openly repping the bi flag, and have come into my bi identity more, but it's taken a long time. Go at your own pace.

    @stevenwnewell79 5 днів тому

    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, Riley! I am in one of the oldest and racial-ethnically mixed in 532 years of American history family lines, also decidedly resolved in the concept of being reincarnated. So then, I've referred (before libraries were regulated for their cultural or metaphysical content on human sexuality,) to literature. Thus, responding when challenged with questions by reading texts of wise teachers of Hindu literature, and speaking both English, Norsk, Spanish and French, my answer to teenaged buddies in the 1970s was a medically very conservative, ethically very morally cautious kind of bisexuality. But then, there was the Kinsey Report, and "The Naked Ape" and other popular texts that also published openly many questions to consider. My allergies react faster than normal and this made me by nature more careful than most male peers about physical intimacy that might include sperm contact, and almost never did most other males actually believe my aversion was molecular biology but thought it was a mental thing usually called a "clean thing" with me. But then, I did not get any STDs and by 1980, it was significant how my precautions had protected me from the sudden issue hitting the progressive community as AIDS. Because all along constantly Gays told me to grow up and stop being in "denial" quoting Freud from his 1910 book, and the Straights would quote their Bibles written by their Lord in plain English. So eventually I wrote (Dreams of Allon, 1987) my own science fiction novel series, and developed what I branded as "The Allon Consciousness Hypothesis" asking "What if a people advance in space exploration adapting to travel taking thousands of years, and living that long they have many emotional relationships, many loves and mutual understandings eventually just learning to accept in a more broad general way, how humanity emotionally has the feelings and spiritual exploration that it has? What would that "sexuality" eventually become?" So that became a mode in my science fiction series. The Allon who live tens of thousands of years probably would be classified as mildly bisexual in their way of thinking." It has never been a populist brand of science fiction, and it is only mildly liked among critics in the "GLBTQ+" community who write reviews, and never have the "Straights" cut me any slack at all in my business, career or life. But my graduate thesis was based on the biology of behavior, and my method was the use of Large Learning Model computer analytics and AI study in Information Theory, where I have now a few new technology patents. I hope anyone publishing their essay to include being bisexual will practice very safe behaviors in expressing that lifestyle, as conception of children must not include risk of birth with AIDS. But other than that, the main fact is to this day sociologically, there is no truce between the sides in the sexuality civil war politically, and being bisexual means you have no idea if someone else is an ally or not. If it was actually psychology as an issue, then there would not be 80 percent more bisexuals in Europe than are in the USA. It is a political thing here, but it does not seem to get better any time soon. So be careful and take care with a strong resolve to nurture yourself, being exactly who you are. We're a little like the Johnny Cash song on the 1950s radio I heard as a kid. He sang, "You gotta walk that lonesome valley. You gotta walk it by yourself. Ain't nobody else gonna walk it for you. You gotta walk it for yourself..."

I love the cross-orientation model. I still feel like I have preferences in genders, which is why I am still bisexual. I care more about the person/personality than gender. Honestly, I'm looking for anyone nice, kind, spiritual, and a good heart, good looks may be a plus but it's not a deal breaker, keeping options open, and I love the open-endedness bi and pan people have) and a demiboy (between male and non-binary, I use he/him and they/them pronouns). As a bi guy, it makes me happy to see more open and proud bi/pan (and those with other bi+ identities such as omni and polysexuals, I see you) men out there, we exist!!
    Enjoy life as a bi guy, while it may be difficult, there's a lot of parts that are damn awesome! Standing in solidarity with a bi bro!! Virtual hi-5 for your bravery coming out online, proud of you cuz!

    It is a fascinating fact that Riley is even a unisex name. Male people, female people and intersex people can be named Riley. This also applies to the names Sydney, Taylor, Casey, Hazel, Robin, Devin, Hunter, Skipper, Sasha, Arya, Mika, Luca, Cameron Marian and Huschke. In the computer game The Last of us 1.5 also called The Last of us Left Behind there is an Afro American girl with the name Riley appearing. This character Riley enters into a love relationship with the main character Ellie in this game. It is adorable indeed. And it is a wonderful game.

      @@rileyhere228 You said that the doctors were not sure what sex you were when you were going to be born. Now I have a very important question to you. And hopefully I am allowed to ask this question. Are you intersexual? I ask this because it is interesting. Only one of five thousand children is intersexual. And these children have to be protected from interphobia. All intersexual children have a right to be intersexual and must keep intersexual. Genital operations at intersexual children must be forbidden. If these genital operations are really allowed then we have an interphobic society. And genital operations hurt intersexual children deep in their souls for a complete lifetime. And genital operations at intersexual children are mutilations. Therefore genital operations should never be allowed but definitely prohibited. Intersexual children are created exactly the way god and the nature want them to be. Intersexual children must keep exactly the way they are. I say all this because Germany was interphobic a few years ago. But now this kind of interphobia is shoven out of Germany. If you are intersexual please tell me! Because I really am interested. Hopefully I am really allowed to ask that question. I myself am an intensive fighter for the rights of intersexual and homosexual people. I also visit Christopher street days very often and I am talking to many politicians with the purpose to improve the life situation of homosexual and intersexual people. I am a true emancipatorical activist. I myself do also belong to a special minority but it is no minority of sexual category but instead of neurophysiological and mental category. I have Aspergers syndrom. This is a special kind of autism. And I am proud to have it. Autism is something you are born with, exactly as the homosexual orientation or the intersexual biological sex. I am really happy about the fact that we are a society of diversity. And exactly this society of diversity must be maintained.

