Complex issue... as a gay woman whose roots are in the bisexual community and considered myself bisexual for 13 or 14 years I have nothing but liking and respect for men as a group of human beings.. but as with any group of human beings there will be exceptions. I do not for instance, like very much every lesbian I have ever come into contact with or every str8 person.
I never knowingly had sex with a bi man in the days when I slept with men, but then I never asked and the admission of bisexuality was never offered. However as I had a goodly amount of sex with men I would be surprised if one or 2 were not. Not that the knowledge of sexuality would have put me off. It is and always has been the person which is most important to me and how attractive I find them as well as how turned on I was at the time. Such criteria did not always guarantee having sex or a relationship with Mr or Ms perfect.. sometimes they were much less than perfect but then aren't we all?
Women have the same suspicions of bisexuality as the rest of the population.. there are variations dependant on country, ethnicity, religion and culture but always exceptions too... women who don't care about a persons sexuality. Suspicion of bisexuality by other sexualities is not unknown as every bi person knows and every str8 or gay should own up to even if they personally have no anti bisexual prejudice or intolerance. Even some women who are themselves bisexual run a mile if confronted with the prospect of sex with a bisexual man.. one or two friends of mine do.. many bisexual men do the same for they are afraid of what they are or are more likely to keep such encounters secret. Awful thing denial.
It is a funny old world isn't it? The opposite happens in a sense in respect of bisexual women (and even gay women to a large degree). People in the main are far more accepting of female bisexuality... more accurately because men are, society is.. western society at least and even more so non western society. Prejudice and intolerance of female bisexuality and homosexuality exist but nowhere near to the same degree as in respect of the male equivalents except possibly in non western countries.. Indeed, the conquest of a non str8 woman is a much prized objective among str8 men..
... In a few lines no1 can explain the whys and wherefores of women and bi men.. I merely threw atya a few thoughts of me own based on me own experience and the world as I see it..
Complex issue just like every other issue involving human relationships and sexuality.
