Reminds me the only mulletts were worn by lesbian drivers in our Army, on long bus trips all I heard was Dr Hook for 8hrs, grrr. Showering with naive 18yr old female recruits we…

Something just occured to me – isn't checking the sex blogs something most do on their breaks, not when they get back from one?

Darlin', my day job involves erotica. Poor, sure, but happy.

You know what it's like. You get back to the internet after a break, and the first thing you do is find out what the sex blogs are doing, right? Right?

I do manage to trip the gaydars of some wimmin (the…

Interesting* fact: the plethysmograph was used to stop people dodging the draft by pretending to be gay.

US Army shows draftees gay porn! News shocker!

It's quite a long way from "Don't ask don't tell" to "I'm going to put this on your penis and then we'll know for sure!"…

I'm surprised that the reverse was not tried, find and remove all the gays in the military.

"Ooh, Two hundred bucks. Well I guess that's OK then."

Two hundred bucks and lesbian porn.

What are the reasons for peoples (negative) reactions when they find out someone is gay/bi?

I did a wee google and found something really disturbing. It's a very small study so I'd take it with a very large grain of salt but still...

A study that appears to reveal a…

Its…..complicated

Perspective one.

Some years ago now I acted as a chaperone/driver for a lesbian pool team. The team was largely constituted by those who had “retired” from the Greenham Common protest (I was quite young then). At least one of the team was bi…

I suspect 'rejected by family/best friends' stories are the worst to hear.

What really gave me the crawls was a woman I knew at Bardic Web, proudly telling me that she and her husband were the only family members who still spoke to his gay brother – because how could…

I recently returned to my home…

My uncle came out a while back, now one of his brothers won't speak to him and even keeps all the children away from him at family gatherings.
Be easier at work where it doesn't (shouldn't) have any impact on how you do your job.

Yes true, often it will…

I could imagine people being out to close friends and family, but not at work and other places, just because people knowing about your sexuality shouldn't give you that much grief.

My uncle came out a while back, now one of his brothers won't speak to him and even keeps…

And how is it now?

I suspect it varies from from "not too bad" to "not a good environment at all".

I would imagine, for example, that young people still at school would have to be pretty brave to come out, particularly with some schools. I was really impressed by…

but she couldn't be bisexual, because that was 'just greedy'.

I wonder if this is more about perceived promiscuity. The belief that if you are bi you have to be shagging multiple partners at the same time (but not in an orgy sense) in order to satisfy your urges. For…

Unfortunately John Barrowman's Captain Jack hasn't exactly helped on at least some of those prejudices, though long may he carry on...

He is ridiculously nummy. And while this stereotype irritates me, it seems there may be some basis for it.

Several studies comparing bisexuals with hetero or homosexuals have indicated…

A bisexual friend once explained to me that he was simply attracted to certain people, rather than men or women – and that makes sense to me.

I often wonder how many of us this would be true for if there was no social stigma about any sexual orientation or…

Although I do struggle with male gays who married so as to appear normal, what does that do to the women they married?
It seems unkind to say…

On the few occasions you see bisexuals depicted, they're almost always shown as promiscuous, untrustworthy, and not interested in real intimacy.

Unfortunately John Barrowman's Captain Jack hasn't exactly helped on at least some of those prejudices, though long may he carry on...

A bisexual friend once explained to me that…

And how is it now? I appreciate that there is more, well, would you call it acceptance or tolerance?

Well, I moved to a bigger city, and I believe that had a more profound effect than the passage of time. My social group has always been completely accepting – by…

Now with the benefit of a bit of age and experience, I understand that back then it was still something that was frowned on, deeply, and that the charade of marriage and all that comes with it, at least afforded them some acceptance from society.

Indeed. And if they had…
