"We used to be like those who you speak of . Infact it was not until we had been swinging for a couple of years that we realised we were missing out on so much more fun by avoiding bi guys and TVs / CDs and Transgender people . Over the past few months we have well and truly embraced all of the above , and our journey has taken us to places we didn't think existed ! The liberated feeling we have now , the euphoria of a new experience , and the lack of judgement we place on anyone is like the icing on the cake . So not all of us are like the op paints us . There are plenty like us who are happy with who we are , and just as importantly , happy with who you are . " What a refreshing attitude! It's very fashionable for the ladies of FAB to be 'bi', but stick that, or CD/TV on a male profile and you may as well put 'leper' | |||

"It's amazing how many 'straight ' guys contact us and then go onto say they are Bi, but don't advertise the fact as they don't want to limit their replies/meets. We would not play with a guy who cannot be honest, as trust is very important to us when playing, though you can never be sure who has done what with whom. As said earlier it is all about preferences. " Same here | |||

That and the fact that a lot of straight men aren't comfortable with it. Yes there are risks in however you play but it's a fact, statistically bi sexual men are in a higher risk category. That said, I think it's too broad a statement. For instance someone who has embraced their bi side all their life may be higher risk than say a male who enjoys it during swinging with his partner. When all said and done I'm a big believer in doing what feels right at the time, take responsibility for your own sexual health and then you know where you stand. But to the op - some will use the above as a way of being responsible and managing their own risk. Which you can't criticise. D | |||

"Apart from the thought and sight of 2 guys together which is a turn off for us there is the increased risk of AIDS " If that's one of your fears then I think you need to look closely at what your doing here as well as statistics. Straight people contract Aids too and your at as much risk of contracting an STD or STI as a bisexual man, in fact as you are swingers your actually in a higher category of catching something even without choosing a bisexual man to play with! | |||

"Why don't couples like to play with bisexual men? We understand single men, but we don't understand the complication with bisexual men. Even if that's not an option within the experience. The conversation stops as soon as some learns of his sexuality. We are just curious?" Dunno Way around it that some bisexual guys have two profiles; one as heterosexual, the other as bisexual Same guy and everything but now appeals to everyone; well, as much as he would have been appealing anyway minus sexuality | |||

"Why can't people play how they want without asking others why they'd exclude them? Tolerance only seems to apply for some where their needs are concerned, yet differing views are seen as "phobic". The only porn I enjoy is gay. Man on man action does it for me, the butcher the better. When playing however I don't meet bi men. As I don't always have penetrative sex with meets "infection" isn't the issue. I like the blush of humiliation and the resistance of straight men when you use a dildo etc on them. That's why I don't meet black men either as I can't see the blush. I know some bi men are only orally bi and some black men are light skinned: my experiences have honed what I like for fantasy sexual playmates. My other half doesn't have a submissive bone in his body and has "no entry" in neon lights above his arsehole. Sexual preferences don't necessarily mean "leper" if you're excluded. The beauty of Fab is there's someone for everyone. I choose to concentrate on those seeking to meet me rather than those who don't!" | |||

"If the label bothers you too much just write a profile that explains your level of bi; Straight to me means a you don't find same sex attractive. Bi can range from you are attracted to both sexes equally down to you're attracted to cocks but very little else about a guy. Bi-curious for more than a couple months means "I forgot to change it after I had my first gay experience"" No it doesn't. I'm still bi-curious after eleven months because after trying it twice, I still don't know if it's my thing or not. I had a very good experience and a very bad one. So the jury's still out. | |||

Most new cases appear because bisexual men are more likely to get tested then their straight counterparts. And that is a sad fact. (and not just because I used the word fact either) | |||

"Have you ever noticed how these discussions are always geared towards bi men..... As if bi women can't catch anything...... When was the last time you had thrush? Just saying! STI from mild annoyance to terminal should be treated with the same respect as a mild case of one thing could be covering something else. Just my 2pence worth." Just to point out that thrush isn't actually an STI... it can be sexually transmitted if you have sexual contact before the symptoms clear up but it ISN'T an STI. It's actually caused by factors such as antibiotics, diabetes & pregnancy, and people who have never even had sex can get the infection too. Lumping thrush together with actual STIs like AIDs, gonorrhea, chlamydia and so on is ridiculous. | |||

Bi-women are not at any greater risk than heterosexual women; infact, at slightly lower risk as we divide our time between men and women and therefore meet less men than a similar heterosexual woman. Lesbian are at very low risk Thrush is hardly life-threatening With men, it is the reverse | |||

" Thrush is included in sexually transmitted infections due to the increased fauna that his not from the host body. If left unchecked can get very nasty. Though antibiotics are one cause of the natural good bacteria depletion. Sex has been the reason for increasing number among student factions and older. To not take it seriously is stupid. | |||

