Just a thought for those who are into computer games...... do we ever see a bisexual or gay hero/heroin?? is there something we dont know about lara croft? ......do the sims have secret bi parties? are all those macho male game icons (way too many to list) screaming out at us for cock and we are just not listening?.....
ive noticed that although stereotypically straight, not many computer game icons have expressed their sexual preference.....is this because they are ashamed and need a way to express themselves....or merely because they actually dont exist? mmm your thoughts would be appreciated

You would be happy to know that my Sims are 90% bi. I just think it's so much more fun when they aren't stuck with the same thing all the time. Most of my friends (even the straight ones) have gay/bi Sims. We all think it's just more fun.

In the first Sims game all the characters seem to be created as "straight" by default. You can get same-sex characters to become attracted to, love, and have sex with each other. But they resist pretty hard at first.

If my memory recalls correctly though, they were only really capable of being that way with one person at a time. If you tried to get them interested in someone else too, they would lose the interest they had for the previous character and/or that character would become enraged.

I spent many hours trying to see if I could make a male-male-female hot tub incident and was unable to.

Funny, we were both posting about the same game at the same time.

As I recall, characters could be bisexual, and they could be interested in more than one person, but they were jealous. No poly Sims! I tried to set up an MFF household with the Newbies and Bella Goth, but even though I could keep the F character at the point of the V interested, the other M and F's love for her always decreased when they saw her with someone else.

On the bright side, even straight Sims never seemed to be bothered if they saw same-sex affection - so long as it wasn't with someone they were interested in.

... now that I think of it, there were Sims2 ads with a character catching their partner in bed with someone else, and the options shown were something like "Shout," "Leave" ... and "Join." They didn't implement that one, though, did they?

most of the games that I've seen or played never had anything to show charactor's being bi or gay but then again most of my games are either raceing or have people getting killed so there could be some games that are not straight.

mmm I remember playing that game the sims on my friend's pc. I had one husband as a cop and the other one would stay at home and then they'd kiss and go into the heart bed.

I remember my friend had a crack on the game where you could remove the censors and that was lots of fun.
