The "scared the gay out of me" SENT me because that could've been my younger son LOL The fam has several stories in which his long hair got him mistaken for a girl. My favorite is when he was walking thru a store and some kid remarked "Look at the a** on that girl... Holy crap she's TALL" (He's 6'7") So he turned around and casually said "Oh thanks Man..." and the kid about fell over. Idk where the boy came by his wit, but he's my hero. XD
My kid came in one day and asked, "Would you be mad if I told you I was pansexual?" I laughed a bit, they started looking worried, so I said, "Would it make you mad if I said I was too?"
As an agender person who is recently discovering they might be bi.. for me it'd be like fully gay and also fully gay, cuz technically I'm not opposite any gender lol
I'm just imagining a really cool ride at an amusement park. Like: you're swinging, and then the bar is also swinging, and everything is like spinning in circles.
I know it is totally parasocial relationship, but it's always a big boost of serotonin to be called roommates and got boopy. Thank you OT for, like, just existing.
@@klash813 Yes! Same! It was a pure coincidence that I accidentally watched the outro of an OT video one day, think it was before the boop, but I kinda liked it and just continued. Then he started to give boops before telling us to get out, and now it's something I look forward to during the whole video🙈💙
i love the "i come with nuts" comic (at 23:41) because the flat-chested M&M person means they're either 1. A trans MtF girl (dressing female identifies female), or 2. a femboy (dressing female identifies male) and there's no real way to tell which one it is.
About all bards being horny af: Thursday I started playing an socially awkward ace/aro bard with high charisma, who is just charistmatic and persuasive without noticing. It's been fun so far 😂
My bard characters are more in the "if not friend, why friend shaped?" I have become an emissary for 3 monster villages, and am garnering a reputation for luck in working out trade agreements.
I found out i was bi from dating a girl and thinking i was lesbian, then dating a guy and thinking i was straight, then dating a femboy and realizing im bisexual.

