Won't they always find a monogamous relationship only half fullfilling?  Would it be like twice the competition for their spouses?  Also, do bi's like both genders equally or is there usually one they're attracted to more than the other?

anyone can have a monogamous relationship.  sexuality has nothing to do with loyalty.

i think the answer going through most peoples heads when reading this, is they would CHOOSE to ignore their feelings!!!\n\nCould they be with a member of the own sex though, and CHOOSE to ignore they were straight????\n\nWalk a mile in my shoes..........

Speaking form personal experience, it's both physical and emotional.  I had been bi from about the age of 12, so I have been in relationships with men before, after 5 years of no men I can honestly say that I am happier now and was probably straight up lesbian all along.  I was never in fear of what a relationship with a man would mean, nor am I now.  I just happen to find women much more appealing, who wouldn't want a woman's body?  Plus, the emotional connection is much different.  Women connect with women on a different level, as do guys.  Most of my friends are men, but I only date women.

I believe most people are bisexual.  It just depends on how open to the idea you are.

I am Bi amd married. I believe there should be no secrets in a marriage/relationship so I have told my hubby about it. We have a mutual girlfriend. One does not have to CHOOSE, you can be bi and be happy! I am!

Honestly, I think some people simply don't explore that option because they're happy with their sexuality, even if the same sex may seem enticing. I look at other women and of course I am capable of acknowledging an attractive one. I've even contemplated a three-some between my boyfriend and one of my friends. It is an interesting topic, but I personally think that despite what others may tell themselves, I'm pretty sure most people have thought about exploring this option of flirtation between the same sex.

Do you mean, Do bisexual couples come with bisexual men. I think they do. If they r 2 bisexual males. Then that would make them a bisexual couple.\n( u would get more answers, if you are more clear)

I think that commitment has been mistaken with monogamy. I don't think that any man, gay or straight wants to be fully monogamous. We like to dip our stick, and variety. But there are people that will refrain or can contain those urges. I thin it's irrational. YOu can have a commitment and not be monogamous, and if you both agree to that, even better! (no nead for cheating)

I think bisexuals are the luckiest of all sexual persuasions. Bisexuality isn't about lusting for men and women equally, bisexuality is about being sufficiently emotionally flexible that you can fall in love with either sex. \n\nThink about it. Heterosexuals are limited to half the world's population when trying to find a potential mate. Homosexuals have the same problem. But bisexuals (theoretically) have twice the possibilities because love can strike them anywhere, with anyone. \n\nThat, my dear, isn't a case of confusion. In a world where everyone wants to be loved, being bisexual is a type of manna from heaven, or maybe just plain old-fashioned good luck. Take your pick.

Have you guys ever heard of the Kinsey scale I am a 3 on that scale so I am in the middle I am attracted to both sexes and it is both a blessing and a curse. I can find pleasure in the mainstream but at the same time I am discriminated against by both sides of the fence. I am constantly being told that bisexual is just a stop on the way to gayville, and that I am undecided. Well you know what I didn't decide to be this way it is not a choice. I am the way god made me. I desire my wife and yet I also desire men. Why would I chose to be this way. Or if I was just gay why would I be able to find such joy in sex with my wife. I love her and chose her yet still desire to be with a man. That part of me is unfulfilled because I made a vow to be true to my wife. I hope that just one of you people that read this understands how it feels to be denied and questioned by both gay and straights. I am sorry didn't mean to get on a soap box but as a gay person it makes you guys angry when straights ask why you chose to be gay or says that being gay is wrong. And that god didn't make you gay. It feels the same way when a gay person questions if we are truly bisexual.\n\nYenko I love your response I wish I could talk to you.

What if you met someone, fell in love and then they said they were bi, would you leave??  no way....  If you really like this person and this person wants to hook up with someone and this doesn't bother you, have some fun!

It's possible to be in love with several people at the same time. Confusing, but possible.\nSome people believe that people are not naturally monogamous - that monogamy, like other forms of marriage, is a cultural construct. As such, not everybody fits into the same square holes. This can cause people a lot of trouble, but it is best to be honest with yourself, and then with the lovers in your life. \nAfter wife # 1 (a complete disaster) I knew I couldn't be monogamous, and with wife # 2, I told her this and we had an open marriage. It lasted 5 years, and we are still good friends. Neither one of us was particularly jealous by nature, and I know many other people who aren't. Having lived through it though, I no longer embrace open marriage. I keep my extra lovers on the fantasy level, and keep my real relationship real.

