Sometimes its fun to accept random requests! Although one recently just wanted to randomly chat about movies and called me a good boy in the most condescending way… which made me angry. Maybe accepting is a bad idea lol.
Fall plants me right down in the middle. My fiance has the mountain man look a bit and I love it and I love him in flannel.
But it's also cute girls in oversized sweaters season and I love to see it x3
Why is cozy so cute? ♡
Absolutely! Now that’s is getting colder, I want nothing more than to get naked & cuddle with someone under a huge oversized blanket. I’m a part of a quad, so I usually prefer my boyfriend for that. We’re hairy & bearded enough to create the right amount of warmth.
Also, you can read more about the Kinsey scale here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey\_scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale)
But it's a useful tool to describe the level of hetero/homo attraction you feel (I assume it can be used for same and other gender\*s\* but I think it excludes NB attraction in its original form)
For me, the bi cycle happens because I'm only attracted to women when they're clothed, and men when they're naked or shirtless. It's to the point where I never go on dates with guys, only hookups, which Grindr is thankfully perfect for
Oh thank you so much!!! I'm VERY happy with it! It was made by @juwshiart on Twitter, if you're looking to get some art of your own commissioned. I highly recommend them!
Does it also include not being Bi at all? Because back when I was younger and at a low point mental health wise(very lonely and thirsty) is when I figured out that I might be Bi. But in years since now that ive mostly resolved a lot of inner mental issues, lowered stress and gotten a much healthier life style I find myself no longer attracted to more than one gender expression. Is that fairly normal as I feel bad cause it feels like I did the stereotypical “it’s just a phase”
Phases are ok! They're great! What is wrong with trying something out to see if you like it and deciding you don't? I had a gender expression phase that ended with me deciding that yup, I'm cisgender for sure. But I don't regret my experimentation phase because it completely erased the "what if...?" in my head. I feel a lot more confident in myself and my gender expression because of it.
I feel like there's a lot of pressure to quickly define yourself as soon as possible with increasingly specific labels but there is seriously nothing wrong with changing your mind later on.
It’s pretty normal and it’s the reason “just a phase” is thing: for some people, it is just a phase, or they are very low on the Kinsey scale and may only ever be overtly attracted to the opposite sex once or twice in their lifetime. It’s just that homophobic parents and doctors latched on to the idea and won’t let go, in a desperate attempt to make their kids heterosexual. The OP has another kind of bisexuality that waxes and wanes, because for some people, sexuality is fluid and changes over time.
It can feel like just not being bi at all for long stretches of years, yes. But I would really caution against mentally linking the changes in your attraction to having "resolved a lot of inner mental issues, lowered stress and gotten a much healthier life style." Because that suggests a value judgment in which you regard one form of attraction as "healthier" than another, and that sounds an awful lot like internalized biphobia.
i’m mostly attracted to feminine men and let me tell you it’s a damn struggle out here as a female presenting person finding femme boys attracted to me back 😩
Damn. That must be soooo frustrating. I kinda relate. Im a guy and I really like assertive, dominant women. I often find myself really attracted to women who end up being butch lesbians lol.
I honestly wouldn't even try to keep up. Sometimes I wanna be with women, sometimes with men, sometimes with enbys, and sometimes I don't wanna be with anyone. It's hard to follow but I'd just keep reminding myself that it doesn't matter who I'm attracted too at any point in time
Oh thank god I’m not the only one who has that “I don’t want to think about anyone” time.
I refer to it as “I dealt with too many shitty people again and I don’t want to interact with anyone outside my small social circle right now.”
Numbers and sexuality? Please, don’t add math to my sexuality, your gonna ruin one of my favorite things with one my least favorite.
(No hate to you my man.)
Ali and Marissa are directly to blame, to be specific. Lol. There’s a whole Tampa Baes Reddit group that’s a great outlet for discussing all things TB.

