Re: Married men seeking guys for homosexual experience

I agree, Merykk! People so often assume that "heterosexuality" and "homosexuality" are opposites when sexuality (and gender for that matter) is a spectrum. I too identify as bisexual, and am amazed how often people assume that a person can only be completely straight or completely gay.

And yes, there are many many reasons why men who are attracted to other men get married and then seek male companionship, whether it's the desire to get married in order to confirm to the heteronormative principles our society dictates, or whether it's because they are attracted to men and women and have fallen in love with a man while married. Or a thousand other reasons.

Thank you both for your posts, and I hope you have a great day.

Take care,

"Could it be that sexuality is not strictly defined to one extreme or the other?"

If you mean one extreme being straight and one being gay, then I would ask if you've heard of the Kinsey scale. I'm bisexual, and right in the middle of the Kinsey scale. Orientation is not a matter of two (or three) choices, it's a continuum.

As far as married men seeking out homosexual experiences, it could be that they're bisexual, or it could be that they always had an attraction to men but never pursued it because of the social backlash. Or perhaps they could never admit to themselves that they were gay. Who knows? Personally, I believe that as long as both spouses agree to the extramarital sexual encounter, it's fine.

Hello all! I am Chris, a 34 year old lesbian west of Chicago, IL. I have recently returned to college after a long, long time and in a tiny little city so far removed it's not even a suburb. :) Although I grew up in a community similar to this, let me tell you that progressive is NOT its middle name. It's enough of a shock to be back in college but to also be in such a small community where I am now an alien again is really mind blowing. I think I have forgotten, blissfully, the narrow minds you can come across sometimes in smaller communities. I'm so used to being in Chicago and not thinking twice about looking too dykey or wondering about what people think. It's so rare in the city to even come across people who give two hoots who or what I am. It has been a difficult transition back into a world where I'm an oddity and a bit of an outcast. Although, on the bright side, I'm not outed as often as you would think. Luckily looking "rural" is an awful lot like looking "dykey"!!! :)
At any rate, I'm happy to be part of our little pod and I hope we all continue to spread the word about the community and the pod to everyone we know. I'd love to see this community grow like crazy. I think it is a wonderful outlet for human expression. I look forward to talking with you all!

"Study: Bisexuality in women not just a phase"

http://barefootgirl42.gaia.com — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 02:01:09 GMT

Hello all,
I just came across this really interesting article in my university newspaper, and I had to share it with you. It's about how a 10 year study just concluded that bisexuality is NOT a phase. My presonal reaction to it was "Awesome! About damn time!" I especially thought it was interesting how it only focused on women, although there are defnitely male bisexuals in this world.

I decided to post this article as a fuel for discussion. So, what do you all think? From your experiences and opinions, are you excited or aggravated about this article? And do you agree that bisexuality is a permanent sexual orientation, or do you agree with the stereotypes that bisexuals are just "confused" or in a "transitional phase" to homosexuality? Let the discussion begin! :)

Take care,
Jenna

The entire text of the article can be found here and below.

Study: Bisexuality in women not just a phase

A recent study may debunk the myth that women who believe themselves to be bisexual are just "sexually confused" or in a "transitional phase" between heterosexuality and homosexuality.

The study began in 1995 with lead study author Lisa Diamond, associate professor of psychology and gender studies at the University of Utah, interviewing 89 young women between the ages of 18-25 on their sexual tendencies.

"I had noticed in previous studies that the research generally just focused on gay men or lesbian women and really ignored the idea of bisexuality," Diamond said.

Over the next 10 years, Diamond stayed in contact with all of these women with phone calls every two years.

Although many of the women would occasionally waiver on their sexual preference, very few were willing to describe themselves as anything else.

"For a long time there has been a stereotype that bisexuality in women is just a youthful phase that will burnout in time," Diamond said.

"My research has led me to believe that bisexuality is a legitimate lifestyle with distinct tendencies," Diamond added.

Not only were most of the women participating in the study still bisexual 10 years later, many of them were in monogamous relationships that had lasted multiple years.

"This study actually shows that in many cases, bisexual women are more likely to commit to a relationship over a gay man or a lesbian woman," Diamond said.

The study has been published in the January issue of Developmental Psychology, a journal of the American Psychological Association.

