know you're gay or bi? last time i checked, straight people didn't need to have sex with the opposite sex in order to safely conclude they are straight, so why do people think you need to have sexual experience with the same sex in order to conclude you're gay or bi?
 
I know exactly what you mean! People might say, "Oh you are just confused because you haven't gone out with anyone." This may be true but that doesn't mean I still don't have feelings for both sexes. I agree, straight people know they are straight, even if they haven't dated anyone. When I told my friends I was bi, they accepted it and moved on, but I can't help feeling that there are some people out there who are thinking, "She's just confused or wants attention." No that's not true.

To answer your question, people think you need to have a same sex experience because they are ignorant and don't understand homosexuality.

Have a great day :) xoxo
 
Well you do have a point.
But then again, so do people who say you need to have sex to know.
Cuz you got those damn 11 year olds who think its cool and they will be bisexual or gay up til the point they actually have sex, because they will relize, Hey I don't like this. This isn't as cool as I thought.
Cuz they really aren't to begin with.
I'm not dissing 11 year olds or anything, just an example.
 
It's not that you need to... Just that if you are actively gay or bi, you will find people who claim to be, that are then totally repulsed by the physical act! It's also a way of sorting out the fashion Bi's (usually EMO/Scene kids), and the sexually confused or insecure.

People tend to fixate on their sexuality, sometimes believing they are one thing when they are actually something different. Sorry I really can be difficult, I don't think we mean to be cruel in here, it's just seeing the same old misinformed questioning over and over....
