discussion Does "bi-curious" make sense?

[HauntinglyHollow]

I think its about people who do not necessarily feel atracted to both genders but are not oppossed to experimenting with the gender they do not prefer. That makes sense, I know people like that. A straight girl friend of mine who is het, but was willing to try and to get her ***** eaten by another girlfriend fore example.

It’s a person experimenting. Just like when we were all growing up are where confused about our sexualities, I’m sure some people are late bloomers and have this realisation later on, hence them exploring it and coming to a conclusion.

Do you know what curious means?

 

I could be curious about trying pig's feet. It doesn't mean I like pig's feet, it means I've never experienced it and I wonder what it's like. Maybe I'll like it, maybe I won't.

 

Plenty of people experiment with gay sex and then decide it's not something they like. So they were always straight but were bi-curious and wanted to try it.

If you're willing to have sex with a guy out of enjoyment then you're not straight. All "straight" guys I've slept with turned out to be bi eventually

IMO a guy can be straight and hook up

with a guy… that doesn’t necessarily make him gay. Now if he’s on Grindr 3 days a week and hooking up multiple times a week/month that’s a bit different.

 

Sometimes guys get bored, haven’t gotten laid in a long time, have always been curious, going through personal issues… it’s not always black and white.

If you're a guy and you hook up with a guy, that makes you bisexual if you enjoy/enjoyed it. Bisexuality is real and y'all have to deal with it correctly

i do think some men might be curious and discovering their sexuality

but i do get their point, ive seen a lot of men on grindr saying theyre just "curious" when they are afraid to come out as non straight, but considering everything, i do think its understandable (up to a certain point) that not everyone wants to come out as lgbtqia+

You cant be straight and want to get with a man. Youre either bi or a gay in denial.

And who said that? 

 

Sexuality is a spectrum, there is no such thing as 'completely bi' 'completely gay' or 'completely straight', so trying to put people into a box just because they're exploring their own sexuality and are curious about it it's kinda disrespectful. Everyone comes to terms with themselves at their respective time. An example of that could be gay people who date people of the opposite sex just because they want to be sure about their sexuality, it doesn't make them less gay once they figured it out by themselves.

some of you have a weird obsession with trying to police other people's identity.

I've hooked up with guys who typically only date women and consider themselves str8. who am I to tell someone their sexuality, if someone feels like they only f*ck guys because they haven't gotten laid in a while and are h*rny that's on them to figure out how to classify their sexuality.

[Golden]

Yeah it does because since when is sexuality binary? You can be open to the idea of experimenting with the same sex despite preferring the other sex. 

[TipToe]

Maybe it's not the best term but it makes sense imo. That person could be attracted by both genres "on paper" (aka fantasying) but not totally sure and open to explore/discover (hence curious).

Curious means you've never tried it, but you've thought about and are open minded enough to try it sometime. 

this. I’ve met guys who were kind of on the fence about being sexually attracted to a male. They were open to the idea but didn’t know if they’d enjoy in in practice. Some of them experimented and liked it. Some experimented and decided that it wasn’t for them. 
 

sometimes the curious part has to do with relationship compatibility and whether or not they could be with a guy. It all depends. 

[Jagger]

I think so. I consider myself curious sometimes for women lol but I'd need to actually have sex with one to know if I was actually bi. I jerk it to the thought of women or girl porn like 15% of the time though

What do you think "curious" in bi-curious means? 

 

Some of you all are just suck at this topic and need to shut the hell up smh

[JoeAg]

yes it does

 

there’s no ONE way nor is there ONE time frame to come out or to discover oneself. as a bisexual man in my mid twenties who came out at age 13, different terms can be extremely crucial when it comes to self-identification. i know it may seem that bicurious is a misnomer or a fake out or whatever you want to call it, but it can be a stepping stone to what you might want to label yourself as in the future. at the end of the day, one of my favorite songwriters of all time was right on when she said that she hopes to someday see a day when people won’t label themselves by their sexualities. labels can be extremely helpful for those who choose to utilize them. don’t discredit!

100% this. 

 

Some men try it and are like, yup, I don't like this. 

 

Then there's some men who try it and are like, maybe I'm not as straight as I thought...

 

It's 2022. Are we still going to gatekeep sexualities? Sexuality is fluid and complex. OP, let's stop pretending people are 100% straight, 100% gay, etc. 

[Shame♥]

Yes. You know what the word curious means so stop being ignorant.
