Would peer pressure make you bisexual?

[Asher]

Apparently in the midwest most girls claim to be bisexual, and have had at least one homosexual experience -- mostly because of peer pressure.

So I thought I'd make a poll about it to see just how widespread this is.

If you were under peer pressure, would you have a homosexual experience and claim to be bisexual?

Edit: Clarification for Jon: Your friends really really really really want you to be bisexual!

[Jon Miller]

I think you should be more eplicit about the pressure

For the record, I voted "No" because I don't give a rats ass about peer pressure...

[Provost Harrison]

Depends doesn't it. I suppose there are a lot of homosexuals despite the pressure throughout life to 'be straight'. I suppose it would be similar, but I don't quite know how

Yes Asher. I've heard it from time and time again about girls experimenting in college. It does work for girls because of our culture. Go to a strip club for proof. Men want women to be together in various sexual situations.

But the reverse doesn't hold true obviously. Our culture is against gay male sex acts.

[Asher]

Lots of girls experiment in college, and lots of guys experiment in college too.

Most girls are more public about it because, as you said, it's more acceptable. The guy stuff happens too, it's just that it's not spoken of.

I just think it's ridiculous that so many girls would have homosexual experiences just because their friends think it's cool to do it. Hell, I'm bisexual and I find that deeply disturbing.

I can't imagine a situation where I would claim to be bi, but I can for having a homosexual expereince

Two male friends of mine hooked up with two female bisexual skanks at a party about a year ago. The skanks insisted that my friends make out with one another or else they wouldn't get any action (the skanks were "free-spirited" or "hippie" skanks, and believed that all people were bisexual but that most of them repressed their urges, so they were trying to get my friends to "unloose the shackles that society had placed on their sexualities"), so my friends french-kissed. I can only speculate as to how far they would have gone to get laid had the skanks insisted that a single french-kiss was not sufficient making-out to gay-ify them.

So yes, in my experience somebody can be made bisexual through peer pressure, especially if they are desperate for skanktified action.

Oh god, I'm crying right now.

Very definitely Wutang, loinburger.

[Asher]

In what way does having two girls force you to do something with a guy to get with the girls make you bisexual??

A single homosexual experience doesn't make you bisexual. In fact, that's not what this poll is about.

This poll is about whether you would have sex with someone of the same sex because of peer pressure (not hormonal pressure by holding sex with a gorgeous woman over your head) and then claiming to be bisexual afterwards.

[loinburger]

Ah, well in that case, Banana.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

I always thought it would be really cool to be bisexual. I mean, who wouldn't want clothes sense, being slim and neat, along with the rep of being a swingin' dude... not playing favorites regarding who I sleep with, and all that...

The sex with men part is where I draw the line, though.

[Dis]

I think I see the problem.

lack of communication.

Jon is saying that women do say they are bisexual because men like that. And that is true. Most men do get turned on when women say they are bisexual. This is FACT.

but does that make them an actual bisexual? What exactly is a bisexual? Do they have to keep having sex with both for the rest of their life? Or do 1 or 2 experiences with a woman count?

The problem between the differing opinions is a matter of definition and miscommunication.

[Aeson]

No, unless they were attractive (to me) peers (of both genders). In which case, I would already be bi-sexual.

[Thrawn05]

I vote no.

Although no pear pressure to be a bi or gay in my school happened, there was a lot of "are you a racist" pear pressure. The type where if you didn't have sex with this ugly black girl you'll be labeled as a racist and get beatup constantly. And in my case, stabbed.