@@dyingofdioxide ... I HAVE a form of trypophobia, but it's more in the sense of how homophobia is meant, something about a hole bunch of holes (get it? Ik its bad TvT) in one place doesn't really scare me, just sort of disgusts/creeps me out/fascinates me
"I want two boyfriends, and I want my boyfriends to be boyfriends" is my life's goal. I just want men, all around me, who all love me and each other, and we're all extremely gay for each other.
I was raised in an accepting household, but the only exposure to relationships I had in media was mlm couples and het ones, so I never made the connection that I, a woman, could get a girlfriend. But in middle school, some classmates started talking about sexuality, and when I asked them about it, they gave me the basic rundown. At the end, I just decided "Well, I'll be bi, that sounds like a very cool thing to do." and I've been bi ever since.
So the "bisexuality is default" thing was actually Kinsey's finding back in the day (That both exclusively gay and exclusively straight people were quite rare), and is one of the things people freaked out about the most when he released his reports. Historically there's pretty good evidence for this as well because many ancient cultures like Rome embraced this as well. Being bi was considered normal, and limiting yourself to one sex or the other was viewed as odd.
I do actually agree with you about bisexuality being the norm, but as an amateur historian i would like to point out that Rome was perfectly fine with zoophilia and Roman orgies included animals as standard practice, so I am doubtful about them being a very good example
@@PokeMageTechare you diagnosed by a professional? I've never heard of someone having ADHD and autism, they're complete opposites, it must be very weird.
@@PeachDragon_ Certainly Rome was more liberal, but you'll find evidence of gay or bisexual relationships in many other histories as well, including Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, etc. And even in American history, paying particular attention to military. When men were away from their wives or even just deprived of contact with the opposite sex, some would seek each other to have needs met. In Japanese history, it was common for warlords to find a brothel before a huge battle because they needed their minds clear. Interesting facts. 🙂
One day, OT should end an r/suddenlybisexual video by saying the last word of a meme and then IMMEDIATELY "BYE!" and the video ends without the end cutscene.
For me its wasn't suddenly bi It was years of having to undo the homophobia that I'd been taught as a kid and come to the realization that guys can be hella cute
Me except I'm a girl and one day I went "wait why am I supposed to hate gay people again, because they're weird? i'm weird." At like twelve years old. And then proceeded to have a crush on my girl best friend for five years straight 😀 that's why I didn't get it, I was one of them 👍🏼👍🏼
Well you're at 69 likes and I'm not messing with that so 👍 But also yeah me too I had so much homophobia instilled in me from a young age that I would gaslight myself into believing I was straight because it was easier than facing the truth. It took a long time to get over that before I realized that I really like women a lot more than I like men (even though I do have an absolutely amazing bf rn)
I think a part of the problem with the guys saying they're hooking up with tons of guys but they're still straight is the lack of separation in sexual orientation and romantic orientation in mainstream society. You can be bisexual and heteroromantic.
The thing is, there have been a lot of times and places where sexuality and romantic orientation have been viewed as separate things, and in a lot of them, being bisexual but not biromantic was seen as perfectly normal and acceptable, either just for men or for everyone - or it was largely believed that the type of love one can experience for one's own sex and for the opposite sex are completely different and so it's fine to hook up with both as long as you're not cheating on a long term partner, or there was a concept of "you marry someone your opposite sex who you can tolerate in order to have children, and then sleep with your same sex friends you actually like behind their back. It's not really cheating because if it's gay it doesn't count the same as if it's straight."
I mean, if he says he's straight, then I believe him. You can hook up with people you're not attracted to. Plenty of people do it. You can enjoy sex with men without actually being attracted to them, just like it's possible to date people without experiencing romantic attraction. More power to him for being so confident in his sexuality that he feels comfortable hooking up with men while still identifying as straight. It's not just about separating different types of orientation and attraction, you also gotta separate attraction and action.
@@LeyCarnifex I'm ace and I agree, but dude hooked up with 50+ guys, I would say he is at least a little bit bi, but he can use whatever label he feels more comfortable in.
I personally completely disagree with this notion. I have seen zero reason to even acknowledge the notion of romantic orientation as a thing that exists. If you want to bang but not date someone of the same sex, you're not "heteroromantic," you're a homophobe.
@@seigeengine "I have seen zero reason to even acknowledge the notion of romantic orientation as a thing that exists." Then I recommend you look into Asexual and Aromantic communities and terminology. Separating romantic and sexual attraction is useful for people who only experience one or the other and is a perfectly valid attempt to explain why someone would want to have sex with the same sex but not want to be romantically involved.
I declared myself as bi in like 5th or 6th grade because my ace ass thought that "liking" both genders meant actually liking them and being their friend 😭 In my defense I was only told by a "friend" that straight means liking people of opposite sex, bi means you like both and homo means you like the same one. We also didn't have sexED, so this was literally the first time I've heard these words
From what I remember, asexuals were often branded as bi back in the 70s? It was the logic of "Well being bi means you like both genders equally. So No-Attraction Nancy is Bi, since she doesn't like both genders equally."
The "95% attracted to X" is what ive learned is called "heteroflexible" or "homoflexible" depending on your flavor, and was how i began my journey to coming out as Bi.
I am a trans man who got hit up on fetlife by a heteroflexible man. As a trans person it’s so hard to tell if someone is being transphobic or actually heteroflexible
As a trans man who used to be out as a "lesbian woman" for years, I was so confused about my sexuality and gender, due to internalized trans- and homophobia. It took me getting hospitalized with severe depression to finally start acknowledging my feelings - including that I am a man who really likes other men. I am also a HUGE Batman fan/nerd, so ofc I was extremely hyped when "The Batman" with Pattinson came out. Went to the movies to see it, and the entire time I just sat in my seat, flustered in a pansexual panic at how attractive Pattinson was as Batman and Zoë Kravitz was as Catwoman 😳
On of my friends had the exact opposite story. She had a lot of internalized homophobia from her parents, but growing up the topic of gender identity never came up so she never got any internalized transphobia. In college she realized that she liked women, and the way her upbringing manifested made her think that she must be trans as men are the ones attracted to women After a couple years of soul searching and living with different sets of pronouns she eventually realized (these are her exact words on the matter), "Oh, I'm not trans, I'm just a dyke" 😂
Pfft, what's go great about Batman? A pillar of man, shrouded in the darkness clinging to his form like raindrops down his chiseled countenance, his fiery stare just as strong as the fist he deals upon his enemies or the hands he uses to pull a beautiful catburglar into his mighty arms? Pfft, nothing hot about that...
I’m sorry this happened to you, this is an amazing story I’m so happy for you, but I just had to say, agreed, the batman franchise is rlly cool, and she was the hottest catwoman to boot :)
saaaame, every now and then I see a guy and I'm just like "... yes. Yes indeed, that is a nice looking man" and then can't get them off my mind. Otherwise it's sapphism all the way down babyyyy
I feel bisexual girls get such sh*t for just being with men...I like girls way more but I fell for a bisexual man and was with him for 6 years. He didn't turn straight and neither did I. We just admired people together
People seem to treat it like Schrodinger's sexuality, like being bi just means the waveform hasn't collapsed yet and as soon as you date someone, that cements you as gay or straight
Omg, I love my straight boyfriend, but I'm jealous 😢 (And I can talk with him about that like that, too, but it's more technical for men then. He's a bit of a fit nut, slightly
yeah definitely, I'm a bisexual girl who does have a preference for men, and I'm also hyperfeminine which for a lot of people makes them think im even more "straight" even though, as many sapphics know, hyperfeminine women are actually really often sapphic. a lot of the hyperfeminine alternative fashions attract a huge amount of sapphic individuals.
I remember the day I realized I was bi was extremely sudden. I was standing outside of a hotel in California in the rain, on tile, and a guy walked by on the sidewalk and it was right then and there where I realized that my romantic thoughts about men was in fact me actually being attracted to them and not just *weird shower thoughts*. I then promptly fell flat on my ass when I went to step forwards.
I was that friend once. I just like kissing people and one girl came over as a dare from her boyfriend, and then approached me on her own 3 more times that night and the next day was incredibly confused. Her boyfriend was, on the other hand, very amused. I think he knew XD
Congratulations! 🎉 Being aware is the first step... but it's also the most scary step because now you're like of f*ck what do I do now... and being trans looks different for every trans person in terms of transitioning, partially transitioning, and even not transitioning at all! Just know that from a non binary person here that you're valid no matter what.
@@brihebert119 Oh, I'm 6 months past the first step, hun. I'm still trying to feel it out. Mostly because I'm poor and have more pressing matters to worry about first. I at least live in a US state that is very accepting of LGBTQ+ ideas, so there's that.
Depending on where you live, you should look into see if state health insurance,if you happen to qualify for it (which if you're impoverished ,you most likely do) , covers gender affirming care. I live in connecticut, and legislation was passed, to make it so that state health insurance coverage gender affirming care. At least for people who are on State health insurance. @@llmkursk8254
I think the bisexual vs pansexual argument is the only time Omnisexual and polysexual people are glad to be forgotten, because they don’t have to be dragged into that mess
Wait, polysexual exists? I always suggested that we changed the name from pan to poly since it had the same initial and made more sense, btw what are the differences?
@@shadowolfkiller9337Pretty sure poly people are okay with *multiple* partners at once, regardless of gender, while pan people prefer only one partner at a time (also regardless of gender) - anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
Not me thinking I was straight for years and ignoring my strong preference for men thinking I just wanted to be like them because I’m trans. The wanting to be like them thing was actually true for a while but once I was more comfortable with myself I realized I was absolutely bi. Also, little shoutout to my fellow biromantic aces out there!
@@areswalker5647as a kissless virgin biromantic ace, indeed neither we get any shit with none 😂💔 We are not bisexual/biromantic, we are bi-ourselves 😂😂😂😅😅😅
People assume we’re exact opposites but actually I’ve heard a lot of ace people spend time in the bi community because they’re like “well I feel the same way about every gender and surely romantic and sexual attraction is something I experience so I must be bi” I am ace people. Aroace to be exact. Hello~ It was really fun explaining to my pansexual therapist that I’ve been ace all this time when she thought I was bi. I just went “oh, everybody assumes that because they don’t listen to the rest of my sentence when I say I’m biromantic grey aroace. I stopped trying to assert the aroace part at some point since that doesn’t compute in people’s brains as easily which means sometimes I trick myself into thinking I’m just bisexual all over again until I remember I’m not :D”
Fun fact the bi community and the ace community were largely comingled in the early days of the lgbt community, and with same gender attracted aces they were called Bambi lesbian/gay/bi. Bambi I guess used to be a slur for the mlm community (specifically against young bi men) in the 50s but was reclaimed because of someone rediscovering the term “Bambi lesbian” and posting abt it on tumblr! (Edit: Bambi in this context meaning a sexually fluid and sensitive person who prefers cuddles and kisses to sex)
21:56 “well yes but actually no” quick PSA. I find it surprising how often people in the LGBTQ+ community accidentally forget for a moment that physical sexual dimorphic attributes (eg whether or not someone has boobs) does not define their gender or pronouns. Eg, I could and would recreate that video, I look feminine and have no boobs (cause I’m AMAB), but I’m still a girl and still she/they. (This is why unless told by the person in question I will default to they/them pronouns since they’re non gender specific pronouns and most people are okay with them. The only people I’ve ever met who haven’t been okay with me using they/them before I know are just people with anti LGBTQ+ mental issues (or psychopaths, often both)
I've never heard someone call bisexuality a cult but it was really funny. I'm bi and I immediately went and shared this with my friends so they knew where my allegances lie. Thank you.
It's TH-camrs like OT and threads like this that made me finally comfortable being bisexual. I came from an accepting home but it was here I learned it doesn't have to be a 50/50 split to be bisexual and that I fall into the bisexual camp even if my sexuality is 85 straight and 15 not. So thanks OT for making me finally realize my own sexuality
I'm so happy for you! I'm also a bisexual with a preference for the opposite sex, which makes me feel like I'm "too straight" sometimes. But we're here and we're just as valid as anyone else :) And omg when that 15% hits it makes me realize how *definitely* not straight i am. It's kinda funny how much it still surprises me. XD
@@throughcolouredglasses9300 Yes! This exactly! I feel like an imposter, then the gay creeps up on me suddenly reminding me, nope definitely not straight! lmao
That bisexual flirting thing is literally so me, i went to gamescom this year and met a female league of legends team i like and one of them is literally so tall and super stunning and i just stopped in front of her and said 'ooohh my god you are seriously so pretty' and then left, almost tripping while going down the stairs cause my cosplay was tight and heavy 💀💀
One of my friends who is a boy asked another one of my friends if he likes boys or girls and I said “I LIKE BOTH” and he said “ your gay and straight at the same time?” And the sorrow I felt in those moments because he didn’t know the word bisexual was very disappointing
If you saw the alphabet, you're straight, if you saw a keysmash, you're gay, if you saw the funniest word you ever heard, you grew up with Sesame Street.

