"Poll: If there were no stigma, would you be open about being bi/curious?"

"Poll for the lifestyle men: If there was zero stigma around male bisexuality in swinging, would you be more open about your interests? I wonder how many of us are holding back to stay 'marketable' to other couples."

This!

I'm very interested in hearing thoughts on this!

🤔👀👂

Being open about being bi has got me laid with couples. Would i have met more without being honest 🤔 there's no way to tell without running duel profile s

P.S. any bi couples looking for a bi guy???

But your profile says you're Straight...

That's not being open about it, is it?

Do you tell them after contact is made?

I believe in being honest and open. I have no problem with people being bi - sexual. But I am not bi-crious and to say I was would be telling a lie.

Oh @daisyppp. I guess this is where my question comes from. I have been involved in straight and bi group situations. I dont feel I identify as bi but I am happy to play with males in situation where everyone agrees thats how it will play out...

My profile makes it very clear I'm Bi. 🙂

Probably why I haven't had any couples or single females reach out to me 🤣

If a profile says ‘straight’, I’d assume they weren’t interested in anything bi at all.

Kinda makes me wonder about the reputation of openly bisexual men...

Or the fear the openly straight men have of interactions with other men...

Do the straight guys think the bi guy is going to jump them without consent?

Do the straight guys fear for their safety?

Coz that would be ironic...

Well this is only how I deal with it. I am totally straight. I don't have a problem with Bi - curious or Bi - guys. In the past I have been hit on by Bi - guys. I just take it as a compliment and thank them for the attention and tell them I'm straight so no thanks. You have to remember it does matter if it's the attention from a male or female it's equally as (putting themselves out there ) for both. Everybody is different but personal observations of my male friends has shown me that very often my male friends that seem to be the most anti Bi are more afraid of their own sexuality.

I prefer being honest about bisexuality even if one is curious. It just lets others know what is on the menu. I’d like to think I get my fair share of guys gals and the odd couple but what I do get I enjoy because I know what I’m getting when we do meet. Hope that makes sense lol

My preference is to be open about it. It doesn't mean it absolutely has to happen, or happen every time, but it does mean that it's an option and no one feels like they were deceived if it comes up later on.

Personal opinion but connections are probably more enjoyable with everyone being on the same page as well.

As a recently coming out openly, it has been a slow cumming as the "social stigma" is fading & I feel more comfortable. To be honest though I haven't had any meets as the very few have end up becoming no shows. Have experienced yrs ago & soooo keen for meets again if there are people out there that can follow through

I’m openly bi and have met with many straight couples to but they clearly know what they are starting with I have found many have a curiosity so gives the ability to experience if wanted
