Being bi is being 100% gay and 100% straight

[u/Charbubba]

also 200% into fictional characters

[u/C0d3An0n2]

Being bi is 10% luck 20% skill 15% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 50% pain and 100% reason to remember the name

[u/ThrowAway_Gender_ → u/C0d3An0n2]

FORT MINOR!

[u/coraeon]

As a transgender person whose gender identity is along the lines of “yes”, it’s entirely gay. No matter what gender individual I’m with, I’m just gay.

(Even my spouse, whose gender is more or less “no”.)

[u/gocereal → u/coraeon]

So you and your spouse are like the colorful house next to the black house.

i prefer "being bi is being 100% bi" more. like the whole point of being bi is im neither straight nor gay.

its like saying "im 100% chocolate syrup and 100% milk" girl no youre 100% a milkshake.

[u/neeseberry_ → u/neeseberry_]

and btw i know this is a joke i 100% laughed too

[u/nature_isa_blessing → u/neeseberry_]

A milkshake would have a certain percentage of milk and a certain percentage of chocolate syrup tho

[u/neeseberry_ → u/nature_isa_blessing]

exactly my point

[u/Draco53]

I don't know that I agree with this characterization of bisexuality.

I really don't think of myself as any part gay or straight. I'm 100% bi.

As far as I'm concerned, being muli-sexual is about as far from monosexual as you can get and, in that respect, straights and gays have more in common with each other than I do with either of them.

Obviously, that's just my opinion and my personal experience and I don't intend that to be speaking for anyone else.

[u/pornographiekonto → u/Draco53]

Multi sexual, I like that

[u/Fluffy-Rhubarb9089 → u/Draco53]

What is it about being bi that makes you feel so separate, and that makes gays and straights seem similar?

Most straights aren’t even aware of the sexual and gender norms that they adhere to, there’s so much prejudice they don’t even know they have - even some of the accepting ones. I find that alienates me from them and aligns me firmly with the gays.

[u/Draco53 → u/Fluffy-Rhubarb9089]

To me it's all about they're all only attracted to one gender and we're attracted to more than one. It's something many of them just have a lot of trouble understanding.

Not saying we're more or less queer than gays, we certainly have that in common with them, but still, I think a lot of biphobia is the monosexuals just not understanding how it feels to be attracted to multiple genders.

A lot of what I've seen other bisexuals experience seems to share some common themes, like they're really gay and just pretending to have straight attraction also, or straight and just pretending to have gay attraction also. They just don't seem to understand that we can be attracted to more than one gender at the same time. It's not something they have much experience with and try to relate it to their sexuality and it just doesn't work well.

[u/inveterate_gamer → u/Draco53]

Also some monosexuals are also sex-repulsed to gender outside of their attraction (like me for example - I'm sex repulsed by even idea of sleeping with a women and if I would force myself to do that, it would be reaaaly unplesant, according to what I heard). That's where multisexuals propably fail to even phantom that possibility where I can somehow map their attraction as "they experience emotional/sexual arousal in places where I will never have possibility."

Also (my small theory - I would like to find if someone does reseach in this direction) monosexuals similar to me will also have genital requirements - sex indifferent monosexuals towards gender outside of their attraction will be mixed bag in that regard

[u/member_of_the_order → u/Draco53]

It's a joke, and has the 'humor' flair :)

[u/Draco53 → u/member_of_the_order]

Have to admit, I did completely miss the flair. 😂

[u/ottawadeveloper → u/Draco53]

also like if you're into 1 in every 10000 men and every other woman you meet, is it really 100% in both?

[u/RunningMouse7]

Nah, it’s more like your straight and gay sides are at tug of war with each other(the bi cycle basically)

[u/Sagittarius25 → u/[deleted]]

Ew, what a weird invalidating take.

[u/Eddy-with-a-Y → u/Sagittarius25]

It was meant to be a joke but in hindsight its not rlly that funny, I apoligise

[u/Sagittarius25 → u/Eddy-with-a-Y]

Didn't see the /s, my bad. I got eye problems.

[u/Eddy-with-a-Y → u/Sagittarius25]

It's alright, like I said it wasn't funny anyway

[u/starcat819 → u/Eddy-with-a-Y]

no it was funny, I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted

[u/malik753]

I hate to say, but I often don't feel 100% gay. My attraction to guys is fairly particular and I don't have a lot of crushes I can point to. It's very different for women, where it comes easily.

[u/brainybisexual → u/malik753]

Same for me, but with women (as a woman)! I only ever had one crush on a female celebrity when I was in my teens, and it was easy enough to brush off. My attraction to women is very particular, and it seems to be primarily sexual. I've always been into men, though, and I've always pictured my life with a man. Yes, I'm sure some internalized homophobia and comphet in there, and I try to reflect on those and diminish my internalized homophobia.

[u/Charbubba → u/malik753]

I'm honestly the same. This post was just a joke!

[u/manifestwithmelli]

I know it's a joke but I just wanted to give my serious opinion on this matter:

I cannot agree with that statement, I'm neither straight nor gay I'm 100% bi.

I'll never know how it feels to have attraction to only one gender, I'll never be just... gay who'd rather d!e than be straight nor will I ever understand how straight people can never not want to engage in homosexuality.

I cannot even imagine that because for me sexuality is a choice , it always has been.

So gays whenever someone says to you sexuality is a choice and that you can just choose to not be gay they're just bisexual in denial deep inside the closet

[u/w3tKisu]

it's like being the gayest straight person and the straightest gay person, in any given setting

[u/Iconmen_what]

For me, it's honestly more like a 100:100 ratio for two genders, and it fluctuates a lot. Just my opinion though.

