"We won't meet Bi men..."

By *bat OP   Man  over a year ago

Alicante, Spain. (Sometimes in Wales)

I just read a M/F couple's comment that they would never meet Bi men.

I completely accept that each person has total control over what they will and will not do, but I was wondering why their mindset would be that they feel this way?

Is it that they think Bi men are less clean/healthy?

Or do they think bi men will suddenly pounce on their man as they loose all self control?

Or do they fear they can catch "the gey"

Or is there some rational reason that I'm missing?

Again, I do understand that each person must make their own choices, but I'm keen to try and understand people's views here.

Ta, Gbat (Bi male)

I would like to think that it is for the most part, just a personal comfort level preference. I would personally feel weird partaking with a bi inclined chap.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. But are you happy to explain why you'd feel weird?

Genuine question. Ta.

We won't meet bi women because on the occasions we have they have been aggressive towards me (f) and think that I am only saying I'm straight. We do know that not all bi women are like this.

We have met bi men though and had no such issues.

It really doesn't matter.

In short, sexual thrills are predominantly in the mind.

If it does it for you (or them), it does it, if not, it doesn't.

We all have choices to make, day in, day out.

Their choice isn't harming anyone.

"why pick it apart ?? "

Because I'm a naturally curious person and I'm keen to understand other people's viewpoint, even when I think it quite different to mine.


"they dont want to meet bi guys its a simple as that .."

I understand that entirely, and actually it acts as a bit of a filter for me. I imagine I wouldn't gel with them too well.

Of course that's your choice. I'm trying to understand WHY it's your choice.


"no different than a gay man not wanting to meet a woman "

Completely different to that. Gay men don't want sex with females. The female bit of your couple does like men.


"get over it move on"

I don't need to get over it, I was never "on it" I'm just curious.

Thanks for answering though.

I would imagine it’s a combination of the higher prevalence of certain STD’s amongst men who participate in anal sex with other men and potentially the guy feeling uncomfortable in the scenario.

It may not be that he thinks he’s going to be touched without consent, just that it’s a turn off for them.

Bi men are at slightly higher risk than none swinging straight guys, but exactly the same risk as straight swingers , according to figures i read some time back .

The real joke is the number of " straight" bi guys that are on the site ...

I’ve never seen any credible sources quoting the statistics compared to a straight male who participates in swinging so I couldn’t comment on that.

I’m not saying I agree with it, just speculating on various reasons I’ve seen discussed.

Nothing to do with risk.

We met a single fem once with her FB. He said he was straight until in the bedroom he pestered me non stop to suck my cock. Such a turn off.

Finished off by shoving his cock up Mrs Sexploit's arse uninvited.

Mr. Not all bi men are the same....

Our choice...

I'd be inclined to suggest this isn't because you met bi guys, but you met morons. There's an overlap, but there's no replacement for actually judging someone's character before fucking.

Op, I was going to reply and explain our reasons, but your passive/aggressive response to other posts suggests that you don't really want to understand the reasons, but to change peoples minds.

This post sums it all up.

The idea that Bi men are more likely to have certain STIs is not correct. A guy who is a swinger has the same likelihood as a Bi guy..

I think it's because bi/gay guys can't give blood etc, TOTAL double standards seeing as Bi women who have anal sex can.

Ultimately OP, it's just their choice, they will likely all have their own individual reasons, and they don't have to explain or justify those reasons to anyone.

I'd say rather than wasting your energy trying to understand why some people don't want to meet you, instead focus your efforts on finding the ones who do.

Thing is, you're objectively wrong though. Preference is always born out of some input or something, subconscious or otherwise, everything has reasons in some form.

Funny how so many people are happy to discuss preferences for biscuits, cars, tc shows, clothes... But as soon as they become possibly controversial there's suddenly no reason at all.

I have a preference for tall men, men older than me, men with dark hair. I can’t explain away any of them because there isn’t actually a valid reason, it’s just what I like so that is “simply a preference”.

