Seriously...don't compare consensual bisexuality/questioning/gender queer sex with a culture of rape. Please...

If you read a little closer, he actually said "A sexual person who engages in prison sex for the release/companionship" which is TOTALLY different than saying that the person was raped. kramus was saying that a man might have sex with another man in prision because they desire the good things that come with sex. Have you ever been in prison martinguerre? Do you KNOW that all sex that happens in prison is rape, no matter what the two parties say? Don't be so quick to make decisions about things you don't know about firsthand. $.02
Anyway, I think part of the issue with this discussion is we haven't nailed down what it means to be bisexual and what it means to be bicurious. I think bisexual means you form sexual relationships with men and women, not preferring one over the other, having many of both genders over the course of a lifetime. To me, if you're a woman who identifies as bisexual, then meet another woman and get married to that woman, excluding all others for the rest of your life, you're no longer bisexual, you're a lesbian, because you have committed yourself to an exclusively lesbian relationship. However, if you marry another woman, then you continue to have relationships with other men (and/or women) then you'd still be bisexual in my book.
Bicurious is something I'd classify myself as, because I have been with men exclusively, and am now happily married to Martel, but I have recently (happily) discovered that I'm attracted to women and wouldn't mind having a healthy, sexual encounter with another woman with Martel at the same time. This would fall into the category of a FFM threesome, and I would call that bicurious because I would be expierementing with another woman but in the context of my own hetrosexual marriage.
Really, tho, what does it matter? I agree with what has been said earlier- if people weren't so freaking uptight about sex, I'd imagine a LOT more people would say they were bisexual or bicurious!
