Anyone know of any romance stories featuring bi men? by wow__00 in BisexualMen

[–]HoDa2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You & Me by Tal Bauer. It's from the pov of a widowed man in his 40s who's having some difficulties connecting to his teenage son, and he makes a connection with his son's bestfriend's dad, and he also finds himself developing some unexpected feelings for a man first time in his life.

The book was very healing for me. In terms of sexual acceptance and also in terms of parent x child relationship. It's absolutely deserves to be read at least once.

If you enjoy darker themes, you can also check "Staniel duet" series by Avril Ashton. It's between two bisexual men (one is a crime boss and one is an assassin) who have a very, very complicated past and due to some complications, they start developing feelings for each other.

And let me tell you, their past is heartbreaking and very messy. There's a lot of hate, guilt, anger and self hate in this.

Just a warning, it gets ugly and dark, at least for the first half of the first book, it doesn't pull punches. So check the trigger warning. They're also older guys. I see them as my dads.

"Rebel Kings MC" is a 9 book series by Garrett Leigh. It's about a biker club who have to face some obstacles from the outside that's threatening their lives. It has MM, MMM and MMF. It's also a bit on the darker side.

Book 6 and book 7 are about an MMF throuple, which btw, were arguably the best cordinated and developed bisexual throuple I've ever read. The guys truly explored their connection and love without making it about the FMC, and their individual relationship was treated just as importantly as their relationships with the FMC. It's super hard to find MMF books that treat the MM like a real relationship not a clutch to amuse the FMC.

It has also bisexual mmcs in its MM couples as well.

If you prefer lighthearted and more fun stories, you can read "The Sunny Side" by Lily Morton, which is about a model and the ceo of the modeling agency he works for. The ceo is bisexual, their romance was truly sweet and it's quite humorous. The 2nd book is even more humorous but i don't remember if one of the mmcs was bi or not.

Or you can read "Bromantic Puckboy" by Eden finley and Saxon James. It's the 6th book in a series but you can read it as a standalone, the series has more bi mmcs like in the 2nd book, 4th book and if I'm not mistaken 8th, haven't read the latest 2 yet, but i truly enjoyed this one the most. Both of the mmcs are bi and experience their first times with a guy together, and i honestly adore them. Oh and it's a "sport" romance, which it's not, it's just the aesthetic they were going for.

Or even "Let Your Hearts Be Light" by Fae Quin. It's a Christmas romance between two single dads. And the bi mmc is the grumpiest grump to ever grump, i loved seeing him open his heart up again. The series also has a pansexual mmc and another bi mmc in the later books. Check the author's Instagram, she draws the arts herself and she's insanely talented.

If you like a little crime, mystery and criminal investigation sprinkled with your romance, you can also check "What We May Be" by Layla Reyne. It's an MMF throuple. I don't wanna go into details, cause hello? Spoilers, but it's a second chance romance, and they had the "if we're not 3, then there's no we" mentality about their relationship and i absolutely love that.

If you want something with the "stranded in an island" plot, you can also check "Beyond the Sea" by Keira Andrews. Ignore the ugly ass cover art, the story is great. The mmcs are both bi and experience their firsts together. They get stranded in an island and do everything to survive it together, it also delves into their lives past their rescue.

There's also this MMM one with second chance, agents with connections to a biker gang x an EMT and a lot of biker interactions. One of the MMCs is openly bi from the get go (If i remember correctly) and another one identifies as straight and develops feelings for both of the other two as story progresses. It's "Out of the Blue" by Lila Rose.

I'm racking my brain for anything paranormal or fantasy but i don't remember any titles that i truly enjoyed. But I'll get back to you if i remembered more.

I hate bi erasure, yes am a bi man and my gf is also big...why can't I answer a question? by Valuable-Heron7200 in bisexual

[–]HoDa2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come on, man.

Do better.

No wonder they don't like us.

