Some folks seem to be upset by this mix - but I don't understand why? Regardless of anyone else's sexual orientation in any group that I am a member, my own orientation remains mine and is not influenced by others.

There's nothing to be upset about, but I'm wondering what 'bi-curious' means. Is it fantasy? Also, the people who said they were bi … do they have ongoing relationships with men and/or women that have an emotional component (do they have relationships with men in guy mode too, where they date in public, meet each other's families, etc), or did they have sex with a guy once or twice while they were dressed. Or, do some people think that because they fantasize about sex with men while dressed, this means they are bi?

Just saying that it's difficult to separate fantasy from real-life experience unless people are given a set of precise, measurable questions. Here's a pretty good guideline for questions if you read through: http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.ed...L-Nov-2009.pdf

On your response to me just above … I once saw a compilation of studies done throughout the world and if I recall, the estimates in the US, Canada, Netherlands, Italy, and other countries I cannot remember ranged 3%-5% fairly consistently. I can't remember if these figures included the full range of people who dress regularly and men who wear panties once in a while, or just the people who do this regularly.

If I find it again I'll post it here.
