First comes L & B, then comes G & T: Twisted Reality on Sexuality

Women empowerment has grown strong for decades, but one of the biggest empowerments for women is not empowering at all for men and the transgender community. When it comes to sexuality, there is this unspoken word that women who sleep with women or better yet, women who sleep with women and men are what’s preferred.
Just to give a scenario to explain this more clearly; if you go to a bar or club and every one is drinking, if the club or bar saw two women making out there would be no question about their sexuality. They may actually be lesbian or just good friends who like to make out, but it wouldn’t matter because everyone including other women would enjoy the visual. However, if that scenario were turned around to include two men then it would be a different reaction coming from the crowd watching. You may hear people expressing disgust, you may even hear people shouting faggots or assume they are gay without question.
These are the realities of sexual expression between men and women. One recent and similar article on the site was about the reality show Bad Girls Club and the popularity of girl on girl action. Not sure where it originates from, but there is a vast separation of reality & sexuality of people thinking that men and women are extremely different in the realm of sexuality. Men and women are very similar in sexual desires, but it is society that makes it difficult for men to be more openly expressive of their desires even to their own female partners.
Just looking at bisexual women and men, bisexual women are far more accepted by their partners than bisexual men when it comes to heterosexual relationships. Women seem to think that if a man is bisexual that they are automatically looking at other men and may venture off with men while with a woman. If a bisexual woman can be exclusively with a man and with the permission of her partner maybe explore and they both have fun intimately together, why is this so difficult for women to do the same with their bisexual men?
Throughout my own personal experiences, I have met many men who do have desires to be with a man, but worry what their female partner would think if they were to disclose that information. If this is socially acceptable for women, why is it so different with men? Men and women are more similar than different when it comes to sexuality and men want to explore their sexuality and it be okay and acceptable by society and their partner just as much as women.
