Once again...

[fajrdrako]

It seems amazing to me that so many of the writers, poets, artists, actors, and other people whose work I admire are bisexual. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised; I already believe that more people are bisexual than most believe, and that bi people are often creative, high achievers. But time after time.... and half the time I don't have a clue about their sexual orientation till long after I've become a fan.

Devin Grayson is another such. I loved her work on Nightwing. Didn't know she was bi - well, it was remarkable enough that she was a woman writing in comics.

There ought to be more of those.

And another reason this is cool? She's going to writing the new Batwoman series.

when I was about 13 I decided I wanted to be bisexual. But I honestly believe it is not to be. Not even in times of hypersexuality do women feature in my longings. (everything vaguely male and phallic did).

Well, there you have it - or maybe you've simply yet to meet the right woman. I don't think it happens the same way to any two people, but by the time I was thirteen I knew I found women just as attractive as men - and found both very attractive indeed, in general. Not that I did anything about it. It was my happy secret.

It isn't something we get to choose, really. It just happens. Or doesn't. And I'm not sure it can't happen at any time of a person's life, unexpectedly.

Life is nothing if not strange.

if I ever meet a woman who pushes my buttons. Sure, I'll be happy and I'll go for it. But it realy feels like it is not likely. But as you said life is trange. Aliens may land and blazen my lust like nothing before. Or something.
I do admit to finding it a strange business. I can realy like a female friend, I can realy like to look of a woman, like to examine a pictire of a woman again and again. I even may feel giddy when getting a new friend and dithering around the telephone. But when I try to build a sexual fantasy around a woman all stays dead. Nothing from the sweetest vanilla flavoured fantasy to full naked body contact scenes stirs anything in my groin or other bodypart. Similar excersizes with men as the opposite have a remarkedly different effect.I can't help but think that is telling :-)

Yes, it's telling, and that's the way it goes. We just can't choose our inclinations. I wonder how many people would choose differently if they could?
