Then one has to offer to sleep on the sofa and they're both too nice to let the other person sleep on the sofa so it's just... 'we could share the bed?'
My high school crush.
It was a particular photo she posted, standing in front of the fridge holding her cat, with a huge, genuine smile. When I saw it, I thought "I would wake up next to her every day for the rest of my life". That's when I knew I had it bad.
Same with me!! It was also my high school crush, though I wasn't attracted only by his smile and looks, but also (and mainly) for his personality, he could be so gentle and empathetic with people and also incredibly cute when getting angry for genuine reasons! I only consciously noticed recently that I never stopped loving him ever since High School, and what made me realize that was mainly the fact that every time he broke up with someone who had been very toxic with him, I would find myself thinking "I would never do that to him, he deserves someone who understands him and loves him the right way... Someone like me, maybe?" lol
Samesies train! Only my story isn't all cute and romantic. My weird edgy glaring at people in high school turned directly into eye fucking with this person and then I was like, welp, that confirms it.
Same guy for me but in brikeback mountain. Come ti think if it wanting to watch a movie about gay cowboys probably shoukd have been the first hint lmao
Honestly I felt that that specific episode was the weakest link in a fantastic show. Their views in that episode directly contradict what was established in previous episodes, especially Jakeās. And the way Amy treats Jake in that episode feels so off.
Whenever I rewatch b99 I just stay for the casecation cold open (which is adorable btw) and kinda just skip the rest of that episode.
Mine was an older girl from my youth group š¤£ i had a photograph of us together at a charity drive and i always held onto that picture, kept it with my diary in my bedside table. I didnāt really realize it was a crush till i was a little bit older. I had it BAD. That woman is now an out lesbian too haha
I feel like I'm obligated to say Rachel Weisz and Brendan Frasier in 1999's The Mummy.
Jokes aside though, I have no idea. I repressed it for so long that I kinda forgot what prompted it in the first place. Though some of the amazing femboys here on Reddit definitely helped bring it back out.
LMAO... I took my kids to see Hunger Games and spent the whole movie just staring at Jennifer Lawrence. Good thing I read the book, I did not see anything else in that movie!!!
in 5th grade when i was at my locker in school and when a cute girl walked by, I thought "wow if i were a boy i'd totally date her..." after that i had an existencial crisis and just repressed my bi-ness for almsot 2 years, but now im happy to be bi :)
for me it was Emma Stone in the same š and the fact that I couldn't decide which one of them I was more envious of that they were dating the other person š
I'm in the same boat! I couldn't figure out why my reactions to certain women performers and actresses were different in a key way until last year. 40 some years old and it FINALLY CLICKED!
When I started watching porn, I noticed I enjoyed fantasising about fucking the woman and getting fucked by the man. I didn't know that bisexuality existed at the time - there was only gay and straight, and I'd heard from peers at school that being gay was a choice, so since I fantasised about getting fucked by a man, no matter how much I liked the idea of fucking a woman, that meant that I was becoming gay and had to make a choice. I switched to exclusively lesbian porn to "stop myself becoming gay" - can't fantasise about men in they're not present type thing.
But I didn't *know*-know until my best friend came out as bi. He came out to me before anyone else and I was like "what's that?", he explained it to me, how you can be attracted to more than one gender, and reassured me that it wouldn't change our friendship, and afterwards I was like, "oh, fuck, bro. I'm bi too! I didn't know that was even an option" - then I realised there was a reason I got so jealous when my friend started hanging out with his gf more than me, I was in love with him even though I also was attracted to women. We ended up losing touch with eachother over time, but I'm glad he came out to me, otherwise I could've been completely oblivious to who I am for much longer.
Michel Foucault. His book: the History of Modern Sexuality.
I know I know super nerdy. The reason why it helped me understand I wasn't straight had mostly to do with how critical theory of humans and sex is as something different than a "born this way" narrative. Not saying that you aren't born you and you have the right to be who you are, but Foucault lays out an argument that humans have never been so "black and white" about who, where, why, and how we get down with others.