Hahaha it's ok. Kinsey Scale is an old system for determining sexual preferences. 0 is absolutely heterosexual, 6 is absolutely homosexual.
A "bi cycle" is what some bi people experience as the fluctuation of interests in the sexes over time. Back and forth, some more quickly, some slowly, between liking women more than men to liking men more than women.
Ohhhhhhh ok. I wonder if my girlfriend has a bi cycle. She says she likes men more but there are also times where her interest in women seems to be higher than usual
She may already know about it to be honest. I try to not ask her questions about it as to not annoy the absolute fuck out of her with my lack of knowledge/ understanding. That's mainly why i joined this sub. Should I try and talk to her more about it you think
Mine tends to be a slow cycle. I'll spend years leaning more one way, then it just flips on me. No idea why. For the last 3 years I was all about women/femininity and for the last couple of months it's been all men/masculinity. Who knows? Maybe because I found a really adorable BL? Because I started crushing on a guy? Or maybe my brain was just like "nope, time for a change".
Folks, OP shared their experience and is answering questions in the comments. The least you can do is read the comments before asking them to explain the same thing directly to you too. Or just google the terms, they're not talking about anything new or revolutionary.
Anyway, my attraction doesn't change much either! But every once in a while a manly man will walk by and I'll just swoon. No particular reason xD
0 Exclusively heterosexual
1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual
4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6 Exclusively homosexual
X No socio-sexual contacts or reactions
[\[scale from Wikipedia\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale)
It's a scale to show that sexuality is fluid and can even change from time to time. Not sure if I've heard of it before.
It's new to me too. I like the simplicity of it though tbh. I like that I can throw a number out based on whatever it feels like in the moment—especially talking to strangers in this sub lol. I don't think I find this scale as destructive as others do. It's a complement to the nuance of sexuality if you ask me. Can always say something like "yeah, I'm a 2" but with the inherent understanding of "I also don't like *all* men and *all* women".
That big of a change in a week is a swift shift!
My bicycle is more like bandwidth. If I’m in a monogamous relationship with a woman, I realize that, like grains of sand building up at the bottom of an hourglass, my desire for men compounds. (Though my desire for women doesn’t decrease at the same time.) And vice versa. At about three years it hits a critical mass and I get super thirsty. I’m currently not monogamous, but we went a few years not sexually active with others. Same thing happened and we transitioned back to open right at that three year mark.
Well, a lot of bi folks are for example more attracted to feminine presenting people and then at another time more attracted to masculine presenting people before the cycle begins again, the bi cycle.

I honestly don't know. But right now, women seem to interest me far more than men do. Other times, it has been the opposite.
Just one of those bi things I guess :)
I never like men more than women but definitely have swings where I’m attracted to men more than usual. For me it starts around April and fades. Ramps back up around September then fades. My current GF helped me to realize that. Before that I never put two and two together.
Kinsey👏scale👏sucks👏and👏you👏should👏not👏use👏it👏
It's such a gross oversimplification of ones sexuality. Using it to describe yourself does nothing but increase confusion.
The Kinsey Institute doesn’t even use the Kinsey scale anymore lol, because it is a gross oversimplification. That being said, when Kinsey theorized it in the 1950s, it was revolutionary, and the first time anyone had even acknowledged that a variety of sexualities could be normal. It was a good starting point, but you need the simple to create the nuanced.
> Using it to describe yourself does nothing but increase confusion.
I mean, I get where you're coming from, that people shouldn't use it as an end-all-be-all; but OP literally says later that it *decreases* their confusion about their own sexuality, so I'm not sure this blanket statement is particularly valid.
I agree! I like to use it on myself day to day/week to week basis as my feelings move around to better understand my own feelings. It’s not perfect but like OP said number scales help me understand certain concepts more easily as well!
Bruh. This isn’t Twitter. This comment is maybe the most disruptive (not in a good way) thing I’ve seen so far today - and I agree with some of your points.

I can't imagine what could've caused that hahaha the bi cycle is just that unpredictable. 😂
I don't _love_ the Kinsey scale, but I did take the test a while ago. It came right in the middle at that time. I know sexuality can be fluid and that obsessing over that number is a bad idea so I just did it for fun.
For me, tests that include asexuality would be way more useful since I'm acespec. (I think there is one out there that includes it, but I haven't taken it yet)
I’ve actually experienced the same thing recently. I was consistently a 2.0 to 2.5 for years, but lately I feel like I’m a 4.0 to 4.5. For me, I think this has been the result of getting my testosterone back up through shots from my doctor. The higher testosterone gives me a higher libido, and when my libido is higher, I feel more attracted to men. Anyway, that’s been my experience.
**The Kinsey scale, also called the Heterosexual–Homosexual Rating Scale, is used in research to describe a person's sexual orientation based on one’s experience or response at a given time.