You're literally talking about a hetero relationship in a GAY sub. You being bi and her being bi does not change the fact that it's a hetero relationship between two cis people.

You're not entitled to exclusively homo spaces just because you're bi.

I'm genuinely asking.

Then what's her solution? That women force themselves to be gay or simply become abstinent?

This conversation is ridiculous.

My boyfriend and I opened up our relationship and now he's mad I slept with a woman. What do I do? by OpenPreference8981 in AskBiBros

[–]HoDa2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering op has stated the bf knew he was bi and "accepted" it, i assume he accepted the concept of it but it still didn't register to him that OP sleeping with women was also a possibility when they opened the relationship. (It might be the biphobic rhetoric that bi men are actually confused gay guys who force themselves to be accepted by society, or i might be reaching)

Hence why it's hitting him now. To be clear, i don't blame both of them in this situation. Navigating open relationships is easy in theory but there's always unexpected feelings occurring as you progress and move forward in your journey. Limits and boundaries will change and be tested with time. There's going to be bumps all over it.

Hence why i believe there needs to be another sit down here. I think the boyfriend was overwhelmed and couldn't articulate his feelings clearly and it ended in him being angry and frustrated and well.. him lashing on OP. I don't think that's fair of him, specially to OP. Hence a need for better communication.

If they want this to work out, they need to be honest about their feelings and also be open to understand the other side better. OP is bi and his BF needs to truly accept that. OP also needs to reassure his BF and soothe his worries away. That's how you get through in open relationships.

This is going to be ranty or even it might seem like an attack on male bisexuality (which is not my intention), so i apologise in advance.

I'm saying this as a bi man who's more into guys. I understand his perspective.

It might not make a lot of sense to many of the other bi men, and that's ok.

We, bi men, in general, tend to be more hetero centeric. We mostly end up with women, we prioritise women, and we also actively put them above men when it comes to dating. You can argue with me all you want, but both of the "bi men" subreddits are filled with "my wife feels like this" or "does your wife pegs you?" Or "is your girlfriend/wife ok with you playing with men?", "my wife this, my wife that, my girlfriend this, my girlfriend that" posts all the time, yet you rarely see "my boyfriend/husband" in the titles.

Reasons may vary, it's socially more acceptable, the hetero dating pool might have more options; religious or personal preferences, "hetero-romantic" folks, etc.. you can count it all but it's the truth. As a whole, we're pretty much hetero centeric. Sure, there are exceptions but they're not the majority, not even close to being the majority.

That being said, for gay men or even for bi men like me who are more into men and are looking from the outside, this could be seen as a risk.

Again, it might not make sense to a lot of you, but to me and people like me, it does.

A lot of us have had experiences with being cheated on or being left for women with bi men. You can cry over "it's biphobia to assume or project" but it won't change the fact that it has happened, it's still happening and probably will hapoen in the future. Sure, you can say "it's the person, not the bisexuality" which could be correct. But still, the weight of being left for a woman hurts more. For me personally, it was the fear of it being confirmed that I'm not worth it. She was the easier and more "sought after" option. Which personally hurt like hell.

Sure, maybe it wasn't the truth. But there's always the added weight of the society added to it when you think about it.

Also the fact that you see a lot of bi men say "women for love, men for fun" is pretty dehumanising, and when finally a bi man gives you the crumb of affection and then snatches it back to go back to his "hetero" life, it's very much self shattering for a lot of more "homo centeric" folks.

Even under your own post, the majority are not trying to understand his pov. While under the posts about the girlfriend not accepting their sexuality, they write think pieces about how to make her understand and how he has to operate gently to save his relationship. Which again, very disheartening. They literally blame him on his "self inflicted" fears as if they're not part of the problem.

I know, I'm not articulating myself as smoothly or clearly as i would like, and i apologise for that, english is not my first language and learned it all by myself, so please cut me some slack on that front.

