Do openly bisexual Black men really exist?

So once again I was clearing out my inbox but for a different account…note to self – you might wanna downsize in the alter account areas…and I checked out AfroerotiK blog. I love her for her openess and sexuality.  In part the blog said..

Taken from http://afroerotik.blogspot.com/2008/12/do-openly-bisexual-black-men-really.html

I’m interested in openly bisexual Black men for many reasons, primarily because I’m attracted to men who have let go of absurd notions of gender and sexuality. I’m interested in bisexual men who can acknowledge that their manhood and masculinity aren’t defined by how they experience pleasure. I’m only attracted to men who can distance themselves from the misogynist, patriarchal, sexist, oppressive notions of what it is to be man and how society tells men to relate to women. Men who have redefined their notions of top and bottom and see themselves as sexual beings without labels arouse me

After reading this I was reminded of a show I recently saw also dealing with gender and sexuality and how it’s views in different cultures. I saw it on 

The 3rd Sex

National Geographic “Taboo: The Third Sex”

And now my commentary. This is a many layer subject and oddly enough I’ve dealt with this issue…on many layers.  I’ve been with a man who hide his so called bi-sexuality even after I confronted him about. I’ve had emotional lesbian type of connections with lesbians and just regular women.  I’ve never had a physical lesbian relationship…I’m not lesbian after all.

I think as sexual beings we can make a connection with somone based on something beyond the corporeal existence…no matter the other gender.  I know I have many times in my life. When you strip away labels of men, women and other to just leave the essence of “being” then things blend better and you can see how things interconnect and can relate on different levels.  While I’m trying to using these examples to explain my board understanding on gender and sexuality this does not mean I promote being a lesbian or homosexual.  This might seem a contradiction for some folks.

Well,  I feel some people choose to be lesbian/ homosexual verses living in a cultural that includes/understands/supports the additional genders for spiritual reasons. These are two different subject all together.

Easing Anothers Isolation

I spend way to much time online gettn into things that make no sense…yet this sorta makes sense to me after having a boy friend go to jail and having to visit him there very other week. He use to write me these letters thanking me for having someone to talk to…for having someone to keep him sane…someone to remind him that there’s life outside n something to motivate him to be a better man for when he comes out. To bad he quickly changed once he came out…

Anyway, the site is right that it’s very lonely in there. Yeah they did something to put them in there but we all make mistakes right? Any of us could have made a different choice in life and ended up in jail. I know I could have.

Having someone on the outside that they can keep in touch with…that reminds them their not totally locked in or cut off maybe…just maybe can make a difference somehow.

I’m going to find a few and write to them for the holidays.

Quick Check In


Hey Gang,

Just a quick check in to let you know I’m doing fine. Been hanging out a bit and feeling better. Tonight I’m on my way to the movies to see “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints” I’ll blog about the movie and how my weekend went when I come back. Enjoy the night everyone :)

What the fck! Me on Survivor?!

I just had to blog about this email. This must be a joke cause I don’t know how they found me or if it’s a real offer. Can you imagine me on Survivor…how do they expect me to live without my laptop or beer!!! If she really read my profile she’d know I can’t survive without these very important things. Add to that they want to stick me on an island where I’ll be the “black women” surrounded by people out to get me? No way, not this little buddha…

Hi, My name is Lisa Tercheria and I work in casting for the TV show Survivor and you seem great for the show!! From your profile, you seem outgoing, athletic and intelligent – your personality seems perfect for reading people on Survivor. I know this may sound crazy, but I’ve been doing this for a while and I definitely know what we’re looking for. Please call me ASAP as we are in crunch time or give me your number and I’ll call you! Feel free to call me on my cell to find out more.

Thanks! Can’t wait to hear from you!

Lisa