It sounds more like you're talking about polyamory.\n\nExcept for the marriage part, it hits everything you have mentioned.\n\nBeing polyamorous, I'll tell you that it's rarely about the sex. No more than you having a someone you date or would marry is about the sex.\n\nHaving multiple partners is both very rewarding and extremely difficult. You have to do a helluva lot of communicating, if you want to keep things together. You have to deal with your own insecurities and jealousies. \n\nI dated my ex-bf and ex-gf for a while, breaking up about a year ago. Lack of communication was a serious part of it. He wasn't much into talking or about the compromise needed when you are with more than one person. Eventually I had to leave them. I am still very much in love with them. \n\nI've quite a few friends with very long-term, loving relationships. Good friends of my wife and I are two couples that live together. They are all intimate with each other, except for the guys (straight). They been together for a very long time and have 10 kids. When the kids are old enough, they are usually told what the situation is, but the younger ones just consider it normal to have 4 parents. Strangely enough, the quad (a four person group, like that) is pretty politically conservative. I'm hoping they'll grow out of it. :)\n\nPolyamory is by no means for everyone. For some of us, it's the only ethical answer, to keep from cheating.

I think it depends a lot on where you are and who you talk to. In a large city, the odds are that there will be a lot of people who have no problem with homosexuality or bisexuality. In a more rural area, however, all bets are off. Also, the coasts (in America, at least) tend to be much more open-minded towards gays and bis than the mountain and midwest states are.\n\nAs to whether people find bisexuality more acceptible than homosexuality, that depends a great deal on the individual. For most conservative Bible-thumpers, it's not going to matter much whether you also have an interest in women; as long as you like men you're a wicked Sodomite. For more moderate straight people, it might be viewed in a more positive light. If you at least still like the opposite gender, you still make 50% sense to them. And generally people who are supportive of gays will also be supportive of bisexuals.\n\nOne place you might actually get less support than you might hope is the gay community. A certain percentage of gays and lesbians (by no means a majority, but enough to be unpleasant) believe that bisexuals are just homosexuals who haven't fully come out of the closet. Another, similar, belief is that bisexuals are just straight people who are trying to be cool (which is pretty ridiculous; it makes about as much sense as the people that say homosexuality is a choice). The majority of gays and lesbians will likely be supportive, though.\n\nIn some ways, bisexuals can get the short end of the stick when it comes to attitudes, because they get attacked by both straights and gays who can't understand the concept of liking more than one gender. But it really is a very individual thing. Some straight people (myself, for example) will have no problem with it, others will hate you. And the same is true, unfortunately, of gays. Also, bi women tend to get more respect from straight people than bi men. Chalk it up to sexism.\n\nI don't want to make it sound bleak. The majority of people in most places aren't going to give a damn either way. And in a way, it doesn't really matter. You are who you are. If you experiment with guys and you decide that you are bisexual, then it doesn't matter what other people think of you, it won't change who you are. Pretending to be something or someone you are won't help anything in the long run. Life's too short to spend it lying to yourself or others.\n\n"This above all: to thine own self be true."

I think people forgot the whole "everyone is beautiful in their own way"\n\nI think a bi guy is just as sexy as a straight guy, or full gay guy, or girls for that matter, sexual preference should have nothing to do with how you feel about a person.\n\npeople are just ignorant and refuse to see the world is changing...oh well, they'll just have to get used to it :)

Neither. The bisexuals would win as they would just console grievieng spouses. There are too many people on one side that would be working for the enemy ( that is either in the closet or pretending to be gay for whatever reason).

I would not form an opinion of a couple based solely on this criteria, or on what is written here.  Nor solely on any other criteria.  That is downright narrow minded.  I dont like them because they eat oranges, or they have a foreign car, or they party too much.  \n\nCan the couple love each other?  \n\nAbsolutely yes they can.  That is not to say that there aren other issues that can come out of this type of alternative lifestyle.\n\n  \nExample:  A happily married couple, the wife is bisexual, she refuses to act on this by herself and so discusses it with her husband.  They set up a system of rules for behavior and limits which allows her to act on her needs and includes him in the process.  They have great experiences together, and their love (and trust) grows.  They start a family, priorities change, and they chill on the 3-somes.\n\nIt is a fine line, and honesty is key.  Likewise, when you play with fire, dont cry when you get burned.