Found out I was biromantic after one of my friends pretended to be my girlfriend to keep me from getting harassed by boys at school. We never ended up actually dating, we really were just friends, but she did play a key role in me feeling comfortable with who I am today, and I’ll always be grateful to her.
The conversation on sexuality/ romantic feeling etc from aro/ ace community helped my hubby realize his Sexual attraction is straight but he's demi-romatic 😅 it's so wonderful the conversations being had by those with open minds 😊
It occurred to me that I hadn't felt romantically attracted to anyone in seven years. I paused for a moment to reflect upon all the partners my siblings had had by my age and I began to question why I was so chronically disinterested in everybody. After doing some internet research, I found the label demiromantic and suddenly my entire life made sense.
18:02 Bro I swear if my straight friend tells me “Being Pan is just being Bisexual” one more time I’m gonna flip out. Edit: 8 months later, that friend is Pan now.
It's reallyyy incredibly useless to argue about labels. It's all made up, we made it all up y'all. "Gay" itself doesn't actually exist, it's just a term we use to describe a set of things because we wanted to make a term for it. Labels are completely made up boxes
@@AliceBunny05 Labels are incredibly important, because language is the tool we use to break down and understand the world. Them being made up does not mean they're useless. As for pansexuality, it exists, but acting on it is probably going to get you a prison sentence.
@@seigeenginethats not… what pansexuality is… unless it is *for you*? Because no, labels do not mean the same thing for everyone. Hell, words themselves evoke different thoughts, images, and emotions to different people
As a woman in a relationship with two men who are also in a relationship (closed triad!) ... throwing axes sounds like a dude date to me! Also hiking, picking out plants for the garden together during the Spring sales, going down to the river to look for driftwood and agate, etc. Granted, we DO live in a rural mountain town, so lots of nature stuff. Those are some of their dates together! They're very cute.
I realized I was bi this past week, I feel so comfy with myself now. The last few days have been very happy days :3 I feel so proud. It’s peeps like my friends and content creators like OT that helped me explore that aspect of myself.
The "I just didn't know what bisexual meant" reminds me a lot of something that happened in my own life When I was in middle school some older boys came up to me on the first day of class and asked me if I was a lesbian. I didn't know what that meant at the time, but somebody sitting nearby told me to tell them that I wasn't, so I did. I guess I sounded unsure or confused because they started laughing about it, so I doubted it myself and said I actually was, which just made them laugh harder. Joke's on them though because it turned out I actually AM a lesbian. I just didn't even realize I was a girl at the time.
I found out about OT after the purple hair, and I can't imagine that he once had completely brown hair. I've looked at the old videos with brown hair, and I still don't believe it.
Hey there! For those interested, I'd like to recommend the webcomic Rain by Jocelyn Samara. It's a webcomic about a trans girl who goes to a Catholic high school trying to pass as a girl and makes a couple of queer friends there. There is a bit of outdated language in the beginning (it started in 2010) and there are a few triggering scenes, but overall, it's very wholesome and made me emotional. It's also not just for trans people, there are people of every shade of queer. Posting finished in 2022, so you can read the whole story now.
Also, if you like it, check out the author's second webcomic, My Impossible Soulmate. That one's much newer (started just a year ago) and it's still only about a hundred pages in. It's a more fantasy-oriented comic, but it's also LGBTQ+ positive and it ties into Rain (read them to find out how).
Rain helped me learn a lot about myself, and to accept and support people. It's how I've found out I'm pan funnily enough. It teached me that lesbian and gay people aren't the only ones that exist in the LGBTQIA+ community. For the longest time I didn't know about the rest. Because education about sexuality and gender identity, isn't someing they like here. Rain was such a great read honestly. One thing specifically that I adore about Rain, is the little updates Jocelyn put on her chapters. THEY'RE ADORABLE. Thanks to your comment, I might go and reread Rain again soon. And while I'm at it as well, I'll read her new comics! I've been wondering about them for some time now.
Loving this! As a recently out bi, I need more! Also your laugh is super contagious. OMG the boop at the end and the "get out of here" had me blushing :3
10:30 I can completely understand this because it weirdly enough reminds me of my asexuality. You can have sex or hookup with people and NOT be attracted to them. It's just sex. There doesn't have to be a sexual and/or romantic connection. So this straight guy sleeping with other guys because it's fun to him isn't him secretly being bi to me, it's just him having fun with no romantic/sexual feelings involved
I swear, I wish this was more normalized. I have a bit of difficulty recognizing and understanding my feelings for people and don't want to tell them that I'm like super into them when I... just don't know. But still enjoy some romantic or sexual action.
@@sus_sharkI feel like that could be either queerplatonic or demisexual, if that helps narrow your search. Demi mean you only feel attraction to close relationships, like your homies. Queerplatonic is kinda broader and really changes from person to person. Both are shades of ace
@@sus_sharkThat might be aromantic. You can be attracted to someone sexually and want to hook up, but you don't want to be all lovy dovy gf bf with them. If you're not sexually attracted, you'd be aromantic asexual. Asexual just means that you dont have any sexual attraction toward someone based on appearence or gender, but you can still feel love and have sex (but not always); you just don't look at someone and immediately go "omg I wanna fook that one!"
A real life changer for me was finding out that you can use three different things to describe yourself. You can say who you're sexually attracted to, romantically attracted to and aesthetically attracted to. There was a time when I was wondering if I was bisexual because I love women but when my sister and I watched the vampire diaries I was weirdly attracted to Ian Somerhalder. And I realized I would be interested in him until he'd drop his pants. Now I'm proud to say I'm a biaesthetic homoromantic homosexual
Nobody actually categorizes their aesthetic attraction, never mind lists it with the other two. It's just sort of irrelevant. It's also much less gender or sex based than the others.
This is me, in a way- My first ever non-hetero sexuality was bisexual. I realize now women just look prettier than men (sometimes, femboys beware!) and I'm just a gay trans man
Wait, this fits me so well. I like girls 90% of the time, but those few guys, I'd be interested til the clothes came off and then not so much. Heck, some of 'em I would like to make out and cuddle with, just don’t want to go further than that - although whether I draw the line at "both of us fully clothed" "his shirt off, mine on" or "both of us topless" is highly dependent on the individual guy. And it's very rare a guy gets this response from me... and the odd thing is that I don't really have a type, so much as extremely occasionally I'll see a guy and go "That's definitely not a girl, but I still want a kiss and to cuddle and touch that slice of beefcake." Mostly it's guys with a certain style of beard though, there's something about fuzzy kisses and I think I more like that than I actually want to kiss any of those guys because they look objectively attractive.
A bit late, but in regards to that post about bisexuality being the default at 13:00, I remember talking to my Latin teacher after school one day about how Christianity wildly changed the world’s views, and one of the things he said was that if you lived in the Roman Empire back before Christianity, you were kinda expected to be bi.
The Shakespeare meme unlocked this freshman year memory when we were reading Romeo and Juliet. Nobody wanted to play Romeo so I raised my hand 😅 and well it was an accidental sapphic story. after that only girls were participating in the roles so we just had a sapphic rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
Been there before with someone who worried about their gender. My old GF was closeted trans, but worried constantly that she'd never be able to come out, or even if she did, she might not be able to transition. I told her straight up it wasn't the shape of her body I loved, but the shape of her soul.
I'm actually a bi Christian, and I've never been happier! God loves you no matter your sexuality or identity, and no one should tell you any different!❤
Yeah I think LGBTQ+/ally Christians are following the Bible most accurately. It says to love everybody, not to love everybody EXCEPT if they’re so and so.
32:44 OT nooooo don’t get self conscious. I promise no one even noticed, not even after you mentioned it lol. We love you so much and you are such a joy and delight to watch. You look fine anyway, but this audience really watches you because of who you are and what you mean to us.
Every time OT does a bi vid, it’s always “buddy, roommate, my guy, do you have something you want to tell us?” But only when it’s not “buddy, roommate, my guy, do you have something you wanna tell yourself?”
BAHAHAHA! Not him questioning if Kitty Hawk is a real place when that's literally where Orville and Wilber Wright changed history as we know it forever; By flying the first recorded plane 120 feet on Dec 17, 1903 LMFAO I CAN'T-- LIKE YES, IT IS A ''SILLY QUESTION'' LOLOLOL
So, on The Into Deep Info, here is Something from my end: Asexuals, before we got our own name, used to go under bisexuals, because of the attraction modelle of being equally attracted to men or women, since Aces have 0 for men and 0 for women thus equal for both genders = bi. This thought procces is also one many aces will tell you that they went through. So in short Aces used to be called bi because of equal attraction to both genders.