It's not just people not wanting to talk I can understand that if we're not your type but we constantly have couples that arrange to meet and back out at the last minute. It seems when one of you is a bi TV then it's ok to change your mind last minute and not let us know. I often wonder if these couples would be so rude if we were a mf couple x | |||

They say they won't put on their profile as it turns couples off. You can choose no bi men but on here most people lie So what are you saying? Just fuck everybody?" No one is saying just fuck everybody . Just go with those you find attractive , and that there is a connection with . Irrespective of whether they are bi or not . There truly is no such thing as safe sex , and while you believe that the risk of hiv is greater amongst the bi men out there - from our experience of those we have met from fab , they are way more careful than the non swingers . This can be a minefield , and the more stigmas you have , the less fun you will have . Of course you know what floats your boat. And you may not find tv/ts attractive , that's cool . But to think you will never play with an orally bi guy is naive . And he is at no more risk than any straight woman on here . | |||

"Not at all, you have a preference that's your choice but it doesn't make it any less risky because you choose not to meet bi guys as most will lie to meet you " Maybe but at least you get to meet some straight guys and in your mind they are all straight. At least you admit that meeting bi guys is more risky than meeting straight ones though | |||

"Apart from the thought and sight of 2 guys together which is a turn off for us there is the increased risk of AIDS " I think you'll find the risk of catching AIDS is remarkably similar with bi men as with swingers in general. Most swingers who've played the scene for a while will play with a bi guy or a lady who's been with one or a guy who's played with a lady who's been with one or.....well you get my point I hope? Each person you play with brings their history with them. I play with guys, surprise! I get tested two weeks after a play for swabs and pee. Three monthly for bloods. I'm as safe as the next. | |||

"Makes me laugh, people who discriminate against bi men and meet "straight" guys quite happily not realizing they have been duped. Personal preferences are just fine for whatever reason but not meeting a guy because he isnt lying to you ?? There is even a single woman on here who says bi guys are not as good at sex as straight guys ?? " What makes me laugh is people who think a good reason to meet someone is because he isnt lying to you | |||

You should go to a gay sauna , lots of so called straight guys & marrid guys in there , all doing things that they really should not be doing . They then go back to there wife's or portray themselves on here that they are straight . What's more risky ? A bi guy that takes his sexual health seriously or one of these so called straight guys that go to a gay sauna and don't give a toss where they stick there willy ! I know where we would be | |||

But as I said earlier 50% of new cases of HIV were reported to be gay or bisexual men, unfortunately there were no numbers for swingers, so make of that what you will, as other people will | |||

"Apart from the thought and sight of 2 guys together which is a turn off for us there is the increased risk of AIDS Well there's one if the most uneducated and misinformed posts of the day... " Oh I don't know, I think you'll find these threads always show an equal amount of misinformation and ignorance from both sides. Eventually someone quotes one statistic out of context, and ignores the ones that don't fit their particular bias. I'd hate to burst anyone's bubble, but if you want to know one reason why straight couples have a phobia against bi-guys, you should hear what the sexual health nurses say about you behind your back (And possibly read all the information on the Terrance Higgins Trust website). Are swingers more at risk? The studies show not. Swingers are generally more careful and responsible about their sexual health. I suspect that includes many of the honest bi-guys on here. Is the phrase "I get tested regularly, so I'm okay" slightly reminiscent of horses, stable-doors and bolts? Perhaps. Will men always lie about their sexuality? Maybe, but as the implications of 'Conditional consent' (as defined in the Sexual Offences Act) become more widely recognised and accepted, hopefully people will be more honest rather than risk the consequences. Nowadays very few people would post on this forum "she said she didn't want sex but how I laughed when I heard how they'd held her down and forced her" Educate yourselves, and worry less about the people others wish to play with; worry only about the ones who wish to play with you and with whom you wish to play. Mr ddc Ps, just thought I'd put it out there, short, bald, ginger men are statistically less likely to have std's. Fact. | |||

"P.s if the gay/bi community make up 50% if infections then doesn't that mean the other 50% of infections are the straight community?" I think the argument being put forward is that the number (50%) is quite large given that gay/bi community make up a small percentage of the population. | |||

