For what it's worth, I feel as if I was male for the majority of my incarnations.
I think bisexuality could be seen as perhaps the kid of heterosexuality and homosexuality. When you get into bisexuality, in my opinion, you've moved into a different area. I see it as more of an expansion than an suppression, though I don't think by being one or the other you are necessarily suppressed, more free, better or worse in some way.
Looking at it from another viewpoint, different people are just wired differently. We begin to be programmed from birth as to what traits are attractive to us, based on our parents, what social stereotypes were imprinted upon us, possible past life influences, cultural references, etc. I'm highly attracted to the Asian race, likely because I spent a ton of incarnations in Eastern cultures. I would bet that if a male was raised amongst a lot of feminine presences, especially if a dominant male figure was absent, they would be more likely to take on feminine/receptive traits, which *could* be a contributing factor to bi/homosexuality. And there's a million other examples, I'm sure.
I suppose different things work for different people, but if something like gender really doesn't matter to a person, I at least see it as a sign of open-mindedness. I can't see anything *bad* coming from any kind of love, though with all the cultural stereotypes (gay people go to hell) being pressed down upon us, I can certainly see how it could cause severe blockage in the chakras.
Gribbons, I don't see my inability to have sex with all of my friends (and/or everyone in general) as an inhibiting factor in our relationships. I don't feel like I need to have sex with them in order for our interactions to be fulfilling. However, the sexual energies that often arise are easily noticed, and I'm not going to try to pretend I don't feel it out of embarrassment. (I'm not sure I even interpreted your post correctly...sorry if I am off.)
Eddie...a sun in an Ahktu costume. ROFL. That's a great way of putting it. I guess I really should get a firmer grip on the hose. It's all about the hand placement. XD
