I think what Dom is trying to convey about sexuality and bisexuality is... pretty much the opposite of the assumptions you have just made. I see sexuality as a very very broad, multi-dimentional spectrum. Anyone can be attracted to a man or a woman, tall or short, thin or obese, blonde or ginger, or anything in between any of those. How LIKELY you're going to be attracted to any of those depends entirely on your preferences, but even those are fluid. If you meet the right person, it really doesn't matter if you previously considered yourself straight or gay or whatever other labels people choose for themselves, all of that tends to generally fly out the window, unless you're really stubborn or thick headed and let the opportunity pass you by because they happen to be the wrong gender (or the wrong height, or have the wrong hair color, or have a disability or an oddity, or whatever.) In Dennis's case, he's not labeling himself, which I really admire Dom for trying to convey. He likes girls, as in he has been attracted to girls and likes sex with girls and if he met the right girl could spend the rest of his life with her and be happy, but that doesn't, in any way, shape or form, undermine his attraction to or relationship with Travis. He certainly wouldn't leave Travis, the individual, for the generic concept of "female" just because it would be "easier," as you seem to be suggesting. If humans chose who to date based on what's "easier," I don't think anyone would have romantic relationships at all. Now, if there was another character, say a chick named Emily, who completely swept Dennis off his feet and made him forget all about Travis, then yeah, sure, he could leave Travis for a girl. But then it wouldn't be a case of Dennis leaving Travis for a girl, it would be a matter of Dennis leaving Travis for Emily, who happens to be a girl. See what I mean? In the same way, I don't see Dennis being a "top" or a "bottom" as an exclusive label. Maybe, with Travis, he likes to bottom. How does that mean he wouldn't be able to enjoy sex with a girl? I don't think it would even remotely imply that he would "miss" what a guy can do to him and a girl can't. There is certainly a lot a girl can do for him that a guy wouldn't be able to, and that's not stopping him from dating Travis, either. It could be equally possible that in the future he would date a guy that he really loves to top with. (Not to mention, if he got married and had a couple of kids, why COULDN'T his wife put on a strap-on and satisfy that craving for him, if he indeed had it?) Basically, I see sexual attraction as being much broader than you've classified it to be, but relationships are ultimately interactions between individuals. Dennis's and Travis's relationship is an interaction between Dennis and Travis, and really, for this story, I don't think any other attractions they have or have had or will have in the future really are going to change that. (though they certainly could add interesting plot twists.) Edit: I just read Kevin's (AFriendlyFace) reply and found that he said exactly what I'm trying to say but much much much more eloquently.
