Why I love being bisexual

[Rex]

I used to think having an attraction to guys was something "wrong".

Now I am a much more open minded and better person for it. One I became at ease with myself, I started seeing everything differently and, for lack of better word, made me a more loving person. I think it's made look at things from different perspectives and made me a more accepting person. I think I attribute this a lot to myself being bisexual, because once I learned to accept myself, I learned to accept all other types of people. I think it is a blessing in disguise.


I love being bisexual.


Has anyone else felt that feeling once they came to terms with who they are?

Coming out or coming to terms with myself didn't necessarily make me a better person, but it did allow me to be a nicer, less bitter one.

This. And yes, I think being gay has had a lot to do with that.

You seem to get along much better with people here.
Don't give up the pussy though.
Have you had any lately?

Not lately but there is a cute little thing I'm pursuing at work.

Being open with who I am and not giving a flying fuck what people thought of it made me a stronger, more "real" person. Being gay and perhaps a metalhead were both catalysts.

Sadly, this has not made me more loving - more aware and more open-minded, sure, but my heart didn't grow three sizes that day.

Sultan, in all fairness, I think if anyone owes JUB a debt of gratitude, it is you. Your fellow JUBbers have listened to you and encouraged you, when you needed encouragement and kicked your ass when you needed that. You used the encouragement to learn and you were man enough to accept the ass kicking. I like that you hold your ground when you believe strongly in something and that you have learned to admit when you were wrong. This has not always been true of you. Your friends here at JUB have helped to knock off some rough edges and you were willing to submit to you. This is not just about your sexuality, either. Keep growning as a complete man.

I 've been bi for at least 50 years and not only love it, but Damn proud of it! Takes a real man to admit it it. most guys hide it.

Coming to terms and accepting the things about ourselves that we can't change is liberating. It takes the pressure that we put on ourselves to conform. I can understand how it has made you feel free and accepting. It did the same thing to me. Once I accepted my gayness and realized it was part of who I am, NOT who I am, it made my life much easier.

I think age plays a part in this too, as we mature, we care less and less about such trivialities as sexuality. Other things become more important.

Now go get that hottie and work, and take pics so we can see!!

I think it's one of the more conflicting things I have to live with.

I frequently think about changing my name. Because I carry a third generation name in my family, I know some of my pursuits will drag the family name into the mud.

But it is sort of comforting to know there are options not so limited for me.

Realizing I was gay brought me into the sunlight. I cannot think of a healthier experience in my life

For me, forgiving my Father was more of a weight-lifter than coming to terms with my Sexuality...

The desire to know my Family history and where I came from was always Primary. Before I got the answers I needed from my Father I can't say that I had what some would call a "battle with my Sexuality".....I knew early on that I was attracted to Guys I just waited till after high-school to date one....I knew I could never change or try to change my Sexuality...Having a relationship with my Father is something I could try to achieve.

When I finally made the Connection with my Father I was able to Love Life even more because not having his acknowledgement was the ONLY thing that kept me from being "whole"...

My relationship with my Family, My Faith, My Sexuality, Career, & Friendships took on new meaning because I was holding on to "Hurt". Forgiving my Father was the BEST thing I ever did for myself....

I think that being gay has given me a much wider perspective on sexuality, and a better understanding of both men and women. I wouldn't want to trade that.

 

[AngelFromAbove]

Being open-minded and self-aware is related to an individual's personality, ability to progress and mature as opposed to one's sexuality. In other words, it's not your being bisexual, but it's just your ability to change and understand.

Cute? Straight guys dont say cute

I know some guys who are pretty straight--at least straighter than I am lol--and they'll say that. But Sultan may be also referring to a girl Besides, he's bi

I have to agree that I do have more insight on sexuality because of who I am. There can be grey area, and that's ok. Now, when it comes to talking to people I am close with, that may be another story.

Yes, you feel less pressure from society made you a better person.
