"Why is it not good enough to be Jim, Cindy or Steve?" Because it isn't - humans don't work like that... yet. We're trying to get there, slowly but surely, but we ain't there yet; we are not at the point where someone's sexuality - and whatever they wanna call it for themselves - becomes the non-issue it needs to be. We've barely gotten away from that silly "you're either straight or gay" crap; we are, on the whole. struggling with the notion that people are bisexual (and could be); so when "Steve" says he's straight but gets his share of dick at times, of course it's gonna be questioned because it doesn't fit what we already know. That would be like me - a Black man - telling people I'm really Oriental or, even better, Caucasian. You'd be right to think there's something wrong with the way I see myself, wouldn't you - and then dismiss it as, "Well, if that's what he thinks he is, that's on him but he sure looks Black to me."
Why does it matter if you're anything else but straight? Because it does. This isn't about labels; it's about an argument that is as old as humanity is: If you're not like us, well, shit. Straight is the way everyone is supposed to be and we haven't grown up enough yet to accept the fact that everyone isn't straight and doesn't want to be straight. It shouldn't matter but it does - for now. So when you and Steve get finished having sex and he says that despite what just happened, he's still straight, you look at him - and like I do - and say, "Okay." And leave it alone. Any of this doesn't become a problem until we make it a problem and the fucked up part is we keep making it a problem. Real-deal, real-life shit, fellas. What you call yourself doesn't really mean a whole lot and more so if you and I are having sex but, yeah: If me and Steve are getting together to blow each other (or whatever) and I know he believes he's straight, I'm gonna look at him real funny like - and not make it an issue because it's not worth fussing about because I might not know what you "are," but I know what you just did with me and I know you like girls, too. What's that called?
@Tag: My brother, I've heard so many guys say the exact same thing you said and many of those guys will tell you that they're really straight when their actions really do say otherwise. I'm not trying to offend you but I'm sharing something I've learned: What you do, when you do it, or even why you do it doesn't mean a whole lot... but that you do it does and that's what pretty much everyone is going to "judge" you on that and it's gonna piss you off because that's not how you see yourself. Like those guys who only get some dick when they can't get any pussy? In their minds, they're straight but to everyone else? They ain't straight. Actions speak louder than words... except when it comes to this, huh? Then that straight guy will very much prefer for us to believe that what he's doing doesn't mean shit - but that him saying he's still straight means everything. They say bisexuals are really homosexuals but here's a truth they don't understand: We're only homosexual when we're doing something homosexual; otherwise, we're straight... but because we can go either way, we are bisexual. And the other truth is... some people don't like being defined like that. It's not about dating; it's not about being in a relationship; it is - and always has been - about how you have sex and who you have it with and if you have sex with both men and women - and regardless to why or when you do - you're bisexual... and you sure as hell ain't straight.
Do it once and only once? You get a pass on that because a lot of people try it at least once. Do it twice? Eh, you might be bi but, okay - a lot of people do it again even if to figure out if they liked it the first time. But if you continue to do it - and no matter when you do like once or twice a year or something like that, well, you're not all that straight. Y'all don't have to believe me or any of this but trust that given how long I've been bisexual and the shitload of experiences I've had - and the people I've come in contact with - this is some real deal, no bullshit shit because this is what people are gonna think if you tell them you're straight but, from time to time, you like sex with men. Here's the problem: It's hard to argue against what someone believes. You can tell them the facts of a thing and if they don't believe it, they're not ever gonna believe it. This ain't any different. You say you're straight and why you are... but your actions, whenever you take them, says something else. Which thing is actually right and the truth?
I know what most people would say: The truth is they're straight... because they say they are and they say that because it's what they believe. And nothing you're gonna say to them is likely to change this perception of themselves unless they find reason to change it... and most people just won't do that because it's not what's comfortable for them inside their head. Period. Fact. You ain't gotta believe me but this is something I've learned because I made it my business to learn it... because of the many men and women who behave like bisexuals and say they're straight that I've run into... and I had to find out why.
