Also no because sexuality shouldn't infringe on how 'good' you see a relationship to be or even impact on how faithful you perceive a person to be either
Shhh, that's a perfectly valid concern! Instead of the 3,5 billion people most people are potentially attracted to, you are potentially attracted to 7 billion people. You _must_ be more tempted to cheat, numbers don't lie! *Sarcasm off * How did people even come up with that?!
My mom: "You'll turn out straight eventually. I used to experiment with girls too! And then I just decided to be straight." Me: "I decided not to decide."
“Bi women are really straight/Bi men are really gay.” Weird how the common factor in that implying bi people can’t be with women. I could hear that out of most homophobic straight guys’ mouthes, and it screams jealousy. 😏
@@ellouisebadger849 right and men are great and everything, but then, so are women and nonbinary people... like they need to give us more credit here lol
@@Liloldliz And here it took me ages to figure out the obvious because I was like: "Well, surely EVERYONE thinks most women are pretty, right? That's just an objective fact."
Yeah like most people said they are straight while never even kissing or even had sex( how are most kids straight if they don't know what gender, and sex or having sexual intercourse is), then there's gay people who hid and lied about their sexuality, is now questioning us because straight never questioned their sexuality or had the ability to do so because they were either told by their parents or by society to like the opposite gender and gay people are saying that we are lying about ours because they feared for their safety seems very hypocritical and seem so possessive like why do even care
“today we are getting very bisexual” biness bisexualness bicycles bisexuwhale edit: lol didn’t expect so many likes and comments! thank y’all and thanks for the comments liking my pfp lol! 💗💜💙
my cat is actually bi! I saw him trying to mate with both a guy cat(Melon) and a girl cat(Fluff) He got as far as to bite their neck, and then both cats ran away Melon even punched him lol
@@starhill6792 Hi just wanted to point out that my cat is also gay, and it's very funny because he always brings his cat boyfriends or crushes in our garden as if he wanted us to meet them it's so adorable
Well dogs are pretty much all gay as their personalities are so masculine regardless of biological sex. Domestic cats have become pretty similar to dogs in personality from constant interactions. Thus, I kind of think dogs and cats don't really have deep issues with sexuality as I presume "romance" with both of their biological sexes feels the same. So I think dogs and cats are probably mostly faucultive bi. Well humans would be like that if we had such similar personalities across biological sex, considering we can often get aroused by someone we meet just through text, without even seeing their body.
Domesticated cats are "naturally" bi in that they'll have sex with the same sex during "heat" - in a similar way certain toads change gender, or can self-impregnate
Being bisexual is like being so in love with a girl and thinking there will never be a man who will ever make you feel anywhere near as good and getting your heart broken then meeting that guy and falling in love with him instead.
@@jozefienvoets2744 I'm asexual and agender, but all the attractions I do have are bi (I recently realized) so same boat, different model. Technically all mine would be straight if I wasn't married because they have a gender and I don't, unless it's another agender person.
Since this just got a like and I therefore remember it a little update. I may not be agender. I felt little to no connection to my body for quite a long time and no awareness of having a gender but two months ago I was still a heavily repressed and dysphoric egg. Whether I'm a non-binary trans femme or a trans woman gender wise is a bit up in the air at the moment. Definitely get gender euphoria from femme things at times and glimmers of feeling femme but I could just be a bit fluid. I'm adopting a wait and see attitude for the moment.
@@erink476 not sure. it might be? Thankfully I am quite confident in the arena of my sexual identity, so I told her off. Hopefully that helps the next person. But I can't stop imagining what that would do to someone with internalised biphobia or someone questioning...
Sure I guess you gotta decide if you're dating someone wether you wanna be in a relationship with them but there's no connection with being bi so idk what your therapist was going for
"You're not bisexual if you haven't dated a..." makes zero sense. Is everyone who is yet to go on a first date Asexual? If you enjoy dating people of one gender but date someone of another gender out of curiosity but decide its not for you are you now bi anyway because you dated both genders? Besides, if you have to date someone of a gender to know you're sexually attracted to that gender then surely that implies that everyone who claims to be straight but has only ever dated one gender of person can't really know.
EX👏ACT👏LY👏 It makes me upset seeing baby bi+ ppl feel like they can’t state their sexuality with certainty because the rules put on us are different than the rules put on straights. Straight ppl are assumed straight out of the womb and don’t have to do anything or prove it to anyone, why should we?
@@mallory1304 Not just baby bi+ people! (Bi+ sounds pretty cool!) I'm Gen-X & I've known I was bi since the Dark Ages, like about 1992, but I don't always feel like I "count" as bi cos I've never had a proper girlfriend & I probably won't, so I don't get prejudice- even tho if someone else said that, I'd tell them it was silly, & if they know they're bi, they're bi, end of. We end up putting those stupid rules on ourselves sometimes, & it sux.
Absolutely no offense, you spoke absolute facts! but Asexuals actually can have romantic relationships, they just don’t want sexual ones. Those who don’t want romantic relationships would be Aromantic : D
Exactly! Whenever anyone asks how I know I’m bi if I haven’t dated anyone I always ask how u knew u were straight before dating gets them every time lol
As a pansexual. It's easy. Bi people are not attracted to everyone. They are attracted to more than 1 gender. Pansexuals do not care about gender and dont have any preferences. Omni people also love all genders but they have preferences.
