Why is this thread so scary to me!??! Eeeeek!

/me calms down a bit

I finally voted in the poll. I must have read this entire thread at least four times since it's been created.

I think if I would have voted in here before, I would have picked 'bi-curious', but I finally settled on 'definitely bisexual'. I'm the kind of person who would dive into lesbian experiences just because I wanted firmly to stand up for my sister's right to be a lesbian, completely disregarding my own feelings and desires. So, for a while, I thought maybe I was just fooling myself into thinking I was attracted to women.

Recently, I've come to a better understanding of my attraction to both men and women. It's not just about the person; it's also about the circumstance. That's big for me, to admit that it's not just about finding a person who resonates with me and to whom I am attracted, so I'll repeat it. It's not just about the person; it's also about the circumstance.

With men, because it's so easy to be part of what's socially acceptable, there are many many many more circumstances that I will find acceptable as a requisite to beginning a relationship or sexual activity. With women, I am apparently more selective. Extremely selective... both in the matter of which people I find attractive and which circumstances I find acceptable. Looking back, I realize that unappealing circumstances have already crushed a number of potential relationships and/or opportunities for sexual activity with women I have encountered.
