Re: Do you think "everyone is bi" is to a degree true?

IDK. I understand that most people are significantly more attracted to one gender, so for practical purposes they aren't bi. But I can't comprehend people who say they could never under any circumstances be attracted to a man/woman. (Unless they're like, completely asexual.)

I think it's less that they could never ever like that gender and more that being bi is part of who you are. You fall in love, you fantasize, you have sex with.

It's the difference between getting sad sometimes, and having depression. Everyone can feel sad sometimes, or hopeless, or empty, etc. etc. but you wouldn't say "Everyone's depressed." Basically if you're not attracted to multiple genders enough to notice, then you're not bi.

Well, human sexuality is pretty crazy across all bases. Since they're are people in this world who can only get turned on by inanimate objects, then yes I can easily believe there are some people in this world who are purely heterosexual or homosexual. Though probably they are a lot less common than self reporting suggests.

But I can't comprehend people who say they could never under any circumstances be attracted to a man/woman.

The thing is, I can absolutely believe that there are people who are 100% gay/straight without exceptions. What I find suspect is people who declare this as a FACT about themselves.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with saying, "I've never been attracted to a man/woman before." There's not anything wrong with saying "I can't really imagine being attracted to a man/woman." But to say, "I could never be attracted to a man/woman" is just...that's not something anyone can 100% know for a fact, and when someone feels compelled to state it as a fact it makes it seem like they're afraid someone will think "the wrong thing" about them.

OTOH, if it's a gay person stating they could never be attracted to a person of the opposite gender, that's different, I think, than a straight person saying it. Mainly because I think if a gay person says it, they're probably saying it because they're worried that if they allow even the tiniest possibility they could ever be attracted to someone of the opposite gender, people will use that to try to invalidate their identity as a gay person. Which is an awful but understandable worry.
