I look forward to your video. But before making it, do give "The Crying Game" a watch. And if you haven't seen them also "Breakfast on Pluto," "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar."

I'm not trying to shame bisexuals

I never got the impression that you were! I totally agree with you analysis of what's going on with many male bisexuals who'd prefer to think of themselves as straight guys. This phenomenon long has been so prevalent that during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, health experts and activists had to come up with a new way of referring to the population most at risk: instead of using the terms homosexual males, or gays, the new terminology (and it's still in use today) became "men who have sex with men" (MSM) and "men who love men" (MLM). If you look at the scientific literature about HIV and AIDs, those are the terms you'll see - which runs counter to all the "LGBT" name branding that activists promote.

But here's where a major difference between the sexes occurs: as a general rule, girls and women seem to be (or in the past seemed to be) much more open to, and relaxed about, the possibility that we are/might be bisexual than boys and men are. But perhaps this is no longer the case amongst today's teens and young adults.

I definitely will. It'll be a good while before I do the video so I've got time haha.

Oh wow, I didn't know that about the AIDs crisis. So would you say that when that happened, it made Bisexual men want to masquerade as Straight even more because of the stigma?

It's kinda hard to say if women are still relaxed about the possibility of being bisexual. I think it definitely would be interesting to look into.
