Bi and a guy?

“Mancho Mancho man. You are a, Mancho man!” So your Bi, and a guy? That’s Awesome! and you should be proud of who you are. So you’ve thought about coming it? That’s cool too. Lets explore the positives and negatives and the gritty and awkward stuff out of the way first.Being bi and a guy can be difficult. Perceptions vary depending on the person, but you will not likely be perceived at the same level as a bisexual female. (If you don’t believe this, go into your average doctor’s office and claim to be a bisexual male. Watch the eyebrows go up lol). A bi male has lots of stereotypes to contend with since you are part of the LGBT community. Now, You’re a dude, and life actually may be more difficult for you because some people will not understand bisexuality in a male. If you decide to come out and want to settle down with a girl or guy, do not be surprised if they reject you because your bi. (It sucks, I know. But it is a possibility). Some people cannot coup with having a boyfriend that likes both sexes. Its biphobia, and its just one of those things you have to deal with. Now, this is something to keep in mind, but be fearful about. Know that people will perceive you differently because of who and what you are, but also know that this is their problem. If they really like/love/understand you as an individual, then they will have to accept it. Now with all of that negative stuff in your mind, let’s get to the good stuff. Being an openly bi male may be confusing, but it is also great. The saying “The best of both worlds” applies and you have the ability of finding great people in not just one gender, but two. Get some! You have the joys of meeting hot, sexy, straight or bi women and hot,sexy, gay or bi guys. Sounds great eh? Well it can be in many ways. The saying “double my chance for a date.” May sound kind of bad, but can be true. Twice the attraction, twice the chance of finding a great person. Use your gift to its fullest potential and don’t be afraid to get out there. Also being openly bisexual gives you more of a chance of finding other people who are in your same predicament  to talk too or even hang out with. Personally speaking, I never thought about coming out until I got to college and met other open bi’s. I then decided to come out because of the open community and at least 13 people know. You never know what will happen until you pursue.

What is bisexuality? Where does it come from? Is there something wrong with me ?

So you may have just noticed, or have known for years that you are different. You may have just looked up at someone of the same sex not long ago and realized “Damn…they are kind of hot.”  Or “I wouldn’t mind seeing them naked.” And then “What the hell is wrong with me?!.”  Or you’ve  always known you found people of both sexes attractive. But why? Im sorry but I cannot solely explain why you feel the way you do. Bisexuality is hard to explain. Research has been done on for years on the subject, but no one can exactly pinpoint what causes people to be attracted to both sexes. Being bi, (as some of you may know if you do have attraction to both sexes) can be extremely confusing and complicated. Especially in a world were bisexuality is seen as being confused, or in denial, or not even existing at all. In fact, bisexuality is something that is very real and occurs more often in society then people think to believe. Statistically it has been proven that 1 in 10 people are gay. However, it has been suggested (and I also believe) that this number is much higher. In fact, almost 1 in 3 people are thought to have some type of homosexual attraction. That is roughly 33% of the population. So no need to feel embarrassed or lost. You are not alone. Actually a large percentage of people who are bisexual (and other LGBT) will not disclose their attraction to the same sex solely on fear of persecution and being shunned in society. Only 1.3% of the American population considers themselves “Bisexual”. But to answer your question, you probably feel the way you do because you simply have feelings for both sexes. It may be a phase, it may not be. But this website is here to help you.

You have come here because your different. Perhaps you were always told that you were because of your attitude and perceptions. Perhaps you realized later that you were different from other people. Perhaps you were attracted to just women, or just men. Or you were like us, and found beauty in both.  The main reason for this site is to cater to the awareness of bisexuality internationally. However, all are welcome! There are no restrictions too who you are. Let yourself be known here at Imdiffrent2
