It's fluid for bisexuals.

Sexuality is not fluid for bisexuals either.

Do you experience the "bi-cycle"? I've had bi friends who after breaking up with a partner of one sex, they find their more attracted to men or women when they start dating again or shift between preferring one sex and having no preference. For my bi friends, that has shown up as dating the opposite sex after ending a same-sex relationship or dating the same-sex after ending a het relationship.

I agree sexuality isn't fluid, regardless of preference for men or women, bisexuals still experience attraction to both sexes and that doesn't change, they don't become attracted to only one sex.

Do you experience the "bi-cycle"?

Yeah, I do. And I guess I've been noticing it more recently than anything. But I'm usually stable in the middle of Kinsey at 3, and I haven't really noticed the "bi-cycle" for most of my life. Which, based on my past year, makes me think that at it's core the cycle is at least partly psychological as much as as it's a physiological response. So one's life experiences(with males or females like you have described) can have an effect on it. It's... libido, I think; Which fluctuates separately for each sex, because neither sex can entirely substitute for the other, at least in my case.

Also, I think bi's tend to notice the fluctuations more because of the juxtaposition of the 2 libidos(to men and women). When one increases/decreases relative to the other we may just notice that change, and perhaps even chalk it up to having a "fluid" sexual orientation. But yeah, I also don't think it's anything remotely that dramatic or fundamental. No bi alive is suddenly going to be morphing to another sexuality anytime soon.

Nope. But I’ve heard younger bisexuals saying this…

What do you mean? I've had bi men on AGB insisting that not only their sexuality is fluid, but mine, too, lol.

I've had that happen to me multiple times in REAL LIFE. And thanks to this TQ+ ideology this idea is spreading. It's so infuriating I swear.

???

I mean sexuality is not fluid for anyone.

Yeah, tautology is not the best way of explaining things, champ. By all means, remain passive-aggressive about it; your community's image can't really get worse than what it already is.

You said sexuality is only fluid for Bisexuals. I'm saying it's not.

For whom is it fluid, too, then?

It's not fluid for anyone.