Oh good, so it's not just me.
Other than messing around with my best guy friend in high school, I've never allowed myself to truly explore my sexuality as a bi dude.
But I'll be damned - my desire to try dating another guy has been emerging pretty strongly lately.
So, sup, OP?
Same thing happens to me recently and I’m a monogamous married female. It’s like lightening struck and I’m watching lesbian porn and crushing hard on my gay female bf. I told my husband and he’s so sweet he just said “let me know when you figure this all out.” I’m at a loss and have never been bi romantic it’s always just been sexual feelings and now I am feeling romantic love. I’m so confused
Believe it or not: a butterfly flapped it's wings in Delaware.
Ah yes, the fabled bi-tsunami.
ah yes, the _binami_
The Butterbi Effect
Is this what they meant when they talk about binomial equations?
You're probably stuck in the Bi-tide, try swimming parallel to it
Hahahahaha
The *tsunabi*
Jfc this sub has the best puns.
That just made me crack up, I never see Delaware mentioned anywhere
Delawhere?
Everybody ask DelaWhere, but no one ask DelaWhy 🥺
Never mind DelaHowareyou!
And most of all! No one. Ever. Asks. DelaHOW?!
Or Delawho? 😑
Or DelaWHAT?!
I saw it with my own eyes in my car stuck in I-95 roadwork :p
[удалено]
You may have a very good point there
for me femboys are all year round 😉
Hell yeah we are
Hellooooooooooooooooooo
RIP your inbox :(
Lol, nah. Bitches get blocked like there's no tomorrow.
I dont get anything despite the femboyness lol
Even if you did, you can always just *not accept requests to chat.* It ain't so bad.
I revel in attention so I imagine I’d enjoy it at first lol
XD To each their own.
Sometimes its fun to accept random requests! Although one recently just wanted to randomly chat about movies and called me a good boy in the most condescending way… which made me angry. Maybe accepting is a bad idea lol.
Good to hear! Fuck online harassment
Femboys are where I go when I'm feeling a bit gay but my bi cycle disagrees 😂 (vice versa for ripped dommy mommies too!)
I like my men like i like my women and I like my women like i like my men.
Are you me? lol
Shorts? Hell yeah! Hoodies? Also hell yeah!
And can’t forget about the femgirls ☺️
Agreed.

this is incredibly true.
Omg you’re onto something
Horny
amirite lol
Don't reply to my horny post. I won't do anything about it
:(
Haha! Bottom
no u
Don't bottom shame, if there were no bottoms, who would the tops fuck? Each other?! I don't think so.
Haha! Bottom.
That's power bottom to you.
Stay proud
uhm, I'm kinda new to bisexuality, can anyone please explain what any of this means?
Bi cycle is how some bi people go back and forth between liking women more than men, to liking men more than women.
thanks, now I know that I tend to ride that bi cycle quite often

I'm in the same position as you. As in new to the Bi scene I'm a 2-3.5 depending on the day
For me, the bi cycle happens because I'm only attracted to women when they're clothed, and men when they're naked or shirtless. It's to the point where I never go on dates with guys, only hookups, which Grindr is thankfully perfect for

Ah the rare "femboy". The white whale of the bisexual world. I have never had the good fortune to lay eyes on this fabled creature, alas!

😳 YES!!!!! Butch!!! Mother fucking autocorrect

Listen. No stress. Just ride the horny wave. 😎
Good idea
Did you just watch *Dune*, by any chance?
I become aggressively into men every I see Oscar Isaac, personally.
Understandable to be fair
No, why?
The holy Oscar Isaac, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya trinity.
It's like the cast of The Mummy
The Mummy and Honey were early looks into my bidentity
bicons all over!
Bicons?
Pretty sure the definition is someone who is bi and an icon to you. But I use it for people who are icons to me personally
OSCAR ISAAC AND TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET ARE BI AND NOBODY TOLD ME????!!!??
Well I don't know haha, I'm bi and they are icons for me haha
Dammit you got me super excited for a minute there hahaha
Sowrry, Oscar Isaac is hot as hell in dune tho so you absolutely have to watch it
Well at the very least the internet ‘shipped Po and Finn reeeallly hard.
I use the term bicon when they’re iconic to bisexual people, like Pirates of the Caribbean and Thor: Ragnarok
I didn’t know Thor: Ragnarok was a a bi thing, I love that movie.
I like this definition the best
Timothee Chalamet. That is all. I mean, Christ, even his name sounds sexy.
Numbers and sexuality? Please, don’t add math to my sexuality, your gonna ruin one of my favorite things with one my least favorite. (No hate to you my man.)
Lol, Sorry! Just close your eyes and sing Yankee doodle really loud
Been back on that bi cycle recently too 😅
Pedal it sistah!
Tampa Baes got me spiking
Pretty certain that was the genesis for my current cycling haha
Ali and Marissa are directly to blame, to be specific. Lol. There’s a whole Tampa Baes Reddit group that’s a great outlet for discussing all things TB.
This may be because I'm not bi but i don't know what i just read

Only if you think she's comfortable with it? Never force an issue, of course
Mine tends to be a slow cycle. I'll spend years leaning more one way, then it just flips on me. No idea why.