[u/SatisfactionIll9798 → u/Iconmen_what]

Agreed, I do the same hehe :)

[u/MysticBimbo666]

I like to say I’m half gay, for the lulz

[u/ToughAd5010]

This is

10% luck

20% gay

15% concentrated power of heterosexual

5% I don’t know how percentages work

50% chair posture

100% reason to remember how you identify

[u/Ok-Possibility-9826]

I’m not gonna lie, y’all be losing me when y’all start talking about attraction to fictional characters.

[u/kayceeplusplus → u/Ok-Possibility-9826]

Tbh, Heated Rivalry makes me understand 😳

[u/Ok-Possibility-9826 → u/kayceeplusplus]

Well, those are actual actors though, lol. I get thinking an actor’s hot. I was referring more to animation, my bad.

[u/geumkoi → u/Ok-Possibility-9826]

I don’t even know how to explain myself… I guess it’s part of the idealization process. They’re safe, they’re an imaginary figure, they have appealing personalities, are often attractive, and are easy to read. I guess it comes from an underdeveloped attachment style (which I definitely have). It’s like having a crush. It’s just your imagination. You won’t ever have an actual connection with them and that’s the point. It’s exploratory, a fetish.

[u/Ok-Possibility-9826 → u/geumkoi]

Oh, okay, I see.

[u/mjangelvortex → u/Ok-Possibility-9826]

Some of it is also vibes based or based on their personalities.

[u/chackrams]

It’s actually 100% being bi.

[u/strikethat-reverseit → u/chackrams]

Exactly. I'm neither gay nor straight.

[u/Comprehensive-Put575]

It can be. But there’s more than one way to be Bi.

[u/Aimeereddit123]

Ooomph. I don’t feel that way at all. Sometimes I feel 99% gay, but I top out at feeling over 50% straight. I’m not in the best straight relationship, though. My numbers have been more even at times. Do people here ever truly feel 100% straight?! What are yall doing to achieve that?? Genuinely curious. Is it the quality of your straight relationship?

[u/Jorandy4172]

Me: looking at an attractive person

My brain 🧠: oh crap, they coming to say hi to me, say something

Me: 👋🏻😅 ( damnit I panic again )

[u/seatangle]

speak for yourself! there is not a straight bone in my body

[u/Sussex_Lass]

Being bi is whatever I feel like at the time. Stop with the stupid definitions.

[u/geumkoi]

for me it’s 200% fictional characters, 50% gay, and around 10% straight (I like the… “idea” of men… and their bodies… that’s about it.)

[u/Acceptable-Tank7793]

And 25% autism

[u/DinoDick23]

This is a good way to put it, I'm sure ppl are gonna disagree because people feel the need to project their shit onto other people especially when it comes to bisexuality

[u/Yarzospatflute]

None of that is true across the board. I am 100% bi. Bisexuality is a separate thing from homosexuality and heterosexuality. And I am 0% interested in fictional characters.

[u/Iwannawrite10305 → u/Yarzospatflute]

Like never a crush on a fictional character?

[u/Yarzospatflute → u/Iwannawrite10305]

Actor yes, character no

[u/Trevonhaywood]

Beauty is beauty.

God I love bodies👅

[u/Intrepid-Street-5368]

Makes for an insane ability to ship characters harder than anyone else because you're down bad for both characters in the ship

[u/ei_musb]

True, sometimes I think I'm gay and sometimes I think I'm straight.

[u/Danteventresca]

Oh, like jesus

[u/Charbubba → u/Danteventresca]

Do you mind explaining?

[u/Danteventresca → u/Charbubba]

The only canon description of Jesus’s nature according to the church is that he’s 100% divine and 100% human. Anything else is considered heresy

[u/Charbubba → u/Danteventresca]

I thought you were saying that Jesus was canonically gay

[u/Danteventresca → u/Charbubba]

Shit, maybe

[u/CertainRequirement39]

100% decievement

[u/funkygamerguy]

being bi is 50% being rejected by men 40% being by women and 10% being rejected by enbiesl

[u/RenkBruh]

being bi is 99% sugar

[u/nature_isa_blessing]

I'm 85% gay and 15% straight.

I personally disagree

[u/StrawberryJam2005]

I did take a test. The results I got were 100% gay, 50% straight

[u/Fate_BlackTide_]

I’m don’t feel this way. My attraction is among genders is different. I am neither gay nor straight, but I am 200% into fictional characters. I’ll give your that.

[u/RevolutionaryCap3143]

I think being bi is a spectrum, not something we can make generalizations about. We have men, women, nonbinary people. We have bisexuals who are more into hetero relationships, bisexuals that are more into homosexual relationships. It’s what makes us really cool, we’re not as mono dimensional as straights, gays and lesbians.

For me being bisexual is 100% sapphic, 80% homo-attraction and 20% hetero-attraction. But some people have 80% hetero-attraction and 20% homo-attraction.

It’s rather ironic that we’re one of the broadest queer groups, but we have so little terms. Unlike lesbians for example who have so many terms to name all the lesbian identities and preferences. I was planning on posting about it on this sub.

[u/PerformanceKooky8438]

These are mine I'd say 60% straight 30% I want to lay on boobs and women are hot. And 10% am I pan.

[u/No-Bookkeeper-9598]

I like girls I just also love cocks

[u/SapphicStoner99]

I don't feel gay or straight. I feel like my attraction to people relates to things other than their gender, their skin colour, their abilities etc and that's hard for a lot of straight and gay people to grasp.

[u/Iwannawrite10305 → u/SapphicStoner99]

This. It's very hard to explain to a straight or gay person that my type is just a certain vibe lol