"Apart from the thought and sight of 2 guys together which is a turn off for us there is the increased risk of AIDS turn off i understand but aids ?? mmm think the risk for that is everywhere not just bi men also have you ever given thought that you most probly have played with a bi guy already as most bi guys say the are str8 ?? if its a fear of aids then guess your in the wrong sport I agree with the poster, I think HIV will be one of the main reasons why. That and the fact that a lot of straight men aren't comfortable with it. Yes there are risks in however you play but it's a fact, statistically bi sexual men are in a higher risk category. That said, I think it's too broad a statement. For instance someone who has embraced their bi side all their life may be higher risk than say a male who enjoys it during swinging with his partner. When all said and done I'm a big believer in doing what feels right at the time, take responsibility for your own sexual health and then you know where you stand. But to the op - some will use the above as a way of being responsible and managing their own risk. Which you can't criticise. DThink this statistic from the Terence Higgins Trust may interest you.x Around 43,500 gay and bisexual men and around 59,000 heterosexuals were estimated to be living with HIV in the UK by the end of 2013. Shame it does not break the Heterosexual data down by sex. " Dont see how that would be revelant- just proves data is guesswork, surely. | |||

"So could anyone please explain why 50% of diagnosed cases of HIV are of bisexual or gay men? And the old chestnut of because they get tested more regularly is nonsense when HIV/AIDS has been around for more than 30 years now. These figures will never improve while people are in denial" Figures are guess work, like all statistics, they do not reflect reality. Look at claims on things such as skin cream- 89% of 670 people see a 90% reduction in spots- if you lead your life based on statistics, I can see a whole bundle of trouble for you, lol. Just use common sense- as recommended by nature. .x | |||

"P.s if the gay/bi community make up 50% if infections then doesn't that mean the other 50% of infections are the straight community? I think the argument being put forward is that the number (50%) is quite large given that gay/bi community make up a small percentage of the population." It all depends on what percentage of people get tested though. If 1,000,000 gay/ bi men get tested and only 50 straight men, then that means 100% of the straight men tested are infected. | |||

"I'm comfortably bi, but wouldn't dream of forcing myself on a straight guy anymore than I would force a woman to do anything she didn't want to either. I also understand that there is a potentially higher risk of STDs, but there's also a higher risk of getting hit by lightening if I go outside my front door, than if I stay in. But where's the fun in that? " With aids though a condom works as good protection. Can't see a condom protecting you from lightning lol xx | |||

"For goodness sake. So a lot of straight people have been living with the conditon with no symptons for 30 years?? Its nothing to do with the number who get tested. And these are official figures, not some made up shampoo survey And do people here really think that 50% of the population are gay or bisexual men??? Maybe 10% of the population, if that, make up 50% of the cases! As I said so long as people ignore this or try to deny it things will never improve Good night" It all depends on what percentage of people get tested though. If 1,000,000 gay/ bi men get tested and only 50 straight men, then that means 100% of the straight men tested are infected. 110% of all statistics are utter bollocks. | |||

If you protect yourself your pretty safe regardless of gender. Do you check any females you meets sexual history to see if they have ever slept with a bi guy? Your just as at risk as the rest of us xx | |||

" Take it maths isn't your strong point. So basically what you are saying is don't get tested and you won't have the disease. Brilliant. Straight people can carry on their lives with no symptoms or illmess and be just fine? Don't know what all the fuss is about then eh | |||

" Just to point out that thrush isn't actually an STI... it can be sexually transmitted if you have sexual contact before the symptoms clear up but it ISN'T an STI. It's actually caused by factors such as antibiotics, diabetes & pregnancy, and people who have never even had sex can get the infection too. Lumping thrush together with actual STIs like AIDs, gonorrhea, chlamydia and so on is ridiculous. " You do realise you don't have to have sex to catch hiv/aids don't you? | |||

I'm saying the statistics are only about the people that get tested. There could be millions of straight people out there that don't know they are infected. Hence why the statistics are meaningless. They will never give a true picture. | |||

"Statistics don't give you aids people do" And rabbits (Which is why they suggest using condoms on sex-toys - I'm sure someone wrote a song about it) Oh, and ignorance. I'm pretty sure that came up in the first ever public information film. Some people like to reduce their risk by using protection, others by reducing sex with those they perceive as high-risk. I don't understand why they shouldn't be allowed to live their lives however they choose. And aren't the biggest groups tested pregnant women and those who give blood (100%) Have you read the info on the Terrance Higgins Trust website that I suggested? Mr.ddc | |||

How long do you think it would be before all these millions of straight people out there who do not know they are infected find out that they are infected.? Or have they all become infected recently? Considering the disease has been around for 30-40 years,shouldnt the numbers be more even by now then? | |||

"Apart from the thought and sight of 2 guys together which is a turn off for us there is the increased risk of AIDS turn off i understand but aids ?? mmm think the risk for that is everywhere not just bi men also have you ever given thought that you most probly have played with a bi guy already as most bi guys say the are str8 ?? if its a fear of aids then guess your in the wrong sport It may be everywhere but have you not seen the new number/percentage of cases involving gay/bisexual men? Nothing wrong with trying to minimise the risk is there?" You are surprised at the number?? I'd wager 80% of those bi men state straight on their profile. It's a big brush & lots of tar but only a small group. Individuals not label types are more or less careful with their health | |||
