I can only speak from my own experience. I am bisexual. I am sexually attracted to both men and women. Men and women both get me hard. If I was really gay and hadn't accepted it I would think that only the men would get me hard...

If a woman can be bisexual, there is no reason why a man can't. Its quite obvious that if they say they are attracted to both genders that they are bisexual. Saying that a man who says they are bisexual is a gay man who hasn't fully accepted it is also saying that any woman who is bisexual is also a lesbian who hasn't accepted it yet. Horribly, horribly wrong.

I thinks its possible for men to be bisexual. I love everything to do with women, how they feel, smell, etc. But if we were to find a bi guy or couple to join us on the the bedroom, then I would switch sides for the time being. She would love to see me interact with another guy.

Really like this graph. I'm a visual learner and this definitely shows there are different 'levels' of sexuality.

Gonna make my devil's advocate post. The idea that bisexual people are just homosexuals who haven't come out of the closet yet, exists, because that is actually very common. For gay people, coming out as bi, either to yourself, or to others, can be a comfortable, safe way to deal with your same-sex attraction. The people who assume bisexuality doesn't exist, do so because there really are gay people who identify as bi. Stereotypes originate in genuine trends.

Okay, so in this same vein...

Should we assume that all straight people are closet homosexuals?
Lots of gay people come out as straight, first, before they find a comfortable, safe way to deal with their same-sex attraction.


And I'm willing to bet that the number of people who identified as straight before they identified as gay is going to be far more significant than the number of people who identified as bisexual before they identified as gay.

But no one "comes out" as straight. The world just assumes you are. You have to come out as bi. I'm not saying that all bi-identified people are actually gay. Just that some of them are. So this stereotype does represent a genuine phenomenon. Just like the stereotype of promiscuous gay men, does represent a genuine phenomenon of promiscuity in the gay community. To assume that everyone fits the stereotype is foolish and bigoted. But it is also foolish and bigoted to assume that no one does. Stereotypes don't come from nowhere. And it is my belief that the stereotype of bi people being closeted gays, comes from the fact that that actually happens sometimes.

men can absolutely be bisexual. it's a complete double standard to say that women can be bi and men can't. being bisexual has nothing to do with being gay or straight, it has to do with being BI.

I tend to assume everyone is bi until proven otherwise. Other people should try it. It would get rid of that stupid "you can't come out as straight" notion by adding the stipulation of "everyone is attracted to any and all genders until they prove otherwise."

I agree. Of course men can be bi. Anyone can be bi. I've known plenty of people (of both genders) who span the range of the sexuality spectrum.

I have studied in psychology, and technically, no person is fully straight or fully gay. There are levels of what are in between the three.

There are people who have accepted that sexually they are attracted to both females and male - so they are bisexual. They ENJOY and gain pleasure from intercourse with a male and female. Not one more than the other, but both. They can also see themselves having a romantic relationship with either sex and feel comfortable and natural.

There are people who basically say HELL NO to intercourse with anyone of the same sex. Not to impress anyone, but because they only feel sexually, emotionally, mentally, and physically attracted to opposite sex partners. They have no want or need to be with the same sex. However, these people can be confused at one point in their lives - usually teen years, but sometimes childhood and adulthood. This is normal, because as humans our hormones don't pick who we want to be with. We can notice an attractive female if we are female - but that doesn't mean we want to have any relationship with one.

Then there are people who absolutely know they are gay. They can't see themselves with the opposite sex - only the same sex. They feel EMOTIONALLY attracred to same sex partners, and want to spend their lives with a same sex partner. However, they can notice an attractive opposite sex partner just as well as a same sex partner. But like I said before, have no wish to be with one.

People can also change their minds. This is someting very common. Usually happens in teen years. In these years, there is a lot of experimentation. One night with a girl can make a girl think she is lesbian forever. Same with males. But upon entering adulthood, they realize what they really want.

So no, I don't believe that bi men are really gay. The chart above doesn't correctly state the question/theory you are stating. I have a chart in my textbook but I don't know where it is and scanning it would be a pain in the ass. Sexual preferences are determined best by the person, and can change over time.

Wow, really? Anyone can love/be attracted to anyone! Men and women can be any sexuality, it's not limited to gender. >_<

I think the points made in the question aren't mutually exclusive. Of course, men are bisexual. There are so many ways to be bi without having a bisexual identity also. But I think the "doubtfully bi"/closeted gay guy is like the lesbian at college phenom. Enough people dealing with internalized homophobia claim to be "bi" because it feels half straight... or they can appear just sexual voracious rather than omg gay. This is no service to the gay community but its a disservice to bi community also since it perpetuates the "just in it for sex" myth.

Just saying: some men are bisexual and some men are liars. Some may even be both.

Definitely, definitely... I know many legitimately bi men, a few of which are dating women at the moment and have been for a long time... I don't see why any gender would be restricted to certain feelings.
