so at one time a couple could ask for a woman to come and join them.
but now its a more specific request for a bi female. and with that comes specialisation, that there is something 'more' out there. to be consumed.
but in fact its only human beings, and the woman who likes women has been overlooked in favour of the 'elusive' bi woman. sending people on another voyage of discovery or dissapointment, as often seems to be the case with some couples. so in that sense the labelling isn't working.
Does it matter at the end of the day what people are referring to themselves as? i suppose if they are misleading others it could be a problem
unfortunately the SH options are rather limited in this, perhaps there could be a blank box to identify ones sexuality
personally i class myself as bisexual, although i have never had a relationship with a woman i am attracted to them, ive met couples and have had lots of fun with the female but i have not had any requests to meet other bi single females!!!!but i have had 1-1 experiences in the past, i dont generally seek them out either, but thats more to do with me being busy
but i do prefer cock and so mostly meet men, does that still mean im bi??? i dont know and dont care, i am me and happy to meet both couples and females so long as i am attracted to them
it must matter to some people that they have gone through an experience which they see as 'authentic'. whereas wth others its more flexible. i suppose it depends on how you take it. experience being the thing you acquire through experience.
if one doesn't wish to, there is no need to get involved in complicated discussions about sexual labelling. its probably simpler and more effective to say one has sex with men and women, and leave it at that.
yeah i can see that being a problem tweeky but it would appear from this thread that people have different interpretations of the labels used and more variations might help with this, but then i suppose profiles can help to offer more information
are you familiar the label 'unisex'? it tends to be associated with hairdressing. but at one time it was used in sexual labelling. but its a good example of an expression which has been taken out of sexual labelling.
i think it just lost any crediility for sexual use. it seemed to represent a code of sexless values. but now people see a definite need to retain their gender identity, but to define their sexuality.
so maybe that is what people are more interested in establishing? their gender?
because you can be hetero, gay or bi but still very much masculine or feminine?
