Poll: Would Your Partner's Sexuality Bother You?

[snow]

couldn't there have been a "No" Answer that didn't sound homophobic?

I refuse to use the poll because IT'S A TARP!!

I dated a few bisexuals... They all cheated on me, so that kind of lays on my mind a bit... So I try to stay away from the ordeal.

However if I were dating some one and later found out... I'd be worried but I wouldn't instantly break it off.

But seriously, placing the no answer as a homophobic answer is kind of wrong...

No, it wouldn't bother me. Because I am bisexual myself, so yeah.

I don't think the choice for no was a good option. I wouldn't date a bisexual, not because I think it's wrong, but because my partner could leave me for another man or woman.

Most gay men that I know tend to stay away from bisexuals, because very few are truly bisexual and will tend to lean more to being gay or straight.

I've had this discussion before with many of my friends, both straight and gay, and most of them wouldn't date a bisexual.

In the end it's a personal choice wrapped around personal thoughts and experiences.

 

[Rainboq]

I am one so....

Yeah...

 

[Scde2]

I'm dating someone who is bisexual.
It doesn't bother me one bit.

 

[Pegghead]

Well as long as they didn't go on about it and she wasn't the one who incessantly kept staring at the cleavage of women at the beach I'd be fine with it.

 

[RandomWords]

HELL YES, doesn't matter to me as long as she is attractive and cares for me. Plus that sounds kinda HOT!

 

[Feste]

As a straight female, I have to confess I'd be somewhat disturbed by the idea of my boyfriend being bisexual. I wouldn't mind if he had experimented in the past or was slightly less 'straight' than average, but I think I'd always feel as if I was lacking because I couldn't cover all his 'interest' bases if he was openly bi.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

As long as I'm getting some, I'm cool.

But seriously, placing the no answer as a homophobic answer is kind of wrong...

I'm of two minds about if that 'no' answer is homophobic or not... Homophobic would be "No, homos should all die! They're [insert vague denunciation here]!"

Though, that "no" there is perhaps not the best "no" available, it's not really homophobic - phobias are irrational hatreds and fears of something.
Someone whose opinion is "I don't like homosexuals... personally I think it's wrong" but doesn't go around abusing gay people and broadcasting their hatred (and insistence that gay people are beneath them) isn't really homophobic; it's an honest opinion that's different from the norm. I know it sounds strange in this politically correct world, but rational and loving people can still think somehthing like that is wrong.

Personally, though, I don't know that it'd upset me. I've been tempted by experimentation before, I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to my partner.

The most amusing thing about this thread? How many people here have replied with stupid answers like "Whoo, girl on girl is hot!"

 

[Lust]

Don't ever try to rape, abuse, or kill me.

Those are my only rules when it comes to relationships.

EDIT: My lover's sexuality, whatever it may be, isn't a problem with me.

 

[Spinozaad]

Wouldn't have a problem with it.

 

[Yureina]

Don't care, on account of not really caring for sex in general.

 

[FollowUp]

Ah, sure. It's not a big deal. I wouldn't really consider it worth mentioning actually.

 

[joshthor]

The christian in me says its wrong, but the man in me (sounds SO gay but i swear its not) says thats hot. im indifferent.

 

[Red Albatross]

Been there, done that. The past is the past, what matters is the present.

Also, it was nice to be able to comment on the attractiveness of other women and get an agreement instead of a dirty look. YMMV.

 

[Engarde]

Makes absolutely zero difference wether they are to me. As long as they are faithful, as I would expect from either orientation, they are fine with me. Hell, I might even be bisexual myself. Not quite sure as of now. Then again, I am not to interested in relationships at all right now, so it does not really matter.

 

[Psiboom]

Wait, wait, why would I care if she was Bi-Sexual? That would mean she just likes what I like, on top what's normally expected, that's an 'effing big plus with me.
