    Opening up to others that you are bisexual IMO is harder for others to understand than coming out and stating that you are gay. There was a time in my life that I would not condone it so I understand thus why I've kept my sexual relations with partners pretty much to myself other than my present wife whom is also bisexual. We have a loving married couple (M/F) we share our bedroom with and our relationship between the four of us is pretty much like we all have three spouses. Very open, honest, trusting, and most of all very sexual. We're all very, very happy with each other.

    I’m very closeted about my bisexuality. I know my close catholic family would never accept it. My wife is on the same boat. At this point in my life, I’ve built so much that I’m afraid of rocking the boat. I rather keep it a secret.

    Wow, at least we are not alone in our closets. Sure we'd all like to be open with friend's & family. Saddly it would make our lives much less comfortable, and with very little gain.

    My wife knows, does not approve. For the most part i behave myself. Also my local Mormon church is a big part of my life. So if im honest with them on my views i will be asked to leave.

    They are not mean, this just doesn't fit with their view.

    The door is absolutely closed. Pretty much everyone I know would disown me, and I have some Jesus Freaks in the family. No one else I know is bisexual, or at least willing to admit it.

    At least she didn't totally reject you when you told her you enjoy having a hard dick in your mouth.
    Have you thought about possibly including your wife in your bisexual activities? Maybe she feels "left out."

    When I was maybe 15 or 16, I got fed up with having to hide my sexuality or it came out into the open and people giving me shit about it so I stopped caring who knew that I went both ways because I realized that all they could do was not like it and no matter what they had to say, it changed nothing: I was still very much bisexual and happily so. I'm not going to run around telling "everybody" that I'm bi - but I don't hide that I am and if you ask, I'll tell you and if it upsets you, well, now you know why I said to not ask me questions you didn't want to hear the answers to. And I recognized a long time ago that while there are people who need to know, there are many more who just do not need to know and they should mind their own business.

    My wife knows my thoughts and fantasies when it comes to my bisexuality. She knows about my first that happened before I met her but that is it. She doesn't know I still play when the opportunity comes up.

    Only a couple close friends for personal. The spouse of the first woman I told found out by accident,finding my profile, as he is bi. But we don't get along like that, sadly.

    I've told a few of the different mental health providers I've seen. It was scary telling a man for the first time, one of the providers. It's seemed safer and easier telling women?
    I did befriend a guy online guessed he was bi/pan,told him my full name though he saw my photos. Sadly it fizzled.

    I doubt I will ever tell my family. I do plan to tell my child when they are old enough, so they will know I support them, no matter what!

    The only people that know are the guys I have had sex with. My wife would never understand, there is no way to have that conversation with friends without her finding out.

    It would ruin me if it got out I was having an affair with another guy. Walking a tightrope is difficult but it's been worth it. We have dynamite sex whenever we get together.

    My wife knows, and we fantasize about me being with a guy a lot, so she's very accepting of the idea. As far as I know, no one else knows. Including my exes.

    I've never engaged with another guy, but my girlfriend knows my urges and feelings about experiencing same sex for the first time. That's where it ends though.

    Only my partners know. That's enough for me.

    To expand on this, it would be purely sexual and chill. Nothing romantic.

    My wife knows because I was not careful enough with my online activity. She took it quite well all things considered. She turned out to be quite open minded and is now very supportive of my attraction towards men. Her openess however stops at me meeting a man in real life. I hope she will change her mind one day.

    Only the partners I have met know. Family dynamics tend to be more on the conservative side (except for my wife up until recently) and their feelings on the subject are quite well-known.
