Description
NOTE: POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY. Any harassment on me because I didn't write "bisexual men" on the stamp will not be tolerated and I will report any attacks and block you. I swear, some of the people here either are stupid and dropped out of third grade or they do this because they're assholes.I am disabling comments on a semi-permanent basis because these people have nothing better to do with their lives than to make a stamp that is supposed to be positive and be douchebags about it, and morons like that can't be reasoned with.
I got permission to make this derivative from this stamp: quitelife00.deviantart.com/art…
I put this stamp up because, well, as it turns out, all of my bisexual friends are women. This goes out to my favorite person in the world, Bridget, who is just an awesome woman.
I also met a couple of people here that I get along with that are also bisexual women.
I wanted to use the same font as the one I linked to but I have no idea what font it is!
if you're going to debate the stamp, please do so, but I prefer to see REAL studies done by doctors as opposed to people yelling down my throat "ZOMG! BISEKSUAL DOODZ DO EXIST!". That was not the intent of my stamp when I made it over a year ago, it was to support women who are bisexual. It's sad that a positive stamp can be turned ugly by people who feel the need to tear others down because of a stamp.
In theory, bisexual men "do exist", and that's not what the stamp says, but they are primarily attracted to one gender or the other. A true measure of bisexuality is whether you have an equal attraction to men and women or a near equal. What the New York Times said was that they were mostly attracted to men (Kinsey Score 5 to 6) or mostly attracted to women (Kinsey Score of 0 to 1)
Isn't it amazing that these people who debate the stamp can't fathom the possibility that the guys they know may be lying about their true sexual orientation? I mean heck, apparently you can lie about your height, weight, age, etc. but if someone says they're bisexual, holy cow, they must be telling the truth. Give me a break.
----------------------------------------------------
By the way, I used to link to a site that allowed you to view and fave the flip side of this, the "I support Bisexual Men" stamp. One problem: This lady and all three of her accounts have been BANNED. She was arguing with me over a list of studies that I had seen from 2005 and 2008, they are below. If you see it in the "more like this" column, rest assured, that it was made without my permission and was done because she was a troll who has been banned for over a year now, permanently.
Here are the studies I have.
1. New York Times: (Straight, Gay or Lying, 2005) www.nytimes.com/2005/07/05/hea…
2. WebMD: (Bisexual men not aroused by both genders, 2005)
www.webmd.com/sex-relationship…
3. Fox News: (Women's bisexuality a distinct orientation, not a phase, 2008)
www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,3…
4. USA Today (Women's bisexuality a distinct identity, NOT a phase, 2008)
usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/h…
5. MSNBC (Bisexuality in women may not be a phase, 2008):
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22809222
Also to support the truth of it all, here's an answer on it from a lesbian woman who basically said the same thing, complete with links from Scientific American and National Geographic:
au.answers.yahoo.com/question/…
-----------------------------------------------------
Now these arguments may be wrong (even though they were done by doctors and studied over 15 years), but this information can't be ignored and it should be taken into account as to part of the reason I made this stamp. (I have been told there is a study that says there ARE bisexual men, but all the bisexuals I know are women, but I'll link you to the study anyways...
www.nytimes.com/2011/08/23/hea… )
Besides that, have you ever heard the phrase "DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER?". Write into the New York Times or WEBMD if you want to argue.
I disabled comments for a few days because all I'm getting are people bitching as opposed to talking about the stamp. The "evidence" they have is "I know them" or how those elusive bisexual guys apparently do not like porn.
The point of this stamp was to honor women who are bisexual, not to get into an argument or get verbal abuse about guys. Since I have no true way of knowing one way or another, I just support my awesome women who are bisexual and proud of it

yes because studies done in 1995 - 2005 are completely accurate in 2014
wrong.
"(I have been told there is a study that says there ARE bisexual men, but all the bisexuals I know are women"
>there is a study that says bisexual men exist
are you implying that we're mythical beings that don't exist because you only know bisexual women? because it sure as hell seems like it.
Bisexual men exist whether you believe they do or not. Whether or not they have a preference for one gender over the other doesn't invalidate it at all, so don't try to invalidate it by pulling that ridiculous card.
"In theory, bisexual men "do exist", and that's not what the stamp says, but they are primarily attracted to one gender or the other. A true measure of bisexuality is whether you have an equal attraction to men and women or a near equal.

what the fuck is your fucking damage how dare you try to debate what constitutes bisexuality in men. I love how you're only saying that women can be bi (regardless of the fact that they may be more attracted to one gender than the other) but NOPE! MEN CAN'T BECAUSE I SAY SO!!!
thanks so much for invalidating my identity and other bisexual men's. Really shows what kind of person you are.