While the impact this study will have on the gender studies community is yet to be seen, Diamond is hoping that it will lead to more studies and a greater understanding of bisexuality.

"Bisexuality is not going away so we cannot keep dismissing it as a phase," Diamond said.

Diamond also believes that there will now be more justification to research a topic that was once considered pointless. "It tells us some new things," J. Michael Bailey, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, said.

"[Diamond] looked at the evidence related to the common assumption that bisexuality is a stepping stone between heterosexuality and homosexuality and she didn't find evidence to support that in her sample," Bailey added.

As for now, Diamond is just excited to have potentially discredited a long-standing myth.

"It will hopefully deal a fatal blow to the persistent stereotype that bisexuality 'doesn't really exist,' and that it is simply a phase that women pass through on their way to a lesbian identity," Diamond said.

Re: spirituality

http://ruaddragun.gaia.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 14:52:17 GMT

This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart,

my deep and personal conviction concerning institutions. Any group that would manipulate its charter (bylaws) to declare that a group of people fall in line. Is by that definition a cult practice. I am not saying they are a cult. Just that it is a cult practice. This also can be true of secular organizations.

I have studied this topic for over 20 some years. digging for fragments of information.

In leviticus "you shall not lay with a man as with a woman." this is first and foremost for the levitican priests. The words used in the original text. declare that male and female temple prostitution is not allowed. That it is an abomination. What is this saying? it is saying that when in the rituals of the tabernacle. the priests were not to take part of sex rituals with slaves. This was also a way for religion of that time period to raise money for their temples. hiring out their temple sex slaves to fulfill an obligation. the word abomination is only used in conjunction with ritual.

The average Jew (to this day) uses Deuteronomy (oneness with G-d) for spiritual direction. This doesn't mean they ignore the rest of the "books of moses." But that they use it for a compass. Deuteronomy almost repeats word for word the book of leviticus. but that particular levitican scripture is not there.

Noah's son had sex with him after he got drunk. This is true and was "sinful." It wasn't the act of Homosexuality that was his sin. It was the act of forcing himself upon his father's nakedness.

Jonathon and David had a relationship. This is common knowledge among Jewish people. But lost in Christian beliefs. It is also speculated that ruth and naomi had relations. some of the language that is used is only for marriage. There is further speculation that it is possible that Daniel and his Babylonian supervisor had something going on.

Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed for homosexual activities. It was because of their arrogance that they were destroyed. This information is repeated again and again in the Jewish Literature. But yet Certain religious institutions insist on putting these spiritual chains on LGBT.

Why am I saying all of this? because it is needed to be said. I am a minister called of G-d. I know this deep within my very spirit and soul. I am not so much fond of organized religion. Because it tends to invoke fear into believers. Creating unnecessary doctrines designed to control the masses. To date I have around 30k on the topic written for a book I am working on.

I myself have grown quite fond of Interfaith. I enjoy the fact that it is all inclusive. Allowing for individuals to get as deep (or not) as they wish to be. I have witnessed far to many religious teachers and organizations. Leave "our" people for dead and fodder. It is not the will of G-d.

Recently I posted a thread on my blog here at zaadz. the question was simple "what does the LGBT need spiritually." I don't think there has been a single response from zaadzters. sad really, because I was really looking for information. I wish to get my local interfaith church more involved with LGBT issues. I approached my senior minister about this a month ago. He was all for it and said he would support me in any way he could. Currently I am in thoughtful prayer and meditations. I do know this, I'm not interested in programming folk.

It is my sincere desire to help those who are fragmented and in need of love. But also to be supportive of those who are centered in themselves. It would be a sincere honor if you prayed or meditated with me on these issues.

One side note, my ministry isn't so much a "pulpit ministry." it is more of a music theme. I have many songs written. I am getting ready to record them soon. Some would be considered "dark" in nature. But that is merely because it is the expression of lamentations.

May you be all that you are

Hey Josh ~

We're raw vegans! Not legalistically strict about being raw vegan, but that label pretty much describes the category we fall into.

Thanks for sharing the Raw For 30 Days stuff!

Anyone raw here?

http://joshrawla.gaia.com — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 22:54:23 GMT

Has anyone seen the trailer for "Raw For 30 Days"? It's a documentary about six people, who normally eat fast food, who decide to go 100% raw for a month. It features interviews with doctors, experts, and raw foodists including Gabriel Cousens, David Wolfe, and Woody Harrelson.

