One of the things I find most liberating about the lifestyle is being able to be open about sexuality and desires.
I find it difficult to imagine going back to being in a relationship (of any description) where I could not be who I wanted to be sexually.
I thought it may be an interesting topic to think about past relationships or relationships that may have evolved and opened up new avenues of honesty. But then my thoughts started drifting again.
Is it less horrifying for a woman to tell a man she quite likes the idea of tasting another lady (and I also relate that thought to the recent threads about the numbers of bi women v’s straight men in couples) than it is for hubby to say “Do you know what my dear, I have always wondered what it would be like to have a cock spray my tonsils with a sticky hot load”
I know I am not alone in being a great fan of watching two guys suck each other silly, yet there are significant numbers guys who just don’t do it in front of their wives for whatever reason (usually because they don’t know). I very rarely come across women sneaking off to meet another lady (or may be they just do it much more discretely), yet you can find men all over the place nipping out for a bit of penis action without their wifey knowing. This is not all superstition by the way – I do talk to most of the guys I watch sucking cock. Admittedly it is usually after they have finished, as in most cases if they think a woman is around they go all straight and deny they are there for the willy action.
Why does it appear that more men keep their same sex activities secret from their partners than women do?
And then my thoughts turned to (no – not “oh it’s just another form of cheating”) but actually for once, just how pretty damn awful it must be to feel you have to hide it.
Maybe society finds the thought of two women more acceptable? Maybe more men like to watch two women than women that like the idea of watching two men? Maybe it's to do with masculinity and men feeling like it's wrong?
All these 'maybes' but one thing I do know how painful it can be to feel like you have to hide your sexuality or face being disowned. Thankfully my fears were unfounded.
oooh you are on form with your threads
although there shouldnt be, i think there is still a stigma attached to homosexuality which makes it more difficult for some to admit not sure if this is because its penetrative by the actual sexual organs where female on female isnt unless its fingers or toys. just my personal musings on the subject.
i agree it is a shame when people cant be honest and just be the person they are, personally i am more than happy to watch 2 blokes, 2 females or a mixture, i have no hang ups around any.
saying that as a married person i wouldnt have broached the subject of fem on fem with my husband, i can see the look of disdain on his face now just thinking about it. Being on the scene has made me more open and honest, but i still find it hard to ask for what i want, but thats just a personal thing.

Someone once said to me that they thought every person had a certain degree of "bi curiosity" about themselves, some would admit it and try, others would totally deny it.
In my marriage I am the most sexually liberated I have ever felt in my entire sexual life. My previous marriage I wasn't allowed to even masturbate in front of him let alone bring a vibrator into the house. This time, I can be myself when I want and how I want. Equally, if my husband was to come out and say he had a bi tendency I would be surprised as he has always been straight but not shocked as we are very open and honest.
It wouldn't bother me seeing two gay men together, my husband wouldn't enjoy seeing that so I wouldn't put him in that position.
Its almost certainly down to masculinity IMHO.
A lot of guys have an attitude (and yes, I stole this from a T-shirt!) of "I agree with lesbianism, so long as both birds are fit." And lets face it, watching two women is probably in the top 3 of the men's fantasies top 100. I believe that bisexuality seems almost fashionable among young women at the moment!
Guys have a much tougher time of it. From birth, they are bombarded with the message that it would make them less of a man.
As has already been said, cheating is cheating but I feel desperately sorry for bi guys in a relationship where they have to hide their feelings.
Something I read yrs ago re men in denial of latent gayness:-
Some men prefer sex with a shemale because they can kid themselves they arnt gay cos "she" wore makeup or cos she "looked" female.
Every time I go into a gay bar or club, I look at the "normal" or "Straight" looking guys and try to imagain seeing them on a building site somewhere, but cos i know they are gay, I just cant picture it.
Having said that, I cannot picture seeing the camp ones anywhere outside clubland.
I used to work with real butch type guy who was gay curious, yet no one at work ever suspected his fantasies
Just wanted to add that I saw this in an ad a while back.
"Straight guy-but happy to be fucked/give oral to another guy & swallow his cum so long as he understands that I AM STRAIGHT" :shock:
D'ya reckon he could have been swimming in that river in Egypt perchance?
i could never even have a proper vanilla disscussion about sex with my wife, she was so trained into thinking sex in the catholic sense (please this is not a religious statement so dont go there) let alone have disscussion about anything considered kinky.
I have always been very upfront at the start of any relationship that I am bi and will not change that ever since I first came to terms with my bisexuality properly.
Before I could admit that - actuallly - I am a sexual being who likes both genders almost equally (with a slight bias towards men - I just fancy the more) I was gay then straight then gay then straight - based solely on the gender of my partner.
So I struggled and felt guilt and stuff - every time I had a boyfriend I wanted a girl and vice versa - until i finally took a step back and told myself, 'You know what - you need to relax with who you are' - and i did just that and it was a liberating experience.
I could not imagine now not telling a partner from the get-go that i don't swing both ways out of confusion or indecisiveness, I swing both ways out of the fact I am definitely a bisexual and I hide nothing. Sure, that's put off people of both genders, but if someone cannot handle that aspect of me then I am probably not the right person for them.
Ive found with a couple of straight friends of mine that they just dont understand what bi-sexual means. They seem to think that people who are bi are confused about who they are and just dont want to admit that they are gay, which is of course not true in most cases. For some reason they always ask me if i think someone looks like they might be gay, for some reason i can usually identify them correctly (gaydar?!) but when i say no they say something tht always makes me laugh "Are they a bit bi then?" You cant tell by looking at someone whether or not they are bi (i suppose you may be able to in some cases)there does seem to be a bit of confusion amoung some straight people about the whole issue. I'm repeating myself but you get the general idea of what i mean...i hope.