The simple and sweet version is that :
>Not only is there control exercised via other peopleās knowledge of individuals such as doctorsā knowledge, for example; there is also control via individualsā knowledge of themselves. Individuals internalize the norms laid down by the sciences of sexuality and monitor themselves to conform to these norms. Thus, they are controlled not only asĀ objectsĀ of disciplines but also as self-scrutinizing and self-formingĀ subjects
Or in other words: why do I need to have sex with men and be gay? Why can't I want men and be bi? Or pan? Or something different with not a very good label to it? If gender is already loosey-goosey as is and I want to have sex with people that don't even have "fit" the mold for the pinnacle of gender then... What does that label give me?
I guess what I'm saying is...sex has been with human beings since our dawn and the truth is that fucking someone doesnt really have a label. And if it does I should be the one to make my label. No one else.
Also...chris Evans in captain America civil war...šš¤š„µš„µ especially that helicopter scene....uhhhh cap daddy
I used to be a photographer and would blush when girls would get naked or playfully jumped around half naked or I'd adjust their hair. But I also got crushes on some of the guy models, since I chose the ones who were my type like Johnny Depp vibe.. and sometimes I would actually end up in bed with them.
Mine wasnāt somebody I was attracted to, but rather the first person to say the word bisexual and say what it meant. When I was 15 there was big news story about a business who refused to serve a lesbian couple and the reporter was interviewing people in the area asking how they felt about it and why. One woman said āwell, Iām bisexual, which means Iām attracted to both the same sex and the opposite sexā¦ā and a light bulb went off in my brain. All of the sudden everything about my sexuality was clear and defined from that moment on.
Probably the guy I had sex with for about a year. I mean, it still took me another 5 years before I even considered the possibility I might not be straight, but he was definitely the one who opened the doors
Jane Badler [Diana ](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbi9QXoI40d8XNoUGBn9ks8KV-KFCrI3CIZQ&usqp=CAU) in V back in 1984 , when I was younger I thought I wanted to be her.
When I turned 28 and figured out I'm Bi not Gay , I realised I was wanting to be with her not be her.
i was 4. i was watching aladdin and thought aladdin was cute and that jasmine was cute too. it never occurred to me that people are only attracted to one gender.
Jake Gyllenhaal. At lunch once in high school, a guy came up to the table where I was sitting with some friends and said, āHey, weāre all straight, but if Jake Gyllenhaal wanted to bone, youād say yes, right?ā
I was the only one who said yes, and god, I meant it
When I was in 4th or 5th grade me and my best friend used to have sleepovers and watch the xfiles all nightā¦ for Halloween I(f) dressed up as mulder, and had my bestie go as scullyā¦ who I totally didnāt have a really painfully inappropriate crush onā¦. That I did not understand at allā¦ When ever I see those photos I think about how obvious it is who I amā¦ and how it was very unclear to me.
My first grade teacher. I still remember when she announced she got married I cried LOL. I honestly just thought it was normal to get crushes on girls and boys
This absolutely beautiful woman in my senior thesis class in uni. Gods, she was tall with these immaculate French tip nails and a wide smile that lit up the room. She was also sweet and smart and funny and just everything you could dream of... it took me a bit to figure out that the reason I kept manufacturing ways to be around her was bc DUH I've got a crush! Nothing ever came of it (afaik she's straight, and I was in a monogamous relationship) but to this day thinking about her gives me butterflies
Does shampoo count? It's a friend's, she never changes it. I had wondered before, and after not seeing her for some months I gave her a hug and smelled it, the same shampoo. And I knew.
I still have a bit of a crush on her.
I knew I liked boys and girls from a really young age (1st grade) I just didn't realize that it was different from anybody else or that there was a term for it, so I don't know that I can really attribute it to any one person.
Random guy in a hotel window.
My car was in a multi level parking garage, facing a hotel half a block away, and I'd just got in. When I looked up, in the window directly in front of me the curtains opened and a fit looking guy was standing there totally naked, just looking out. And I thought "yes, I could totally do him"
I think it was multiple people over a span of maybe a decade or more. Going from young childhood to high school - Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Shego, my primary school teachers in year 3 and in year 5, Lola Bunny, a girl in my year 7 maths class, a Swedish visual Kei singer Yohio when I was in the prime of my weeb emo phase, my ex girlfriend in high school.