I am new to raw foods and very interested in hearing from others who are raw foodists and people who are trying to change their lives for the better. Many people in my family have diabetes and I have changed my diet and gone raw to prevent myself from also getting diabetes.

(except a childlike kiss on the cheek when I was five with a 'girlfriend' hehee) >You still felt attraction to men and women, did you consider yourself Bi-sexual or gay? --------------------It's probably easiest to say I'm gay - now that I've explored both worlds....I've had 'long-term' relationships now (although not that long 6-12 months) with women...and a few very short term with men. I know deep down I'd rather have a 24/7 relationship, sexually, living-wise with a romantic male partner. I never explored any type of sexual relationship until I was 33 with a woman who also defined herself as a woman attracted to women but not ‘lesbian'. While I loved the relationship with another human being - the first ever - ‘my first ‘LOVE' ! (at 33!) … I never felt comfortable sexually…..and even now at age 46 I still don't really feel that comfortable…unable to express easily an attraction to a man (it still brings up issues that this is an ‘abusive' situation - even though I know intellectually that it is not). >I understand what your trying to say even though I have no real experience in this, have you sort out professional therapy for your thoughts? -----------------still working on that one ----it is very difficult for me to 'flirt' with anyone that I feel attracted to - because I still find any 'sexual' type of activity potentially 'abuse' so I find it hard at times to express my true romantic nature....in saying that I had a male (not gay) flatmate a few years ago - I was not sexually attracted to him - but, felt a love - romantic love for him - I was able to tell him that and it was fine - it didn't go anywhere however, but, at least I was able to voice my feelings of him without the 'abuse' stuff...and yes, still getting counselling - but, I think a lot of such 'work' now needs to be explored in an actual relationship - I think the work I've done in counselling has helped as much as pssible - to some degree... >when you say closeted exhibitionist you mean the artwork you wish to unvail. When I think of exhibitionist, I think of a person who exposes him/herself fully nude. This is not what you imply. --------------oh gosh no - I don't want to be en exhibitionist in showing myself nude! that would be traumatic- and much like the abuse in early years - it's a metaphor - for wanting to be able to openly EXHIBIT my feelings for someone and show them I am attracted, flirt, talk, cuddle, etc which seems 'should be' normal for most people....and not easy for me..... >It appears you need to deal with the abuse issues and talking with a professional therappist that you trust, journalize your experiences and maybe even sharing these with your therapist might help you. Are you taking any medication to help you deal with your emotional pain and suffering?

>Hi Lagniappe:

>I am truly sorry for what it must of been like growing up and being abused by your parents. It was not your fault, remember that.

What I mean by being ‘closeted' is that for most of my life I have lived with secrets having had been sexually abused by my parents as well as my confusion with my gender and sexuality... and also the issues of keeping secret because of stigma the mental health issues in my family and even the mental health issues affecting me over the past few years.

When my mental health issues began to interfere with my professional life I had to leave employment and truly step back (or ‘step up' to the new task!) and reassess the way I live my life.

>leaving employment because of this must of been unbelievable and incredibly torment.

I had an openly gay and flamboyant roommate at college/varsity back in the 80s who didn't think I was ‘gay' for whatever reason and being shy and ‘closeted' because of my sexual abuse/identity issues I never really talked with him about things....none would have known that I was a completely non-sexual person at all...

>you never had any sex with anyone, male or female and associate yourself with men because of the abuse from your father?

I never dated, never had any sexual encounters despite a yearning for relationships with women at the time and an attraction to men...(it never dawned on me that it was possible to have a loving relationship with a man - as a ‘couple'!). At varsity (VCU) I enrolled in a paper called "Human Sexuality" which was eye-opening to me. I remember writing a paper for an assignment that I considered myself ‘androgynous' (after learning about it)... yet, never full expressed my real confusion or issues - I was still ‘closeted'.

>You still felt attraction to men and women, did you consider yourself Bi-sexual or gay?

I never talked about any of my issues until I finally mentioned to my younger sister about 20 years ago - one of the only people in my family and friends that I trusted enough...she was also the first person I told years after the fact that I had been sexually abused as a child.

