Experience of coming out to be Bi (Lounged)

[jefferykon08]

Being bisexual myself, I felt I had to share my story with you. I have known since I was approximately 11 years old that I could be with either a man or woman through BiMingle.com . It is the individual, the soul of a person that attracts me. At the age of 14, I had my first bisexual experience. Later I married a man and had a beautiful daughter. We have since divorced and I have now been with my new partner for 5 years. She is also bisexual. Even when I was married, I had bi tendencies too, but of course didn't act on them until we had seperated. I know there are some bisexual people out there that want both simutaniously. Personally, I am a one person kind of woman! I do believe Phycologists should not treat bisexuality differently then straight or gay. I have never bought into the confusion theory either! There should be a lot more done on this subject and more information available

Would you recommend www.bimingle.com as a source for such information?

[Moos]

So much better put than mine, *Bob*.

Moved to the Lounge as it is not East Dulwich specific

Or for something slightly different www.biminge.com

I misread TOP as Binmingle, thought it was something to do with wheeling your bins around together...

I must admit that I've never personally really bought the idea of bisexuality, not because I'm homophobic or heterophobic but because I've always looked upon Bisexuals as the ultimate hedonists...they want their cake and they want to eat yours too! I always thought it was a bit greedy. I'd be interested to hear from a confirmed bisexual as to what goes on in their heads re sex and multigender partners. You're right, its not talked about enough...educate the single sex partner luddites. Great thread. ;-)

Has anyone done the "I've never paid for it in my life" 'joke' yet?

[Huguenot]

Bimingle is an interesting site for pre teens? It appears to have a higher age limit? When you say it taught you that you were bi, did you end up there by mistake? Or was that the place where you found both men and women attractive?

On a more intriguing note, can you have a first 'bisexual' moment? Or do you have to be hetero with a flash of homosexual inspiration or vice versa?

Can both thoughts occur simultaneously? Do we flip flop or are we like Homer Simpson caught between Moe's and the Donut shop, fated to remain forever in a recursive loop?

Internet when you were 11 huh? No such thing when I was young, I had to go to the railway sidings like everyone else ;)

[benjaminty]

what happened on the railway sidings? I only remebember graffiti .... damn .. what else happened there?

Would love a response to Huguenot .... when is the first "bi - moment" ... when do you get past the state of confusion?

Mockney .. I'm sure you know interweb been around for over 40 years now.. sorry .. I'm a pedant. I never had it either...

[CamberwellOz]

If you delete this silly excuse for a website promotion - I might really tell you about some bi experiences.

[mockney piers]

Indeed benjaminty. Though in the early days it wasn't really there for mindless gossip, misinformation and porn was it; I was introduced to it at a geek's trade fair in 1995 at an IBM OS/2 Warp sales pitch, hmm, that must have gone well.

I think my first use of the interweb thingy was in the library at uni in 96, looking up nude photos of geri halliwell. :-$

Great fun trying all sorts of place-rude-word-here.com >:D<

I once had two cats.

[Rico]

I don't think I'm bi - not that there is anyting wrong with it. But I'm a sucker for marketing and long story short, I visited the site, signed up and now I'm meeting some guy named Norm on LL tonight for a drink.

I also stop and sign up for every charity street worker. Please help me.

[*Bob*]

Are you tenants allowed to be bi, Rico?

[Moos]

Rico, that's very funny. Suggest you get Norm to carry your purse going forward, though.

[Rico]

Well I'll remain open minded. Maybe I'll fall in love with his 'soul'. Unless of course he lives on an Estate and smokes (oops sorry) ;-)

[*Bob*]

My ex-flatmate was bi - and I know for a fact that the carpets in our rental flat suffered as a result.

[Rico]

Keep the deposit...ahem