I didn't "debate" what constitutes bisexuality. Kinsey did in 1948. I'm going by the accepted definition. So why don't you take your rage somewhere productive and disappear?
The study went from 1979 through 2005. 26 years and was done by doctors with actual degrees. Now who am I going to believe? Some fag who lies and says he's bisexual so that his friends don't cry "Faggot" or doctors with medical degrees who have done studies over a quarter of a century and drew the conclusion which by the way, appears in psychological magazines. That's right, even the psychologists say men can't be bisexual. Enjoy.

***Also, to add on: I am not trying to say that everyone should ignore a scientific study and its results. It's perfectly acceptable to accept the results of the study. It is NOT okay, however, to ignore the possibility that a study's results can be debunked, or to ignore studies that have already debunked said theories. That's just plain ignorance.

"That's right, even the psychologists say men can't be bisexual. Enjoy."
funny you say that, because psychologists DO say that men can be bisexual! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21…
Fun fact: Scientific studies =/= fact. Time and time again studies are superseded by new research and studies. For example, it was once thought that creatures like fleas came into being via spontaneous generation. That study has been disproved time and time again, going through different phases of ideas, leading up to the theory of evolution, which is still being debated today.
Another example is it was once thought that homosexuality is a mental disorder. This has been superseded and amended newer versions of the DSM. Ideas that were accepted in the scientific community for the longest time are not infallible.
also, the studies you linked above to support the nonexistence of bisexual men are riddled with errors, be it bias or poor test structure.

hey, who are you? Wrongie Wrongerson? It's in the New York Times and WEBMD. 75% of all "bisexual" men are actually GAY, the other 25% are straight.
Even one of your own sites says that there may not truly be a thing as bisexual guys. Sorry.

Wow, pretty damning when even the gay community acknowledges that, these are people who actually supported NAMBLA for a few years because Harry Hay was part of the Stonewall Riots.

"hey, who are you? Wrongie Wrongerson? It's in the New York Times and WEBMD. 75% of all "bisexual" men are actually GAY, the other 25% are straight. "
Did you literally not read anything I just sent you, OR the study that I sent you? That study was conducted at a later date then the studies you linked above, disproving your links and this fact.
Just because something's been posted on New York Times or WEBMD does not mean it's correct. Those links are dated, and I'm sorry you refuse to listen to new recent studies and remain ignorant.
I mean, if that was the case, printings of slavery articles from the past would still mean slavery is legal today. It's not.

I just sent you a link from two years ago from YOUR OWN COMMUNITY that says it's wrong. Do you not read or are you just so buried in your wrongness that you don't get it?
Sorry, but it's true. Bisexuality in men is nonexistent. 75% of them turn out to be truly gay and 25% of them turn out to be truly straight.

Dude, I have a guy friend who is Bisexual in real life?? Its not just girls that are bisexual v o v

Um, i'm sorry did I come across rude? No need to curse here, I only stated whats said. Matter of fact, he has dated girls, and men in the past, therefore, not only has he stated being bisexual, but has shown pride in bisexuality, and supported it, along with supporting homosexuality, and heterosexuality.

He's a big fat liar. That's all you need to know.

Because if we call it science it's 100% true, no phony, bogus, outdated, malpracticed, uncontrolled science experiments can exist.
Also not like statistics can be skewed very easily.
I mean. It's also on the internet so. Even more true.
It's ridiculous to think that people do not use "science" and "statistics" to push their own agendas and create false images. This happens all the time. If you look into credible scientific journals, I'm sure you'll find much more evidence against this.
Overall, I am concerned about your susceptibility to propaganda and commercial advertisements.

For the 80 billionth time, read the article that I had posted. Generally speaking, bisexuality is a misnomer in men because they tend to prefer one gender over the other. In fact, 40% of men who are actually gay claim to be "bisexual" so they don't get associated with the stigmata of being called a faggot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
oh really? because I'm a bisexual man with no preference over either males or females, but that doesnt matter because I'm only bi so I won't be labelled as a faggot, according to your logic!
fuck off with this "generally speaking" bullshit. Generalizations are harmful especially if they're used to invalidate sexualities.

