The stigma of male bisexuality: always seen as gay?

Is a bisensbi man simply a lgtb man?

The label "bisensbi" on a man is usually met with skepticism, if not outright disbelief. In forums and everyday conversations, an old debate resurfaces: male bisensbi is socially erased and reduced to closeted gaiity. The arguments repeat themselves: if you've had experiences with other men, most women will consider you lgtb forever; using the "bi" label on dating apps drastically reduces your matches with women; and some claim that many lgtb men pretend to be bisensbi to seem more masculine.

The double standard of labels

The debate reflects a tension between individual freedom and social pressure. While some argue that labels restrict and create a "deterioration of freedoms", others see them as a survival tool in the dating market. The data from the playing field are stubborn: on platforms like Tinder, declaring yourself bisensbi as a man is a drag when it comes to connecting with women, who tend to see the user as a potential "lgtb friend". Recent history, like the era of the Terra chat, fuels the skepticism: according to some experiences, everyone who claimed to be "bi" was looking for contact with men, no exceptions.

A dating market hostile to bi men

Economic reasoning also comes into play: the argument goes that a man who is genuinely attracted to men would have no reason to pay for female sensual services or make an effort to woo women, when the male market is more accessible to him. This materialist view clashes with the reality of those who feel attracted to both sens and find a wall of distrust when they reveal their orientation. The consequence is practical: many bisensbi choose not to disclose it, or simply erase it from their profile, so as not to reduce their options.

The debate remains open. The only certainty is that male bisensbi is still a social taboo that is rarely taken seriously, and those who live it know that, in most people's eyes, they will always be "a bit lgtb".
