Why most of the population is not bisexual?

[StrenghtenMe]

Is it how our species evolved or is it purely cultural thing that majority of the men identify as exclusively heterosexual? Why society find heterosexuality so precious- is it abrahamic religion or some other factors.

The rest of modern apes and/or monkeys seems to be mostly bisexual... I mean its impossible to ask a non-human animal how it identifies(lol) but if its observed to have sex with males and females it is obvious its to get off.

You're pretty close to truth. The vast majority (if not everyone) of people aren't 100% straight or gay. We all fall somewhere in between. However, due to the christian global revolution we have been indoctrinated to identify as straight as if it is our default nature. There are countless bodies of evidence of this throughout our species history. Heck even the terms "Heterosexual" and "homosexual" aren't even 200 years old yet.

We also have growing evidence of our innate sexual fluidity within our current society. There has been some work that explained some of the rationale behind "bi/gay when drunk" phenomenon and the conclusions aren't "alcohol is a magic gay potion".

If I remember correctly, even the invention of the term "soulmate" was created by the Spartans to define the love between two men. Another man was the person that was there for the warrior, would defend the warrior, would be there in every dire moment to support the warrior. While a woman was the person to help continue the blood line. Also, historically the leading cause of death for women was childbirth which was another reason for men to sleep with each other rather than risk killing their wives.

The Kinsey Scale says it all. Without a doubt, religion and culture has stopped people from openly owning their sexual fluidity (Kinsey wasn’t a fan of the term bisexual). I am a very sexual person and I am sexually fluid. It took me a long time to admit that even to myself. The great thing about getting older is that you no longer give a fuck what other people think.

I'd come down on the cultural side in answering your question. I think the reluctance of many men to admit that they can be and are attracted to other men, even when they self-define as heterosexual, has a lot to do with inculturation and prejudice. And it's not just straight males. A lot of people, period, want men to be exclusively heterosexual, but are less anxious about women being bi. To me, that says that this anxiety has a lot to do with society's strong expectation that men be "real" men, and fears that men who feel attraction to other men or have sex with other men are undermining the "real" male side and choosing to act like women.

Many of us don't think of ourselves as bisexual. Sure we list bisexual here to simplify... But a LOT of us are bi-curious. Which means... Given the right situation... We would cross that line where my mouth is on a cock. Some do it a lot... Some do it almost never. But we feel it every day.

I think if we get right into the primeval male in us it boils down to we need to satisfy the urge to reproduce; in the herd hierarchy of a dominant alpha male who would fight off all other males so the females where his only the other males needed to satisfy the urge.

Perhaps another way to look at it from the our primeval times it could come down to dominance in the alpha male hierarchy by buggering a less dominant male

I am sure that culture and religion play an essential role.

Let’s consider Greek and Roman society before the spread of Christianity. They weren’t the model of tolerance for Lgbt rights that some believe, but they had a different approach to MM sex.

The family based on heterosexual marriage was the base of society and every man or woman was expected to marry and have children. Effeminate men were ridiculed and it was considered unacceptable for a man to be attracted to a grown up man or to be the passive in a homosexual intercourse. The only culturally accepted homosexual attraction was that of men to boys, with the implication that the man would play the active role in sex and that as the boy grew up, he would no longer be considered attractive (therefore no long term MM couples).

But with these limitations, attraction to boys was considered perfectly normal and men who did not feel it were considered a bit strange. Poets wrote lyrics where the object of their love was alternately a boy or a girl and historians of the time report as a curiosity that of all the Roman emperors only two or three were not attracted to boys.

Thus, in a society where a certain type of bisexuality was culturally accepted, most people fell in that category, with the two minorities of those who were strictly heterosexual or strictly homosexual. More or less what Kinsey discovered in his survey nearly 2000 years later.

Fortunately for me I was able to explore my bisexuality, slowly, safely and most importantly discreetly.

I wouldnt exactly say that I was exploring in my first interaction with a man.

I have posted this before but I will post it again here.

My first time with a man was definitely a secret taboo and out of the ordinary.

He was a neighbour that saw me coming home from training, limping and suggested a massage may help.
I was so very naive and thought he was genuine and sounded convincing and went over.

To his credit, he initally draped me and gave me a proper "legit" massage, that was I until I rolled over and he started massaging my thighs and abs, though still partially draped, however he always kept my dick exposed. Innocently I just thought he couldnt see my dick. However, I was getting very aroused and my dick started bouncing around and leaking cum everywhere. lol.

He concluded the massage by stimulating by nipples by caressing them with one hand and giving me hand relief with the other. It didnt take long at all the moment he grabbed my dick for me to shoot out ropes of cum, maybe less than a minute.

I kept coming around for "massages" and he kept giving them to me, each time he slowly and very strategically progressed with what he did to me, what I did to him and what we did together. In many ways it was beautiful, safe and enjoyable.

Fast forward a few months, I could come over for a quickie when he needed to fuck and I had the urge to be fucked. It got to the stage we were fucking almost once every couple of days or so. It was pretty easy back then to hook up, he lived on his own and I would sneak over to the back of his house. Most times we had sex for less than half an hour. Occassionally I would take an afternoon nap with him before heading home.

I knew he had a lot to lose if our hookups were ever found out, I think this made the sex more dangerous, exciting and enjoyable each time.

With all that said looking back maybe I was subconciously exploring.

In university lab studies going back 35 years now at least 90% of the population will have at least some sexual physiological response to both sexes based on visual stimulation only.

The taboo against same sex attraction isn't just in the Abrahamic faiths. It's in all faiths which is why it's in civil law all over the world.

Absolutely, un-fucking-believably true!
