Ashamed to be bi-sexual?

[rjp44]

did that too

Coming from a small town in the midwest (bible belt) I always saw how difficult it was for anyone who came out of the closet. To be honest I have always been attracted to some women just as much as men. But, because of where I was living and the people surrounding me, I never acted on it. So, I can see where you are coming from, and wish you luck.

I also grew up in a small town. It makes it very difficult to express desires to anyone, because if it's not their thing, too, it will soon be all over town. Thankfully there is the internet now, and like-minded people can much more easily connect.

Yes it is hard to be bi-sexual because many straight people can't accept it and many gay people think your not being honest with yourself. The reality is that sexuality and who you love or don't love can be fluid. When I was younger I had no interest in being with a man either sexually or otherwards, but as I got older I felt more comfortable being with either sex. Hey thats just me, but as a friend of mine told me once
"you have to wake up to yourself in the morning, what you decide to do in any area of your life is your business only"

Lol ! No you wouldn't. I got kicked off the GLBT Alliance for loving a man...who happened to be a closet bisexual. In the eyes of the world, we were a hetero couple. I didn't want to out him just to please my ex-friends. I had to make a choice between them and him. I chose him. The surprising thing is that while so many gays and lesbians fight for the right to love any gender they choose, they turned me on me for loving a man AFTER embracing me years ago back when i was just a girl who digs other girls. Bisexuality is seen as a disease or something by all of these haters. Oh, well. I dont wanna be cured !

Personally I don't volunteer the information to men right upfront because I'm worried they'll only be interested because I enjoy sex with women. I generally do the same when I'm meeting women, too, though I don't feel quite the same amount of reluctance.

In general, I try my best to gauge how people would react before telling them. I can't help fearing some rejection =/

Here in the midwest, I've definitely heard the "you're greedy" thing. It actually turned me off from hanging out with gay men. They always made fun of me for liking pussy. Now that my girlfriend knows I'm bi, I am not ashamed.

The only "shame" I felt about it was actually that people didn't understand and I didn't want to explain it.

A wise man once told me : "Feel no shame for what you are."
