The whole definition of bi is someone who has sex with both genders. |
- cannot do that unless you have an “open marriage” (which is not a marriage) or a strange throuple or something. |
Nope, it’s someone who experiences sexual attraction to both sexes. You don’t need to act on those urges to be bi. |
So a bisexual in a marriage has to repress half their desire, while a straight person does not. |
- right like a nun or a Priest must repress all sexual desires. Does not sound mentally healthy (outside the priesthood/ nunnery). |

You and the PP who talked about being unable to see how "any bisexual can stay married in an exclusive non-open marriage" must both think that people simply are compelled to act out their sexual desires. Do you think that since bisexuals are attractd to a wider variety of potential partners, the pool of potential affair partners is larger for them? Yes, it surely is, but that does not mean they lack the love, respect, trust, self-control and morality to stay faithful to one person if they choose. |
The pp was right that it’s experience sexual desire for both genders. Bisexual is a sexuality. Is someone not straight until they have straight sex? It’s the attraction, the desire that makes a person their sexuality and not the act itself. A man could have sexual with another man and realize he wasn’t into it and he’s straight. The fact that he had sex with another man once doesn’t make him forever gay. No gay person would consider him gay (or bi). I’m bi and so is my partner. We are monogamous. We are comfortable and happy in a monogamous marriage just like most other people. We aren’t repressing any more than a straight person that sees someone they’re attracted to of the opposite gender but doesn’t act on it because they’re already married. It’s literally the same except for men and women. It’s not that complicated. |
No, a straight married person has to repress their desire to have sex with more than one person for the rest of their life. That’s more than half for most people. |
+1 I’ve known several straight people that cheated. All straight people are forced to repress their identities because they want to cheat. All the straight people in this thread are repressing. All. The. Time. |
As a bisexual myself, I'm going to disagree. I'm married to an opposite sex spouse. With whom I have sex regularly. That satisfies my desires for heterosexual sex and for partners of the opposite gender. My desire for homosexual sex and a partner of the same gender must be squashed...if I am to remain faithful. |
Your desire for “homosexual sex”? What are you, a secret republican? Most of us just call it sex and certainly don’t use the term homosexual like that. |
| Hello fellow gays. Are you ready for homosexual sex? |
I am a lifelong Democrat in my 50's. I use the term to differentiate it from heterosexual sex. I enjoy both quite a bit. They are two different things, to me. |
Straight married people repress their desire for other straight people all the time. It can be done! |
