I think there are a variety of reasons. First, this kind of thing is dependent on the actual makeup of any group (i.e. how many actual bisexual men and/or bisexual women are in a group of coworkers, forum regulars, etc.)
A factor in this would be the fact that female bisexuality is more accepted than male bisexuality. I have noticed that male sensuality is making more of an appearance in mainstream media, but it's nowhere near as accepted as mff or ff relationships. Because of this, a lot of bisexual males aren't ready to come out and deal with the repercussions of liking men and women.
I've also seen that some gay people don't see bisexuality as a "real" sexual orientation; they see either straight or gay, and nothing in between. I don't know how prevalent this is out there.
There are also still people out there who think anything other than straight attraction is sinful/disgusting/against God, etc., which causes a lot of people to hide their sexuality in general. People who've feel rejected by close family and friends are more likely to keep their sexuality secret. (For example, there are friends I have that I'm never going to let them think I'm anything but straight.) Something like this would affect both sexes, though.
As far as I'm concerned, I think I'm bisexual. I've listed myself as bicurious on here because I've never actually experienced anything more than jerking off with another man. But I have gotten off on both GLBT and straight porn and scenarios, so I'm pretty sure.

How many guys here use toys in masturbation? If you use a toy (or have used toys in the past), what toy(s) did you use? Did you like it? Did you use lube with it? (If you don't use a sex toy to masturbate, do you use lube? If so, what lube?)
I've never used sex toys to masturbate, and I don't really use lube. I have used a massage oil to jerk off before, but I didn't really like the sensation. I'm just curious what others here use. It may lead to an expansion of my current methods.Fac9AZ1jWIDfs18n

From what I was able to gather, the initial thought came when you were a teenager, which is a very normal part of growing up. Since the thought stayed with you, I would say that it crosses over into bicuriousity at least. You do sound like you're mostly straight except for this one desire, however.
The main thought to consider is the fact that sexuality is very hard to determine. Sure, we can say that the man who only wants to sleep with other men is gay, and the man who only wants to be with women is straight. But only you can determine what your sexuality is. I identify as bicurious because that's the best way that I can describe my feelings.

I love all these answers, but I KNOW I would use my knowledge for evil hahahaha.
I don't know specifically about evil, but I would feel free to use my knowledge of trends. ("Okay, I want to buy some shares of Apple and Google. Better throw in some University of Phoenix in there as well." "Okay, why don't I work on creating Facebook? I'll do everything right--no privacy concerns--and make millions!") You get the idea.

I actually got a Kindle for the holidays last year, just a basic ad-supported version. It works pretty well for basic reading, and will allow you to buy books anywhere there's a data connection; you will have to configure it to join Wi-Fi networks. (Some versions have 3G built in, which let you use a wireless network to buy books.) There's no backlight, and there aren't a whole lot of options on it, of course, but it's a great way to read books without the clutter of paper books.
More expensive Kindles have touch capabilities, keyboards, and backlights, so you can read in the dark (not recommended) and don't have to rely on physical buttons, or can type in a search easier. The full lineup is here: Scroll down for the comparisons between Kindles.
Kindle Fire is the tablet version of Kindle that has a wider selection of apps, web browsing, and so on. (The website says that all Kindles have web browsing. All Kindles except Fire tablets use an "experimental browser;" Kindle Fire uses Silk, a browser Amazon developed exclusively for Kindle Fire. Naturally, these are more expensive devices (Cheapest at $159), but they do a lot more.
If you want, there are free Kindle apps for mobile (tablets and phone), PC and Mac on the Amazon website. You can also compare Nook and Kobo with desktop apps, too, just to see which one you prefer. I've had all three on Windows computers, and they've worked well for me. I've even been able to sync my Kindle device with my Kindle apps, for the most part. (Some books I have can only be read on a PC, Mac, or Web. It depends on the book; Amazon will let you know before you buy.)
Sorry this is such a long post; I hope this information is helpful to you.

This isn't the first time I've considered this option. Like a lot of the people here, I would take the option to "reload" my life and start from 15 again, with the knowledge I have today. To put it mildly, I am not where I want to be in life, and I think a large part of that is because of decisions I've made. After all, hindsight is always 20/20.
If we were talking about "reloading" our lives with the knowledge we had at fifteen, I wouldn't do that; there's not much I could improve upon with my 15-year-old knowledge.
It does sound like it'd make an interesting story, though....

When I saw that thread, one of the first thoughts I had was the central theme of this thread. I mean, I consider myself a real writer; I take my craft seriously. In fact, part of the reason I joined Lush was to get feedback on my work, something I've been missing since my USI days. Really, the only way a person can't be a "real writer" is if they don't write anything.
This does bring up another point, however. Am I a professional writer? No. I don't get paid for my work, and I'm not submitting for publication outside of Lush at this point. (I hope to publish some novels in the future.)
Am I a good writer? That is something that I have to leave up to my readers. I can tell you my opinion of my work, of course, but a "good writer" is an opinion. For example, I could tell you that I think Stephen King, Orson Scott Card, or Justin R. Macumber are good writers, but Nicole Louise Reid, Silver Ravenwolf, or Stephanie Meyer aren't good writers. However, that's my opinion. Silver Ravenwolf and Stephanie Meyer are both bestselling authors (Silver Ravenwolf in a specific subculture, but she is well-known), while Macumber is still not very well known by comparison. (He doesn't have a big studio movie, or TV commercials like James Patterson, at least.)
