There is no shame in being bisexual

There is no shame in being bisexual, or any other kind of “—sexual.” Why should we be afraid to explore any aspect of our sexuality? It amazes me that so many gay men should consider my desire to make love to a woman as any kinkier or less enjoyable to me than, say, my desire to have my piss sucked by a man?

What has helped me in banishing shame is contemplation of the genderless nature of one's inner Self and that of the bisexual nature of the human spirit and that of all creatures. Coming out as bi is a spiritual opening and liberation of the psyche and part of the natural transformations and maturation of our body. Free your mind, free your body. Offer your love to everyone and be open to the myriad ways love manifests. Your reaching out to others shows that you already now have the honesty and courage to admit your bisexuality to yourself. Bisexuality is a calling and blessing. Do you have the conviction and courage to be out as bi to others?
