If you are bisexual, you are capable of being straight as anyone else. I could understand people who don't find women attractive, such as homosexuals, but why wouldn't you chose a monogamous relationship with a woman?

Not true. He is capable of acting straight, but the attraction to males is still there.

Much like heterosexual men still have an attraction to women other than their wife, but if you are faithful, who really cares?

Bisexuals can stop being attracted to members of their own sex? Since when?

Bisexuality has what to do with monogamy?

If you are married to a member of the opposite sex and don't have sex with your own, that's enough for most people to consider you straight.

Well obviously the bisexual man/woman will care.

That you are attracted to men or women that you really shouldn't be having sex with anyway because you are married? That's an odd thing to care about.

Exactly. Asking them when they CHOSE to be attracted to more than one woman would be analogous.

It's enough that you should consider yourself to be straight, too. Straight as an arrow.

I'm not sure what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying that sexual attraction to someone else when you are married is a bad thing.

Of course it is. People tend to look down on adultery and sexual attraction is the first step towards that.

Well, you have ridiculous standards for being sexually straight.

I don't.

You will find that adultery is often listed for as grounds for divorce.

I didn't choose to be straight. Really, I didn't. My dick did it for me.

I chose to be straight on 22nd of June, 1998. I recall it was a damp day with a slight hint of horse manure in the air...

Pretty much. Even if you are fine with adultery, it's likely your partner isn't.

Hey look, an anti-sexual that doesn't understand human sexuality, how uncommon and unexpected! All sarcasm aside, I think your ignorance of basic biology is kinda cute. It's quaint, in a sense.

I don't know, I'm trying to make sense of what you are saying, but you are being too confusing and it's going over my head, like you said.

Well, it certainly isn't good. I doubt your partner would be pleased about it.

Adultery is not bad. What is bad is adultery without consent of your wife/husband.
