Though watching Liv Tyler planting one on the oh so painfully straight Kate Bosworth at some NY restaurant makes me question whether I missed some hidden bisexual subtext...aside from attending a two and a half hour bisexual reading, talking about bisexuality on the radio, and well, you know...
Yes, Mike and I are back in Los Angeles. Quietly rooting for Paris Hilton, (who thankfully did not officially come out as bisexual), to go back to jail. Rumor has it she will have to go back to court tomorrow and possible be thrown back in the slammer sans that little annoying dog.
Undeserving celebrities aside, I should mention that we received a very interesting message from a lesbian in a committed relationship on our MySpace page. She said her wife wants to have sex with her male best friend and she can’t stop crying about it.
My (Nicole) advice to her was what we always tell people in committed relationships where one partner is uncomfortable with the other playing around—it’s no different for bisexuals. Sure, the cravings are for different genders, but if your partner says, “No, I’m not comfortable with you sleeping with someone else.” For the love of god, accept it. Don’t try to talk your partner out of their jealousy. It won’t work. If having sex with other people while in a primary relationship is crucial to your sanity, then date a poly person. But if you’ve got some good monogamous loving and are willing to make the sacrifice—much like your monogamous gay or straight partner who doesn’t chase tail out of respect for you—then think twice before hurting them or blowing a good thing.