I’m sure some people use that line as an excuse, in order to not offend some on here, and I’m sure some use it honestly.

You said yourself "valid reason". They don't have to be "valid", whatever that means. They don't have to be definable, but there are still always reasons.

To be a preference for tall, dark, older mean screams of valid reasons. To feel protected, to feel dominated... All sorts. They might not be correct, but especially based in the societal norms you've grown up with, your preference is extremely reasonable and understandable. Because of reasons.

I don’t believe there is always a reason. As I said, I like men with dark hair, I couldn’t give you a reason because I don’t have one, I simply prefer it over light hair. Hence “simply a preference”.

This sort of topic always seems to cause an issue and I’m not sure why. Is having no interest in bi men that different from say an age filter or dress size?

Your assumption is wrong as I have no desire to feel “protected”. As I said, it’s a preference which doesn’t mean I exclusively seek older men (I don’t).

How about preferring a “dad bod” to say an overly athletic body? Or having a preference for green eyes? Or finding more white men attractive than black men even though I’m a black woman? I’m all ears...

I’m not sure why it could be considered homophobic to say “I don’t want to have sex with this person(s!)”. As long as that preference is expressed in a polite and non offensive manor then I fail to see why there is an issue?

Would you consider couples who don’t want to meet other couples with a bisexual female equally homophobic?

It’s a very valid point. There’s been a lot of presumption that it’s the male half of the couple leading the decision.

It could be that gay sex between 2 men is not a turn on to the woman and therefore doesn’t feel that connection with the guy that is necessary to proceed with the meet

Dude, you seem to be missing the point at every single turn possible.

What if you don't find accountancy to be a turn on? Should you therefore rule out accountants? A man *not* doing financial mathematics in my bed could be seen to be pretty equivalent to a man *not* having gay sex with me. Is that a good comparison? If not, why not?

Strange wording but yeah perhaps the bloke doesn’t want to feel sexual tension with the other man which is obviously fine - but even just articulating it that way goes one step further than the original statement, or the way you phrased it. It would be one possible answer to the question.

Or maybe they’ve had bad experiences with bisexual , or something else still. You don’t know, I don’t know, that’s the point of the question.

Like... Why does it matter if you find it sexually unattractive or not if your experience with that person has nothing to do with it in any way? "

Why would it not matter?

The intricacies of attraction are complex and even when someone might tick all the boxes on paper so to speak it can often be the case the necessary spark just isn’t there. As I’m sure you know, most women even more than men, need to be mentally stimulated not just physically stimulated.

Particularly when in the lifestyle single guys are 2 penny, I can see why it would be an easy way to filter out the potential “applicants”!

" I've never understood why sexual attraction has to explained, especially as I've never met anyone that is able to explain their own?

Fair enough but that’s not the sort of question that originated the thread. It wasn’t about sexual attraction to one physical trait or another. It was about not wanting to meet bi men, which could be for many different sorts of reasons. "

Exactly for many different sorts of reasons, or no reason at all.

The OP really needs to ask those who have this on their profile as he won’t get *one* answer here.

I don’t meet bi men because I am not turned on by the idea of two men being sexual together whether that be in-front of me or not. Some may not meet them because of risk etc etc.

But surely isn't that why people have preferences and should be able to say them on their profile? Isn't it a better idea to get it out there so to saving time messaging?

Sexual preferences/attractions are very real ... I really wouldn't want sex with anyone that I wasn't sexually attracted to and do actually have one thing definitely that is a no attraction for me ...

Dude, you seem to be missing the point at every single turn possible.

I don’t subscribe to the opinions in books as they are heavily biased towards the opinions of a single person, the author.

The large scale study published in 2019 in Science concluded there is no defined reason for sexual attraction, specifically same sex attraction, and that many genes appear to overlap and interact with sociocultural influences.

You asked for a behaviour for which there is no clear defined reason. I gave you an example.

It may not be that he thinks he’s going to be touched without consent, just that it’s a turn off for them.