16:01 this was kinda my point of no return. I remember searching up the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality like multiple times. I think that was a sign I wasn’t just a “very enthusiastic ally.”
I had a similar experience with being NB. I didn’t know about trans people in general until about 3 years ago, and only found out about nonbinary within the last 18 months. Since it was all new I kept looking it up and different identities under it. You only get to the point of no return when you look at something and say “why does this exist, that’s a normal experience” and tell your friends about it. Then you find out that no, it’s very much not common.
fun fact, at 12:15 the hippo in the flag is from a game called battle cats, their original description used to say they're bisexual, in the new description it states "we don't know if it is a she or he"
I feel you. Not in the same situation at all, but after I've studied in 5 schools and tried 3 universities besides orbiting various smaller groupings along life, I just have to say straights are the gigantic majority and there's no way around it.
OT i was literally making a clip of you talking about your gym spotting experience to send to someone who feels the exact same way about it when you hit us with the “this is too personal no one will relate” lol
Being bisexual for a decade now, I figured out what kind of bi I am It quite literally depends on which feels better. Sometimes I'm 200% gay, sometimes I'm both, sometimes I'm a leaning majority of 90% straight but there's always a piece of gay so deeply-seated in me. Sometimes I run into the thoughts of "Oh shit, where'd my gay go" and "Oh shit, where'd my straight go", but then I flip back to memories where I was *absolutely* one or the other and that just fixes things. It's hard man :3
"Sometimes I run into the thoughts of "Oh shit, where'd my gay go" and "Oh shit, where'd my straight go"" I feel that. And so do a lot of people. It's apparently fairly common.
@@BloodrealmX No kiddin'?! Thank fuck someone at least feels that. I try and keep it balanced, but fuck some days I'm just full on gay, and other days I'm just a straight shot. But there will always be a remnant of gay

