The word \u2018bi-curious\u2019 makes me feel even more like heaving. Just because I was in love with a girl for six months two decades ago, a swath of unappealing \u2018straight\u2019 females for quite a while saw fit to try it on with me after a few Babychams. \u2018But I want to experiment with my sexuality!\u2019 they would wail as I ejected them into the night. \u2018Then buy a Bunsen burner and a Petri dish, and stick \u2018em where the sun don\u2019t shine!\u2019 I would squeal indignantly. And the current Special Snowflake simper of \u2018sexual fluidity\u2019 makes me feel like burning a rainbow flag \u2013 it sounds like something you\u2019d ask the pharmacist for a cure for in a hushed voice, all the while itching madly.<\/p>\n

But the act<\/em> of being bisexual \u2013 I prefer to call it \u2018sexually flexible\u2019 or even better \u2018spontaneous\u2019 \u2013 is truly to have drawn the golden ticket in the tombola of dirty joy. Yes, some bisexuals are miseries \u2013 my ex-girlfriend once sniggered to me that at every Freshers\u2019 Week at the universities she attended, there was inevitably a Bisexual Stall bearing the legend \u2018Twice the fun\u2019 and manned by a creature whose misery was so tangible that he made Morrissey look like Little Mary Sunshine. With certain women, you get the feeling that having had mutually dismaying relationships with as many men as they could physically manage, they decided to bat for both sides sheerly in order to double the number of potential partners they can make as miserable as they are.<\/p>\n