Bi men are at slightly higher risk than none swinging straight guys, but exactly the same risk as straight swingers , according to figures i read some time back .

The real joke is the number of " straight" bi guys that are on the site ..."

If you still go to a hospital or clinic to get tested quite often the nurse (or professional you see) will make a point of how certain STIs are more prevalent amougst men who engage with sex with men (gay or bi). I had a female friend who went to the GU clinic for urine tests after a number of water infections. The urine tests are for chlamidya, gonorrhea. There was no mention of doing the blood test (for HIV etc) until she disclosed her recent ex was a bi sexual male. At that point she was bombarded with scary statistics and they insited on doing her bloods. She spent the next 5 days worried sick about potentially having HIV. The tests came back negative but the experience had an impact and to this day she won't go near bi sexual men.

Don't take not wanting to meet bi guys as being homophobic.

It's a personal preference and we're all entitled to that.

Reading the thread and some of the posts, I do sense an underlying prejudice though.

I get messaged by twenty "straight" men every day, so maybe those who have a tinge of prejudice may have already had their first meet with a bi guy.

Who knows and who cares really?

Bi guys are the poor relation in the swinging community, deal with it and move onto folks you can be friends with.

As far as statistics are concerned, any swinger is at risk from an STI and I've known lots of folks have unprotected set with people they just don't know whether they be straight, bi or gay, guys or girls.

I'd say rather than wasting your energy trying to understand why some people don't want to meet you, instead focus your efforts on finding the ones who do.

K"

Just as it's your choice to be bi sexual it's their choice not to meet bi sexual men, they also owe no one an explanation as to their choice nor do you.

The above is good advice don't waste energy trying to work out why just move on and look for people who would like to meet you.

It seems that sometimes people from an excluded demographic require an explanation as to why they are excluded, not to understand why, but to force the other party to either admit a bias or to persuade them that they are in some way wrong.

The use of "personal choice" is seemed an invalid response but the simple fact is, we are under no obligation to sleep with everyone and anyone. Choosing not to play with someone because of their previous partners is a choice we are all free to make. Choosing to not play with bi men shouldn't and need not be criticised, irrespect ive of the reasons why.

Bi/gay guys , swingers and sex workers all fall under the same bracket at the clinic. If you tell the absolute truth when there you will get the full tests. Every time I have been they always ask if i want to be screened for hiv .

I was talking with about this very subject yesterday.

I’m a bi woman in a relationship of sorts with a straight man. I love having sex with both women and men, but I don’t knowingly play with bi men. We were trying to talk it out to understand why, because to me it’s not obvious.

I’m not homophobic, it’s not to do with worrying about sti’s because being a swinger we’re all at a higher risk, especially if anal is involved, which it is for me. We talked over my attraction to dominant guys, but then I felt like even if a guy was really dominant with me I still would find that he was bi a turn off. So I think maybe it comes down to my insecurity about how I look. I’ve always been worried I look a bit manly, so maybe it’s that. I’m not really sure though.

I do think that what you are/aren’t attracted to is something you can’t control and sometimes it’s hard to understand why, and that’s ok as long as you’re not being a dick to people about it.

Consider yourself accepted if you want to try. It would be hilarious to have a "Cum Dine On Me" narration as I nom on your luncheon meat. That is if you really do sound like Dave Lamb.

"It seems that sometimes people from an excluded demographic require an explanation as to why they are excluded, not to understand why, but to force the other party to either admit a bias or to persuade them that they are in some way wrong.

The use of "personal choice" is seemed an invalid response but the simple fact is, we are under no obligation to sleep with everyone and anyone. Choosing not to play with someone because of their previous partners is a choice we are all free to make. Choosing to not play with bi men shouldn't and need not be criticised, irrespect ive of the reasons why.

People shouldn't demand an explanation. People shouldn't have to explain.

