Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water....
I wasn't aware that people were still confused about the bisexuality concept. Lots of people are attracted to people of the opposite sex, and I do not fault them. With a similar general feeling of luxury, I welcome people who are sexually attracted to those of their same sex. My statement was thus: I feel that most men (Note careful use of words there) who claim to be bisexual are not indeed so.
By claiming to have sexual interest in both sexes, not only does the confused individual increase his chances for a date by 50%; he does not have to deal with an obvious social stigma of being labeled a fag. To some, that's huge and truly a significant thing in life.
Think of it...what is the absolutely worst insult that a schoolkid can throw at a chum that has pissed him off? That's right. He's a fag. I've been called that many a time, and it just rolls off my back because I came to the realization years ago that yes, I am a fag. These people are merely stating a fact. Why should that upset me? You can fling that vitriolic word at me until your face is as purple as my foot is right now, and it will make no effect on my life. I simply don't care.
A lot of guys do, though. A lot of men are concerned with what their families will think of them if they are known to associate with other men. People are afraid they will lose their jobs if their sexual orientation is found out. For a lot of men, these are valid reasons for concern, so out of a desire to remain within the status quo, to preserve their marriages, etc., they chose a middle ground. "I'm bi."
I've got a lot of research to back my side up. A fellow named Havelock Ellis did silly amounts of research into the sexual deviations earlier in this century. His pivotal work, Studies in the Psychology of Sex devotes several hundred pages to discussions of the societal view of homosexuality in 1906, when he originally penned his work in England. Of course, the authorities thought that he had written scientific pornography, so it was promptly banned.
Later on, our pal Alfred Kinsey knocked post war America on its ear with the publication of his Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male in 1948. He had the undaunted audacity to say that most men actually had sex with another man at least once. He even went so far as to create a scale from 1 to 7 with exclusively homosexual at one end, and exclusively heterosexual at the other. The five sections in the middle indicated guys' preference for girls or guys. The midpoint indicated a fellow that was truly bisexual -- one who has sex equally with men and women. In this scale, it was that number that was the lowest.
If you qualify both ends of the scale, and assume that there are as many pure homosexuals as there are pure heterosexuals, it could only make sense to have a far lesser number of those who are truly bisexual. This is how it comes out roughly. I can't lay my hands on my copy right now, so it comes from memory and does not add up to 100% (sorry. It's been a long time since my days in statistics class)
You get the idea, though. This is a valid comparison for the numbers of men who have deviated from their sexual norm, and I believe the numbers do play out when applied to the population. Shere Hite, when she wrote the Hite Report used Kinsey's sliding scale, and found it as useful in predicting the sexual preferences of the people she interviewed in the 1970's as Kinsey did in the 40's
As can be clearly deduced, the concept of bisexuality does indeed exist in my mind, as well as in the scientific community.
Notwithstanding, my primary concern is with the man who inappropriately claims bisexuality to hide his own embarrassment over his trysts with those with whom he would not usually have sex. (Huh?!?) I'm talking about closet cases, here. I mean those unfortunate souls who simply cannot come to the healthy realization that they are indeed gay, but for whatever reason, they are trapped in a lifestyle that goes against their grain. Perhaps they are married, or have families full of stupid rednecks. You want to find out all about them? Read Laud Humphrey's Tearoom Trade or just have a look in the personal ads in your favourite computer. The woods and public restrooms are just crawling with str8boiz who are looking for a dick to suck. That, dear ones is what I meant when I said "bisexuality is a cop for those who are afraid to call themselves gay." I stand behind my statement and theory that real str8boiz don't touch cock, and true blu gayboiz don't go within miles of pussy.
You disagree? Go get your own fucking journal.... (hehehehe)

1. 25% are purely heterosexual, meaning that they have NEVER had a sexual experience with a man.
2. 15% have had a couple of experiences with men (I was drunk)
3. 7% have sex more often with women then men
4. 5% have sex equally with men and women, and thus are bisexual by clinical definition
5. 7% have sex more often with men than women
6. 15% have had a couple of experiences with women
7. 25% are purely homosexual, as I fall into this scale.

Arrogance without conceit...that's the key.