I was raised in an accepting household, but the only exposure to relationships I had in media was mlm couples and het ones, so I never made the connection that I, a woman, could get a girlfriend. But in middle school, some classmates started talking about sexuality, and when I asked them about it, they gave me the basic rundown. At the end, I just decided "Well, I'll be bi, that sounds like a very cool thing to do." and I've been bi ever since.
"You were born bisexual.
I learned about it in school and immediately converted myself. We are not the same." 🗿
@@tylerphuoc2653like choosing a class in a skill tree after reaching the required xp and storyline progress 😂😂
I read about bisexuality on Wattpad and went "yea, that seems about right." So yea-
Read this comment and thought it said MLM relationships and I was like "So you thought you had to be straight or in a pyramid scheme?"
@@kellymurphy1098 no one fucks you harder than a pyramid scheme 🥵
The "I took a married man to bed.. and his wife" the wife is awake n the video was probably her idea, she's playing asleep. Hubby is still sleeping.
So the "bisexuality is default" thing was actually Kinsey's finding back in the day (That both exclusively gay and exclusively straight people were quite rare), and is one of the things people freaked out about the most when he released his reports. Historically there's pretty good evidence for this as well because many ancient cultures like Rome embraced this as well. Being bi was considered normal, and limiting yourself to one sex or the other was viewed as odd.
I would’ve been odd then.
Well. I already am. Autistic, ADHD, germaphobic.
I do actually agree with you about bisexuality being the norm, but as an amateur historian i would like to point out that Rome was perfectly fine with zoophilia and Roman orgies included animals as standard practice, so I am doubtful about them being a very good example
@@PokeMageTechare you diagnosed by a professional? I've never heard of someone having ADHD and autism, they're complete opposites, it must be very weird.
@@PeachDragon_ Certainly Rome was more liberal, but you'll find evidence of gay or bisexual relationships in many other histories as well, including Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, etc. And even in American history, paying particular attention to military. When men were away from their wives or even just deprived of contact with the opposite sex, some would seek each other to have needs met. In Japanese history, it was common for warlords to find a brothel before a huge battle because they needed their minds clear. Interesting facts. 🙂
@@PeachDragon_ADHD and Autism are almost always diagnosed together.

@@W1ndowP4in scarier than the monotome "kyaa"

For me its wasn't suddenly bi
It was years of having to undo the homophobia that I'd been taught as a kid and come to the realization that guys can be hella cute
For me it was reverting years of misogyny, it made me more accepting of myself and the side effect made me slowly realise how gay I am
frfr but for me it was every single gender (and the genderless!)
Same
Me except I'm a girl and one day I went "wait why am I supposed to hate gay people again, because they're weird? i'm weird." At like twelve years old. And then proceeded to have a crush on my girl best friend for five years straight 😀
that's why I didn't get it, I was one of them 👍🏼👍🏼
Well you're at 69 likes and I'm not messing with that so 👍
But also yeah me too I had so much homophobia instilled in me from a young age that I would gaslight myself into believing I was straight because it was easier than facing the truth. It took a long time to get over that before I realized that I really like women a lot more than I like men (even though I do have an absolutely amazing bf rn)
You described exactly how I view sexuality - bisexuality being the default and the extremes being more rare but taught more in society.
I've said for many years now that everyone is at least a little gay. Whether they want to admit it or not.
I think a part of the problem with the guys saying they're hooking up with tons of guys but they're still straight is the lack of separation in sexual orientation and romantic orientation in mainstream society. You can be bisexual and heteroromantic.
The thing is, there have been a lot of times and places where sexuality and romantic orientation have been viewed as separate things, and in a lot of them, being bisexual but not biromantic was seen as perfectly normal and acceptable, either just for men or for everyone - or it was largely believed that the type of love one can experience for one's own sex and for the opposite sex are completely different and so it's fine to hook up with both as long as you're not cheating on a long term partner, or there was a concept of "you marry someone your opposite sex who you can tolerate in order to have children, and then sleep with your same sex friends you actually like behind their back. It's not really cheating because if it's gay it doesn't count the same as if it's straight."
I mean, if he says he's straight, then I believe him. You can hook up with people you're not attracted to. Plenty of people do it. You can enjoy sex with men without actually being attracted to them, just like it's possible to date people without experiencing romantic attraction. More power to him for being so confident in his sexuality that he feels comfortable hooking up with men while still identifying as straight.
It's not just about separating different types of orientation and attraction, you also gotta separate attraction and action.
@@LeyCarnifex I'm ace and I agree, but dude hooked up with 50+ guys, I would say he is at least a little bit bi, but he can use whatever label he feels more comfortable in.
I personally completely disagree with this notion. I have seen zero reason to even acknowledge the notion of romantic orientation as a thing that exists.
If you want to bang but not date someone of the same sex, you're not "heteroromantic," you're a homophobe.
@@seigeengine "I have seen zero reason to even acknowledge the notion of romantic orientation as a thing that exists." Then I recommend you look into Asexual and Aromantic communities and terminology. Separating romantic and sexual attraction is useful for people who only experience one or the other and is a perfectly valid attempt to explain why someone would want to have sex with the same sex but not want to be romantically involved.
I declared myself as bi in like 5th or 6th grade because my ace ass thought that "liking" both genders meant actually liking them and being their friend 😭
In my defense I was only told by a "friend" that straight means liking people of opposite sex, bi means you like both and homo means you like the same one. We also didn't have sexED, so this was literally the first time I've heard these words
This story was so funny and sweet, and also relatable 💜🖤🩶🤍
STOPP IM AROACE AND I DID THE SAME 😭😭
From what I remember, asexuals were often branded as bi back in the 70s? It was the logic of "Well being bi means you like both genders equally. So No-Attraction Nancy is Bi, since she doesn't like both genders equally."
It’s apparently quite common
Wow. Honestly this sounds like something I'd do if my parents hadn't told me what different words for sexualities meant early 😂
The "95% attracted to X" is what ive learned is called "heteroflexible" or "homoflexible" depending on your flavor, and was how i began my journey to coming out as Bi.
@@b14hb14h

I KNEW THERE WAS A NAME FOR IT

0:14 “what’s up roommates” what, no more what’s up my beardos and weirdos?
Us being roommates means TH-cam legally can't evict us. (Meaning unsubscribe us) It's an ongoing joke.
I know, I’ve been around for a few years, but still. It’s nostalgic
As a trans man who used to be out as a "lesbian woman" for years, I was so confused about my sexuality and gender, due to internalized trans- and homophobia. It took me getting hospitalized with severe depression to finally start acknowledging my feelings - including that I am a man who really likes other men.
I am also a HUGE Batman fan/nerd, so ofc I was extremely hyped when "The Batman" with Pattinson came out. Went to the movies to see it, and the entire time I just sat in my seat, flustered in a pansexual panic at how attractive Pattinson was as Batman and Zoë Kravitz was as Catwoman 😳
On of my friends had the exact opposite story. She had a lot of internalized homophobia from her parents, but growing up the topic of gender identity never came up so she never got any internalized transphobia. In college she realized that she liked women, and the way her upbringing manifested made her think that she must be trans as men are the ones attracted to women
After a couple years of soul searching and living with different sets of pronouns she eventually realized (these are her exact words on the matter), "Oh, I'm not trans, I'm just a dyke" 😂
Pfft, what's go great about Batman? A pillar of man, shrouded in the darkness clinging to his form like raindrops down his chiseled countenance, his fiery stare just as strong as the fist he deals upon his enemies or the hands he uses to pull a beautiful catburglar into his mighty arms?
Pfft, nothing hot about that...

