Why Do So Many Escorts Label Themselves Bisexual?

Is it because bisexual individuals being attracted to more genders are more free sexually and so more likely to be attracted to escorting, or is it more of a marketing strategy to say you are bisexual and appeal to more clients?

 

And would you think that most of these escorts are significantly bisexual in their private lives or mainly attracted to one gender?

I do not know how many, but I tend to think that the few or the many who declare themselves bi do so because they are bi.

Being homo or hetero or bi has nothing to do with sexual freedom. You can be hetero and a kinky nasty sexually experimenting motherfucker; just as you can be homo or bi and a conventional, moralist, prudish, narrow minded son of a bitch. Gay is not always good.

How many is "so many"--enough that you notice or enough that it's truly a large %? In surveys of gay men, it's not usual to find that 5-10% have had sex with a woman in the past year. Among African-American and Hispanic men, the it's often more like 15-20%

 

And what's your expectation of escorts? A reasonably successful one is likely to have a sex drive and sense of sexual adventure that is beyond that of the average gay man, and probably the modal client.

 

So....if 5-10% of escorts say they're bi and the % is a bit higher among Black or Hispanic guys, it's pretty normal and a bit higher on either score shouldn't be much of a surprise.

I for one don't care; I prefer them to label themselves "Sexual" the rest is just labels.

We are different. It matters to me.

Indeed we are different and we celebrate that.

However we exchange ideas, feelings, outlooks, cosmovisions, etc., hopefully to learn from each other, about others and about ourselves. When several people are telling you that you may not looking at reality through the right lenses, maybe it is an opportunity to question yourself.

Simplistic labels like homo, hetero, and bi are useful to make sense of reality, just not the best sense. If you can free yourself from them, you may learn a lot not only about others' sexuality but specially about your own.

Ah but I don't look at things that way. Evolutionarily we are designed to classify, to discriminate (in its non pejorative sense) one thing from another, one kind from another. We are biologically programmed to determine what is like us and what is different, what is likely harmful, beneficent, or neutral. Without that ability we as a species would never have survived. While in today's world it might not be as helpful in the past, I submit the ability still often serves a useful purpose.

 

While keeping your head when all around you are losing theirs may mean you haven't grasped the situation, the person with the minority view is not always wrong. The Ancient Greeks considered the natural state of a body to be at rest. We in our infinite wisdom take the reverse view that the natural state of a body is to be in motion unless acted on by external forces. My physics teacher taught that the Greeks weren't necessarily wrong. We just look at the situation in a different way now. Sexual attraction/classification is another subject where it is possible to have differences of opinion. While most of the comments currently have been for an opinion different than my own, I know that there are other contributors from previous discussions who have views more like mine. Selah!

You got a point, not always majority is right. I would just argue here (although it is inconsequential to determine who is right or wrong) that you hold the mainstream point of view. Most people tend to simplify reality as you do.

You have another point, we are programmed to classify and categorize in order to make sense of reality. Not argument here, the disagreement is on those categories. I think that classifying human sexuality in homo/hetero/bi is misleading and empoverishing, that our desire is much more fluid than a solid binary system. In my opinion sexuality has a too heavy subjective component to be understood through objective categories. Better than "understood", to be "experienced".

Ahh but in my case, I am only gay. So the common classification system models my reality.

I always wonder WHY people are so obsessed with what OTHERS are ? If you are comfortable being who you are, why worry about anyone else. If you are that hung up on labels, you will never really be able to make a meaningful connection with anyone, because there might always be a smidgen of disapproval. As for hiring, as I said before, if the escort will provide you what you request, what difference does his sexual identification make ? For the most part, hiring is a fantasy anyway, so just conjure up your own image of him and have your violent Orgasm !

But that does not give you the right to question others self-identification. If the escorts say they are bisexual, take their word.

 

I am not questioning everyone's sexuality. What I am questioning, at times, is something that may be a marketing ploy. If truth were always told in ads, then Hooboy would never have needed to start either the Review Site or the Forum. In fact if ads were always 100% accurate, almost all of The Deli and much of the Ask An Escort Sections would be eliminated. I'm fine if you want to believe all ads 100% of the time. Please be fine with me if there are ads I have questions on.

Gar, the truth is that you'll really never have the answers to your questions.... People will always tell you only what they want to tell you, and what they think will work for the particular situation. That's why God gave us "gut feelings" Trust your gut !
