Good video but hard to do when what I’m craving is loyalty and consistency. It’s why I crave both men and women because I’m not getting it from either.
Hey thanks for sharing. You mentioned you are craving loyalty and consistency. Try going a little deeper. Loyalty and consistency are what you want other people to do for you. If someone was loyal and consistent for you, how would you feel? That’s the need there. Then practise the technique I set out towards the end of the video. You can create it for yourself. You can. Sending all the very best.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️🌈
I like tuning in because you always offer -food- a buffet for thought.
Ah thanks so much and for always giving such lovely comments. Happy Pride to you.
Pokhraj bhai aap yahan bhi?milkr acha lga wapis😂
@@swetamalya1012 Hi! Nice to see you too
6:05 It’s like how a crush is not merely love but an idea of a certain person.
Even though I'm happily not in a relationship, there are a lot of of good points in this segment to ponder.
This was a really interesting test. As a man who is going through divorce (wife of 10yrs’ choice to leave, but making life quite unpleasant in the process), I found my same-sex feelings ‘came back.’ I did get ‘excitement’ as a word but the main ones I got were ‘safe’, ‘content’, ‘secure’. Which makes a lot of sense, but I hadn’t made the connection.
Hey I’m so glad it resonated for you. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it.
This is really cool! Thank you.
I have always been happy being bisexual. I know it comes from being cut off from girls when I was younger but I’m ok with it.
I was thinking I was looking for a fun encounter with a female. I just want fun, not love. I have never had much fun in every day life with females. For me, my attraction to women is all about connection and fun. It’s interesting that you thought about excitement and other people in the comments thought about excitement and fun.
Thank you! I will listen to more of your channel before I recommend it to others. Thank you and have a great day 💜
Hey thank you so much for tuning in. I’m so glad this was helpful. You totally deserve to have fun and connection. That’s the joy of it. So grateful for you recommending as well. It helps a lot. Big love.
All I want and desire in a relationship is a sense of care and emotional connection, but my ex did not give me that. I found it in a man, which is worrying.
I'm glad to have found your channel, I've been enjoying your content a lot, thank you for the work that you're doing :) . In one of your other videos you mentioned the reasons why you wouldn't date a straight woman and I felt a little bit demoralised as it felt very generalising and not inclusive to the straight population. I am a straight woman in a relationship with a bi man and the reason why I am here and seeking more bi content is because I want to understand and hear him better.
My goal is to be able to be the best partner that I can and encourage and support him to be his best queer self without any fear in a straight facing relationship, I guess my comment has two parts, 1. would you consider making some content specifically for straight partners of bi people? (how to deal with insecurity about those things you can't provide?, how to talk about needs and desires in a safe way for both?, how to talk about these topics without the fear that you're exhausting your partner by having to explain things? -which I gathered is one of your personal discomforts-, how to nurture an environment where talking about sexuality and desires becomes more usual? and 2. related to this video: as a partner, how do you support your SO on the same-sex urges? and do you think that the method that you mentioned would work long term? thank you so much!
Hey thanks for your comment. I’m so glad that it’s been helpful. I’m sorry that my other video was demoralising. It sounds like you are a wonderful ally and making so much effort for your partner. This is really beautiful to see. Actually I started recording a video on this very topic but didn’t finish it so watch out soon for this content. If you hit the bell for notifications next to the subscribe button it will tell you when I release a new video. I’ll be releasing something on this soon. I’ve noted those really helpful points you made about what challenges you tend to face and I will definitely try to incorporate that. As for this video yes the technique is a long term one for sure. Your partner’s same gender attraction is not separate from his attraction to you but we tend to cut them off. Loving him is about loving all of him and seeing him as a whole person. This may involve breaking down some ideas about your role and your identity as well. But it’s ultimately beautiful. You’re doing so great by making the effort to learn. That’s 99% of it honestly. Big love to you both.
@@notdefining thank you for your reply, looking forward to the video :)
Thanks for the video! U r always choosing such interesting topics!
I find myself questioning the same again: Are bi urges any different from straight urges?
I feel they are indeed different, but I have a hard time trying to explain it to my friends and partners...
Some of the research shows it is different.
A general pattern - not everyone but a general pattern - is we are more sexually attracted to the same sex and more emotionally attracted to the opposite sex. That is definitely the case for me. 💜
@@catherinehume9193 may I ask... Which research? How can I access to it?
