Best Bi Short Stories: Bisexual Fiction

Product Information

My upbringing from my mother was very insistent that I did not actually like women, so I learned very early to not talk about it.

We do hear from those who fall in love with and marry a particular person of the opposite sex, some of whom have shared their stories here at Living Out.Summary: You can’t close your eye to things you didn’t want to see but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel. I’ll close with a couple of observations that often seem to be missing from discussions of bisexuality. I have recently begun to acknowledge and come to terms with the fact that I identify my sexuality as fluid in terms of my attractions and interests. When I was just discovering I liked both girls and boys, there was an actual, real life person who could have told me those feelings were natural? Light and gentle as the breeze blowing between our bodies drenched in sweat, but strong enough to send a shiver of pleasure running down my back.

I also did have many times when I had distinctly sexual desires, especially when I had a real crush on a particular guy. By this I don’t mean that I am particularly attracted to everyone by any means, but rather that some of the people I find myself particularly attracted to are men and some are women. I go into ecstasies every time I see the naked figure of a woman, such as Venus in the Springer History of Art, for example. Honestly though, it helped to just adopt an attitude of, 'Well I'm attracted to whoever I'm attracted to!For a lot of that time, I wouldn’t have actually been comfortable using the word ‘gay’, but I’ll use it here since it’s a convenient shorthand. We ended up dating for two years during which I lived two lives - one with her, and one with my friends and family who had no idea I was going out with a woman. As I applauded and cheered the marchers, I was glad I could live out the convergence of my two worlds knowing the people who love me know I can love more than one gender.

I really hope for the people that come after us that they don’t have to deal with anything this community does every day.This lack of representation really does not help the kids growing up and questioning their sexuality. It strikes me sometimes as so wonderful and exquisite that I have difficulty not letting the tears roll down my cheeks. Nonetheless, there is a popular perception that Otto took out some of the diary’s sex-related material. My family is incredibly close and I found myself becoming distanced from them the further my relationship intensified. I’d never heard of anyone like this before, I genuinely thought, at thirteen years of age, that maybe I was the only person in the world like this.