"

I totally agree with most of this, and I'd like to think that anyone reading what i'd written, rather than what they decided I think will see that's the case. No one deserves a reason, no one is obliged to given one that passes someones elses satisfaction at all. Of course not. However none of that covers the fact that reasons, often very interesting ones that are fascinating to explore, will still exist.

"I have many gay friends and would happily share a woman with a bi male but I don't find men sexually attractive. I feel my point was completely missed. SOME is the key word. Some people disguise their homophobia as just a preference. For others it could be a bad experience or whatever reasons. I'm not judging anyone specifically or calling people out. Just giving my thoughts on why some dislike the conversation. "

People missing your point? Here? Surely not!

Yeah I agree, plenty of reasons are possible. As I said ages ago somewhere, people only seem to cling to "no reason" when there's a path towards a controversial opinion. No one is aggressively defending their right to have "no reason" to prefer tea to coffee. They'll happily talk about the taste, the ability to dunk biscuits, the ease, the variety, or maybe deep psychological scarring that somehow relates to coffee from their childhood... but I don't see anyone taking the route that people do here when issues of homophobia, racism etc. aren't potentially lurking.

Would you prefer people to openly state that they are racist, homophobic etc?

If a person is respectful, treats others as they wish to be treated, behaves totally appropriate at all times and keeps their thoughts and views to themselves, surely they can be left to their own thoughts without fear of criticism, providing they never share their thoughts or act in a way that descriminates in their daily lives?

I won't meet gay men. I am not attracted to men. I have my reasons. I will not treat gay men in a way that disrespects them as individuals, but I'm not going to sleep with them.

What about men who only want to sleep with eastern european women? Is it because they find eastern european women sexy or because of a darker, more sinister reason?

Your desire to find out the "real reason" why people express a preference puts you in the same bracket as the Witchhunter General. You have decided the answer, now you need to have that answer confirmed.

Well we all know almost no one thinks they're guilty of any negative prejudice, so that's not an option.

Yep, totally agree. But shouting out blanket profile statements like "NO BI GUYS!!!" isn't respectful, nor treating others as they wish to be treated.

Oh no, I haven't decided what the reason is, I've merely decided there IS a reason, just like said you have. No one is obliged to give theirs. In many cases though, other people are entitled to quietly, and respectfully make their own presumptions of those reasons in the absence of another one.

Sometimes without analysing you don’t know why, it’s just a gut reaction. It’s easy to know why you prefer the taste of something, but not always why you have a preference for other things. Some things are more complex and not as obvious. Often people are happy to just trust their gut feeling and leave it at that. It’s not always for unpleasant reasons.

Quite right! But I don't think anyone has demanded an explanation and no one has been forced to read or add any comments.

Gbat, you seem like a nice Man and when allowed there will be many couples looking for Bi-men, so you may be in luck. We explained on a previous thread very simply why we prefer not to play with Bi-men. The thread then turned racist, so we gave up explaining why we play how we do. Best of luck in your search and happy swinging.

"I would imagine it’s a combination of the higher prevalence of certain STD’s amongst men who participate in anal sex with other men and potentially the guy feeling uncomfortable in the scenario.

It may not be that he thinks he’s going to be touched without consent, just that it’s a turn off for them.

There doesn’t have to be a logical explanation, may be just purely based on sexual preferences.

That’s an interesting stance.

If you didn’t want to clarify, then why post?

No one is forcing anyone to explain or to meet people that they don’t want to, however dismissing a whole group of people based on preconceived negative opinions is the definition of discrimination.

Dressing it as ‘personal preference’ doesn’t change that

I find preferences to be a bit weird myself as I have them as well. Also I can’t explain them either.

So when someone says they don’t want to meet TV’s I don’t immediately want to know why. If that makes sense

Same as the previous comment that I find beards and a very hairy body a turn off (not stubble, that can be quite sexy) in fact I find hair a turn off unless it’s on your head.

