To paraphrase somebody else, there is no other Windmill, save the one
on Spon St. What a happy house it is too. I always arrive early to
obtain my favourite seat (in front of the fireplace) for maximum
visibility of new arrivals. Ahem...

With regard to my poetic prowess (thank you, Guy), I continue...

And the lead character, very well acted"

Or something.

You'd better be there, young Davies!  I've already told you that I'm quite

necessary (ooh! aren't I butch!).  Just imagine the scene at Waverley

earlier today.  Police say that a large, furry bisexual was seen carrying
a struggling, giggling, lycra-clad bisexual in the direction of Cambridge.
Residents of the whole of Cambridgeshire are advised to stay indoors."

Well, I certainly do care. I'm het, my wife is bi, and we have friends

Gee, the "type of lifestyle". Sounds so ominous, like she's going to
shave her head and worship Velveeta or something. What if she told you
she had decided she liked opera as well as rock and roll, would you
still worry? I guess I'll never understand; maybe cause I'm het. I know
how natural it feels for me to be attracted to women (not just sexually,
either), and I can certainly understand how someone could be attracted
to both men and women. What I can't understand is people who think that
being bi is strange.

}>   I am very glad that I read this group.  I have discovered here a

}>that my bi friend is a member of good company.

If your bi friend is on this newsgroup, what you just said makes sense.
If not, then you have no basis for believing that all bi people are as
nice as those on this particular newsgroup; anymore than all gay or
het people are nice. There are good and bad folks of all different
lifestyle choices. I'd like to believe that bi people are a bit more
accepting and easy-going than most, but then I'm prejudiced; I'm quite
ecstaticly married to one!

Just to screw up the status quo (I'm so good at this sometimes :) ), that's
not _always_ necessarily true.  In our case, we (my love and I) had offered
these people crashspace in our room, at 11PM I left to get some snacks from
a local convenience store, and when I came back everyone was pretty much
naked ... I was dragged (I was kicking and screaming, rrright.) into the
situation within 5 minutes of getting back, and certainly didn't talk about
it.

Hmm ... actually, on second thought, this may not be such a big exception --
I was told later by my love that she had discussed the subject extensively
with them while I wasn't there (I had earlier indicated my consent for her
to have sex with them, so according to our polyamory agreement she was
'safe').

I don't think she told them how uncomfortable I can get with women, though,
and certainly no verbal negotiations were conducted with regards to my
interaction with his partner (which came down to nil) ... 

bottom line, as always, is that mileage varies ... explicit communication is
not always necessary, though I would agree it may decrease your chances for
a screwup.

hi, i'm a lurking lesbian (de-muffining i guess on soc.bi) 
i've been lurking for some time, because i've been
interested in a bisexual woman i know, and i've been
reading soc.bi to try to get an understanding of, well,
all the stuff you bisexuals have to put up with.

i don't have any solutions for you, but i do think
that sometimes lesbian raps have an agenda devoted
to constructing the 'perfect lesbian'.  you know, politically
correct, political, anti-porn, anti-men...
most of the raps i've been to haven't been supportive
AT ALL of bisexuality.  i guess most lesbians are frightened
of being 'left for a man', or maybe they are frightened of
`competing' with a man.  personally, i feel that if
a bisexual wants a man, great, but if she wants a woman,
well....even better!  :)

good luck though.

Au contraire, mon ami. I, for one, have admitted to having said fantasy in this

There are people who are that clueless. Or maybe bi-invisility is so strong
that they can't think of women who desire other women as anything other than
lesbian.

Don't ask me. I'm just an undergrad.

A woman on BISEXU-L said she was sexually assaulted by a long-nailed
woman who cut her vagina up pretty good.  A friend of a friend was
cut up by a long-nailed dyke.

A lesbian cartoonist drew a picture of a hand with long nails under the
caption "signs of a summer of celibacy".

Do people with long fingernails abstain from such sexual practices?
Do they wear latex gloves?  Do they have partners who are looking for 
consentual cuts?
