All of that is absolutely true, but personally I believe that a person has the innate capacity for attraction to any gender, then through a life of experiences people learn to experience people in a different way, for some they end up straight, for some they end up gay for some they end up / stay bisexual. I believe that everyone has a sexual preference for both sexes, some feel comfortable enough to act on those preferences with both sexes, some with just one. Based on any number of criteria they grow this comfortable with either or both sexes, it is rare that people grow equally comfortable sexually with both genders, but it happens sometimes, when it does the resultant orientation is bisexual.

This is patently and scientifically untrue.

Most people are straight. Most = 80%+. They don't just learn to experience sexuality in different ways. People all grow up in what is essentially the same cookie cutter environment (Mother, Father, and siblings - aka nuclear family).

Studies suggests most who identify as "Bisexuals" are just scared gays. Most = 90%+

It is scientifically unsound for a population to have many gays anyway. It would be disastrous to species survival.

But you are not someone with a background in science I assume, just a single Bi-sexual identifying male who believes his own experiences dictate the norm...

Well I haven't seen these studies, but I would argue those straight people have just grown up in a way that means they are personally uncomfortable having sex with someone of the same sex.

I'm bisexual. Not a "scared gay".

Source?

Peoples sexual orientation isn't logical, it isn't based just on evolution or survival of the species.

I believe my own experience / research, unless you are going to post the "studies" you refer to, I see no reason.

Also wtf?! "Bisexual identifying" I am bisexual, not just "identifying" myself that way.

Sexual orientation is absolutely "logical". There is a reason for why it exists, even if it is just a mutation, a disease, a psychological disorder... whatever you want to believe in (whether it's true or not). It is not "random" like you seem to think.

^ This is the best frank study you will ever find on the reality of Gays and Bisexuals.

Yes, YOU may be a Bisexual and have actual attractions to both sexes, but MOST who call themselves Bisexuals are only attracted to one.

Absolutely, that was what I was trying to say, for the most part behaviour is conscious but there is obviously some behaviour that is involuntary to a degree.

Are you fucking retarded? There is no way a straight man could physically get an erection from another man. There are no more than 1 preferences for a straight man. Has nothing to do with how you were raised, or how "comfortable" you are.

Nothing you say or proclaim should be taken seriously as you have openly discussed that you have mental issues.

Well that's not my experience of bisexuality, I know a few bisexuals, you are BI sexual. I'll read that study and get back to you.

Are you fucking retarded? I read to here. Come back without the insult and I may reply.

Read my edited post, the study about Bisexuals is in the second link about "Lies people tell".

That is interesting but from what I read of it it's aimed at love site profiles, I'm not trying to impress, I'm not trying to come across as something I'm not, I am sexually attracted to both men and women, this is a fact of my life and existence, I'm something I'm happy with. It's a part of who I am and everyone who knows me is aware of it.

I absolutely believe you, but it's time to face the science. The "love site" as you call it is a Dating Site in the US, the most popular free one next to Plenty of Fish.

I am sure there are Bisexuals out there who are actually attracted to both sexes sexually like you, but you are a superminority. Most people who call themselves Bi-sexual aren't like you, they are either straight or gay with ulterior motives or psychological issues.

Yeah I'll give you that, while I do know people I consider true bisexuals I also know the "attention whore" "bisexuals" mainly women that say it to excite men. Very irritating these people are.

Irrelevancies upon and within irrelevancies: the people in the OP video and the comments in subsequent posts in this thread.

I couldn't care less what someone calls me... or if some social conservatives with their heads up their asses want to change the terminology. Only the insecure and/or immature give a sh!t what other people call them.
