In the black community, bisexuality is controversial, especially male bisexuality. The same black women with legions of effeminate gay black male friends tend to frown or act disgusted when a handsome, masculine black man turns out to be bisexual. With just about all effeminate gay black men and heterosexual black women hating on them, is it any wonder then that most masculine bisexual black men hide? Meet some of those who don't hide. These are their stories.
Raphael Dorval woke up, and yawned before getting up. The big and tall black man, in his mid-thirties, finally got a day off from the folks at Fuseli Enterprises, where he happened to work. Raphael had been working there for six months, and he only got Sundays off. The job paid well, especially amid a crappy economy and a pandemic, but it consumed too much of his time. This didn't leave the brother much time to have a life, or time for anything else. A lot of brothers Raphael's age have wives and families, but Raphael is all by his lonesome.
At a certain point in life, a man changes and wants different things. Raphael was born on the island of Haiti, specifically the town of Jacmel, and he and his family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a long time ago. Raphael attended Miami Dade College and Florida State University, graduating with a degree in commerce. Raphael had a great time during his college years, enjoying himself with the ladies...and some fellas as well. While attending FSU, Raphael met a lady named Jasmine Joseph, a tall and curvy, dark-skinned Haitian gal whom he grew quite fond of.
Raphael and Jasmine dated for a while, and as they finished university, the lady wanted to get married but Raphael had cold feet. Jasmine ended up leaving Raphael, and she moved to the City of Atlanta, Georgia, where she met a fellow named Travis Xavier and got married. Raphael would regret not marrying Jasmine for a long time, but he was quite confused about whom and what he wanted back in their college days.
"Raphael, I know you're bi and it doesn't bother me, but I want a firm commitment," Jasmine told him, three days after their graduation from Florida State University. Raphael and Jasmine were dining inside Caribbean Vibe, a neat little restaurant located not far from their old campus. On that day, Jasmine looked gorgeous in a red turtleneck shirt, black jeans and sneakers. Jasmine reminded Raphael of Hollywood actress Garcelle Beauvais, whom he had a crush on back in the day.
"Jasmine, I love you but let's not rush things, let's move in together first," Raphael suggested, and Jasmine closed her eyes, hard. The young Haitian American woman looked both sad and disappointed, and Raphael realized he'd said the wrong thing. Raphael loved Jasmine, and cherished every moment with her. The gal was fine, sexy and fun, and he enjoyed having sex with her. Raphael couldn't imagine a future without his beloved Jasmine, but he just didn't feel like rushing things. Why couldn't Jasmine understand that?
"I can't do this," Jasmine said, and she looked at Raphael, and shook her head firmly. Raphael tried to placate her but to no avail. Jasmine got up and stormed out of the Caribbean Vibe restaurant, causing a big scene. Raphael couldn't believe it. Jasmine walked out of the restaurant and out of his life. Seriously, when he tried to call her later to apologize or whatever, she ignored his calls. Two weeks after the restaurant incident, Jasmine Joseph accepted a position with Warner Bank Limited in the City of Atlanta, and left the state of Florida forever. How about that?
Raphael missed Jasmine for a long time, and thought of her as the one who got away. In later years, Raphael dated a few ladies, and had a few relationships. He had a few sexual encounters with men as well. Raphael considers himself bisexual, something which his conservative Haitian parents Andre Dorval and Geraldine Dorval had come to grudgingly accept. Raphael doesn't date men, though. Among gay men and bisexual men, things work a bit differently.
In every village, every town and every city on the planet Earth, gay men and bisexual men walk around making a specific type of eye contact with other men. When they look into the eyes of straight men, they don't see the type of recognition that they're used to seeing when dealing with a kindred spirit, so they keep walking. When gay men and bisexual men make eye contact with another male who also likes men, then they know what they're dealing with, for the other fellow acknowledges their presence/existence, and a sexual encounter usually follows.
For the most part, gay men and bisexual men don't bother with dating when dealing with other men. They spot someone, they make eye contact, and then they hook up in the nearest bathroom, in the bushes, in a storage closet, or wherever available. No names, no condoms, no lasting connection beyond some quick sex, and that's that. This is what ninety nine percent of gay men and bisexual men seek when dealing with other men. They are basically a bunch of sex-crazed stalkers who crave dick and will do anything to get it, regardless to the risk to their health, their freedom, or their very lives. The other one percent pair up, start families, and buy houses in the suburbs and become your affable neighbors who happen to be in a same-sex relationship. It really is that simple.
Raphael isn't like the other bisexual men out there who lie about who and what they are, and put themselves and their wives/girlfriends at risk by prowling around looking for anonymous sex with male strangers. Raphael likes to date a woman, and then, when things get serious, he tells her that he's bisexual. As can be expected, a lot of women thank Raphael for his honesty and then promptly leave him. As previously stated, the same women who have tons of effeminate, stereotypical gay male friends tend to get really intolerant when they find out that a masculine man whom they are interested in is actually bisexual. Welcome to Raphael's world.
On that day, Raphael took a walk around his neighborhood with his dog Clarinet, a feisty little Jack Russell Terrier. As Raphael walked around, he saw a tall, attractive Hispanic woman with dark hair jogging. The lady looked fine, and her big ass looked ready to burst out of her shiny Yoga pants. Raphael checked out the lady's fine ass as she jogged past him, and smiled. Raphael has always liked a woman with a thick ass, and that's not going to change anytime soon.
Raphael kept on walking, and as he reached the park, he sensed that someone was looking at him. Raphael spotted a skinny older white male with a bad haircut and a bright red coat standing some distance away with his pet Chihuahua. The dude was pretending to look at his phone while glancing in Raphael's direction. Translation? Creepy old white dude on the prowl, in cruising mode, and this one probably has a fetish for black men. What's Raphael to do under the circumstances? Avoid the bozo!
