Good question, Cabb: Sexuality is something that many highly qualified people have written about. I personally do not believe that there is a person on this planet who is either 100 per cent gay or 100 per cent straight.

I think people fall somewhere in between the two. Since about the age of 10 I have 'known' that I preferred male company to that of the opposite sex. I have always regarded myself as gay. To keep the 'straight' image that my parents and workmates expected, I married a woman, had two children to her and we were married for 10 years.

Western society has become a lot more 'gay-tolerant' in the last 20 years.

I guess the reason I like Thailand so much is the lack of 'homophobia.' Sex to Thais is a normal everyday thing - much like eating and sleeping. Thais do not make a big deal about it.

To answer your question: Open minded = broad minded or at least very tolerant. Thais do not like open displays of affection, be it between a male and a female or two males, but that is a cultural thing and I respect that.

cabb, I think everybody tries to make a 'short list' of all the possible kinds of sexuality. Two of my gay male Thai friends have told me #1 is king, #2 is queen, #3 is bisexual, and #4 is ---oh, I never remember a list of more than two things.

I think #4 and #5 in your list are the same. bi-sexual means 'both sexes' - some teenagers and young people think it's okay to experiment with both males and females before deciding which they prefer. Some Latin-American and some Thai men who are married to women also have gay #2 boyfriends on the side, and don't even consider themselves to be bisexual as long as they are on top (penetrating the queen/ladyboy). Maybe I'm wrong - maybe 'bi-curious' means a straight person who hasn't tried gay sex yet, but thinks they might want to try it. Some porn sites say bi-curious to get men who think they're just straight to look at bi porn to see if they might want to be bi. But bi porn might be two guys and one woman, or two women and one man.

I don't think open-minded is a sexual behavior, more just a state of mind, mentally tolerant, mai bpen rai, don't care what other people do.

What about tolerant? Meaning I respect what you do, and I hope you respect me :o

After edit,

Sorry I didn't answer the question, I would have thought open-minded is willing to listen, and be swayed, by a good point of view.

Enjoy

There really are very few people who are bisexual. Most people are truely oriented one way or the other. During adolescents, sexuality maybe more fluid, but by early adulthood sexuality is generally set one way or the other. There are a few psychological conditions that can make people tend to swing both ways--such as borderline personality disorder.

This is not to say that it bisexuality doesn't exist, because it does, but that said, most people who are bisexual are just closet gays, who haven't quite been able to come out of the closet.

Opened minded people may be tolerant of others, but open mindedness doesn't mean they would engage in behavior they didn't feel comfortable with. I have many very open minded friends, but they haven't/wouldn't engage in homosexual behavior.

Males in general tend to be pretty highly sexual creatures and there certainly are many examples of "opportunistic" sex, i.e., in prisons, military etc. Once the situation changes, however, they invariably revert to their normal orientation.

The important thing is to be comfortable with your own sexuality and orientation, whatever it might be (and provided it isn't harmful to others or self).

he-he-he. I like it - biosexual! means "the one who want to commit intercourse with bio mass", whatever it is- males, females, animals, insects, fishes, snakes and poultry and even trees, bushes and flowers. That is the coolest thing I've seen.

bi-curious - is the one who buys tapes/VHS/DVD to have a look what he misses -hence the word "curious". who cares, though...

but Bio - is new cool for sure.

One view is that people are, as a general rule, either "gay" or "straight".

A bi-sexual is either a gay person who experiments with straight sex, or a straight person who experiments with gay sex.

I think bisexuals are those who can enjoy sex with people of both genders, while bi-curious would be those who normally date the opposite sex but want to find out what it's like to date the same sex. Both are often greeted with suspicion by the "diehard" straight community because they are viewed as being unreliable in the context of relationships (there's always that insecure feeling that they may want to switch the genders of their partner suddenly and dump you). Having recently dated a guy who had a girlfriend for a long time just before and during, I can say that there are good reasons for these suspicions. However, there really do seem to be people who can enjoy a sex life with people from both sexes.

I used to be much more attracted to women, when I was younger. I suppose it may have been an overdose of hormones; within a few years after adolescence I was pretty much only fantasizing about guys. Took me a long time to deal with it, so I kept trying to date women and pretending to be bisexual to myself. But I'm not.