Same but in reverse. I'm a dude, I like dudes most often, but women... Damn 👀
saaaame, every now and then I see a guy and I'm just like "... yes. Yes indeed, that is a nice looking man" and then can't get them off my mind.
Otherwise it's sapphism all the way down babyyyy
And then a while later she comes out and everything makes sense
@@DRMatt-zd4rh was just gonna ask the original poster how often that happens.
I feel bisexual girls get such sh*t for just being with men...I like girls way more but I fell for a bisexual man and was with him for 6 years. He didn't turn straight and neither did I. We just admired people together
People seem to treat it like Schrodinger's sexuality, like being bi just means the waveform hasn't collapsed yet and as soon as you date someone, that cements you as gay or straight
I had one of those. 'Twas *fantastic*!
"Look at that guy over there, he's so cute."
"Omg, you're so right!"
Absolute couple goals
Omg, I love my straight boyfriend, but I'm jealous 😢
(And I can talk with him about that like that, too, but it's more technical for men then. He's a bit of a fit nut, slightly
yeah definitely, I'm a bisexual girl who does have a preference for men, and I'm also hyperfeminine which for a lot of people makes them think im even more "straight" even though, as many sapphics know, hyperfeminine women are actually really often sapphic. a lot of the hyperfeminine alternative fashions attract a huge amount of sapphic individuals.
I remember the day I realized I was bi was extremely sudden. I was standing outside of a hotel in California in the rain, on tile, and a guy walked by on the sidewalk and it was right then and there where I realized that my romantic thoughts about men was in fact me actually being attracted to them and not just *weird shower thoughts*.
I then promptly fell flat on my ass when I went to step forwards.
I became suddenly bi by kissing my friend as a joke
Nice
Blushing skeleton emoji is so cute
I was that friend once. I just like kissing people and one girl came over as a dare from her boyfriend, and then approached me on her own 3 more times that night and the next day was incredibly confused. Her boyfriend was, on the other hand, very amused. I think he knew XD
I had a very similar experience and another with a short snuggle but in a purely asexual way. It was very alterous.
same tbh
I came out as bi a little while ago and I have known for three years, i have never been more happy. I am so proud of myself :3
I'm proud of you! ❤️

Congrats!
Congratulations!
I’M SO PROUD OF YOUUUUU!!!!! Coming out can be an incredibly personal and difficult thing, you absolutely should be proud of yourself!
I had a thought about that “if you were the opposite gender for a day” and very quickly realized that yes, I am trans.
Good to know!
Congratulations! 🎉 Being aware is the first step... but it's also the most scary step because now you're like of f*ck what do I do now... and being trans looks different for every trans person in terms of transitioning, partially transitioning, and even not transitioning at all!

@@areswalker5647as a kissless virgin biromantic ace, indeed neither we get any shit with none 😂💔
We are not bisexual/biromantic, we are bi-ourselves 😂😂😂😅😅😅
The most epic crossover since Avengers Endgame
People assume we’re exact opposites but actually I’ve heard a lot of ace people spend time in the bi community because they’re like “well I feel the same way about every gender and surely romantic and sexual attraction is something I experience so I must be bi”
I am ace people. Aroace to be exact. Hello~
It was really fun explaining to my pansexual therapist that I’ve been ace all this time when she thought I was bi. I just went “oh, everybody assumes that because they don’t listen to the rest of my sentence when I say I’m biromantic grey aroace. I stopped trying to assert the aroace part at some point since that doesn’t compute in people’s brains as easily which means sometimes I trick myself into thinking I’m just bisexual all over again until I remember I’m not :D”
Fun fact the bi community and the ace community were largely comingled in the early days of the lgbt community, and with same gender attracted aces they were called Bambi lesbian/gay/bi. Bambi I guess used to be a slur for the mlm community (specifically against young bi men) in the 50s but was reclaimed because of someone rediscovering the term “Bambi lesbian” and posting abt it on tumblr!
(Edit: Bambi in this context meaning a sexually fluid and sensitive person who prefers cuddles and kisses to sex)
I was a little 'suddenly bisexual' when I first saw the movie Hackers.
Have you seen Angelina Jolie in that role?
Hot damn.
21:56 “well yes but actually no” quick PSA. I find it surprising how often people in the LGBTQ+ community accidentally forget for a moment that physical sexual dimorphic attributes (eg whether or not someone has boobs) does not define their gender or pronouns. Eg, I could and would recreate that video, I look feminine and have no boobs (cause I’m AMAB), but I’m still a girl and still she/they. (This is why unless told by the person in question I will default to they/them pronouns since they’re non gender specific pronouns and most people are okay with them. The only people I’ve ever met who haven’t been okay with me using they/them before I know are just people with anti LGBTQ+ mental issues (or psychopaths, often both)

I came from an accepting home but it was here I learned it doesn't have to be a 50/50 split to be bisexual and that I fall into the bisexual camp even if my sexuality is 85 straight and 15 not. So thanks OT for making me finally realize my own sexuality
I love this for you ❤you are so valid
I'm so happy for you! I'm also a bisexual with a preference for the opposite sex, which makes me feel like I'm "too straight" sometimes. But we're here and we're just as valid as anyone else :)

