Re: Bisexuality: Nurture or Nature? s your current bisexual status based on a decision to change your orientation, or have you been bisexual your whole life?
I think the first time that I realized that I may be something other than straight was in my later teens. My friend and I ran across her brothers playboy magazines and I found myself very curious about the pictures. I found them strangely attractive or as Pepper said stimulating. I still found myself more attractive to men, but there was something there that I knew probably wasn't normal and, for the most part, just kept that to myself. If it was a decision, what were your influences? (ie. magazines, spousal encouragement, acting on curiosities, etc.)
My first bisexual experiance was with someone we met at a swingers dance. I actually started out the evening with her husband (and my husband with her). But found out she was bi sexual. One night when we were out to a club (vanilla) she came home (with her hubby's knowledge) for a threesome. It just felt natural to have sex with her and she never once pressured me into doing anything I didn't want to. It was a great experiance and that's when I realized that I enjoyed women, even if I enjoy men even more.
If you've been bisexual your whole life, were there influences that made you think that you were other than bisexual? (ie. getting married and having a family, more same-sex relationships than norm, etc.) How have you found your current status beneficial to your personal growth?
It has made me a little more confident in myself. I am more open at swingers events and able to flirt freely with both men and women. It is kinda of liberating knowing that I am not so different or a freak and that there are lots of other people like me.