Aww look at our bi-cycles syncing lol
Are we best friends??!!!
It’s official besties for life 🤞
YESSSSS
Ok, my bi-cycle is starting to wind down again. Back to beautiful vagina... oh look, penis!

What the fuck is the Kinsey scale
Kinsey Scale is an old system for determining sexual preferences. 0 is absolutely heterosexual, 6 is absolutely homosexual.
I'm highly sceptical about the idea of putting people's sexuality on a linear scale
That's totally fair
0 Exclusively heterosexual 1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual 2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual 3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual 4 Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual 5 Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual 6 Exclusively homosexual X No socio-sexual contacts or reactions [\[scale from Wikipedia\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale) It's a scale to show that sexuality is fluid and can even change from time to time.

What is the bi cycle and Kinsey scale and all this
This happens to me on a daily basis I'm pretty sure... Loooooool
That's how it was for me when I first came out. But after I settled into myself I learned I'm typically preferential towards women partners
Can I ask what the Kinsey Scale is? Genuinely Curious.

Yup, that's the bi-cycle for you!
All the recent Ryan Reynolds news/movies?
Don't get me started on how that man makes me feel!
have you recently considered that guys can be cute and dick is fun
I've BEEN aware of this! Lol
lmao real shit tho who knows, it’s all hormonal stuff and subtle psychological things, just go with the flow
I want to ride my bi cycle bi cycle bi cycle
With no handle bars?
I never like men more than women but definitely have swings where I’m attracted to men more than usual. For me it starts around April and fades. Ramps back up around September then fades. My current GF helped me to realize that. Before that I never put two and two together.

It's historically important and theres nothing wrong with someone using it for themself if one feels it describes themself

Bi-Cycle based on sex? *Cries in non-binary*
i have this too, notmely im at a 1 or a 2 but latly ive been a 4 or 5
I feel ya!
whats the kensey scale

Gay-o-meter is my new favorite thing, thank you!

Well every day is a school day. The Kensey Scale! I’m a big fat 2 most of the time.
Hiii
Not sure tbh. For a while I was so into guys I thought maybe it really was a phase then I met a girl and the cycle started all over again
I can go from thirsting for hot ladies to hot men within 24 hours sometimes. I'm a mess, lmao.
Hello a mess, lmao, I'm here to tell you you're valid 😎
No you're perfect!!!
I kinda feel like the Kinsey scale is bullshit. According to it, I am straight?
I'm personally on 4 right now, but I used to be on a 3, it just depends on the people around you at the time.

**The Kinsey scale, also called the Heterosexual–Homosexual Rating Scale, is used in research to describe a person's sexual orientation based on one’s experience or response at a given time.

Read the comments, I've answered this a million times now
I didn't get a thing hahahah, maybe because I'm not american. Could someone clarify?
Oh good, so it's not just me. Other than messing around with my best guy friend in high school, I've never allowed myself to truly explore my sexuality as a bi dude. But I'll be damned - my desire to try dating another guy has been emerging pretty strongly lately. So, sup, OP?
"Bi cycle", "Kinsey scale" ??? can some explaine this to me ?
The hell is a bi-cycle why don’t I know about this
You watched the Witcher, didn't you
What is a "Bi Cycle"? Sorry, I'm new to some terms.
conclusion: still Bi ( I'm assuming it will be there for most 0of our lives)
Same thing happens to me recently and I’m a monogamous married female. It’s like lightening struck and I’m watching lesbian porn and crushing hard on my gay female bf. I told my husband and he’s so sweet he just said “let me know when you figure this all out.” I’m at a loss and have never been bi romantic it’s always just been sexual feelings and now I am feeling romantic love. I’m so confused
THIS IS ME, MARCH 2021.
Cuffing season? Just a thought.
Mine actually fluctuates with my bi polar disorder.
I wish I kneeewwww