We never ended up actually dating, we really were just friends, but she did play a key role in me feeling comfortable with who I am today, and I’ll always be grateful to her.
The conversation on sexuality/ romantic feeling etc from aro/ ace community helped my hubby realize his Sexual attraction is straight but he's demi-romatic 😅 it's so wonderful the conversations being had by those with open minds 😊
It occurred to me that I hadn't felt romantically attracted to anyone in seven years. I paused for a moment to reflect upon all the partners my siblings had had by my age and I began to question why I was so chronically disinterested in everybody. After doing some internet research, I found the label demiromantic and suddenly my entire life made sense.
At this point I don't know if OT is trying to tell us he's bi or if he's just still being a good ally
It really doesn’t matter
Straight men can hug men too
I am aware they can but some of the things he says and the fact he got flustered and blushy at one point in the video is just confusing to me
Either way he's getting a cookie 🍪 ❤ best roommate ever
unless he saus otherwise, he's just a straight guy who's jsut compellty comfortable with his identity qnd doesnt mind joking about it amd such
18:02 Bro I swear if my straight friend tells me “Being Pan is just being Bisexual” one more time I’m gonna flip out.
Edit: 8 months later, that friend is Pan now.
It's reallyyy incredibly useless to argue about labels. It's all made up, we made it all up y'all. "Gay" itself doesn't actually exist, it's just a term we use to describe a set of things because we wanted to make a term for it. Labels are completely made up boxes
@@AliceBunny05 Which is why bees are fish.
Straight doesn't exist either it's just a label we made.
@@AliceBunny05 Labels are incredibly important, because language is the tool we use to break down and understand the world.
Them being made up does not mean they're useless.
As for pansexuality, it exists, but acting on it is probably going to get you a prison sentence.
@@seigeenginethats not… what pansexuality is… unless it is *for you*? Because no, labels do not mean the same thing for everyone. Hell, words themselves evoke different thoughts, images, and emotions to different people
As a woman in a relationship with two men who are also in a relationship (closed triad!) ... throwing axes sounds like a dude date to me! Also hiking, picking out plants for the garden together during the Spring sales, going down to the river to look for driftwood and agate, etc. Granted, we DO live in a rural mountain town, so lots of nature stuff. Those are some of their dates together! They're very cute.
happy for you (:
whataboutgoingtothebeachanddiggingahole?
I realized I was bi this past week, I feel so comfy with myself now. The last few days have been very happy days :3 I feel so proud. It’s peeps like my friends and content creators like OT that helped me explore that aspect of myself.
ohh thats very nice :>
Congratulations!
I hope you are doing well and congrats
The "I just didn't know what bisexual meant" reminds me a lot of something that happened in my own life
When I was in middle school some older boys came up to me on the first day of class and asked me if I was a lesbian. I didn't know what that meant at the time, but somebody sitting nearby told me to tell them that I wasn't, so I did. I guess I sounded unsure or confused because they started laughing about it, so I doubted it myself and said I actually was, which just made them laugh harder.
Joke's on them though because it turned out I actually AM a lesbian. I just didn't even realize I was a girl at the time.
Oh my god that had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster
That was the best plot twist XD
“If attraction is all it takes, then we’re all bisexual”
Me being ace: if attraction is not all it takes then I’m aromantic.
I found out about OT after the purple hair, and I can't imagine that he once had completely brown hair. I've looked at the old videos with brown hair, and I still don't believe it.
Same here lmao ❤
Same
I've said it before and I'll say it again, OT is transition goals. Don't put yourself down OT
OT is certainly an 8/10
@@HauntakuTV
only an 8???????
Im 90% sure this man is the reason I figured out Im bi.
@@HauntakuTV AN 8???? WHAT ARE YOUR STANDARDS???
Oh gods, I just realized OT is my (realistic) transition goal!
He is close to my body shape/coloring, and has a similar aesthetic.
New Official Goal!
Was just thinking that
Hey there! For those interested, I'd like to recommend the webcomic Rain by Jocelyn Samara. It's a webcomic about a trans girl who goes to a Catholic high school trying to pass as a girl and makes a couple of queer friends there. There is a bit of outdated language in the beginning (it started in 2010) and there are a few triggering scenes, but overall, it's very wholesome and made me emotional. It's also not just for trans people, there are people of every shade of queer. Posting finished in 2022, so you can read the whole story now.
Also, if you like it, check out the author's second webcomic, My Impossible Soulmate. That one's much newer (started just a year ago) and it's still only about a hundred pages in. It's a more fantasy-oriented comic, but it's also LGBTQ+ positive and it ties into Rain (read them to find out how).
Yes! Rain is beautiful.
Rain helped me learn a lot about myself, and to accept and support people. It's how I've found out I'm pan funnily enough. It teached me that lesbian and gay people aren't the only ones that exist in the LGBTQIA+ community. For the longest time I didn't know about the rest. Because education about sexuality and gender identity, isn't someing they like here.
Rain was such a great read honestly. One thing specifically that I adore about Rain, is the little updates Jocelyn put on her chapters. THEY'RE ADORABLE. Thanks to your comment, I might go and reread Rain again soon. And while I'm at it as well, I'll read her new comics! I've been wondering about them for some time now.
Loving this! As a recently out bi, I need more! Also your laugh is super contagious.
OMG the boop at the end and the "get out of here" had me blushing :3
10:30 I can completely understand this because it weirdly enough reminds me of my asexuality. You can have sex or hookup with people and NOT be attracted to them. It's just sex. There doesn't have to be a sexual and/or romantic connection. So this straight guy sleeping with other guys because it's fun to him isn't him secretly being bi to me, it's just him having fun with no romantic/sexual feelings involved
I swear, I wish this was more normalized. I have a bit of difficulty recognizing and understanding my feelings for people and don't want to tell them that I'm like super into them when I... just don't know. But still enjoy some romantic or sexual action.
Is there like a thing where you're not really into relationships and being lovey dovy, but you like just being friends and sometimes fucking?
@@sus_sharkI feel like that could be either queerplatonic or demisexual, if that helps narrow your search. Demi mean you only feel attraction to close relationships, like your homies. Queerplatonic is kinda broader and really changes from person to person. Both are shades of ace
@@sus_sharkThat might be aromantic. You can be attracted to someone sexually and want to hook up, but you don't want to be all lovy dovy gf bf with them. If you're not sexually attracted, you'd be aromantic asexual. Asexual just means that you dont have any sexual attraction toward someone based on appearence or gender, but you can still feel love and have sex (but not always); you just don't look at someone and immediately go "omg I wanna fook that one!"
@@sus_shark To me that sounds like somewhere maybe on the aromantic spectrum and maybe just good old friends with benefits.
I am pansexual but I feel like Phantom of the opera is a universal experience in the bisexual community (for the most part. I absolutely love it)
The Phantom from the 2004 movie was my first gay crush 🫣
21:58 I honestly couldn't tell if they were a femboy, or a pre-top trans woman. Either way, they slaying it 💅💅

32:00 is PEAK Abed and Troy type situation
A real life changer for me was finding out that you can use three different things to describe yourself. You can say who you're sexually attracted to, romantically attracted to and aesthetically attracted to. There was a time when I was wondering if I was bisexual because I love women but when my sister and I watched the vampire diaries I was weirdly attracted to Ian Somerhalder. And I realized I would be interested in him until he'd drop his pants. Now I'm proud to say I'm a biaesthetic homoromantic homosexual
Nobody actually categorizes their aesthetic attraction, never mind lists it with the other two. It's just sort of irrelevant. It's also much less gender or sex based than the others.
This is me, in a way- My first ever non-hetero sexuality was bisexual. I realize now women just look prettier than men (sometimes, femboys beware!) and I'm just a gay trans man