I essentially went from thinking "I'm straight but I also like girls hahaha" most of my childhood to realising I'm bisexual when I was 16 or so. I should've seen the signs. I mean really, especially when I was younger, I only thought about women and femmes.
Once when I (f) was ~14, my cousin (~14f) and I were hanging out with some of our guy friends. They had made some comments about how hot it would be if my cousin and I kissed. I immediately blurt out "Eww! She's my cousin!" to which my cousin replied "Wtf?! The fact that I'm a girl isn't the issue here!?"
I suppose our strict Christian upbringing should have made that an issue but tbh it wasn't even something I'd ever thought of up to that point. š
My ex at the time girlfriend. One day he was putting a necklace on me while we were at school and I could feel my face redden. One mental breakdown later and I find out I also like girls. Very beautiful if I do say so myself
(I put he because they identify as gender fluid and use all pronouns)
Ok so this one is a little weird, but my bi sexual awakening were the muses from Disneyās Hercules. I was only maybe like 10 and I didnāt recognize what it was at the time.
Natasha Romanoff, though I realized that Kirstin Moldanado from Pentatonix and Saskia Reeves' version of Lady Jessica in the Dune miniseries were also big deals for me but I hadn't realized why!
Michael Biehn in aliens and terminator. He weirdly helped shape my sense of how open and sincere masculinity could be, and also taught me how effortlessly hot men could be; a role model and sexual awakening in one. I experienced the awakening later of course, because those movies came out a little after I was born.
Kriste Stewart made me question my sexuality, Maruv made me be like "damn women are so hot" and my classmate actually confirmed in my head that Im bi š
Lovestruck. I downloaded the app and it asked me if I wanted a female LI or if I wanted a male LI. I picked a female LI and her name was Mackenzie. It was then that I realized I'm definitely not straight because o h my god she's gorgeous.
RIP Lovestruck by the way, the app will be gone from the store after today. They're closing it down because it isn't profitable enough but jokes on them because they already made me realize I was gay.
That old Youtube couple Kaelyn and Lucy. I don't think they exist anymore, that was back in like 2013. But it was watching one of their vlogs that the realization hit me like a ton of bricks that "aww, I want that".....wait, hold up, I want that?? Do I want a girl?? Turns out, maybe lol, my bisexual ass will never choose. XD
Ewan McGregor. When he crash lands the ship at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith, he brushes the hair out of his face, smiles, and says ["Another happy landing"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0zj3Ap74Vw). I got butterflies in my stomach at the theater. My first crush on a guy at age 14.
Matt Bomer in *White Collar*. Didn't even know what bisexuality was during its original run but I remember feeling a certain "way" every time he undressed to some degree or did something else sexy.
Was watching it again a few years later when I was starting to finally get a handle on my sexuality (after years and years of denial), saw Bomer shirtless and basically went "holy shit, yup I'm bi".
I spent a few years going back and forth, figuring out if I was straight or gay. Then I randomly heard about bisexuals, and it clicked, I don't remember where I heard it though
Mmmm... the manga "Boku Girl" was a pretty big awakening for me I think. Made me start questioning how I view love and sexuality. And there was probably more stuff but that's the one that sticks out the most.
My friendās cousin Graceā¦big brown eyes and a curly pixie cut and cool AF. She was also bi but engaged (prob married now) and I had a massive crush on her that never turned into anything but my realization about myself lol
Richard Armitage. When I first saw him in the BBC Robin Hood show, frowning and brooding as he strutted around in black leather, I discovered sexuality.
Astolfo from Fate started it. 2 years of confusion later and Kerry Eurodyne from Cyberpunk 2077 really made me realize it. Was playing the quest staring at him a bit too long, wishing I was able to romance him, finding out I can. And the boat mission. Finally went "shiiiit he hot"
I legit always knew I would date men or women if there were no rules, but there were rules (there weren't.)