I have a bisexual friend who lives in a lesbian relationship at the moment. She is really tired of, apart from the obvious prejudice from the straight community, having to deal also with lesbians who refuse to accept that she is truly bisexual and claim she is afraid to admit her lesbian tendencies to herself and others.

Anyone who knows her will know she is a balanced, warm and confident person. I see nothing resembling a borderline personality in her.

As usual, reality is more complicated and interesting than psychology books or hormones.

I think the post has been answered but to stick my oar in; bisexual is enjoying the sexual company of both men and women (although not all men and not all women) and bi-curious is a sort of slang term that has been developed by those who aren't too sure and don't want to label themselves as either bisexual or straight or gay.

My impression is that a casual "lesbian fling" is far more tolerated by western society than a "gay fling. In fact, many straight men enjoy watching such events.

My guess is that straight women having a "lesbian fling" is no more bisexual by nature than a man doing the same thing, Its the societal mores that complicate what is a simple expression of a natural urge.

If we choose to keep the expression of our sexul urges in the bedroom and not make it a "liefestyle", chances are we will suffer societal bigotrya lot less.

I have found that most people who find out you are gay after knowing you for some time are far more accepting than those who identify you as gay before they get to know you.

I wonder how important, psychologically, it is to have a sexual identity. Are lables important or are they just a lazy persons ignorant lazziness.

I have always felt that humans are far more comfortable if they have a "pigeon hole' in which to put other people, like every key having a box at hotel reception.

"He is" is how we relate to people, "He is" a job, a personality, a sexual identity, a title, a lifestyle, etc. How often one is asked what we do for a living within a few words after a new acquantance becomes to talk to us.The qucker we affix a label the more comfortable we become.

I admit I have a tendency to do the same thing, it just helps define someone and thereby relieves uncertainty. It is said that "The measure of maturity is the ability to withstand uncertainty".

I have noticed that in very sophisticated or educated societal meetings, occupation is rarely inquired of. At least to your face.

Unfortunately, putting others down tends to raise yourself in your own sense of self worth or psychologically, thus it is human nature to do so and we who care about such things, have to be on guard in this regard.

The majority of western straights "tolerate" gays, but deep inside, because of the Christian-Judean credo, they know deep inside that gays are bad. Perhaps it is just becasue we are not "normal", that is not part of the majority, outcasts or outlaws to be "dealt with" rather than just to be left be.

Expats are far more tolerant toward diversity and thus in this forum, we see far less homophobia, but we all know who has those views and I am sure after an in depth interview, the "whys" would be discovered.

Here is a qustion for you.

Is the grossly high number of "viewers" of this thread vs. the posters indicative of a general interest in the subject of homosexuality among straights or pure titilation or both.

If in fact same-sex-sex was so disgusting, why does it draw so many readers?

My motivation to post on the subject is to hopefully inform and gradually change the status quo. It woud be nice, but probably a vain hope, that gays would be accepted by society, but reality is that it will probably take court decisions giving gays equality to eventually do the trick, if it happens in my lifetime.

Of course, the question remains, do blacks enjoy societal equality and acceptance even though they have had legal equality in the west for decades? Will gays ever have it, even after the laws have been changed because we are "not normal", "different" ,not members of the majority? Is it a natural or inherent "tribal" thing, genetically imposed to preserve the specie???

I think the difference between bio-sexual and gay is that gay people in general can spell properly..

Isn't Bios-exual an internet porn and PC user thing? :D

A BasicInputOutputSystem? :D

Okay, okay...

Sure being bisexual means playing both sides of the fence, and bi-curious means just looking over one side or the other, but bisexual also means one can be attracted beyond sex and into intimate relationship with one or the other gender. Given the number of relationships one can have in a lifetime this is why some bisexuals are often called gay or universal humpers when they 'out' themselves to virtually anyone. Some are purely sexual driven, yes, but many are also genuinely attracted to people regardless of gender. :o

The bio? Well I guess that's something new between you and your computer....:D

:D

A bi-sexual is either a gay person who experiments with straight sex, or a straight person who experiments with gay sex.

i would just like to say that i am 100% down the middle. i equally like sex with men and women. i prefer the company of men on an emotional level, but sexually, i am a true bisexual. so you are wrong. (i am female by the way).
