This reminds me--a while back, a gay male friend of mine (who had no net

It should further be added that when ever such spod-isms as "operating

are uttered at such an event (ie. a Dave&Alex soc.bi party), the

Cvadrgez, is it useful to ask rhetorical questions of a huge crowd of
strangers who know nothing at all about you?  Or would it be more useful
to tell us what's troubling you, instead of hinting from the shadows?

right! were they your friend? i'd say that this is only 'ethical' if they 
realize what they've done and will know why! Alot of the time they (in my past)
simply didn't realize what had happened and i lost some good friends... none
fell to my sexuality, ie: because im bi and they're straight and homophobic...
 all my friends who AREN't gay/bi WERE homophobic.. but i came out in such a 
way to them that they've been ""enlightened"" wish i knew what it was.. would 
help so many other ppl.. i just DID it *grin*

if they were good friends, atleast let them know why. IF they have enough 
maturity to be adult about it... (whatever this namelessthing is)

I'm all for weirdness...it's what I live for.  I was referring, though, to a
specific complex: that which causes one to become invariably hostile for no
apparent reason.  My problem with soc.motss has nothing to do with balance
or maturity; it rests entirely on the observation that many people there are
just so darned rude, intolerant, and lacking in sense.  I'm sure there are
many people there who do not fit these three characteristics, but the
general atmosphere is reminiscent of the '92 Republican Convention!

What I can say is that most so-called "bi porn" is recycled junk from
your typical hetero- and phallocentric imaginations.  You know, women 
who aren't satisfied 'til the man shows up, etc.  Some do seem to be gay 
male produced, and these suffer from the usual pitfalls of that (that is,
no plot, awful dialogue, and so on).  There's a dreadful series called
_The Best Bi Far_ that exemplifies this.  It's like watching
marionettes copulate.  Not too great.  I remember a witty poster to
soc.motss long ago saying "this stuff could be the one thing that puts
me off sex forever."

All that said, I've heard that there are *some* good shows to be seen
out there.  I liked one called _Night Trips II_, but I suspect my
memory is colored by the fact that I was with a terribly attractive
person at the time.  We were driven nuts with lust, and, shy fools we,
did nothing.  Until the following weekend.  :)  Warning, this is a
pretty heterocentric show, though it has some exclusively lesbian
scenes.  Has fewer of those annoying come shots.  (Why, by god, must
people be assured that yes, sure as shit, HE REALLY CAME!  Ugh.)

If anyone else has recommendations, I think this is a worthwhile
thread--soc.motss compiles lists occasionally.  I think the only way
we're going to get erotic material with a feminist/bi/etc. slant is
for those who *have* the perspective to *make* the stuff.  Any takers?

Or somehow 'practice bisexuality?'
