Can Anyone be Truly Bisexual?

A piece exploring reasons why many women claim to be bisexual.

Can anyone be truly bisexual?

Probably, but this article isn’t about those people. There are obviously people who actually are gay, lesbian, and even bisexual, but there are also people who claim to be something that they are not for attention. This article is about the people, mostly women, who claim to be bisexual, but are either simply confused or who purposely use this sexual identity to gain an edge over other women for the attention of men.

There are several types of women who claim to be bisexual, but in all actuality, probably are not. The first type claims to be a lesbian at first, in an effort to garner male attention. Now, I know this may seem counterproductive, but it works. Men tend to want what they cannot have. A woman who would otherwise be completely unappealing to men suddenly becomes desirable once the man thinks that she is only interested in other females. She becomes a challenge, and so, the man works tirelessly to try to win her over. Being the arrogant creature that he is, he believes that the “lesbian” simply hasn’t met the right man yet, and knows that if she could just give him a chance, he could bring her back to the “home team.” Eventually, the woman will “fall” for the man, which was her plan all along. She will then “decide” that she is bisexual rather than a lesbian, when in reality she has probably never had a serious relationship with another woman in her life and any sexual experiences she has had with women were simply for show. Once the relationship falls apart (as all relationships that are based on lies inevitably do), the woman will commonly revert back to a “lesbian” sexual identity and start the whole process all over again.

Similar to this, there are the girls who start out by claiming to be bisexual, simply to seem more attractive to men. Usually these are also the girls who most men wouldn’t look twice at in any other situation. You will commonly find these girls at bars and clubs making out with their female friends, which of course, gets them a lot of attention from men. It’s no secret that girl-on-girl porn is one of the most popular types of porn for men, and some women try to take advantage of this. By claiming to be bisexual, and openly engaging in bisexual and lesbian activities in public, men will see these women as sexually open and willing to try just about anything. This makes these women desirable, but only for short term relationships, or for casual sex. This will end up hurting the women who do this in the long run, but they are generally so desperate for male attention that they don’t think about the long term.

    As a gay man I find most male bi-sexuals to be gay men saying they are bi-sexual so they’ll appear more ‘normal’. Newsweek did an article on this a few years ago, every bi-sexual male they interviewed had an opposite sex mate and acted out homosexually on the side: also called on the down low. It is rare (I’m not saying impossible) to find a bisexual male that has a male partner and needs to go be with a female sexually.
    Good piece.

    I think your categories are neat and organized but completely unlike the real world. I am a straight man and I can tell you that one of the reasons a bi sexual or lesbian woman is attractive is because of the lack of strings attached. Men love sex and men love sex with women they won’t have to support and nurture even more. If a woman is coming on to a guy and at the same time telling him how she really wants to be with her friend Jessica this signals jack pot for the man. Hey I might get laid by one girl or maybe even by 2 but the best part is after we are done she is probably going to go back to Jessica.
    I am not sure of the motivations of Bi sexual women but I am fairly sure a lot of them are just confused. They may genuinely be physically attracted to women but still crave a man in their lives or long to have a family.
    I agree with Clay above on Gay Men. There is definitely gay men that enjoy sex with women but I have yet to see a bi man fall in love with a woman and abandon the gay lifestyle with the possible exception of religious conversions but those men are not reacting naturally they are making a difficult choice to abstain from gay sex.

    there are different kinds of sexuality.
    it simply cannot be defined for some people…
    and unfortunately for those people it becomes a way of life. I myself have sincerely been in relationships with both men an women. As a women i can say that the concept of what society views as a relationship is often disfigured when it cannot be explained. The question i believe isnt to do with the actual gender one is with at the point in time but rather can society handle women/men potentially being formerly polygamous? lets scarp the idea of this myth that there is only one person to love in life.. as there are many..

    I agree on msot things int his article, but at the end, you say people should only have sex if tehre physically or emotionally atracted? Not all people are like that, does ti really matter if your emotionally connected? And, if your really emotionally attracted, does it matter if they’re physically atracted?

    to GH, yes it does matter. If you’re not emotionally connected, sex would be meaningless, and ultimately unfulfilling. But if you’re not physically attracted, it would also be unfulfilling, if you would even be able to get aroused enough to have sex in the first place.

    i am a bisexual woman, i dont do it for male attention. i find females and males to be both equally sexually attractive….
    this article was well put together, but it really rather offended me.

    I found this article ignorant. It has its own agenda… that bisexuals are “hurting” the LBGT movement. How is that? You could equally say that the high profile of LBGT encourages people to try being bi because they so totally accept gays and want to have a gay experience as a form of solidarity. To not have a gay experience could be seen as prejudice. Some people try to date minorities to not seem racist… similar thinking. I believe that everyone is a little bi and to act on it has nothing to do with attracting men. When I as a woman have these feelings I sure would not want men to be a part of it. Making out with other women at parties is not the same as having sex. Our bodies were made for pleasure and both sexes can give it. To expand your range does not hurt gays and lesbians; you have no right to criticize others because you feel you are authentic and they are not. We all are what we are.