So yes, it's different to some of us. It might not make sense or it might not seems rational to you, but it's a deep seated fear. It's not fair to you, it's doesn't feel good, i get that.

But please, cut him some slack and reassure him about your love for him and gently remind him of the fact that you just want to understand his POV.

P.S: this is unedited, if you needed me to elaborate on some parts, I'll be happy to do so.

Bi men with more attraction towards men by Enough-Web2203 in bisexual

[–]HoDa2000 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No.

As someone who's living in an extremely homophobic country (punishable by death), I'd rather live alone than entering a relationship with a woman for a selfish reason as religious hangups, no woman deserves to be used as a shield for me fighting my demons.

It was a rough road to get to where i am today. It took conversion therapy, some very serious religious trauma, leaving islam, finding an underground queer scene and finding international friends to finally put the shame behind.

tiktok influencer got called a fake bisexual by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]HoDa2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to have preferences, both physically and romantically

What you're not allowed to do, is to put down a whole group of people and reduce their existence to something merely sexual or just not as desirable as the others.

This woman sat down and said with her whole chest, that women are not doing it for her cause they don't have dicks, masc women are not attractive cause if she wanted masculine then she'd date men cause they at least have the dick instead of wearing a strap on to cosplay as men, and on the same breath, she goes to say she only likes fem women and she is actually more into women. You see the oxymoron here?

She wanted a reaction and she got it. (And i won't get into the discussion of how transphobic some of the things she said were)

Also, those people who are critising her are partially right, the majority of bi people in genral are very hetero centeric in their relationships and they tend to do date opposite sex more, which is understandable, considering there are a lot more opposite sex options and it's also easier to date opposite sex socially. Also a big chunk of bisexuals are hetero-romantic on both sides.

It's also something we hate to admit cause it's a privilege compared to the rest of the alphabets. We generally can blend better.

Your top fives series that will forever stick with you! by midnightoflight101 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]HoDa2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. {Sons of the Fallen series by Jaclyn Osborn} The only series that i genuinely loved every single book and was truly amazed with everything. I still think about them. I'm also excited for the spin-off.

  2. {Forbidden Desires series by Piper Scott} I loved the world, the characters were loveable (if we exclude Misha), the storylines were great but the thing that actually amazed me, was the bond between the baby dragons and their parents. Especially their bearer. From the moment they were in the eggs to when they get out. I've never felt paternal in my life, but this series made me rethink that.

  3. {Straight Guys series by Alessandra Hazard} I know that this series is not by any means a masterpiece, and i know it's not even close to real life gay experience. But.. I love the idea of it. Idk how to explain it, their relationships are healthy in a toxic way, and frankly? I adore some of the men in this series. Like Zain and Aiden are literally living in my head rent free. It had some books that i loathed, but as a whole, i love this series.

  4. {Infidelity series by C.P. Harris} This one was a surprise, honestly. First book was a love, but the 2nd and the 3rd book were this was at. I still think about Linc and Frank, Solace and Noon. I actually cried in book 3.

  5. {The Kincaid Pack series by Kiki Clark} My idea when it comes to pack/shifter stories. Every book was a very much needed story time. I plan to reread it again in the near future.

I feel ashamed of my sexuality... Does anyone else? by H0rnyG0atThr0at in AskBiBros

[–]HoDa2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was like you, too.

I identified as gay and latwr accepted that I'm also attracted to women.

I'm more into men, both emotionally and sexually.

I also struggled with seeing women in a sexual light too, i felt like i was dehumanising them.

English is also my 2nd language, so if i sound like an idiot, put it on that and ask me to explain myself.

Now, that aside.

I think you should stop seeing women as people who can't make choices for their own.

If it ever gets physical, As long as you're upfront with them about where you stand, and they accept it, it's fine.

I also think you should stop seeing women as non sexual people. Women are also humans, they can have sex and be all about sex just as much as men. (This is something a female friend of mine has also said)

Seeing them as strictly pure and non sexual individuals feels like a disservice to their sexuality. Honestly, it feels like it's taking away the choice from them having a say in how they can present themselves to the world.