What a coincidence
Wait, this fits me so well. I like girls 90% of the time, but those few guys, I'd be interested til the clothes came off and then not so much. Heck, some of 'em I would like to make out and cuddle with, just don’t want to go further than that - although whether I draw the line at "both of us fully clothed" "his shirt off, mine on" or "both of us topless" is highly dependent on the individual guy. And it's very rare a guy gets this response from me... and the odd thing is that I don't really have a type, so much as extremely occasionally I'll see a guy and go "That's definitely not a girl, but I still want a kiss and to cuddle and touch that slice of beefcake."
Mostly it's guys with a certain style of beard though, there's something about fuzzy kisses and I think I more like that than I actually want to kiss any of those guys because they look objectively attractive.

22:50 The journey of OT realizing Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are married and have 2 kids made me cackle a bit
Am I the only one who took the “some people pull girls, some pull boys, some pull both, I pull a door that says push” one as an Asexual callout post?
A bit late, but in regards to that post about bisexuality being the default at 13:00, I remember talking to my Latin teacher after school one day about how Christianity wildly changed the world’s views, and one of the things he said was that if you lived in the Roman Empire back before Christianity, you were kinda expected to be bi.
Two things, 1, I am bisexual and felt all of these on a spiritual level. 2, you sir are very fine and do not look weird in the slightest
Me: Yeah it's fine to experiment that doesn't mean you're bi it's just healthy sexual exploration
Also me: ONE OF US ONE OF US
The Shakespeare meme unlocked this freshman year memory when we were reading Romeo and Juliet. Nobody wanted to play Romeo so I raised my hand 😅 and well it was an accidental sapphic story. after that only girls were participating in the roles so we just had a sapphic rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
Been there before with someone who worried about their gender. My old GF was closeted trans, but worried constantly that she'd never be able to come out, or even if she did, she might not be able to transition. I told her straight up it wasn't the shape of her body I loved, but the shape of her soul.
I'm actually a bi Christian, and I've never been happier! God loves you no matter your sexuality or identity, and no one should tell you any different!❤
As a Christian Bi Ace myself, I confirm and agree. 🩷💜💙
Eyyyy fellow bi Christian
Yeah I think LGBTQ+/ally Christians are following the Bible most accurately. It says to love everybody, not to love everybody EXCEPT if they’re so and so.
you have no idea how much this comment means to me. so just thank you for leaving it
Here to add my Catholic lesbian voice to the mix
32:44 OT nooooo don’t get self conscious. I promise no one even noticed, not even after you mentioned it lol. We love you so much and you are such a joy and delight to watch. You look fine anyway, but this audience really watches you because of who you are and what you mean to us.
Every time OT does a bi vid, it’s always “buddy, roommate, my guy, do you have something you want to tell us?” But only when it’s not “buddy, roommate, my guy, do you have something you wanna tell yourself?”
BAHAHAHA! Not him questioning if Kitty Hawk is a real place when that's literally where Orville and Wilber Wright changed history as we know it forever; By flying the first recorded plane 120 feet on Dec 17, 1903 LMFAO I CAN'T-- LIKE YES, IT IS A ''SILLY QUESTION'' LOLOLOL
So, on The Into Deep Info, here is Something from my end: Asexuals, before we got our own name, used to go under bisexuals, because of the attraction modelle of being equally attracted to men or women, since Aces have 0 for men and 0 for women thus equal for both genders = bi. This thought procces is also one many aces will tell you that they went through. So in short Aces used to be called bi because of equal attraction to both genders.
a boyfriend date is where the boyfriends paint each other's nails while yelling at great british bakeoff because that fondant won't be done in time and the cake will overflow out of the pan.

26:01 i love that ot refers to his gym partner as his gym boyfriend
ngl OT has to be the best human that i've seen on youtube basically all of his videos are fundraisers, and all of his videos are insperational and are truely funny.
thank you OT for all of the videos you make and including everyone (exept hateful people)
16:01 this was kinda my point of no return. I remember searching up the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality like multiple times. I think that was a sign I wasn’t just a “very enthusiastic ally.”
I had a similar experience with being NB. I didn’t know about trans people in general until about 3 years ago, and only found out about nonbinary within the last 18 months. Since it was all new I kept looking it up and different identities under it.
You only get to the point of no return when you look at something and say “why does this exist, that’s a normal experience” and tell your friends about it. Then you find out that no, it’s very much not common.
fun fact, at 12:15 the hippo in the flag is from a game called battle cats, their original description used to say they're bisexual, in the new description it states "we don't know if it is a she or he"
Bonus fun fact: pygmy hippos still exist, wtf?

I get the reasoning behind the whole "bi is the default state" thing but, at the same time, as an aromantic asexual, I'm always just like "..?"
I feel you. Not in the same situation at all, but after I've studied in 5 schools and tried 3 universities besides orbiting various smaller groupings along life, I just have to say straights are the gigantic majority and there's no way around it.
I mean… it’s like the default state, except libido is at zero.
@@PokeMageTech And the attraction is at complete zero, instead of some degree towards more than one
@@PokeMageTech libido and sexual attraction are the same thing
@@dragonsaway9710sexual attraction is not the only kind of attraction
OT i was literally making a clip of you talking about your gym spotting experience to send to someone who feels the exact same way about it when you hit us with the “this is too personal no one will relate” lol
Being bisexual for a decade now, I figured out what kind of bi I am
It quite literally depends on which feels better. Sometimes I'm 200% gay, sometimes I'm both, sometimes I'm a leaning majority of 90% straight but there's always a piece of gay so deeply-seated in me. Sometimes I run into the thoughts of "Oh shit, where'd my gay go" and "Oh shit, where'd my straight go", but then I flip back to memories where I was *absolutely* one or the other and that just fixes things.
It's hard man :3
"Sometimes I run into the thoughts of "Oh shit, where'd my gay go" and "Oh shit, where'd my straight go"" I feel that. And so do a lot of people. It's apparently fairly common.
@@BloodrealmX No kiddin'?! Thank fuck someone at least feels that. I try and keep it balanced, but fuck some days I'm just full on gay, and other days I'm just a straight shot.
But there will always be a remnant of gay
