Oh maybe, oh maybe lie down.

Polyshamory: They go with with anyone they like, but curiously veto their partner(s)' choices every time. Except of course with the hypothetical or unattainable. A slightly less extreme version is to only allow them to be with people less attractive than they perceive themselves to be.

Fauxsexual: Kisses the same sex in public, wouldn't give them head in private with a gun to their heads. Someone who gives bis a bad rep with gays.

Update: You're all about the poofterism, but not one comment about polyshamory?

What do you call someone who'd snog same-sex in public and thinks they'd *like* to give head in private [no gun needed] but hasn't had the opportunity thus far?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I have encountered many of the latter at various gigs and clubs and they make me want to stab indiscriminately. Especially the ones who turn out to be hitting on you to amuse their boyfriend. *growl*

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Unlucky. ;)

[baljemmett.livejournal.com]

Maybi-in-waiting? [Although the pronounciation has to be all over the place... Oh, never mind.]

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

Bicurious. I like bicurious people.Especially bicurious women. Convincing them can be so much fun! *grin*

[miss-soap.livejournal.com]

Lesbi-in-waiting doesn't work either, from a technical perspective, although the pronunciation is better. Ah well.

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Excessively patient?

[miss-soap.livejournal.com]

You see, I *hate* that word. It smacks, to me, of fauxmosexuality.

[miss-soap.livejournal.com]

Nice icon.

[cookwitch.livejournal.com]

*nods*

Thankfully none of them have ever actually tried to hit on me. This might be beause I have been Otherwise Engaged at the tme with a real woman.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

Toaster oven.

[aidan-skinner.livejournal.com]

Monogamous?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Bleh, no one tries that NOW, of course. In fact, no one hits on me full stop because I look like I was rolled out of half-raised dough and peppered with squid. Not Nice.

[reddragdiva]

Bisexual who hasn't had the chance yet.

[aidan-skinner.livejournal.com]

(and faithful, since I suppouse being 'monogamous' doesn't actually imply that you don't give head to others in private, just that you're not suppoused too. or something. arrrgh. GIN!)

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I've never been a fan of that word. It makes it sound ... I don't know, like somehow being bi is weird or deviant or whatever, and applying it seems unnecessary - either you don't know if you fancy women, in which case you're probably *not*, or you do fancy them and you ARE, regardless of whether you've had the chance to do anything about it, you know? I don't like the idea of making orientation about action other than attraction. Otherwise we'd all be asexual until we lost our virginity, and ... I'm sure you can see the flaw in that argument!

... woo, pet peeve there. :D

[h-i-p-p-y.livejournal.com]

I usually just use the term 'not fussed', or maybe 'open to all' or in my case 'it has legs, I'm easy...' and in the case of a friend of a friend, 'never mind how many legs... I'm in!!!'.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Ditto!

[markeris.livejournal.com]

"I don't like the idea of making orientation about action other than attraction. Otherwise we'd all be asexual until we lost our virginity"

indeed. It also precludes that following action having decided that said action is in fact, definitely not for you, that it`s too late and you`ve already defined your sexuality.

[reddragdiva]

You have a wery sexy brane. And you put up the photo yourself proving you're pretty.

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

I did hate it, until someone asked me pretty much the same as you asked above. It seems there isn't a better word, and the fauxmosexuals should just be labelled accurately :-)

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

I would agree with you - except for how it was phrased. Someone who knows they fancy people of their own gender is Bi, but the phrase was "thinks they'd *like* to give head in private". That implies a question in their own minds.

[faerierhona.livejournal.com]

See comment below on why I used that word - and I absolutely agree with you

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Excellent point. Sometimes it's the unsatisfactory nature of relations with one sex that makes you realise that there are other options.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Mmm, true, but it would also suggest they're leaning pretty heavily towards bi anyway. And not everyone likes giving head full stop.
