In spite of the pun, those are two valid, and separate questions. So I’ll proceed.
A) So why are you bi? Originally, it began simply. As I matured, physically at least, I knew from early on that I could look at a female and think she was hot and get that stirring feeling down below. However, I also noticed that I got the same feelings towards some males as well. And since Nebraska is not the hotbed of radical thoughts and progressive social movements that you might expect it to be, this meant either I was gay and confused, or else something was just screwed up in my mind. Even being gay, as I thought I was, was so outside of the norm that I knew to keep that hidden. Years later, well after high school graduation, one of my good friends from that time has told me he’s interested in my life and everything, but anything “close with another guy” (his words) was something he wanted to just forget about. Oh well. Fast forward a few years, and when I was with some of my good friends I had at the time in Chicago, among a lot of other things we would do, is that we would talk about anything and everything. They were the ones to explain to me that all I am is bisexual, and they helped me to greatly expand my mental horizons, lower my purity test scores, but most importantly, they helped me be comfortable with myself as a bisexual man. Though we have drifted quite a ways apart, my life has still been blessed to have had them in it.
B) When you can rent? This is something else quirky about me, and it comes from some of my philosophical beliefs. The idea of being close or intimate with someone I do not feel anything for just has no appeal to me. This does not necessarily have to be the last forever sort of love, but at least a close friend and someone I care about a lot before I could feel comfortable with anything like that. I think this all stems from my beliefs in things so much more valuable than money. While its nice to have, I think if all someone wants is money, that is all they will have. But they will not have real happiness though.
I suppose that’s enough rambling for now. Thanks for your time.