So these threads will appear the ‘preferences’ argument will be added as a comment and I’ll generally agree with that person. Unless they show in some way they’re prejudiced against a group of people. But that’s another debate .... in general not everyone finds each other sexy, that’s life for you.thumb)

But your allowed to find something sexually attractive or not. Wether it’s looks or sexuality (or any protected other characteristic). Doesn’t mean you don’t like the group of people included/ or think any bad of anyone. Just purely sexual preference xx

Everyone has reasons and preferences, people have had bad experiences etc. I will say thpigh bi men are demonised a lot more than bi woman as they are nowhere near as socially accepted. Are we swingers as a group generally socially accepted? It is wrong to assume that all people are the same and everyone thinks and feels the same. A lot of people have self control and like reciprocating admiration to have sex with someone so straight people bi and gay people don't want to turn you just be accepted and not judged. We all want the same great sex and fun times whatever form that takes

Very true. However attraction can come into it.

I don’t find the idea of men sleeping with men a turn on, so I don’t meet bisexual males. I have nothing against bisexual males nor would I treat them any differently in any other situation.

Equally as I find myself more attracted to white men than black men, and I’m a black woman.

When we first starting swinging we met single men for straight MFM, it didn't matter if they were bi or not as long as they knew it was a straight MFM.

We had a meet with a bi man who overstepped the boundaries we had all set which made us feel really uncomfortable and we ended the meet.

As we had limited time as to when we could meet we decided only meeting men who said they were straight after that

In every case?"

Well in the first instance "prejudice" isn't inherently good or bad. I'm deeply prejudiced against cuddling wasps nests...

In these scenarios I would still feel it's a negative prejudice whenever these things are turned into blanket rules. That's not to say any malice is intended though, but in purely technical terms most things can be classed that way. These feelings have decades of cultural influences, and can so easily naturally align to what you're positively used to in those situations, again with no intentional negative views of those demographics you reject. However you then should be thinking carefully about how you enact your preferences...

As a bi man I'm going to state some unpopular facts. But they are facts.

HIV is far more prevalent in the gay and bi community then straight.

The majority of western women who catch HIV through sex do so from sleeping with men who have sex with other men.

I have been turned down many times for being openly bi and Im totally

OK with that.

It is simple. As a female I find the thought of a man fancying another man as much as me a huge turn off.

"Good post and well done to you for being honest about your situation and accepting other people's right to choose. "

So the fact my wife likes sucking cock is totally fine by you, but the fact that I do to, albeit to a significantly lesser extent, is not acceptable and means you'd refuse to meet us for that specific fact alone...

Have a think about that eh? There's a word for that.

Yep, can't deny that it is indeed very simple...

Have a think about our profile. We are only looking for a man to have fun with me. Mr Flirty does not play. There's a word for peoiple who don't read profiles and make ill informed assumptions.

I suggest you re read this thread and take a look at who actually said that.

Here’s a clue... it wasn’t me.

I must apologise, I saw you screaming STRAIGHT all over your profile and gave you the slight credit that you'd at least be worrying another man might touch your husband. Given even that isn't the case, it really is, as you said, extremely simple.

Thanks for the clarity.

"Probably worried about the aids epidemic."

Some stats of interest

There were 4139 new cases of HIV in 2019 in The uk 1700 were bi or gay men. Another 1300 were straight men and 1100 women.

Bi and gay sex cases were down 47% from 2014 but females were up 33% from 2014

Of the 100,000 people with hiv two thirds are male

Honestly some people here are nuts. It's like they think not wanting to meet them for sex is some sort of crime. Should a straight female be forced to meet bi/gay females when all she wants is a strsight guy. Just because a bi guy has a cock that doesn't mean every female in the world has to fancy him. Get real people. We all make choices about who we sleep with and there's a word for that. Choice.

"Bi guy here.. absolutely no other to me whatsoever of folk say that they don’t meet Bi guys. A million and one reasons why, some sound, some may be dubious, but either way, why would I want to pursue someone who didn’t want to meet me? The one red line in all of this is consent, and if that isn’t delivered with enthusiasm, then it ain’t for me!

