I&#8217;m not attracted to men, but I can appreciate that a man is good looking, well built and may be attractive to others, be that men or women, for a variety of reasons. I can of course appreciate women &#8211; because I&#8217;m attracted to women.<\/p>\n<p>What I can also appreciate is that some lesbian women mistrust or even resent bisexual women. The road to coming out, or even admitting to yourself that you&#8217;re gay can be long and hard. When you finally do reach a point in your life where you are happy with your sexuality it must be somewhat annoying to think that some individuals are &#8220;playing&#8221; at being gay.<\/p>\n<p>The problem I think comes from the difficulties that our society presents to gay people and the thought that people who are bisexual or &#8220;lezzing it up&#8221; for a laugh may just be taking the piss. And I think the latter of those two reasons stems in no small part from women and girls &#8220;lezzing it up&#8221; for the benefit of their partners.<\/p>\n<p>I once heard a guy say &#8220;all women are latent lesbians&#8221;. I think that&#8217;s more a reflection on his desires and fantasies than his experience of non-heterosexual sexualities. What I think he meant was &#8220;I wish my girlfriend was bisexual &#8211; allowing a threesome from time to time &#8211; but preferred cock&#8221;. Not a point of view that&#8217;s particularly abhorrent, I would just prefer a little honesty.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of shows that used to run and re-run constantly on Sky in the UK where a camera crew visit night clubs and encourage the revellers to get semi-nude and rude for the entertainment of the viewing public. This occasionally displayed one of the classic pieces of theatre that women have learned will pique a man&#8217;s interest &#8211; The drunken lezzed-up kiss.<\/p>\n<p>Short-skirted tipsy girls, encouraged by the presenter would bump, grind and smooch &#8211; much to the delight of the male party-goers. It&#8217;s all a bit of fun, yes, but to a gay woman it could easily be seen as a slap in the face, devaluing her sexuality and passing it off as &#8220;something that girls do when they&#8217;re drunk&#8221; or &#8220;a passing phase she&#8217;s going through&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to get all sanctimonious about this because I love watching a couple of girls getting it on as much as the next man. Indeed I get a little miffed if anyone implies that you&#8217;re either gay or straight, sexuality is a fluid thing that evolves through your life and encompasses new experiences &#8211; and in some case different genders at different times. Two girls having a laugh and getting the boys excited is fine by me, but I can see how someone who has struggled with their sexuality all their lives would find it offensive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t like putting people in boxes so I do try and be accepting or at least understanding of people&#8217;s views and sexuality.
