"And I can find things I like about male bodies. Like, they're very warm. I love it when you get under the covers with a man and he warms you up. But that's when the lesbian voice comes into my head and says, 'But are you attracted to men? Or do you just like being warm?'

"My attraction to women is very different. I look at a beautiful woman and it's just like, Oh nooooo. You're gorgeous, you're beautiful... This is going to destroy me!

"You know, it can actually be painful how beautiful a woman is. I've never once been in pain over male beauty. But around Joanne, once I was open about my feelings and things got bad, there'd be moments I'd have to just look away from her and be like, 'Don't even enter my line of sight right now, you're too beautiful, I can't stand it.'"

ahahaha I like 'how painfully beautiful someone is' as a measure. I am definitely bisexual by that measure. I've seen quite a few people who were so beautiful they made me cry (but then I cry easy).

I like everything about your comment. I'm not sure I've ever cried over sheer overwhelming personal beauty, but I have *definitely* cried because someone was nice to me at the grocery store, or there were some babies playing with each other, or what-have-you. Bisexual easy criers unite!

Huh. I find it fascinating that she conflates that kind of appreciation for beauty with sexual attraction. I feel that kind of awe of some people's beauty and, holy wow, that does NOT incline me to want to do them. Quite to the contrary, I find it a buzzkill, to put it mildly. It makes me want to escape their presence, with all haste, so I can enjoy it platonicly from a safe distance, in very small doses.
