I think in our current society, everyone is assumed to be straight unless proven otherwise. This includes people's assumptions about themselves. We've heard plenty of stories of L's and G's who thought they were straight and didn't realize how they feel about the same and opposite sex isn't how "all the other straight people" feel about the same and opposite sex. I've heard so many older generation women talk about "Well, we were always told sex was supposed to be awful and hurt and bleed, and good girls don't like sex, so when we hated sex with our husbands, we thought that was normal, we didn't realize it's because we are lesbians!"

(Oh gosh this is gearing up to be a long one, let me try to reel it back in........)

Anyway, contrast with ancient Greece where supposedly, being bisexual was the norm and everyone was just expected to be bi. (This is something I've heard multiple times, but I have to admit, part of me doesn't really believe it, because I've also seen ancient Greeks try to insult each other by calling each other gay or pedophile. If someone knows more about this, I welcome their input.)

So without writing a whole book chapter, what I'm trying to say is that there are TONS of bisexual people out there who have no idea that they are bisexual. Most of them think they are straight, a few of them think they are L or G. But suddenly they end up in boarding school, the military, prison, or some other same-sex environment and they're gobbling cock and eating puss like it's their last meal. How does this keep happening? How do so many straight people end up with prison wives and husbands like it's no big deal?

It's my opinion that these people are like Kinsey 1's or Kinsey 0.5's or Kinsey 0.00001's and their "heteroflexibility" doesn't come into play until they choose to allow it.

I think a lot of these unknowing bisexuals spend their entire lives believing they are straight and they just assume "all the other straight people" feel the same way they do about the same sex. Like a woman might think "Of course all women find (famous actress) incredibly sexy! They have eyes, don't they?" and they might understand how a gay guy might not find that famous actress sexually appealing because a small minority of vocal gay men go on and on about how they find women's certain body parts disgusting, so there's that element of disgust there, and we understand disgust. But why would a fellow woman be disgusted by another woman's body parts? We all have the same parts. That's how the logic goes. (Do real straight women actually find other women's privates 'disgusting?' I actually don't know the answer to this, but I do know straight men go on and on about how disgusting other men's bodies are, except when they're slobbering over body-builders and athletes... So there's that....)

So my theory is hetero/homoflexible people are just confused bisexuals from the range of Kinsey 0.0001-1 and Kinsey 5-5.9999.

Good point! I always found when people using ancient greeks always rubbed me in the wrong way. Especially since there was the whole pederasty going on and "allowing" mlm within Sparta outta what was realistically opportunistic reasons (which the reasoning was: if male soldiers loved each other, then they would fight better DURING war/military to keep the other safe. When it came to pederasty... That was enabled pedophilia).
