Here’s the deal with many bisexuals IMHO. We’re open. It’s not really an orientation. It’s letting go of orientation, of "sexual identity”. We have preferences, but we can usually roll with a lot. We’re the vanguard. Proto-sluts, if you will. (Not to say bis can’t do monogamy too if they want it. But I think they’re less likely to want it (monogamy, not LTRs). Not because they need the other gender, but maybe because they value variety more than people whose attraction is limited to one gender (?)). Single-gender oriented and monogamous humans, in 100 years (if we make it), will be the exception (I think truly monogamous ones are already, but…). Straight people will have to come out (along with strict homosexuals). We’ll accept them with love, hopefully. But they’ll be anomalies :) Betcha. This is not to put down heteros and homos. But honestly there’s a lot more crossover in people who identify as gay or straight than I think they like to let on. By the way, I never “came out”. I just mention my girlfriends when I have them, mention that I’m bi if the topic comes up, or note attractive-to-me women when they enter my field of vision (if appropriate, of course). Most people say “oh”. And that’s usually the end of it. If not, I explain a bit, or if it comes to it, get in a bigoted motherfucker’s face.
