- Muffy:
- *** point being that, to me, the sex of a "sex toy" does not matter, as the
- *** attraction is then simply for sex, not for a person. To consider myself
- *** as attracted to both sexes, I have to want more than simply a sex
- *** partner (although I must say that sex partners are pretty great...
- *** *grin*). If *all* I wanted with people of one sex was sex, then I
- *** wouldn't feel that I wanted *people* of that sex, just sex-with-anyone-
- *** that-will-hold-still.
- Well, here I go on a serious (ack! OOP! thpthp!!) again. Hold STILL and
- it will ooooonly take a <grapple grapple ...thud> *minute*. There, now.
- What is exactly wrong with "sex-with-anyone-that-will-hold-still" being
- a viable definition of "bisexual"? I understand that it is not yours, or
- mine for that matter, but I think that it has merit in this: If someone
- is *willing* to have sex-with-anything-that-moves (we assume human, for now),
- then I believe that that willingness necessarily implies bisexuality.
-
- *** Speaking of which, why is the myth "bisexuals with have sex with
- *** anything at moves?" I would think that holding still would be the first
- *** requisite...otherwise, they might escape...*grin*.
- I would point out that teenage-heterosexual-boys carry the myth of
- "having sex with any girl/woman/seemed-to-be-female-at-the-time-person".
- Point is, every form of sexuality carries its own baggage - not just
- bisexuals and gays and lesbians.
-
- Also, I have had all of you holding-still since the <thud> above.
- Have we all had sex yet? Did I miss it again. DamnDamnDamnDamn.
