The Kinsey scale describes a continuum between complete heterosexuality at one end and complete homosexuality at the other. Per Kinsey, the sex researcher who proposed this idea, each person falls somewhere along this continuum. The further one is from the the heterosexual end, the more likely he is willing to engage in a bisexual encounter. I think a person's Kinsey rating is relevant. In another discussion, I recall a contribution from a sub who has no bisexual interest. He does not enjoy the idea of sex with a man in itself. However, he enjoys being ordered to have sex with a man since he sees it as an expression of dominance and submission, much like he might enjoy being ordered to something else. I imagine in his case, bisexuality is not a limit (which may be related with his Kinsey rating) and so, while he does not enjoy sexual contact with men, he can engage in this activity. Thus, I think that forced bisexuality is not always driven by an interest that seeks permission or justification to overcome societal pressures. I think also relevant is the reason why one does not wish to engage in sexual acts with men. I recall a discussion elsewhere that polled male subs what they would rather do, kiss a man or suck a man. The responses suggested to me that how each felt was affected by what was a greater boundary or source of distress for each: submission to another man or intimacy with another man. Depending on how the act is framed, the act can have a flavor of intimacy or submission. Cheers, Sea