"no,you're pan!" I have actually got told this before when I say I would date a trans or nb person without any issue at all. And I don't like it bc I don't have a problem with the label pansexual I just prefer bisexual,it feels more like... Well,me.
Same. I use bi because that's the term I knew growing up. It's just more familiar to me. Every definition I hear sounds like bi is the umbrella term and things like pan and omni are just specific types of bi... or at least that's what it seems like to me anyway
Same! The NB/trans inclusion makes me feel I could be bi, poly, pan, or omni. I'm not genderblind, so I consider myself bi or omni. I use bi the most because I don't feel like explaining omnisexual constantly, but I think it boils down to which flag/label you like the most lol
What really left a small scar on my sexuality was when I was reading a story about how this Gay man came out and realized he is gay. In the end, he said, that he doesn't think Bisexuality exists, because ''It's a phase before you realize your true sexuality''. That was like so disgusting from a fellow LGBT member...
There's enough stock images of these 3 people I've seen several narratives created. I guarantee they were just doing a photoshoot and did every combination they could think of for each scenario
Iehw I can't even imagine being attracted to my friends. Yes I love them to death but not in that way. But that is just weird. Why would bisexuals be attracted to their friends and gay and straight people not? That doesn't make any sense.
Me: *most likely going to marry my boyfriend* Also me: *having more girl crushes than guy crushes in my life* Random person on the street: you are straight cause you have a boyfriend
ok so the way I remember how the flag goes is picture it as a lake, you have a lake (blue), mountains (purple), and the setting sun in the sky (pink). It's probably over the top but it's just how I remember
Think about whether you wanna touch her, if the answer is yes, then you like her, if the answer is no, you want to be her. Now you tell me this, am I pretentious with guys when my heart isn't reacting to no one, or is my heart just on a strike? (i'm demi)
"the only person who has something to say with your sexuality is beautiful you". This sentence implies the existence of a really handsome clone of me who can decide my sexual attraction, and I am scared.
I remember this one video Tom Scott did where his viewers voted on what the best thing was and Bisexuality scored REALLY fucking high on the list (way above Heterosexuality) and that made me so happy.
I’m Pan and I’m in a “straight” relationship with my boyfriend... and my other guy friend was so confused by that and keeps asking me “so your straight but also gay...” oop
I'm bisexual and married to a "straight" man (who actually has more experience with his own gender than I do) and... someone in the Bi community said that relationships like ours are "mixed orientation," NOT straight. I can dig that ✌
I thought I was pan for a long time, and kept keeping the doubts of my sexuality down because I felt bad for saying things like, "I prefer girls more", but now I know I'm bi, and I'm glad that I'm finally happy with my sexuality.
I knew my mom finally “got it” when she asked whether I liked Peeta or Gale better, then paused, and said “well you might like Katniss best.” ❤️💙💜. Also I have a button that says “Bi, Poly, and still not onto YOU” which I’m too afraid to wear. 😂
Omfg, in the battle of Edward vs Jacob my sister told me to pick a side and I said Bella. My sister yelled at me and told me I couldn't pick Bella, because she wasn't a side. I just told her I wanted Bella to be happy, and my mom told my sister to stop it and I could pick Bella. Bella was the only character I had a shirt of. Best part is I don't even like twilight, I just watched it because it was funny to me.
Anime has an art style literally trying to make everyone look attractive. I don’t understand how straight or gay people watch anime and are just like, yeah I don’t think half of these people are attractive. I respect it and know it’s true but like, you’re telling me you don’t want to kidnap all of them???
I once dreamt my ex bf as a woman and he/she was hot. Afterwards I asked him if he would still like me, not necessarily being with me, if I was exactly the same in personality but as a guy and he said "absolutely not". That was a shock for me in the moment because it was the first time I realized that not everyone finds all genders attractive and that maybe I wasn't straight after all. Up until then I assumed straight girls see other people like I do, especially with people making jokes like "I would go gay for..." or "I'm not gay but I would totally do this with...", so it took me a while to say confidently that I'm bisexual and not straight. People are saying bisexuals are confusing when straight people make this kind of jokes?
@@vuivraalbastra Eh, I think a lot of people who make those jokes probably aren’t as straight as they think they are. Compulsory heterosexuality and all. (But of course it’s nobody’s place to tell somebody else how to identify!)
Where I live, we often have jam made from blueberries and raspberries, called queen's jam. It's way better than either blueberry or raspberry jam. Seeing that wildberry sorbet candle made me realize that queen's jam is bisexual culture at its finest.
Bisexual energy is simping for cartoon characters in every single game/show where there's hot anime boys and girls Edit: I am pan but I can still relate to this on every level Have yall seen the stardew Valley mod that turns them all into hot anime people? That slapppsss
I feel called out. I’m currently simping for a good chunk of Crash Bandicoot characters because everybody looks gorgeous in the new game. Simping for every genderbend in existence is also bi energy.
