I have another “problem” if you should call it that. I’m bi and I try really hard not to be the bi cliché everyone has in their heads. I have no preference that leans to either side and that coupled with high drive means monogamy is not my preference. I will say that if I know I’m in an episode or unstable in any way I avoid acting on it.

Thank you for your reply, Random - and welcome to the forum! I see you're up north - there are only a very, very few of us on PST here I think the only mind state that will destroy my sense of sexuality is severe anxiety/worry. But that kills my appetite, my creativity, and about everything else I am.

I have never had a bona-fide sexual relationship with a woman, but at one point in my life I was deeply in love with a woman, and she with me. I have many times when I very much regret having left her. She used to ask a mutual friend about me for years after I left her. Every time he told me she'd asked after me my heart ached.

What is a "bi cliche" to you?