Spot on. If you look through almost every profile on here it will quote preferences, bi, straight, small cock, big cock, tall, slim, no beard, smooth shaved, age etc etc. A preference is a preference we all have them.

You seem to have utterly missed the only actual important point here. Just like so many others have. "

Not at all, the important point here is that people have preferences, just because one of them is not wanting to meet bi guys doesn’t make it any different.

Apology accepeted We 'scream' straight in our profile because we get loads of bi guys contacting us (some of who even pretend to be straight when we question them on their profiles) and we'd prefer they just accepted our right to choose who we meet and not try to deceive us.

Are you deliberately missing the point, or too fearful of the logical consequences of acknowledging it? You're clearly intelligent yet seem intent on only having have a thought here.

I can try and spell out once again that you have a choice. And your choice is made from your views, feelings and knowledge of whatever subject is in question. You don't have to understand, justify or explain those feelings at all, but they still exist, otherwise you wouldn't be making a choice in the first place.

If someone said to me, I’m not going to talk to you because you are Bi, then I would rightly think them homophobic. If someone says, I won’t meet bi guys because of my sexuality and or sexual preferences then I think that’s different. I think that more couples would be likely to be less boundaried if the couples involved were to meet in real life rather than online.

Maybe not you but People do think that way though. Another 5 years and the stats show that there will be minimal transmission between the gay community. As they have been through the trauma of the aids past and are more sexually aware and tested more regularly than straight guys.

"I just read a M/F couple's comment that they would never meet Bi men.

I completely accept that each person has total control over what they will and will not do, but I was wondering why their mindset would be that they feel this way?

Is it that they think Bi men are less clean/healthy?

Or do they think bi men will suddenly pounce on their man as they loose all self control?

Or do they fear they can catch "the gey"

Or is there some rational reason that I'm missing?

Again, I do understand that each person must make their own choices, but I'm keen to try and understand people's views here.

Ta, Gbat (Bi male)

We don't meet males but even if we did we wouldn't meet bi males.

We understand your curiosity, but at the same time we do not feel that anyone should have to explain their personal choices.

That’s an interesting stance.

If you didn’t want to clarify, then why post?

No one is forcing anyone to explain or to meet people that they don’t want to, however dismissing a whole group of people based on preconceived negative opinions is the definition of discrimination.

Dressing it as ‘personal preference’ doesn’t change that"

Glad you find it interesting, and by all means call it what you want.

Just to point out, it isn't a a preconceived opinion. We just have absolutely no interest in bisexual men.

However without trying to appear argumentative we happen to value free will and freedom of choice very highly. If we choose something or someone to exclude without causing offence, then that is our choice and we do not need to clarify.

Too many people like to call the discrimination card when they don't know what discrimination is.

Frankly, we see it as an insult to the people who are really being discriminated against.

A personal choice being call discrimination? What next??

Being forced to do something you don't like. Is that what comes next?

Let is fire a question back then.

Whilst we accept that everyone has total control of what they want to do, what mindset makes someone bisexual instead of straight?

Is it a mindset, or is it just personal preference?? We never question the fact that it someone else's preference and we totally respect it, and never question it.

Strange that.

"When we first starting swinging we met single men for straight MFM, it didn't matter if they were bi or not as long as they knew it was a straight MFM.

We had a meet with a bi man who overstepped the boundaries we had all set which made us feel really uncomfortable and we ended the meet.

As we had limited time as to when we could meet we decided only meeting men who said they were straight after that

For arguments sake if a straight guy had over stepped the mark and did something to the female half of the couple that you didn’t like would you stop meeting straight guys ? "

Funnily enough, the last meet we had put me ( Mrs ) off for a long while for overstepping boundaries so I am guessing the answer is yes.

We didn't ever meet couples.

You assume the man touched Mr Ruggers.

I don't know whether it was the man himself having no respect for what had been decided before the meet or he couldn't control his urges, we didn't ask, we just chucked him out
