Intellectually I am attracted to people regardless of gender. There are times of no desire when asexuality suits me fine. My sexual desire is lust and longing. It is love and emotion. It is pleasure and fantasy.
Fulfilment comes as a roving pleasure of the body engaging physicality with emotion and intellect.
This tree of desire is firmly anchored in earthy roots and can be climbed to lofty heights. My male body responds to the range of physical acts many men are familiar with - the touch of skin, embrace of pressure, muscle tension, nice things done to dick and balls and perhaps a whiff of pain. Emotionally and intellectually a sense of connectedness with my partner during sex heightens the experience and can indeed be the experience. Liking men and woman sexually is a transgression of Australian social norms, both those of straight as well as gay and lesbian cultures. Like many bisexuals I have run into the usual absurdities of others bent on defining and boxing people into sexual identities.
