are we all bi curious



Are We All Bi-Curious?

When the term bisexual comes to mind, the first thought for most

people is usually that of a young woman who is just oozing with

sexuality. Some people would even classify this kind of woman as being

sexually overcharged.

But what would you think if I told you that all humans are bi-curious

by nature? I think that most people would have a hard time excepting

this theory and would become uncomfortable with just the thought alone

that they themselves just may be bi-curious. Men especially would find

this theory a little hard to swallow, no pun intended.

The fact remains that bisexuality is nothing new to modern society and

has been practiced by ancient man.

It might shock some people to learn that in ancient Greece, same-sex

relationships were mandatory for the Spartans between the younger boys

and the adult men. This was deemed acceptable so long as the men

eventually married and had children. The belief was that love and

erotic relationships between the experienced soldiers and the rookie

soldiers would create a stronger bond and that the soldiers would

fight more fearlessly as they wanted to impress their lovers.

However, in today's society, something like what occurred between the

Spartans in ancient Greece would not be socially acceptable with

modern man.

A man who engages in sexual acts with another man is quickly labeled

as a homosexual, regardless of whether or not his sexual preference

might lean more towards woman.

Woman, on the other hand, can engage in sexual relations with one

another and not be automatically labeled as a lesbian. Most people

would probably assume that the woman was "just being curious".

I have come up with my own beliefs about bisexuality that I'm sure

many people would disagree with. But it's my theory, so what can you

do?

My theory states that all humans on this earth exhibit some traits of

bisexuality. That's not to say that all people act on it. It's just to

say that the traits are there.

As children, we are curious about our bodies. It is this curiosity

that often leads children as young as 4-years-old to explore their

bisexuality among their peers, though this is more of a common

occurrence between little girls then with little boys.

As adults, this trend continues. Women tend to be more open to the

idea of experimenting with their bisexuality. It maybe due to the fact

that woman have already become comfortable with this type of behavior

from childhood. It could also have something to do with the fact that

the behavior is more socially accepted by society. A woman, who is

deemed bisexual, often becomes more desirable to men simply because

most men have the ever recurring fantasy of being with two women at

once.

Men however, tend to be classified as being homosexual if they even

entertain the idea of experimenting with their bisexuality and are

somewhat less desired by woman.

In a sense bisexuality may not even really exist. Most people who

classify themselves as being bisexual will always have a stronger

preference one way or the other, thus defining their sexual

preference. But why do we feel the need to put people in one category

or the other?

Simply stated: because it's human nature to do so. Having labels such

as "straight", "gay" or "bi" lets others know what you prefer and

whether or not it's safe for them to approach you if they're

interested.

Bisexuality is the gray area of sexual orientation. Unlike being gay

or straight, who have a sexual preference one way or the other, a

bisexual can opt to go either way, which tends to confuse most people.

Alfred Kinsey, who was the founder of what is now referred to as

"sexology", developed the Kinsey Scale which was designed as an

attempt to measure sexual orientation.

This is a copy of the scale:

Because most straight women have a tendency to experiment with their

bisexuality, they would be scored as either a 1 or 2, according to the

scale. On the other hand, most straight men would score a 0 since they

are less likely to toy around with their sexuality.

I, myself, would score about a 2 based on the Kinsey Scale. (Don't act

surprised. Most women you know are probably the same way. They just

don't admit to it. It is completely sexually healthy to have the

occasional roll-in-the-hay with a member of the same sex. Besides, for

a straight woman, it's the loophole to cheating).

Although most men would score a 0, according to the Kinsey Scale, it

is my belief that straight men who are too worried to experiment

physically with their bisexuality due to society standards, still find

other ways to explore their bisexual side.

It is my belief that movies, such as Troy, Alexander, and the more

recent 300, are all homoerotic movies created by men for men to serve

the purpose of allowing straight men to safely somewhat indulge in

their bi-curiosity without fear of being chastised or being labeled a

homosexual, and all under the guise of the movie being labeled a War

movie.

Straight men also tend to push their women partners into anal sex as a

way to experiment with their bi-curiousness. Society does not

considered this to be homosexual behavior since the men are

penetrating a woman's anus as opposed to a mans anus, though it is

really all the same.

The fact remains that whether you choose to admit to it or not, the

human species, by nature, is bi-curious. There are many who may never

act out on their curiosity, but the thoughts in their mind will always

exist even if they never share it with another sole on this earth.

Like it or not, we are all bi-curious.
