Representing Bisexuality

[Rouge]

I'm directing a calendar for 2011 which is designed to raise awareness of Bisexuality as an individual sexual preference (as a lot of people both homosexual and heterosexual view it as a phase).

I've reached a bit of a roadblock already, as I don't want to portray bisexuals as promiscuous, but still need to show three people in an image to get the attraction across.

Any ideas for showing attraction while also showing commitment?

Why three people? Or any more than two. I have been actively bi-sexual for most of my sex life and I have never been with a man and a woman at the same time. You deal with bisexuals every day and there is really nothing notable about us. Two women taking tea together. Unremarkable. The two I have in mind, however, are neighbors, wives, mothers and happen to also be lovers.

I'm doing several images with two people in them, but still need one or two with three present. If I have images of only pairs, it will become a calendar about hetero vs homosexual tenancies. Having one or two images with a three person setup will tie the ends up. It will be a mix of the same people throughout, but having one or two in 12 images with three I feel would tie it together.

Why not enlist the help of a woman friend and a man friend who will be in a picture with you--or, a stand-in for you. Position you/alternate in the center along with the woman on one side and the man on the other with your arms around their waists. That done, have them look at expectantly into your eyes.

When you are a freshman in Hi School it's a sure thing you will find another girl that you become very good friends. It gets common that you share each others clothes, confess your feelings about your thoughts about everything under the sun, while you both have a sleep over at eithers home. Ome time, while over my girlfriend house, we found a book that she had found called "The Joys of Sex", it was the pictures that caught our attention at first, guess you can imagine the impact it was having on us. As we turned the pages, there was a chapter on masturbastion. We really looked at everything, and read a lot, than we talked about it. She first asked me if I ever tried it, I said I hadn't which was the truth. She said that she had tryed a few times but really never felt anything from touching herself. Still talking, and seeing the pictures, we in our shy way began to touch ourself, but it wasn't until we were looking right in each other's eyes that we began to touch each other. That mush have been the first time I had ever had an orgasm, what was amazing is she also was having one too. After a while we cut out the light, than took off our pj's, and got into bed. We were awake all night and early morning, I remember seeing the light coming though her window. What most I remeber is how much we both enjoyed oral sex with each other, and how the feeling of an orgasm felt for each other. We ended up going though college together as roomates. Even today she lives with her husband, they have three beauiful children. We have talked a lot about what had happened, we both agree that what we have is not an attaction of Love, but rather an sexual attaction for each other. We both have been with other women, but the bottom line is that we are more attacted to Men. I don't know if anyone understands it or not. I guess you would have to walk in our shoes to enjoy the moments.

So far I have about 13 models that I'll be rotating (as it's also about diversity). Some of the images I've decided to do with a single model showing stress from family or such, and some will have all or most of the models. I'm still not sure how to portray a scene with three people without it being sexual, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