Just come out of the closet. Life will be much easier for you. I mean shit, with Michael Sam now being elevated to God status without even a second thought, what will happen to you? You're probably gay and in denial.

i was just saying i support both thats all

The main reason I wrote this was because my best friend and the woman I love is bisexual. A couple of years ago, the New York Times published a story in psychology today that showed that men who claimed to be bisexual actually preferred one gender over another -- they weren't actually *attracted* to both genders like women who say they are, well, are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its just i know men who are definatly bisexual and you can still like both genders but like one more than the other

Have you ever heard of the Kinsey Scale? It basically breaks down sexuality on a scale of 0 to 6, stating how attracted you are to the opposite gender or to the same gender.
In order to truly be bisexual, your score has to fall between 2 and 4, indicating a 33 to 67% attraction to each gender. In the case of this study, what they found was that all men fell between 0 and 1, or 5 and 6, indicating that for all intents and purposes, they were either heterosexual or homosexual.

is this based on one study or mutiple studys
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was based on research done between 1979 and 2005, so I'd hazard to guess it was multiple studies.

Read the description again.
This sounds weird because most people assume that bisexuality is anything other than 100% het or 100% homosexual. Generally speaking, men who claim to be bisexual tend to prefer one gender or the other. They're not really attracted to the gender they don't pick. They more experiment. One guy claimed he was bisexual, turned out he had a 90% preference for women and only 10% for men.
Anyways, long story short, men who claim to be bisexual are usually gay (75% of the time) or straight (25%) per the studies published in places like the Times.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! So like I'm bisexual but I like women more than men.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty close. Women can, theoretically, fall all over the map. They can be, say 80% attracted to women and 20% attracted to men, 50/50, 60/40 or whatever.
The study that came out showed that men who claimed to be bisexual tended to favor one gender over the other and by a very large margin (83% or higher towards one gender or the other). Also, 40% of gay men call themselves "bisexual" to avoid the stigmata associated with being labeled as a "faggot".
The studies basically said that true homosexuality and true heterosexuality is practically zero, so they give them a little bit of leeway through what is called the Kinsey Scale. If they're 17% or less attracted to one gender, for all intents and purposes, they're considered heterosexual or homosexual (meaning they prefer the other gender 83%+ of the time). I will say one notable 0 is me. I couldn't care if someone was the nicest man in the free world, I wouldn't be at all attracted to him.
Per this study, 17 to 33% is homo-flexible or hetero-flexible (67-83% to the other gender), and 33 to 67% attracted to both genders is considered the true measure of bisexuality. It's really an interesting read. That was the test they used to determine the relative absence of bisexual men. They tend to pick a gender and go with it the overwhelming majority of the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So if I was say 90% interested in girls and 10% interested in guys I'd be homo-flexible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It means you're basically a lesbian but you would experiment if need be, hence the term "flexible".
Here's a chart that sums it up for you:
beingloquacious.files.wordpres…
What happened with all the men on the study was they all fell between either 0 and 1 on the scale or 5 and 6.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that's rather interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't it? Anyways, what they found was that the men they tested all scored either between 0 and 1 or 5 and 6. Women who they tested appeared all over the map.
That's the long and short of it. Bisexuality in men is actually practically nil, because the men who are bisexual tend to prefer one gender over the other and only experiment with the opposite gender.

I like this stamp. And you can tell people who get all on your case over "What about bisexual men" that this stamp doesn't mean you don't support bisexual men. Also I feel from what I've seen personally that bisexual women have a harder time adjusting more than bisexual men. I've seen people accept bisexual men with open arms but then if a bisexual woman makes herself known "I'd never marry a bisexual girl," "It's just a phase," "Oh? Can you make out with your friend for me then?" So it's nice to see support for women especially sometimes.

Thank you for getting it!
There's a woman that I love with every fiber of my body. Her name is Bridget and she's 25 years old. (I am a significantly older 40 and that doesn't seem to bother her even in the slightest). I have known her since she was 17 and I just know my life would not be the same without her. She's such a great person, always makes me laugh and sometimes sets me straight.
