Bisexuality is Completely Natural.

It is completely natural. You don’t have to feel shamed or uncomfortable about it, and don’t let anyone else make you uncomfortable about it. You have the right to feel how you feel. When I was younger I identified as straight, but as I got older I realized that I was attracted to women. And a couple years after that, I realized that women were all I could think about.. hence, I now identify as lesbian (as I have no attraction toward, or ever see myself being with a man in the future).

It’s healthy to explore your sexuality. It is in exploring yourself, needs, wants, and desires that you can really understand who you are. I have felt liberated in finally understanding my nature and my sexuality. Liberate yourself too! And stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. Be comfortable with yourself, and if others aren’t comfortable with your sexuality, they don’t have to be. You don’t need anyone else’ approval. Just Be You!

Dating Bisexuals

Many bisexuals feel discrimination in the gay and straight community. When you are bisexual, the straight community might perceive you as gay, and the gay community may perceive you as straight. Many gays and straights alike are a little weary about dating bisexuals.

As a lesbian, I prefer not to date bisexuals. Give me a moment to explain my reasons why. First of all, let it be known that I’m a people person. I generally get along with everyone I meet, and I don’t discriminate against anyone based on race, sexuality, etc. There is nothing wrong with bisexuals, they are people just like anyone else! It doesn’t necessarily mean they are sleezy, sleep around a lot, or are cheaters. I don’t question the competence of a bisexual person, nor do I feel they aren’t perfectly capable of maintaining a committed, loving relationship.

1. Lesbian women and straight men have brain asymmetry which differs from straight/bisexual women and bisexual men. That being said, there is an unspoken connection there that I feel toward lesbian women.

2. One of the reasons I am weary of dating bisexual women is because I might spend most of the relationship questioning whether I am some sort of experiment, and whether it is the real thing. I feel comfortable knowing that someone is falling in love with me because they sincerely feel love for me, not because I am someone’s tester. Feeling comfortable and feeling secure are two different things, so don’t get it twisted. I have a healthy self-esteem, and that’s what I bring to the table in a relationship.

3. Bisexual, bi-curious, or posing? Sure. We all ask these questions. How do I know if you are really bisexual? I am not saying that actual bisexuals don’t exist, I am simply saying that there is no surefire way to know whether a woman is actually bisexual, bi-curious, or just posing. It’s fantastic that people are willing to explore their sexuality, be open-minded, and try out new things. I commend you! And yes, there are bisexuals who are completely sure of themselves. There is no need to pick one side, and just because a person is bisexual, it does not necessarily mean they are confused about who they are. As a lesbian, I completely understand this concept. However, sexuality is a very personal thing, and I prefer to date someone that I relate with on a personal level.

4. I want to be with someone who understands what it feels like to be a full-fledged lesbian living in a heterosexual society. I am not saying that bisexuals don’t receive a lot of discrimination, because they do as I discussed in the first paragraph. I want to be with a woman who knows what it feels like to be on my side. A woman who knows what it feels like to has to hide who she is just for the sake of avoiding discrimination. A woman who feels on the deepest level what it means to be a Lesbian living in a Heterosexual Society.


And to those who are living out and proud, you are a beacon for others to find their way home.
