Default Would you date a bisexual man?

I'm curious how comfortable people are with dating men that have been involved with both genders, and what their likes/dislikes about such an issue may be. For one, a bi guy may be more apt to carry STDs than a het man, but if he tests free of STDs and is practicing safe behavior while you're involved with him that needn't be such an issue.

The "yes" response doesn't mean you'd date anyone who is bisexual, but simply that you wouldn't let that stop you if they seemed worth dating otherwise, while "no" would mean that they could be the perfect guy in every other way, but that their extra experience would be a deal breaker for you.

I'm mostly interested in poll responses from men and women who regularly date men, though heterosexual men and lesbians are welcome to type a response as well. Anyone who doesn't care for all the labels is also welcome to chime in.

Also, at what point do you feel someone should disclose their sexuality, provided they're fairly clean and not putting you at risk?

ps:this thread is being reposted after it'd been accidentally deleted. sorry a few good posts were lost, but I at least had a chance to read them.

(The accidental deletion was my fault. Sorry if you were one of the ones to lose a post! -Scott)
(I added the pool result: "No, I am male and ONLY date woman". As of now there are two people who voted "Yes and I'm male". There is a good chance that those thought they voted for dating a bisexual woman.

Yep. I wound if I could, I have a relationship with a man now that are hetero. but my biggest Swedish hero who is a man is also very sexy and intelligent are also a bisexual man. And I totally adore him for being who he is (he is famous) so a Yes would defenetly be my answer.

STDs can be transmitted through blood, needles and other liquid-sharing between people, so I do not believe that bisexuality or homosexuality shall be the main reason for not dating anyone, and beside a test is cheep and easy to do. Condomes are easy to use and should be used until you are 100% sure about the facts about STD.

And I think that bisexuals are just as beautiful and brilliant as others so why not. I might even be a tiny bit bisexual myself...haven't tested and wont test me with girls now since I am engaged with my boyfriend!

Love Leelene

I'm a woman and I would not have a problem dating a bisexual man. Actually, some of the most attractive men I have met are bisexual. Whether I would settle down with someone like that is another question. I have several friends who you can say are bisexual and even though they love women (one of them was even engaged at one stage), they tend to prefer men. And if they did become monogamous for a while, it was in a male-male relationship. But they're just my experiences.

Has anyone seen Three of Hearts? It's a doco about a family of two men and a woman, living quite happily as one family. This topic made me think of it.

Default yup.

I would, and have.

I lived with a man for several years who was VERY sexual, very masculine. I asked him if he had ever considered sleeping with a man, and he seemed offended - but I meant it as a compliment. Something like - he was SO sexually charged, everyone was attracted to him (and they were). I would have found it a turn-on in his case, just that sensuality involved.

The bi man I did date - that was more like I believed, he just loved people, loved sharing that kind of intimacy with people he cared for.

I voted for yes. I am a woman. As long as he's monogomous it's fine with me (I don't care if he has or will in the future be with men, but I like my sexual relationships exclusive while I'm in them).

Exactly. It's wonderful to be able to share so much with so many people, it would be suffocating to have to deal with all the shackles most people put themselves into.
