Should I keep quiet about bisexuality?

    I'm a bisexual man but never had any experiences. From talking to some bi-friends of mine I went to school with and reading posts online, it seems that telling some straight women that you're bi is the equivalent of telling them you're a pedo...Many seem disgusted by it.

    I understand people have a right to preferences but given how stigmatized bisexuality is among men, is it better for me just never to tell a potential future partner?

    Most Bisexuals will not judge you or interfere with your preferences.

    The biggest issue you will find is finding partners who will be expecting monogamy, very difficult.

    Don't surround yourself with people who won't or don't understand you, they will end up hurting your feelings in the long term. Alot of straight people or in fact gay people can not comprehend bisexual people, they often think you need to be one or the other.

    Finally Op, if this is another mediocre attempt by you to have giggle at posters expense I will report this thread straight away. Already in your post you have mentioned being labelled as "pedo", this forum will not like such insinuations, please do not go there. In fact if you do I will report you and look to get you thread banned.

    Please do. Between the rain and the humidity I really can't take your posts today

    Do you expect us to believe trolling like this?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
