No, bisexual is an orientation separate from others. if we are all bisexual there is only one orientation, that is bisexual. If you are bi you aren't straight or gay. Choosing monogamy with one sex doesn't alter the bisexual orientation.
It's the only Rational Position. Both Theists and Atheists are morons, claiming to know what cannot be proven.TiredOfLife "the Agnostics" ?
is that a bi kinda thing?
It's a bit like pigs flying - it's possible but the landing hurts like hell. Read up on human sexuality. You are of good will but still in the dark. For most people, they can't imagine crawling into the sack with any sex other than they one they do currently.Well, as of right now, I have no intention of trying. I believe it is possible.
Do you believe you can choose to be attracted to a woman you find incredibly unattractive?
That's fine, but you can choose who you bed down with, and people do often enough to make it a 'choice" for some.No. One does not choose who (or what) one is attracted to. The choice comes in whether or not you act upon your attractions.

An alternating orientation isn't bisexual, bisexual is a rather static orientation. my sexual attraction or orientation never altered and it never will. I am certainly not bisexual.
True. I was attracted to my wife, and I choose to act. 30 years later, we still act in that. Met with a friend two weeks ago, and he and his same sex partner have been doing he same for 22 years. They work jobs, raised kids, pay taxes, go to church, volunteer, cook meals, clean house, help neighbors, and share life in every way me and my wife do. Can't thing of one reason they shouldn't have acted as we did. To me that's the key. There has to be a very strong reason not to act when you live some one.
Works for me.That is pretty much what I said. You choose your partners, not your sexuality
Guilt, perhaps. Society has its taboos, and it's hard to overestimate their impact on people, especially as they are growing up.
"claiming to know what cannot be proven"
I think there is a name for that...
Really? Did you miss Leviticus? How about that little-known fellow named Paul? I know the Bible friend, that's why I rejected Christianity. Still, it says what it says even if its meaning and context tends to get lost in translation at times.
Sure they have an effect. But we're speaking of reason here.
Clearly if 2 to 3% of the population is oriented in a certain direction then the other 97 to 98% of the population must bend over backwards to accommodate them !
Well we could just shoot criminals, most people aren't, but we found it a bad way of dealing with society. You could call it bending over backwards but I prefer to call it rational protection of the minority from the majority. Let me know when you'd prefer to toss that out but I know in which group you'll be found when you do.Clearly if 2 to 3% of the population is oriented in a certain direction then the other 97 to 98% of the population must bend over backwards to accommodate them !

and we all know that Christianity is the final arbiter on this issue
But caring gives their life meaning. They have more fun when others don't. That's actually true BTW. The studies have shown that if I offer you $100 you'll turn it down if the other guy gets $500. But if you have $100 more than he does, you are happy as a clam.You don't have to bend over backwards. Just get out of it. You are bending over backwards to involve yourself in it. Just don't care, that is easy.
I disagree (for the moment.) What do you say to this hypothetical: A man lives to be 80. In his first 20 years, he dated women, sexed them up, lusted after them etc etc. Everyone who knew him, identified him as heterosexual. They called it as they saw it. He would agree he was living a hetero lifestyle. From age 20-40 (the ages don't matter), for whatever reason, he discovered men. He dated, flirted, sexed them up, etc etc. Everyone who knew him only during that time, identified him as homo. his earlier friends ID'd him as bisexual. He identified himself as... you fill n the blank. From 40-60, he met a wonderful woman, got married, raised a family, settled down monogamously. At age 60, wifey died and he began to seek out younger men til he died.
Is this possible? How do you identify him? Keep in mind, the age interval's dont matter, keep in mind the amount of "switches" could have been greater or fewer.
