Are women more bisexual than men?

Pace2008

I've met a few of my mates for the laugh (yes, really for the laugh) out in clubs when we're pretty far gone. If nothing else, I know for sure I don't have the ghey in any way - the slightest rasp of stubble and I'm fit to gag.

I think women find women attractive or more aesthetically pleasing than men in many cases, hence the reason why women are used more to sell products to women and in general.

i would say women are more likely to acknowledge and explore their bisexuality than a bisexual man would be. so maybe this is why there is the perception that more women are bisexual than men

am i wrong?

Yes all women are Bisexual*.. FACT.
And I have the adult movies to prove it.



*Especially while wrestling in a big vat of jelly.

I think the traits shared in attractive women - soft, smooth, slim - would not necessairly be seen as unnattractive to other women, whereas the physical characterics of men - solid, hairy, bulky - would generally be considered a serious turn-off by most males.

Tbh I'd say about ten percent of the 'bisexual' girls you come across are actually bisexual. Most are just out to be cool and individual and make boys like them.

Maybe I'm just bitter about 'bisexual' girls suddenly turning out to be straight if I like them!!:mad:

I think all women have a slight bit of bi in them. I mean, Im straight but that doesnt mean I havent thought about doing emma watson or megan fox and the like... That'd be awesome:pac:

Well in adult films with 3 people doing what they do, you always see the girls make out while the guys stand around trying to act cool.
You never see the guys make out while the girl(s) stand around acting cool...
Unless of course the film is directed towards a certain group of people...

And generally girls tend to feel more comfortable around other naked girls such as in changing rooms than men do around other naked men.

Most guys couldn't even imagine making out with another guy while women seem to quite readily be up to for sticking their tongue down another girl's throat...

Like if you enjoy making out with people of the same sex as you then how does that not make you bi?!!!?!

Really? I have always found the guys I suspect of having some hidden gay tendencies tend to be the ones who are uncomfortable in dressing rooms. Among people I know that is. I'm not the slightest bit uncomfortable myself, it's the human body and it's a beautiful thing....in most cases. I don't see it as something to be uncomfortable about, and as I said, it's the guys who are a little in the closet who I have noticed are most uncomfortable.


That said, I could be just seeing evidence for my own preconceptions, though I tend to not do that.

IMO it's going to increase over time as we are bombarded constantly with a sexualised image of women, then of course more women would find them attractive.


As for the girls 'kissing' in a niteclub or whatever........ attention whores. There is a certain mindset who thinks that's what guys want, and maybe some guys do. Meh. It seems to be driven by a need to conform to an expectation. One that is fuelled by a lot of things, from porn down to music videos. It's "cool" to kiss a girl, generally they aren't the smartest and nicest people on the go.

Yeah, but do you know or have you ever seen two guys who would kiss each other just to get attention from a girl?

Ya, and the women. Lets just say you wouldn't pick them out of a crowd and the lads involved regularly do better. I just went back to the bar and left them at it.

You've answered your own question there as both sets of films are aimed at straight men so they would be more inclined to want to see the 2 girls kissing rather than the 2 men

I'm pretty sure that if men thought it would work we would be all over each other.

After all we do have that old film cliche of the straight guy pretending to be gay so that the girl will let her guard down and he can take advantage. Same thing, it just takes longer so not as good in a pub.

Well I've read a couple of proper studies where they found that arousal differed a little between men and women, gay or straight. Straight men got phyiscally turned on by sexual representations of women or straight sex. Gay guys were turned on by men or gay sex. Both reported their arousal on questionnaires and the results matched the physical results.

Women were more complex. While they reacted most strongly to stimuli that went along with their sexual preference, they also reacted to any sex act(even monkeys going at it apparently). Sex itself aroused them. Interestingly their questionnaires differed. The straight ones said they were turned on by the straight stuff and the gay ones turned on by the gay stuff. Many were surprised they were physically aroused by stuff they consciously weren't.

Bug pity about those studies is they didnt research men and women who self reported as BI.

I'd reckon that gay-straight is on a curve. Some are very one way or the other and some more in the middle. I would say though that women are slightly more in the middle. I've known far more women who had a lesbian "phase"(to coin a phrase) in their late teens and had girlfriends in the past(two of my exes were like that), than men who have. I've also known way more who thought of themselves as straight and were, got hitched, had kids with guys and then in their late 30's/40's or 50's ended up in long term happy lesbian relationships(though still dont quite self report as "lesbian"). I've known men who did similar but all of them said they were living a lie as a straight guy.

Human sexuality is a very complex thing at the best of times.

In general I'd probably say yes, they are, down to a couple of factors. One is the aesthetically pleasing form of a naked woman, the other is that yes, no matter what people say, it does tend to be more socially acceptable for a woman to find another woman attractive, as opposed to a man finding another man attractive.

Women are more likely I think to explore other facets of their sexuality than men are. I know I was when I was younger; and I still find a naked woman more attractive than a naked man in probably nine out of ten cases.

It's a shame really that some people feel stifled by their environment or the expectations placed on them and as a result in some cases feel the need to repress certain issues.

Yes.

I also think girls really like kissing... In my experience we find it a bit more sexually arousing then men find it and so having a sneaky kiss with a girl in a club could be less attention seeking and more instant-rush-getting than some of you are saying.

Though if I was a woman I'd be having girls on me like a horse's feed-bag :pac:

Once again you jump into a thread without actually anything to add apart from an attempt to be smart... once again you failed. I am wise to your ways young master Nodin, perhaps you should stick to your own areas of expertise.

Interesting that you would quote me though, and not the post a few ahead of mine that referred to essentially the same point (the role of women in advertising).

Them bisexuals, they're just over competitive folk. They have to compete with everybody, they're analogous to that jerk that can't just be better at sports than you but also has to get better grades. He goes on to be the quantum physicist that plays for [your favourite football club here]. You sit around all day eating baked beans, taking pay-cuts and complaining about companies you regularly buy from. No justice in the world I tell you.

Oh I reckon there's a lot of cultural stuff going on. Obvious even cliched example, some ancient Greek states. Where men on men action and older man younger man stuff went on. They had quite strict rules around it though. Gay paradise for a modern gay fella it was not. The men married late for the time(30) so in their late teens and 20's it was either hookers or other men for the most part. Women were in general seen and not heard, especially high born women. Men continuing with other men after marriage was frowned upon. I wonder if you ran the experiment I mentioned above would you get a different result? I'd still suspect women would be more turned on by overall, rather than specific sexual imagry and stimuli.

The bi thang always interested me. I mean I can put myself in a gay lads or lasses head. In the sense that I was born attracted to women, so if in the morning I woke up a woman and that part didnt change, there's no way I'm gonna be able to pass myself off as a straight woman. I just wouldnt be attracted to guys. Ditto if I woke up tomorrow as a gay guy and had that same attraction aimed at men, I could well imagine not being able to pass as straight. Major "ugh" time. The bi thing throws me though in that they can be physically attracted to both. I can understand an emotional attraction alright. I mean we're all emotionally attracted to and compatible with same sex mates, but there's a huge disconnect between that and finding them physically attractive. Another angle; there have been women I've known who emotionally I'm not attracted to at all, even actively dislike them as people, but I'd be and have been all over them like a cheap suit. Basically my willy is not particularly connected to my heart or mind. It can be, but that's a bonus rather than a given.

Actually maybe that's part of the Bi women thing of the topic? While women are just as aroused and horny as men, they tend to also have that thing where someone they initially dont get the horn for grows as they become more emotionally attracted. So if that happens to be another woman...