My two older sisters know about it now, but, do not seem to understand nor comprehend the impact it has had on my life.Although for the past 10 years I've openly been able to talk about my being ‘gay' (although I dislike being labeled as such)...it wasn't until 10-13 years ago that I ever breathed a word of that outwardly...that yes, finally I accept myself as ‘gay'....it was because I had finally had a loving relationship with another person.

>okay, good for you to finally find someone who you could have a relationship with, Kudos.

I never explored any type of sexual relationship until I was 33 with a woman who also defined herself as a woman attracted to women but not ‘lesbian'. While I loved the relationship with another human being - the first ever - ‘my first ‘LOVE' ! (at 33!) ... I never felt comfortable sexually.....and even now at age 46 I still don't really feel that comfortable...unable to express easily an attraction to a man (it still brings up issues that this is an ‘abusive' situation - even though I know intellectually that it is not).

>I understand what your trying to say even though I have no real experience in this, have you sort out professional therapy for your thoughts?

Despite being an artist and creative person, it wasn't until I was a patient in a public hospital where Art Therapy was used as an expressive way to help communicate feelings, etc....

I am at a crux where my desire to begin exploring the issues which I normally reserve for my personal therapy - I wish to begin to express publicly - that is where the idea again comes about wanting to be an ‘exhibitionist'. While I often have desires to paint images about the horrors, depth of sadness, etc as part of my ‘public' art - I stop and think, this isn't what I want people to see - it is an instinctive ‘keep ths in the closet' and don't let people see this!

I am now continuing to paint and have reconnected with an art therapy group....and I eventually might begin to post some of the art therapy work here as part of my journey....I have often wanted to do an MFA in art, but, again, have felt to inhibited to express these ‘secrets' which I know would be part of the body of work...

Perhaps through this pod, this site, and the ability to express here my thoughts publicly I will make a breakthrough...that is my hope...so that I am no longer a ‘closeted exhibitionist' but, an ‘open - expressionist'.

>when you say closeted exhibitionist you mean the artwork you wish to unvail. When I think of exhibitionist, I think of a person who exposes him/herself fully nude. This is not what you imply.

Hi I feel like I have been in your situation many times. I usually stop fighting it once I acknowledge it-if that makes any sense. That is not to say it does not scare the hell out of me when i feel it. I try to follow my teachers words of wisdom to treat these feelings as if they were children in need of attention. Instead of trying to reject them,find out what they need to transform,carrry them on to do that. It is hard to do all the time.

Other times i will decide that I can just feel how I feel for the day,nothing more,nothing less. I dont have to like it but there it is and the more I fight or try to ignore it it gets stronger. Some days I decide I will just be felling bad about my situations,life,losses,etc.

I dont know if any of this will help or even if I understood what you were saying. At any rate-I hope you fell better soon.

Hi George,

I am not sure what exactly you are asking for. I mean I know it is for advice and some fresh perspective on things, but on what specificaly?
If you are talking about conflicting emotions about your sexiality, then I think that this is an issue that everyone struggles with in our community. As far as being straight and emotional, it is ok t be emotional.

HI:

I am fairly new here and have be associated with the LGBT community through feminism and trans-gender workshops. Sometimes I don't know if I am feeling that I seem to associate more with the trans-gender community that I first believed. I am not sure sometimes because these issues of gender and sexual identity keep coming up for me, or maybe I am just jumping to conclusions and everything is fine, I am not sure now.

How does one know for sure if the behavior or thought process works for someone who is still dealing with the past feelings he may have in his life? I am married, separated, a feminist male, I consider myself straight but sometimes my emotions get intense on certain matters. What do people here suggest is the next step? Thank you.

Married men seeking guys for homosexual experience

http://sunseteagle.gaia.com — Wed, 30 May 2007 21:22:36 GMT

I would like to know if anyone has any idea behind this so-called phenomenon of married straight men seeking out other guys for a homosexual experience? Could it be that sexuality is not strictly defined to one extreme or the other? I am curious to what others have about a take on this. Thanks, Vernon.

I have recently found a LGBT center in Marin County,CA.
It is one of the oldest ones in this area. Recently a major non-profit funder pulled out since he didn't want to give money to a LGBT linked organization. So, if anyone is interested in helping these people out with either volunteering or tax deductible donations please do so. I am going to put in hours of volunteering myself.
Go to their site to find out more:
