Can a marriage work if one partner is gay and the other straight?

As a romantic relationship, obviously no; both people would eventually feel disastisfied about their emotional/sexual needs not being met in the fuller sense. People can't successfully change or supress their sexual orientation. It's a even worse situation if the homosexual partner lies to the other person about their true sexual preferences and pretends to be straight, or vice versa.As an marriage based soley on friendship and for legal benefits, it could possibly work. Both people might consider the marriage 'open' in that they are legally married, but are platonic with each other and sexually involved with outside people. How well this would work long term is debateable.AnswerDepends on your definition of gay and straight. Some people define as exclusive attraction, so if you're gay and attracted to even one person of the opposite sex that makes you bisexual. Other people would say it would require being attracted to more than just a few people before one is considered bisexual, and gay and straight people like that would be called homoflexible and heteroflexible, respectively. Going by the first definition obviously it can't work, but with the second definition if the only opposite sex person the gay person is attracted to is his/her spouse it could work. Similarly, if the only same-sex person the straight person is attracted to is his/her spouse it could work.


If you are not gay or heterosexual or bisexual what else can you be?

There are many sexual orientations. Here is a list of orientations provided by another contributor: A Abrosexual - An individual that has a fluid and/or rapidly changing sexuality that fluctuates between different sexualities. Aceflux - How asexual you feel tends to flux in and out in intensity. Some days you may feel apathetic toward sex, then others you might feel entirely sex-repulsed, and some days you like sex. Aegosexual - Autchorissexuality (also known as Aegosexuality) is a sub-section of asexuality. It refers to asexual people who still have a sex drive (and may still, despite their lack of sexual attraction, enjoy consuming sexually explicit content and/or masturbation and/or sexual fantasies). Akoisexual - Experiencing sexual attraction but having the feelings fade after the feelings are reciprocated. Akoisexual can also be further defined as not caring if the feelings of sexual attraction are reciprocated or not. Aliquasexual - Someone who does not normally experience sexual/romantic attraction but does on occasion or under specific circumstances. It falls under the gray-a umbrella, and refers to a specific experience, like Demisexual and Lithsexual. Allosexual - Allosexual is a term used most commonly in the asexual community to refer to someone who is not asexual. Someone who is Allosexual is someone who experiences sexual attraction. Antisexual - An asexual that is not interested in sex/sexual attraction at all. Has no desire to be in any type of sexual relationship whatsoever. Apothisexual - Someone who identifies as asexual and is sex repulsed. Apressexual - Only experiencing attraction after another form of attraction is felt. The attraction originally felt may or may not fade away over time, the new attraction replacing it. Asexual - Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or absent interest in sexual activity. It may be considered the lack of a sexual orientation. Autosexual - Autosexual is a term that describes a person that is sexually attracted to themself. Masturbation does not automatically make a person autosexual, just as having sex doesn't make a person sexual. B Biflux - Bisexuals/Biromantics that feel that their attraction fluctuates between genders. Bisexual - Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior toward both males and females. Boreasexual - An orientation that seems to revolve around one person in particular, or an exception to one's orientation, ie, someone who identifies as homosexual/homoromantic feeling attraction to someone of a different gender. In that case, it would be borearomantic/sexual towards someone. C Ceasesexual - Ceaseromantic/sexual is when one briefly switches from Alloromantic/Allosexual to Ace/Aro, although they are more often Allo than not. Cupiaflux - Desiring and/or liking the idea of a relationship (sexual or romantic) but level of attraction/desire for the relationship fluctuating. Cupiosexual - An extension of the asexual spectrum in which one desires a sexual relationship, but feels no sexual attraction towards anyone. D Demisexual - Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which someone feels sexual attraction only to people with whom they have an emotional bond. Demisexuals are characterized by a lack of sexual attraction toward any person unless they become deeply emotionally or romantically connected with a specific person or persons. The level of connection it takes for sexual desire to form is dependent on how close the relationship is rather than initial attraction. It is an orientation that is not chosen. Demisexuality does not refer to the active restraint or repression of sexual desires or actions. F Fictosexual - Fictosexuality is the sexual attraction towards fictional characters. Finsexual - Fin(sexual, romantic, etc.) stands for Feminine In Nature, which references feminine nonbinary people and feminine peeps who ID male, and is attraction to people that are feminine (by their own definition). Fixesexual - A sexual orientation where the person is rarely attracted to anyone sexually, but when they are attracted they become obsessed with that person. Fraysexual - Someone who is only sexually/romantically attracted to someone that they are less familiar with, and lose interest when they get to know the person. G Gay - Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. In modern English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to the people, especially to gay males, and the practices and cultures associated with homosexuality. By the end of the 20th century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex. Gray-Asexual - Gray asexuality, or gray-sexuality (sometimes spelled grey), is the concept and community of individuals falling under the "ace umbrella," or in the spectrum between identifying as asexual and engaging in sexual activity. Due to the wide range of this spectrum, gray asexuality encompasses a variety of individuals under the "ace umbrella." Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A, a grace or a gray ace. Within this spectrum includes terms such as "hyposexual", "demisexual", "semisexual", "low sexual intensity", "asexual-ish" and "sexual-ish". Those who identify as gray-A tend to lean toward the more asexual side of the aforementioned spectrum. H Heteroflexible - Heteroflexibility is a form of a sexual orientation or situational sexual behavior characterized by minimal homosexual activity in an otherwise primarily heterosexual sexual orientation that is considered to distinguish it from bisexuality. It has been characterized as "mostly straight". A person who identifies as a heterosexual, but is not afraid to explore curiosity towards the same sex. A primarily straight individual who, in certain situations can find persons of the same sex appealing. Homoflexible - Being mostly attracted (both emotionally and physically) to the same sex, but can, on occasion be attracted to the opposite sex. This is different from Bisexuality because you are attracted to both sexes equally in bisexuality, but if you are homoflexible, you are drawn more to the same sex. Describes someone attracted primarily to members of the same sex (homosexual), but occasionally attracted to members of the opposite sex AND/OR able to derive pleasure from romantic encounters with members of the opposite sex.

