Reading through the adverts for couples, it is noticeable how many of the girls are, at the very least, bi-curious. Conversely, at least 95% of the blokes are described as completely straight – i.e. with no interest whatsoever in other males to bordering on the homophobic.
I certainly find this very hard to swallow (excuse the pun!) and would posit that an awful lot of guys are at least curious to know what it is like to give another a BJ.
So, is the reticence due to the remaining social stigma attaching to same-sex male contact or is female bi-sexuality genuinely much more common or is it that many couples wish to actively discourage males with bi-tendencies, not least because of the intrinsically greater health risks?
I`d be interested in reading the answers to this one. I can`t answer, I broke my brain.

bA man/lady after my own heart. (Sorry I don't know which you are. Does it matter?)
How right you are. Bi females are accepted, nay, might I say, encourged by lots of men who seem to find it horny. But try to suggest there may be a little gender bias here and they are likely to have some sort of fit.
I'm a strainght female and I know I'm straight cos I've tried bi and it doesn't turn me on. I don't however have a fit or lose my stiffy, metaphorically speaking, if a woman touches me in a group situation.
How many blokes do?
Yes I think it is a social bias and that people are homophobic.
Each to his own preference I entirely agree. But we are very close minded about gay/bi men.
And my main gripe is its a tad unfair. It is so often assumed and expected (and often by men) that ladies who swing are or should be Bi and that they are in fact inferior swingers if they are not. I myself have been pressured in this area. But apparently the situation is not the smae for men. Girls should be bi, men definately should not. HMMM?!?!
This is a stereo typical view I know but does illustarte a point.
I know I'm not bi cos I've tried. Excuse me sir, how do you know your not?
I'm not advocating men should be bi if they're not but lets be fair shall we.
As to the health issue: Is it in fact greater? I'm not concinved.
Be all do bjs and finge/genital contact with what ever gender and I would advocate pentrative sex with a condom what ever the gender. Is male bi activity within these parameters any more risky than any other kind of sex.
I think if an idea turns you on, then explore it! I think it is a little harder for men to admit to finding bi fantasies attractive, but I`d like to think that it wouldn`t be so difficult on SH. People are so accepting here.

I have to agree with Bilko and Icequeen.
Because I had been in monogamous relationships for 15 years or more before finding this site and then deciding to stay, I asked myself many questions and did a little 'soul searching' and decided that I was still straight, but not homophobic.
I try as far as I am able, to be respectful, tolerant and open-minded to and of other peoples' boundaries, requests and desires; but MM is just not for me. I have very few problems with what could be termed 'close contact' during MMF (albeit based on a 20 year old exp.) but have no desire to even 'experiment' with direct playing with another man.
Icequeen's comment struck a cord with me as to the coercion aspect from men. I make no secret of the fact that I am supporting my ex and friend, CA in her bi-curiosities. Even to the point of encouragement. I am after all a normal (whatever that is) healthy male with a sex drive. The point where I feel that my support and encouragement is perceived as persuasion is the point where I will take a massive step back and leave her to it. (Or not)
To answer a critic or two - I will just says that her curiosities were brought out for discussion by her; after we had broken up.
it is a very intersting topic....
again i am another one with bilko on this occasion...
the interesting thing is.. if you have a look in the "couples for men" section of the ad, the thing that took me by surprise is the amount of people who then say "no- bi's" as if the bi guy is going to forget about the woman and jump on the guy...
i do think that a lot of the ad's on there border on a hell of a lot of things... homophobic being one of them...

A good question. When I was 14 I indulged in a good deal of mutual masturbation with other boys, it didn't bother me then and it doesn't bother me now, but then I discovered girls.
In the intervening 40 years I have been wanked by men in saunas or Jacuzzis three or four times and I can't say resisted the roaming hand or raised any objection, it was OK, I enjoyed the experience and I have no qualms or embarrassment about it, but there is a line in the sand. I could not do more than that to save my life, no I don't want to try giving a blow job, and I certainly don't want to kiss or hug or more.
I think it has something to do with non-sex sex, a kind of mutual scratching of an itch, just as it was when I was a boy. There was never any pre-sexual affection in our wanking, the boys in question never became "special friends", we just did it, laughed and went our own way.
It probably makes me a total pervert but I think of myself as straight and nothing in my past makes me feel I'd like to swap sides. I guess a bit like a girl using a sex toy, it's another means to an orgasm, but just as mechanical and just as insignificant but marginally more satisfactory than doing it yourself.
Its because most men lack imagination - end of story!!
hhhhmmmm! i will possibly live to regret this! this is purely hypothetical ok!
i wonder how many men, in say a group sex situation, completely carried away, suddenly finding themselves getting the best BJ of their lives, on noticing it's actually a bloke, will continue not to notice just for the duration???
it's just an honest question! not an admission! i can't personally give you an answer on that, and the one experiment i ever had when i was 18 led to such severe long-lasting, self-recrimination i've avoided even the possibility of that discovery ever since, for those reasons! just a thought! and i do not define myself as even bicur, let alone bi!
neil x x x ;-)
Good to see so much interest and thoughtful response ...... I'll let this run on for a while and then pehaps comment further.
IceMaiden ..... Just so you know, I am the camel half of R&K!
Maybe bi-men are more inclined to anal ...... hence potentially higher risk
A condom in a mouth!!!!????????????//
Thats disgusting!!
Before we all start sidetracking on whether or not bi/gay men are more or less likely to practice safe sex (is that abstinence?), it would be nice to get back to the original topic
