Gender roles and mannerisms as a bisexual
Something has been bugging me for a bit now, and I guess I need some input from you lovely bisexuals, because I just know someone here will understand :)
My issue is, i'm having trouble with my flexible "role" in a relationship. Thing is, when i'm dating a female, my disposition is more dominant than when i'm with a male. I feel more in control, not necessarily butch, but more of a "top" than a bottom...I guess what i'm saying is, while i'm not the "girly girl" and I don't really act like a guy either. I guess the best way to put it in an analogy would be: I wouldn't be the one GIVING a strip tease for my partner, i'd be the one recieving it...
Now, to describe that same feeling, when i'm with a guy, (as I currently am and have been for the past 6 years), I AM the one giving a striptease. I usually AM the girly girl, but for some reason when i'm with a girl, all that goes out the window, and i'm the one wearing Timberland boots and white T's...
During sex with a guy, I DO want HIM to take charge, and BE the guy in the relationship-I WANT HIM to be dominant. During sex with a girl, I am the dominant one, I usually don't feel comfortable with penetration, etc, except for a few exceptions, and I am usually the one who would wear the strap on (LOL) and do everything to HER. And I like that, most of the time.
Don't get me wrong, I like that my mannerisms are so fluid, but sometimes it gets a bit confusing, and overwhelming...it also doesn't help that I haven't had any romantic attention from a female in so long that I feel like I have an erection that won't go away-except for it's my entire body...