How can i tell if i am bisexual?

Being bisexual means you are attracted to both sexes physically and emotionally. If you date both guys and girls and could see yourself being with either one of them than you are most likely bisexual.Some people claim to be bisexual, but say they are more into one sex than the other. For example, a girl saying that she is bi, but like boys more. There is a debate as to if this is truly being bisexual, since most take bisexual to mean that one is attracted to both sexes equally, thus usually people taking the latter position are known to be bi-curious (attracted to the opposite sex but willing to experiment/have a relationship with the same sex) or homoflexible (attracted to the same sex but willing to experiment/have a relationship with the opposite sex).Others claim to be bisexual because they haven't quite worked up the courage to come out as gay. This is OK, as it takes time to work out your sexual orientation properly.One of the ways to find out if you're bisexual is to experiment by being with both sexes and see if you have a preference. There are also the Kinsey and Klein scale that rate peoples sexual orientation, but these aren't perfect solutions. Basically, there isn't an experiment or test that will give you a definite answer, you'll have to judge for yourself based on your feelings and experiences which sex you prefer.Sometimes you don't know what you are and that is okay to. You really need to find out what you are . Your friends will understand, so don't be scared to tell them.AnswerYou feel naturally attracted to both men and women. If you find yourself sexually attracted to both men and women, its a good sign that you are bisexual. If you fantasize about being with people of both sexes, you could well be bisexual. One of the problems with our culture is that we insist on labelling people. There is a range of sexual attraction between exclusively straight and exclusively gay, with the majority of people being somewhere in between.You are in love with both men and woman and want to have sex with them as wellI knew it when I discovered that I loved my wife and I like to have sex with my male friend. - You know that you are bisexual when you are sexually attracted to both genders. People who are heterosexual are attracted sexually to the other gender. And a person who is homosexual is sexually attracted to someone of the same gender. To know if you are bisexual, or anything else, simply ask yourself whether you attracted to the same gender, both genders, or the other gender.You may be bisexual if you have equal feelings and attraction to males and females. There is no definitive test to take. It is up to you.1. You will love a boy back.2. You will start to notice flaws on both genders and probably feel edgy around them.3. You will probably fantasize about kissing a boy and a girl.well it's when your attracted to both men and women. generally you will be more attracted to one of the sex's though.Pretty much the same way you can tell if you are a boy, or a girl, or alive. The major difference is that you do not get to choose your gender or whether or not you exist; you had little to do with the decision making process. However, when it comes to choosing, you may choose to reassign your gender (physically or by appearance, and neither of these changes genetics--born a boy, remain a boy regardless of what you do surgically or chemically)--you may choose to stop living. Just as you may choose to engage in sexual relations with the opposite and same gender.Congratulations?You can tell if you are bi-sexual if you are attracted to both genders. You feel naturally attracted to both men and women, sexually, romantically, and emotionally.If you enjoy having sex with men and women, and would continue to have sex with both throughout your life. Sexuality has the capability to change, and it's definitely OK to experiment to find out how you really feel about it. Chances are if you fantasize about men and women sexually, you're probably bi, but you could be Bi-Curious and find out your mostly straight too. Bi-Curious and Bi-Sexual are really two different things. Being Bi-Curious means you are (well) curious. You desire to know what sex is like between same and opposite sexes.More importantly than labeling yourself or someone else with being gay, or straight, or bisexual is to be comfortable with yourself. Whatever you are, you are, and you cannot change how others see you. Neither should you want to change how they see you, because they aren't the ones who have to live your life, you are.Some straight people have gay fantasies, and the opposite goes for gay people. However, you have to distinguish between fantasy and attraction. If you get attracted without have those fantasy thoughts, than you probably like the gender. Of course, its common to have a crush on one person of the gender you don't like if you're close to them, and as a teenager, its also very common to develop a crush on an older person of the gender you're not attracted to, most commonly a teacher.Truly the only way to know if you are Bi-Sexual is over time through experience. In time chances will happen that you may be sexually active with the same sex and the opposite sex. If you enjoy both and sex with the same sex is as appealing to you as sex with the opposite sex, then you know you are bi-sexual. If one or the other repulses you are you don't find the same pleasure and enjoyment as the other, then you are either straight or gay.My advice is to give it time. Don't rush into sex too early or have sex just to find out the answer. Be yourself and love yourself for who you are. The answer will come to you in time. Right now you are just curious and exploring your sexuality is a natural thing. Do it slowly and find yourself that way. No one can answer this completely except for yourself. You will know in time.You know if your bi if you are turned on by both male and femaleAnswerIf you have a sexual attraction to both men and women, then chances are your bisexual.