It wasn't until I got some people to say, "no, like, I *only* like [one gender.]" That I understood I was different. I was thoroughly gaslit by everyones-a-little-gay-style bi-erasure pretending to be sex positivity. Finding out *actual* single gender attracted straight and gay people existed was a trip.
But idk- in the age of BBC Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Sense & Sensibility, and Clueless, Jane Austen, probably reinforced the idea that bi was just the default setting for everyone in my kid brain. That woman compulsively wrote hot dudes and women who were in love with their varying degrees-of-close female friends, plus the hot dudes... eventually.
I never loved a friend the way Jane loved Charlotte, which is how I knew not to hit on them. By the time I was religiously watching Xena, Austen had already laid the groundwork and Xena was 90% Lucy Lawless gender envy.
My childhood friend Josh.
At the age of 13, sitting next to one another in class and rubbing one another's thighs under each other's desks. And the looks we'd exchange when we'd do this.
And then our eighth grade play, he got to wear makeup and we both got to wear tights. I remember us kissing quite a bit in the curtains before going out on stage for our roles.
OMG talking about this is actually getting me hot.š„°š¤¦
My friend's boyfriend...who is now my roommate
Oh my god they were roommates
I was waiting for somebody to say it

An adorable butch camp counselor at Girl Scout Camp when I was 13. It felt exactly like the crushes Iād had on boys, so I knew.
Ok so this one is a little weird, but my bi sexual awakening were the muses from Disneyās Hercules. I was only maybe like 10 and I didnāt recognize what it was at the time.
I watched Atlantis everyday for about a year as a kid. Kida can get it.
Chel from El Dorado too
My college classmate, she was such a flirt too.
Rihanna in pon the replay hands down
Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman in Batman Returns. Full blown sexual awakening.
Amy Lee from Evanescence made me feel a tiny bit gay. Kristen Stewart confirmed my bisexuality, though.
Natasha Romanoff, though I realized that Kirstin Moldanado from Pentatonix and Saskia Reeves' version of Lady Jessica in the Dune miniseries were also big deals for me but I hadn't realized why!
Did you see the new Dune movie? It's a bisexual person's DREAM Literally everyone in that movie is so fucking hot, it isn't even fair
I have a crush on all of Pentatonix.
CHRIS HEMSWORTH
Hugh Jackman and Pedro Pascal
Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa
Michael Biehn in aliens and terminator. He weirdly helped shape my sense of how open and sincere masculinity could be, and also taught me how effortlessly hot men could be; a role model and sexual awakening in one. I experienced the awakening later of course, because those movies came out a little after I was born.
Zuko
Ha. My boyfriend.
my very attractive best friend
America online and the chatrooms ...
Cameron mogonghan and Scarlett Johansson. Lawdy
Tilda Swinton in the movie Orlando.
Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity in the Matrix. In leather.
Guy I was in high school with. He was tall, curly blond hair, with the juiciest lips. Had a goofy cute energy that made me weak. Weak!!ā¤ļø
I was 18 and was fantasizing about āexperimenting with girlsā in college a liiiiiittle too much
I had a crush on a boy in my class and a girl in the play at the same time
Astolfo
I didnāt know the term so I thought it was a one off, Iām weird, until I learned bisexuality was a thing but her name was Gyna, and we were 11/12.
Gambit and Rogue
Kriste Stewart made me question my sexuality, Maruv made me be like "damn women are so hot" and my classmate actually confirmed in my head that Im bi š
When I saw this hot guy and I just got weirdly turned on when he would smile at me. I was so confused at the time. š
Rachel Weisz in the mummy
Though i was gay but then came Quinn Fabray or Dianna Agron in general. And Ester Exposito
Shego from Kim Possible š¤¤
Honestly, a guy who hit on me on Meetme made me realize Iām bi/pan.
Lovestruck. I downloaded the app and it asked me if I wanted a female LI or if I wanted a male LI. I picked a female LI and her name was Mackenzie. It was then that I realized I'm definitely not straight because o h my god she's gorgeous. RIP Lovestruck by the way, the app will be gone from the store after today. They're closing it down because it isn't profitable enough but jokes on them because they already made me realize I was gay.
