Half Straight: My Secret Bisexual Life

Product Information

Texting can be fun, but if she gets pissed when you aren’t on top of it *especially when she knows you are on a date*, then she is in need of your constant attention. Robin Hornstein, PhD, explains that some of this erasure stems from the fact that for much of history, homosexual men had no other option but to be behaviorally "bisexual.

As one bisexual man once said to me, ‘isn’t coming out as bi just coming out as gay by default if women aren’t interested? Collective studies have shown that having a hobby can lower levels of depression, increase life satisfaction, happiness and self-reported health. Join online groups or communities with like-minded people where it’s safe to open up about your feelings.I’m a staunch LGBTQ ally yet I feel like he gaslighted me so he can keep that side of him a secret and maintain a machismo side by having sex with a woman. Bluntly speaking, heterosexuality is the norm, and people who fall outside the narrow classification are subject to ridicule and discrimination.

And while women’s bisexuality is frequently dismissed or not taken seriously, there’s a reality that it’s much more accepted for a woman to come out as bisexual than it is for a man. You may want to know if someone is bisexual because you want to ask them out or hope to be a supportive friend. I told him I don’t want to be a part of that equation anymore, although I’m not going to lie and say I wouldn’t miss having sex with him. Even some of the most socially liberal women will admit hesitancy to dating bisexual men due to the perceptions of homosexuality that are so harshly eroded into our cultural psyche.

Because after years of being together, it feels like a bait and switch to drop this bombshell about myself. You might say, “I think love is love, so I'm an ally for the LGBTQ+ community,” or “I started questioning my sexuality when I was a preteen, and I finally realized last year that I'm a lesbian. For a long time, the idea of being bi never really occurred to me, as I always looked at it more as exploring a curiosity. I think it’s time to smash through the stigma that there is something wrong with bi men and get many straight women to consider the option that we’re just decent guys who think you’re fit.

Recently, especially with the legalisation of gay marriages, it is easy to see that we have become more relaxed about men being gay, however, why is it that if a guy admitted he likes men and women, people will stare, be confused, and ask questions. Talk to your man about his past romantic partners and take note if he’s ambiguous about their gender. In 2015, only 20 per cent of bisexual people said that their sexuality was an important part of their identity, as opposed to 48 per cent of gay men.
