Bisexual in a hetero relationship
(Closed) Bisexual with heterosexual tendencies? Bi-curious? Heteroflexibility?
Bees,
I am very hesitant to put this out there (thus the anon account) because I am so confused myself. I hope someone can help manual me through my feelings? (I don&#;t even know if &#;feelings&#; is the right word for this.) Nonetheless, I was recently listening to a podcast that finally gave me the shove to put this out in the open.
Some background: I&#;ve only ever dated men. I&#;ve only ever had sentimental and sexual relationships with men. I am currently married and completely in love with a man. However, I always dream about women.
Since I first learned about porn, I have watched girl-on-girl porn. Male and female porn never turned me on. I possess pretty regular sex dreams involving other women and myself. And, although I think this one is pretty usual, I am more than willing to admit when I have a &#;girl crush&#; on another woman.

Being bisexual should be the best of both worlds. There’s no shortage of potential partners when you’re attracted to more than one gender. However, a problem arises when you’re a woman online dating a man, or a man dating a gal. Suddenly, the legitimacy of your bisexuality is up in the air.

It’s easy to let mean comments and bullying get the enhanced of you. You contain probably asked yourself if you’re really bisexual, if you are just faking it for attention, or if you’re actually a lesbian but afraid to admit it. You’ve probably wondered if you’re “gay enough” to be a part of the LGBT+ community, how could you possibly be bisexual if you’ve
It sounds fond you're really worried about your sexual desires interfering with your relationship with your boyfriend. That is understandable. I would fancy to note that a lot of people fantasize about experiences they wouldn't engage in real being. I'm not saying you would never want to be with a miss, but it doesn't sound like you'd do that while you're in a relationship.
You said you feel like you demand to try women eventually. Is this more out of curiosity or are you interested in a relationship with a woman? I ask that because you also mentioned that you see a future with your boyfriend. Amend me if I'm erroneous, but it sounds to me like you are feeling sexual desire for women but not necessarily the sexual AND affectionate desire you feel for your boyfriend.

What I've learned as a multi-attracted woman in a straight relationship
Exploring and understanding my bisexuality has been a lifelong journey; one that came to life in the European gay bars when I lived abroad in
As I made new friends, danced to Beyoncé songs, and watched drag queens take over the stage every Tuesday night, I felt free. I was unapologetically myself, and the sweaty strangers around me loved and recognized me for it.
After returning to the US, I wanted to find my first girlfriend. I didn't expect that a limited months later I would launch a long-term relationship with a straight man.
With my newfound happiness came a slew of questions. Will I still be recognized in queer spaces? How will I deal with people assuming that I'm straight, simply because of my partner's gender?
Bisexual people often exist in a gray area, simultaneously ostracized by the LGBTQ+ community as not "gay enough" and heterosexual people as not "straight enough." That may explain why, according to one recent study, most bisexual people say their friends and family don't know their