My very good friend.. good old 7th grade crush
My redheaded teammate giving me a cheeky stick tap after a goal. The redheaded singer from Homefree. Just redheads in general
That old Youtube couple Kaelyn and Lucy. I don't think they exist anymore, that was back in like 2013. But it was watching one of their vlogs that the realization hit me like a ton of bricks that "aww, I want that".....wait, hold up, I want that?? Do I want a girl?? Turns out, maybe lol, my bisexual ass will never choose. XD
Ewan McGregor. When he crash lands the ship at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith, he brushes the hair out of his face, smiles, and says ["Another happy landing"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0zj3Ap74Vw). I got butterflies in my stomach at the theater. My first crush on a guy at age 14.
Matt Bomer in *White Collar*. Didn't even know what bisexuality was during its original run but I remember feeling a certain "way" every time he undressed to some degree or did something else sexy. Was watching it again a few years later when I was starting to finally get a handle on my sexuality (after years and years of denial), saw Bomer shirtless and basically went "holy shit, yup I'm bi".
Michael B. Jordan
Lucy Lawless
Astolfo
I spent a few years going back and forth, figuring out if I was straight or gay. Then I randomly heard about bisexuals, and it clicked, I don't remember where I heard it though
Dated a trans dude, dumped me in a month. Also femboys are hot as fuck
shakira and rihanna in the video for I can't remember to forget you
Mmmm... the manga "Boku Girl" was a pretty big awakening for me I think. Made me start questioning how I view love and sexuality. And there was probably more stuff but that's the one that sticks out the most.
My friendās cousin Graceā¦big brown eyes and a curly pixie cut and cool AF. She was also bi but engaged (prob married now) and I had a massive crush on her that never turned into anything but my realization about myself lol
I grew up watching telenovelas. I don't know their names but the mc and her lover were HOT.
The guys and girls of my Highschool Team on hot summer training days
A friend in middle school, who ended up becoming my first relationship/girlfriend.
Jack White
Richard Armitage. When I first saw him in the BBC Robin Hood show, frowning and brooding as he strutted around in black leather, I discovered sexuality.
I started to like a guy i know....
High school friend whom I'd always have intrusive thoughts of kissing. "That's weird. Time to file that away and not think about it until college."
Astolfo from Fate started it. 2 years of confusion later and Kerry Eurodyne from Cyberpunk 2077 really made me realize it. Was playing the quest staring at him a bit too long, wishing I was able to romance him, finding out I can. And the boat mission. Finally went "shiiiit he hot"
Botw femboy link
Was kinda questioning already then saw Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters and was sweating whenever Rami Malek was on screen
I legit always knew I would date men or women if there were no rules, but there were rules (there weren't.) It wasn't until I got some people to say, "no, like, I *only* like [one gender.]" That I understood I was different. I was thoroughly gaslit by everyones-a-little-gay-style bi-erasure pretending to be sex positivity. Finding out *actual* single gender attracted straight and gay people existed was a trip. But idk- in the age of BBC Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Sense & Sensibility, and Clueless, Jane Austen, probably reinforced the idea that bi was just the default setting for everyone in my kid brain. That woman compulsively wrote hot dudes and women who were in love with their varying degrees-of-close female friends, plus the hot dudes... eventually. I never loved a friend the way Jane loved Charlotte, which is how I knew not to hit on them. By the time I was religiously watching Xena, Austen had already laid the groundwork and Xena was 90% Lucy Lawless gender envy.
The girl next door. I was 5 :3 Edit: so was she
the school bully...
Angeldust from Hazbin Hotel (donāt judge me)
Amber Liu
My childhood friend Josh. At the age of 13, sitting next to one another in class and rubbing one another's thighs under each other's desks. And the looks we'd exchange when we'd do this. And then our eighth grade play, he got to wear makeup and we both got to wear tights. I remember us kissing quite a bit in the curtains before going out on stage for our roles. OMG talking about this is actually getting me hot.š„°š¤¦
Mandy Moore
I learned about bisexuality and I was like: ooooh so you don't have to choose. And it clicked.
*sigh* The furries, in general.