As a pansexual, I apologize to all the bisexuals who were told "No, you're pansextual!" That's got to be so frustrating and it makes me sad that we can't always get along because someone feels the need to step on someone else's identity (for what reason WTF knows). Just go with your gut and go by (bi hehe) what makes you comfortable and who you see yourself as. The attempt of erasure of either is absolutely silly and it helps nobody at all. Just be you and support each other with positivity and validation.
This was the last video I watched yesterday before finally taking the leap and coming out as bisexual to my family, friends, and coworkers. Thank you for being one of the final nudges I needed to love myself and feel valid. It was 30 years in the making. (Also, because I know you like knowing the ending- I was accepted with nothing but love and varying degrees of indifference!)
I'm not bi but I love being one of Jamie's spuds, and my partner has an antidote to "you have to choose": she's polyamorous and has one partner from each end of the gender spectrum.
So a lot of people are telling me that everyone just says they're bi in middle school to be cool or smth after I come out to them, When really I've known I was a bisexual since I was a 3 year old and have had crushes on both boys and girls my entire life-
sometimes I feel like I'm faking being bisexual and I should just pick a side but then I watch a movie or a TV show and I see everyone in it and then I'm like oh my God everyone is so beautiful and I want to give everyone hugs and bake them all cookies and then I realize that I'm actually bisexual
That's SO a thing, isn't it! I think "oh, I'm mostly straight", then I watch something & I'm like, "I'm swooning over an awful lot of girls for a straight girl..." :D
@@beth7935 anyway, the idea that sex is somehow not wholesome is a misguided idea imo. ofc, it can take place in ways that harm people, but as long as it is consensual and safe? what is supposed to make it dirty, ynkow
Where my multisexual fam at My Bi brethren 💖💜💙 My Pan peeps 💖💛💙 My Poly peeps💖💚💙 And my Omni allies💖🖤💜💙 (They don't have the correct colors for Omni I tried my best)
👡👒🕶👖👗 My representation of omni flag I feel like most ppl don't know about omni It's okay if you don't know Just be supportive and not ignorant I'm omni btw
Also, when my bf asked me how would I know Im bi when I haven't been with a woman... my answer was, well, how did you know you were straight when you were younger and had never been with a woman?
The bi-erasure thing is why I love legends of tomorrow so much, they have so many bi characters and at least one of them actually says she's bi a few times.
"The four horsemen of the Bisexual Apicalypse:" Me, who uses all of those hand gestures: oh... I see. For context, I am at a very sexually confusing time in my life.
it's kind of crazy for me to think how when i was younger i had a lot of internalized biphobia saying stupid shit like "i wouldn't date a bisexual person" and i'm bi... i really want to slap my younger self lol
my younger self was the sane way and wen i realized how bi i am my brain was like "well shit-" srrsky tho i think my brain just wanted to see how long i could go without realizing 😂
As a bisexual I can confirm that I am still baffled by the fake pocket concept. Why make a pocket that's only there for show?! What joy does it bring you?
Today on the bus I saw a cute tall girl and I was like omg she's so pretty, then looked behind her and saw a cute tall boy and I was like omg he's so pretty. I then kinda just quietly said to myself: ...yes...I'm still bi
Bi erasure in media is so real and is a huge part of the reason it took me so long to embrace my sexuality and come out, as well as the erasure that comes from being in a long term cis-het appearing relationship.
"So how did you find out you were Bi?" Me: [remembers the time i changed positions on a chair for 3 hours nonstop]. . . Zuko from avatar. . . Edit: also Ty lee in the amber island episode
'no, you're pan.' this. happens? as someone who's omni, I've always seen everything called bi (like the bi umbrella), never seen someone calling someone who's bi actually pan
in my experience this happens when bisexuals explain that they’re also attracted to non-binary ppl because for some reason a lot of ppl are still living in the dark ages and think bisexuals can only be attracted to cis men and cis women :/
I realized a couple of weeks ago that the new hat my mother made, yeah they're the colors of the bisexual flag. Not intended, but very happy with the end result 💖💜💙
me sitting and watching this with a bob haircut, beanie, turtleneck t-shirt combo, eyeliner, cuffed pants, and an iced coffee despite the winter weather : oh, you called?
Is "turtleneck tshirt combo" wearing a tshirt over some kind of long-sleeved top? Cos a truly frightening number of these stereotypes fit, & that's my goddamn UNIFORM... but really, I just haven't acknowledged that the 90s ended :D
Recently let myself accept that I’m bisexual. Very late to the game, in a hetero presenting relationship, but it doesn’t matter cause I’m proud to finally own who I am. Thank you for videos like these that helped my questioning self feel a bit more at home with my bisexuality. 💖💜💙
I always start sitting in a chair properly but end up either sitting on the edge (which works great for my cat as he can sit behind me) or slumped down so far that getting up can sometimes be problematic LOL!
7:35 reminded me of how disappointed I was when I was watching Alex Strangelove and he realized he was bisexual only to come out as gay by the end of the movie. Like... they were almost there... it hurt me as a bi girl because I thought that was going to be the first time I saw a bi character represented as a normal person and not a sexual object in a movie.
