Would you? Could you?

Rightly or wrongly I think it's easier for a male to accept his partner being bisexual, as oppose to a female accepting a partner who is bisexual. Naturally when talking about a Male / Female relationship.

That though, is most certainly another can of worms!

Being aware of your own sexuality is a major step in understanding yourself.
Thankfully we understand this more today.
Unfortunatly we do not always accept it.
Sexuality is not just the equipment you were born with.
It has been stated that sexuality falls into 7 mental groups.
Men who only enjoy women (straight).
Women who only enjoy men (straight).
Men who enjoy both sexes (bi-sexual).
Women who enjoy both sexes (bi-sexual).
Men who only enjoy men (gay).
Women who only enjoy women (lesbian).
A person who is gender nutural and has no desire for either (very sad).
Now, I was not refering to the actual body parts here, only the mental desires because I do not want to open a different can of worms as YourPuppet mentioned because worms have both body parts (asexual)
As for myself I love men, I perfer men, I enjoy men.
Yes, I have kissed, cuddled, fondled and enjoyed women.
I also enjoy my plastic Battery Operated Boyfriend.
I am a woman.

I'm straight, but my wife is bisexual. We have both learned to be very open and honest with each other about our sexuality over time, and it took her quite a while to even admit to herself that she is attracted to other women. I wanted to help bring out that part of her because I knew that's the way she's wired and she shouldn't feel ashamed or uncomfortable about it, and even encouraged her to have a girlfriend. She even started up a romantic relationship with a friend that was staying at our place while I was serving in Iraq (I'm in the army national guard), but they ended up getting too close too quickly and the relationship ended badly. Still, the whole thing was a good growing and learning experience for our relationship. It was our first real step in non-monogamy past just talking about it and opened the door for other possibilities, and it gave her the much needed confirmation that the really is bisexual and that it isn't a bad thing. Most importantly, it brought our ability to understand and communicate our sexuality to a new level which ultimately brought us closer together as a couple.

I used to be like that, but over time I discovered that I actually get pretty turned on by the idea of my wife sleeping with someone else. Most guys aren't wired like that, but I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. We can make a pretty clear distinction between recreational sex and intimate sex, and that helps keep the jealousy and insecurity at bay. Recreational sex (with certain guidelines that we've set down) is fine for playing with others, but intimate sex is just for the two of us. This type of lifestyle definitely isn't for everyone, but it works for us.

lol sooo who determines if it's recreational or intimate? You while watching or knowing about it or her when she's having an orgasm by some man other than you? Speaking from a professional standpoint I can say that the couples I have come into contact with that have tried their hands at this type of marital behavior have had disastrous results. Also, just as a side note which I'm sure admin will censor, I'm getting a bit tired of reading about you and your wife's open relationship in almost every post you make and in every old thread you have brought back up. Just saying...

Sorry if I'm being a bit overzealous in my posting. I just found this forum recently and just wanted to get into some of these conversations. I'll tone it down a bit. If you're tired of reading about it though, then why ask questions about it?

Anyway, the thing that determines the difference between recreational and intimate sex really has to do with the relationship with the person and the level of connection being made rather than anything specific about the circumstances of the act itself.

Can you say... sarcasm?
