The moment your desires crystalize can be an overwhelming experience in a young gay life, especially when those desires seem to conflict. But what is bisexuality if not horniness enduring? Is there a bisexual in your life? If not, why are you on this website? If so, ask them what sparked their own bi awakening, and you’re likely to get an answer about some foundational piece of media, animated character, hot celebrity, or celestial event.
Across my own bisexual timeline, there have been many hot people who fed the eager flame of yearning burning low within me until it roared up into a blaze, consuming everything in its path. These days, we have bi-cons IRL to quench that thirst, but let’s take a dive into the watershed moments in bi history.
Well, not real bi history, because this isn’t a Jane Lynch-produced miniseries about the legacy of LGBTQ+ throughout the ages, and I wouldn’t watch that if it was! What you’ll find here instead is, mostly, a list of things that have been confusing, titillating, and devastating to your hypothetical bi friends.
These are just a few cultural phenomena that have stirred bisexual awakenings for me, according to me, but perhaps also across space and time. Because all bisexual people have the exact same experience of bisexuality with no nuance whatsoever. (This is a joke.)
