Question: My husband likes watching the TV show, "Torchwood" all the time because of all of the guys kissing and having sex. Do you think this means he's bi-curious?
Answers:
Mr. Know: Never doubt women's intuition. If you're even asking the
question, your subconscious has already answered. The question is, do
you want to confront him or not? If you don't want to confront him,
look for the signs such as flinging of the wrist, listening to the
Village People's YMCA (I like that song and I'm not gay, so maybe not).
See if he's sneaking off with the guys - I'm not trying to make you
paranoid here, but
lots of macho-like married guys do run off with their boyfriends. Good luck and Godspeed.
Ms. Mystery: It sounds like he may be bi-curious. Because he watches the show openly, he mostly likely is open to a discussion about it with you. You two are married so you should be able to discuss anything. Have you see the movie "In and Out"? Does your husband listen to show tunes? Is he really into the clothing you wear? Either ask him straight out of he's bi, or stay back and watch our for other clues. Trust your instincts.


I'm sorry...I kind of find the responses offensive. I mean, I like show toons, fling my wrists and pay attention to aesthetics...but I'm no bisexual. I think stereotyping these things is offensive and hurts people. I lived in an area heavily Christian for a while and people assumed I was bi or gay and because of that I got a lot of persecution.
She should definitely talk to her husband, but who really cares if he is bi? Just because he is doesn't mean he's going to cheat on her, I mean, what's wrong with it if he stays true to her? When she talks to her husband it's really important to be understanding with him, she should trust what he tells her. If he tells her he is not bi or gay then she should believe him until there's irrefutable evidence to the contrary, and if he says he is than she should be understanding. I mean, according to Kinsey most people are somewhat bi.
---Reply from Ms. Mystery and Mr. Know: Hey, we have lots of gay friends and the ones we know love to 'act gay' and are proud to be gay. However that could be taken as a stereotype by some people and certainly doesn't apply to everyone. Many gay guys don't act gay and many straight guys are effeminate perhaps because they were surrounded by women as they grew up. This woman's husband wasn't acting gay or effeminate, but was actually interested in the act so there may be a little more there for her to worry about. Who knows?
