I’m trying to prove to my father that you can like both genders

Im bisexual and proud

You could ask my ex boyfriend, or my ex girlfriend… But I’d say Pan?

Still, bisexuality very much exists and I’m sick and tired of the bullshit we get from both gay and straight people about how it’s either “just curiosity” or “you’re just not fully out of the closet yet”

I might be pan myself, but I completely believe someone can be sexually attracted to more than one gender. Like, duh.

"It’s not uncommon for people to come out as gay after being in heterosexual relationships. But when the gay/straight binary is so enforced, these storylines become a media trope that disregards bisexuality. Because Drew is now partnered with a man, he must be gay–no one mentions the idea that Drew could be bisexual. When closeted people only have the option of coming out as gay, as opposed to bi or queer, we perpetuate two harmful tropes: that there are only two sexual orientations, and that the gender of your partner determines your sexual identity."

"If we were to acknowledge that sexuality is personal and unique, then it would become unwieldy. Making sexiness into something simple, quantifiable makes it easier to explain to the market. If you remove the human factor from sex and make it about stuff— big boobs, bleached blonde hair, long nails, poles, thongs— then you can sell it. Suddenly sex requires shopping; you need plastic surgery, peroxide, a manicure, a mall. What is really out of commercial control is that you still can’t bottle attraction."

"We hear all the time that “men are visual creatures” and “women are emotional” and “women are attracted to personalities” and “it’s science” and blah blah blah, but I feel comfortable in saying that this is just essentialist garbage that obscures the fact that almost all human beings (who aren’t blind, that is) are visual creatures, regardless of our gender or our sexuality. Most of us like to look at people we find sexually appealing! It’s how we roll, and as long as we don’t treat each other badly because of it, there’s nothing wrong with that. What I do have a problem with is this belief that there is no such thing as the female gaze. It contributes to that god-awful “men are from Mars, women are from Venus” nonsense that acts like men and women are two alien species with virtually nothing in common, when the reality is that men and women have way more in common than not. Many women like to look at sexy people, and many men like their partners to be decent, interesting people. It’s not either/or, yet we keep acting like it is.

Mind you, this is not an argument for creating a culture in which everyone is objectified, which is how I feel things are going. I die a little inside when I hear about rising rates of guys with eating disorders or getting more plastic surgery or taking steroids in their pursuit of bigorexic ideals. Rather, what I want is a culture that accepts that people find a wider variety of bodies to be attractive and sexually appealing than just the ones that belong to a very tiny subset of young sylphlike women. I would also like to live in a culture that does not equate sexuality with dehumanization and objectification, but instead regards it as a very life-affirming aspect of being human, but I suppose that is a lot to ask for a culture that still has aneurysms whenever a woman dares breast-feed in public."

Them:	I don't think kids should be exposed to gay relationships.
You:	Why not?
Them:	It's introducing children to sexuality! They're too young for that!
You:	So when a prince and princess kiss in a Disney movie, are they introduced to sexuality? When the prince and the princess get married and have a child, is that introducing your child to sexuality?
Them:	NO! But if they see a man and a man, or a woman and a woman together... they're going to start asking questions! Like how a man and a man can... you know, do anything together.
You:	You think the only thing people think when they see a gay couple is "I wonder how they have sex"? Furthermore, you think a CHILD is going to even know what that means? When the prince and the princess kiss, does your 4 year old daughter ask, "mommy, how do people have intercourse"? No. She just sees two people in love. If you remember when you were a kid, you probably didn't think about sex every time you saw two people happy together.
Them:	But it'll bring up all kinds of questions, it'll confuse my child!
You:	Then be a fucking parent and explain it to your child. The only question that might be brought up is "mom, why don't you want gay people to be happy?". And when you don't have a good answer for that question, you can look your child in the eye and say "It's because I'm a bigot".

Yesterday I learned that a friend of mine has started dating a guy with blonde hair.  Which really doesn’t make any sense to me, because her last boyfriend had brown hair.  When I asked her why she doesn’t find any brunette guys attractive anymore, she told me she thinks either hair color can look good if it’s on the right person.  What the fuck?  I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m totally cool with people being attracted to whichever hair color they want, but pick a side, you know?  I think she’s probably just doing this for the attention, or maybe she’s going through a transitional period where she figures out what she really wants.  But either way, it’s creeping me out.  I wonder if she’s gonna try to have a three-way with a blonde and a brunette or something.  I don’t know.  She’s never struck me as promiscuous before, but I guess I didn’t know her as well as I thought I did.

Perfect analogy is perfect.

"[I]magine what would happen if, instead of centering our beliefs about heterosexual sex around the idea that the man “penetrates” the woman, we were to say that the woman’s vagina “consumes” the man’s penis. This would create a very different set of connotations, as the woman would become the active initiator and the man would be the passive and receptive party. One can easily see how this could lead to men and masculinity being seen as dependent on, and existing for the benefit of, femaleness and femininity. Similarly, if we thought about the feminine traits of being verbally effusive and emotive not as signs of insecurity or dependence, but as bold acts of self-expression, then the masculine ideal of the “strong and silent” type might suddenly seem timid and insecure by comparison."

Long before I realized I was a sadist I always had a thing for aftercare. Growing up, alot of my sexual fantasies involved comforting sad or injured boys. Sitting on laps. Cradling heads. Petting their hair. Holding them while they cry. All of this was a huge turn on for me. It seems to have grown and evolved over the years into what I want now. And maybe this strange attraction to vulnerability was the starting point.

This is you, bb! :3 And unf, vulnerability -is- super hot.