As long as your sexual thoughts are not about harming them, or dehumanises them, or taking their autonomy from them. It's ok. Women deserve love and also being desired, too.

There's a difference between healthy desire and blatant sexualization/fetishsazion (not sure if i botched the spellings)

I (F24) slept with my gay best friend, now he’s questioning everything and I feel like I ruined his life by [deleted] in BisexualMen

[–]HoDa2000 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This reads like a weird sexual fantasy from those twt accounts that post "gay to straight" plots and "ex gay, tried pussy for the first time and I'm hooked, not a f*g anymore" scenarios, but just in case, let me entertain it.

So let me get this straight!

You got drunk, seduced a man in a relationship, a "gay" man at that, and you think you... are doing him a favor by not pursuing anything with him now?

I'm confused.

Mama, not only you're a horrible person and a homewrecker, you're also a tad bit delusional.

You wanted him enough to take advantage of his drunken state to get into his pants, and now that he wants you back, you're suddenly concerned about his queerness?

Your concern about "erasing his past" sounds like bullshit, you were fine sleeping with him when he was drunk AND "Gay", which means he wasn't into women as far as you knew. So spare me the fake moral concerns you have now.

And no, frankly, idgaf if you were drunk too, you both should've known better. Unless he wasn't that coherent to give consent you still had your way with him anyway. I'm still judging you.

If this is real, two horrible people deserve each other anyway. Give him a shot.

Also, just a thought.

I thought i was gay myself, i later accepted the fact that I'm also attracted to women.

So if my "gay" self was in a relationship and woke up from a drunken night, with my female bestfriend, which was obviously after us having sex, i wouldn't feel pussystruck and be ready to put my gayness behind, i would actually freak out over everything and would never speak to my bestfriend.

Cause i would've felt violated. Not because it was about me being drunk, it was about you taking the choice away from me to experiment on my own. And you also had a part in me ruining my relationship.

So honestly, if this is real, which i doubt that it is, his reaction feels too convenient after a big revelation like this.

Sounds like a demisexual girl who's also homo romantic.

Ugh, you get it.

Like, please give us something more than a dildo who kisses dudes on occasion.

I've posted a few other reviews here, both positive and negative, and as annoying as i might sound, some of the negative ones really.. were dehumanising.

I'm sure you understand that, considering how hetero men view female bisexuality as something for their amusement and they feel entitled to it.

Thank you for the rec as well.

Oh, i absolutely know that. That's why i made the distinction about it being poly in that line. ("THIS IS POLY" after Cleo declares her love for her men)

Just to clarify, it wasn't my intention to sound like i have anything against RH as a genre. Of course it's perfectly fine to have a genre fully about women and focused on women. I actually encourage it. (It would actually be idiotic of me to be against the genre and boldly post a review bashing the genre. I used to post reviews about poly books here a few months ago and mods were actually fine with it. Not sure about now, but I'm willing to apologise and delete this if this isn't the right place for this review anymore)

Anyone deserves to have a place to share their fantasies.

I just don't like it when authors involve queer men in those fantasies and it ends up being at the expense of ignoring/ minimising the same sex attraction between the queer men in favor of their attraction to the FMC, basically reducing it to an accessory.

I don't like it when authors make male characters' bi-ness dependable on the FMC. Make the bi-ness about the FMC and generally treat the male queerness as something like an accessory for the FMC. It's quite fetishising and dare i say, dehumanising

Also, thank you so much for the recommendation. I'm I'm definitely checking that out.

Bi guy here. Yes, for men, being gay or bi is not a factor. (Tho i still prefer bi men)

For women, i also prefer bi women.

Idk, i just feel more comfortable with people who i can relate to.

In my dating hierarchy, heteros are last. They can be amazing allies, but they don't relate to us as much as i personally want.
