"All women are bisexual"

Why do many men believe this? Because even on the internet I've seen articles which prove that we are all bisexual or lesbian but never straight. If sexuality was a choice then I dont think many of us would be picking men lol

All women find other people attractive as do men

Noone benefits from a label and who cares

Randomusername65 · 16/02/2023 23:49

Exactly😂 I'm gay(female)I've known this since I was about aged 8/9. Definitely not bi lol and I guess it's the same for straight women, they probably knew they liked boys in primary school. It's probably just a fantasy or something.

TinpotNostradamus · 16/02/2023 23:51

Agree OP. If it were a choice I certainly wouldn't be married to a man.

@TinpotNostradamus Exactly! Although im married to a wonderfull man but before him when I was single I wished that I was lesbian/bi because some men can be 🤢

But the female body just doesnt arouse me and I've never had sexual fantasies about women

Not sure from a psychological perspective

Ponderingwindow · 16/02/2023 23:55

Those men would be wrong.

@maddy68 but then if labels dont matter then why do we still have LGBT+ parades? Or male/female toilets?

I guess if you are the kind of man who can only see women in terms of whether you want to have sex with them or not, it must be hard to understand that other people can see women as human people, and not just walking talking sex toys

@Ponderingwindow I think we should start saying "all men are bisexual" as well because according to my gay friend there is quiet a lot of "straight" blokes who are married on grindr. Maybe women are more likely to openly identify as bisexual but I think men are more likely to act on it.

Never heard of this study but have always agreed with the saying that straight women are proof sexuality is not a choice 😅

I don’t think sexuality is as ‘clear-cut’ for a lot of people as a simple gay/bi/straight label, probably a sliding scale, but of course that means straight women exist.

Ate you trying to pretend sexuality doesn't exist again?

Other people, yes, but not necessarily other women.

I'm bisexual. I think it's really weird that anyone would tell other people what their sexuality is.

Telling someone they aren't really straight is as offensive as telling someone they aren't really gay.

MaryJean87 · 17/02/2023 06:59

I kind of get it. I say I'm straight as I've always fancied men and most of my sexual experiences are with men, but years ago I met this woman and I was wild about her. She was all I could think about and it really took me by surprise. I've been with a couple of women but they were more friends experimenting. But I've never met another women and felt the same as that one. I'm not saying everyone has the same experiences as me but I definitely think sexuality can be more complex than we think.

BigButtons · 17/02/2023 07:01

I’ve never been attracted to other women.

IncompleteSenten · 17/02/2023 07:03

Porn.
It's because of porn.

Not every woman is bisexual. I'm not for a start.
Or maybe I'm the only woman in the world who isn't. 🤣

RosesAndHellebores · 17/02/2023 07:05

Women have children and bear heavier loads emotionally and physically. It renders them asexual periodically or they contract the ick.

Holland990 · 17/02/2023 07:10

I've never been sexually attracted to another women. I can appreciate pretty women & I actually think a women's body is more appealing than a man's but not in a sexual way. We are just the better looking of species lol.

RudsyFarmer · 17/02/2023 07:15

I’ve read this too and I am absolutely NOT bisexual. Cant stand my own female form and am not interested in exploring another woman’s body for all the tea in China 🤢

I wonder if it’s linked to studies where we are apparently turned on by watching any sex? Be it animal, human, gay/straight ?

boobot1 · 17/02/2023 07:21

Im not😂

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 17/02/2023 07:27

Even many decades ago a BF refused to believe that I’d never had even mild lesbian experiences. I never had, and had never been remotely tempted. IMO they like to think we’re all at it because they get off on girl/girl porn - which wasn’t nearly so easily available then.

But I’ve also read of lesbians insisting that we all have ‘tendencies’ - I suppose they like to think we suppress them. So it’s certainly not just a bloke thing.

That’s a bit like saying ‘I don’t see colour’

KangarooKenny · 17/02/2023 07:30

It’s not true because I’m not.

Sparklesockz · 17/02/2023 07:31

No way. I can find women pretty but the idea of being intimate with them ? Absolutely not ! Never crossed my mind and the idea makes me feel a bit yuck (no disrespect to lesbians who probably feel the same towards men)!

Pigeonchested · 17/02/2023 07:33

I don’t fancy women at. Never have. I like manly hard bodies 😁 women’s bodies make me feel a bit ill.

It just hasn't occurred to them yet 😂