I feel like some light on this matter would help me greatly
What if that urge is not sentimental at all? If it's only about certain body parts or acts that only a person with a different gender from your partner can provide? Is this a valid urge? Also finding that core need seems a bit hard to define in this context. Is fetishizing body parts from same gender a valid bisexual mark?
Good question. All attractions have an emotional charge behind them. There is no such thing as a purely physical attraction. You can always find the feeling behind the attraction even if it feels very physical.
Happy Pride, Mark!! 🏳🌈🏳⚧Thanks for the video!!
I think we love the idea of the person more than the person themselves. We are deserving of someone, including ourselves, who will fulfill our deepest desires and emotional needs. The heart wants what it wants. It's not that we are asking for the wrong things. Sometimes, we ask the wrong people or at the wrong times. Nonetheless, love is love. Our person will understand and accept this about us!!
Thank you. Happy pride to you too. 🩷🩷🩷
Hmm. I've never felt bad about being like "I'd like a piece of that" male or female. It just reminds me I'm making an active choice to be with my boyfriend. It's not bad, which I think the guilt is really pushed, so you don't have to feel bad about feeling desire, just use it to reflect. Does my boyfriend have a soft kissable face? No, he's got a big beard, but I _like_ big beards. I try to enjoy what I enjoy about men in him, and enjoy the feminine in other ways.
That works for me though, I sympathize for those who are struggling. If I didn't figure out how to work with my quirks and do the things that are required of me, I imagine I would be extremely distressed.
thank you and Happy Pride Month🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
And to you too my lovely 🩷
For me I've been bisexual since high school over 20 yrs ago and i married my wife bit when I told her I was bi she just straight face me and delt with it since and the type of men I'm into is the quiet silent type with a big heart and the party drag type like the characters ted and Emmitt from queer as folk now its hard to find that type with my age and I just feel numb
I’m separated from my wife but I love male Sex much Better
Hello.
Hello.
What advice you would give for someone who is obssesed about labels and how they must identify?
I just want to know how i have to.identify..
You don’t have to identify any particular way. It’s your choice what labels to use. If you are obsessed with it there is probably some fear behind it. Like how will people think of you. Try to get rid of the fear if you can. You choose. It’s your identity. No one can tell you how to identify but you. The buck stops with you. And you don’t have to have a label at all. It’s no one’s business.
Well the reason why i am obsses is because it seems that the sexuality label that we use its impotant and you have to be 100% sure(this is the thinking of the other people not mine)
To take my point:
Lets say that a person who is atraccted to both genders identiy as bisexual
Now the time pass.
And this person realises that is more more atracted to the same gender.
Its ok that this person identifies as gay now or should identify as bisexual?
I agree with you,i don't give have to be an explanation or justify anithing.
But as humans we care so much about thinks that probably don't concerns us.
I mind thats is MY OPINION.
What would be your advice?
If you could reply i would be helpfull
@@mario2567His point still stands - you can identify however you want. It’s up to you to figure out wether you feel like you are gay or bisexual. From your description I would say you are bisexual because you still feel some (tho less) attraction to the other gender BUT from what you’re saying you WANT to identify as gay. So now the questions are: Which label do YOU want to identify with? Secondly - Do you really actually WANT to label yourself if you are being true to yourself? I feel like you don’t want to identify but feel pressured to do so. Maybe you could „label” yourself as „not defining as anything”? Food for thought, Let me know if you found this helpful 😊 we can continue this conversation
Urges are rare for me
i what be both women and men but i have always love mens from day i was born to now what cause me to have crushs for women was storylines in tv soaps like eastenders and emmerdale coronation street and staff number in my old work who is lesbian cause me have fancy her then my mum was questioning me about it. i was getting so annoyed and upset because i didn't what come out to her and my dad in heaven so i can't really tell him that i like girls too and i love and fancy singer peter andre who sing mysterious girl so much and i got cursh on girl who i know from school but she got boyfriend and her dad knows my dad who died who 2011 from lung Abscess cause by his drinking and i got crush on girl from 90 day fiance call Erika Owens i am in problem and i got autism too so don't know what to do about it
Congratulations, you are pre-qualified for bisexual disaster card.
Hey thank you so much for sharing. I’m also autistic. It is extremely common for autistic people to have a range of attractions to different genders. You are among friends here and totally natural. You are doing just great and we are all here for you.
