I was born in 1947. I have called myself bisexual for quite some time but now prefer the “fluid” concept. Although to be accurate we should all just call ourselves “sexual”.
Better yet, we can just call ourselves “horney”, because we can always find a way to get ourselves off. Sorry, sometimes I get disgusted with myself for dissecting and classifying everything. I would do better if I just used body language.
When 50 I got up the nerve to say I was bisexual to a friend. He said he had never considered himself bisexual, which seemed odd to me since he was the one that had been fucking me.
After processing that for a few minutes I realized he was right, because he was always on top. He was always “the man”. Bisexuality is not a matter of who you fuck, so much as a matter of who YOU are when you fuck.
I don't know why we think the man's top position is the “dominant” position? Even women think that way? If I had 50 men banging me, I might be on bottom, but I would be the one getting what he wanted - the most pleasure.
So throughout history, has the old missionary position been “role playing”? Why can't we just give each other pleasure without a hierarchy?
The man may be giving the woman a load of sperm (there, take that) but for many hours, it will be reminding her of how she was desired. While the man has probably already forgotten about it.
Social pressure eased off enough for me to admit to myself I was bisexual when I was 50, but when I was 15 I knew I wanted to suck dick. My sexuality did not come to a head until 50 because while still young, stupid, and susceptible to peer pressure - I married. But by 50 the marriage was pretty much over.