    As somebody who's gay and also a counselor I think it's an ideal career choice. However I don't know where you are on your educational Journey but if you haven't started graduate school yet might I recommend getting a masters in social work instead of counseling. You learn the same skill set but you have much greater opportunities for jobs I have a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent development and I have a masters in clinical mental health counseling I don't regret my educational choices but if I had to do it over again I would have gotten a bachelor's and Masters in social work instead. Number one you'll get out of school faster because if you have a bachelor's in social work you have what's called Advanced standing in the Masters program meaning that you will be that much further ahead when you start graduate school that you actually get to skip the first two semesters I think because you already have acquired that knowledge through your bachelor program just my unsolicited piece of advice. You're adorable by the way

From my understanding, Social Work gives you a little more practical application but doesn't go into the science as much so I completely get where you're coming from.

    Hum,, i seen a study where bi sexual’s men once they tell women that their bi sexual women tent to not want intimacy with them because they believe they’ve been with men and they would have all kinds of STDs if not including aids so most bisexual men find out that they’re dating force or either or they have to pick men or women I’m talking to a man right now, who has a fiancéand wants me to cheat with him and keep it secret. I’d like to say this is the only time it’s come up, but it seems to be coming up a lot more and gay men are now becoming dirty little secrets more often than not.

    I actually thought I was fully gay until I realized that I also liked women when I was about 15ish. My first was a gal.... had to know for sure and yep, was not repulsed. So, I decided that since I also liked women that I would keep the liking guys part a little secret. Then, I met this cowboy type guy when I was in my early 20s. Not normally my type but he had a major thing for me and that was HOT to me so I played straight around everyone else rode around with him in his big ole truck, went back to his place eventually and... yep liked that too.
    Then there was the military... I just kinda went back and forth. Played officially straight but that wasn't fooling many people and I didn't really care; it was more so that other guys wouldn't get paranoid and think I was going to out them... also, I had girlfriends so nobody could really be suspected for hanging out with me too much, ya know.
    So then I met a guy I couldn't really walk away from and thats that. Three years now. So idk if that makes me gay or still bi but he the only one now.

    And maybe even vanilla it’s good at times..
    As a society, we have to pick what we want to be so we are recognized in the world so everyone is comfortable. Ultimately, we need to be what we want to be for ourselves whatever that is

    You can thank GLAAD for the repetitive caricature(s) in movies and tv for the longest time, they're rumored to have a representative in every writers' room, and dictate to the writers how lgbt people can and cannot be portrayed on screen. I grew up mostly in the '90s, and in a small town as well, and we had it even worse. Jack McFarland single-handedly scared me back into the closet for several more years.

      Yeah. It's really unfortunate how limited, even to this day, queer representation in media is. Fortunately, with newer shows I've found myself connecting with better written queer characters, but those can still be few and far between. I've also noticed how much of TV and media sells the idea that the solution to accepting yourself as queer is getting into a queer relationship... and in my experience that is not a good solution at ALL

    When I was a kid in the 80s/teenager in the 90s, people still thought being bisexual was imaginary. We've come a long way in that respect. As a middle-aged bisexual man myself, all I can say is that you should live as you please and make yourself happy. You're very fortunate to be able to do things at a "normal" age. I'm on the young side of Gen X, so I have personal memories of some of the horror of the height of the AIDS crisis, even though I was a kid. Yes, we're still going through some tough things now and we have to keep fighting. Never forget that you're living in an age in which you can do anything and have the person you love most in all the world, or more if you're polyamorous, with you for life if you choose. People like us my age and older never thought we'd live long enough to see a day when marriage equality would happen. AIDS took so many of my generation and I'm so glad yours won't have to go through that. Live and be happy and try to send a little good energy and appreciation for those who came before but couldn't make it. You seem like a nice young man, so I have a feeling you'll make quite an effort in life and do all of us older men proud.

    I personally think you do come across more gay than straight in the way you talk, mannerisms and stuff so hope you find that a compliment. I'm sure when you're around hyper masculine straight men it can become ever more pronounced..I know I'm generalising and it's not always the case and gay men can sometimes appear straight and vice versa, but I find overall most of the time if someone seems a gay they usually are and if a man seems straight he more often than not is. Bisexual men can be more tricky, but even that has become a bit more easier to spot as more have come out and you start recognising some characteristics that a lot of them share. I think some basic personality and gender traits sometimes give it away, especially in expressiveness. I'd say you are on the more feminine side of bisexual leaning more gay.
    I'd like to add that a lot of people who say they are straight aren't pretending. I think that's you projecting a bit your own confusion and bisexuality. I've learnt a bit from watching other bisexual people channels talking about their sexuality that bisexuality can be very confusing at times and not always so cut and dry as to say I'm attracted to both women and men at all times equally. There's straight people who know they are straight and only attracted to the opposite sex, as there is gay people who know they're gay and only attracted to the same sex. I can assure you of this because I'm monosexual(straight) and have never been confused about my sexuality or had any romantic or sexual attraction or desire for the same sex. Sometimes I wish I did because I get on far better with my own sex lol. I have a pretty strong identity and sense of self in general and I know who I am and what I like on at least a basic level, which I'm grateful for as I know a lot of people can struggle in these areas.
