Thoughts on bisexuality

0

There seems to be a lot of myths surrounding bisexuality, such as bisexual people can’t enjoy monogamy, they all want threesomes, they’ll definitely cheat, or that it’s not even a real sexuality to begin with. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts :)

Some people look negative upon it because they think bisexual people can't be with either a man or a woman, they think bisexual people want them both at almost all times. There are a lot of wrong thoughts about bisexuality. They are wrong. Everybody could possibly cheat, no matter which sexuality. Bisexual people can be with just a man or just a woman. It's not because they're bisexual that they 'crave' both genders all the time. I wouldn't believe those myths, they are just made up by ignorant people. To be loyal or to cheat is a personal choice that has nothing to do with your sexuality. The same goes for threesomes and other things.

I am bisexual. The stigma surrounding bisexuality is born from ignorance and prejudice the same way it does for homosexuality. It is absurd and I have little tolerance for it.

Bisexuality is real and has all the attendant feelings of mono sexuality. Individuals in those relationships have the right to choose monogamy, polyamory or whatever fulfills their needs

Everyone should have the right to be who they are, & not feel hate, discrimination or resentment for it. They should be respected, not necessarily accept by everyone.

I'm bisexual. I'm in a non-monogamous relationship.... but I'm the exception not the rule. Bisexuals are no different than straight people or gay people; we're all human and we all have different needs.

no matter what sexual preference we are all human beings, we all desire to be loved. Just because someone is bi it doesnt mean they are always going to want 3 somes or that they will cheat. All it means is that they are attracted to both men and females, but love is still love. Your sexuality isnt going to determine if your a "cheater" or not, thats a personal problem people have where they are either greedy, unhappy with their relationship but to afraid to end it, or just simply dont care about anyone but themselves... this of course is only my opinion

I am literaly doing a psychology essay on this exact issue! Research shows that in general, lesbians, gay men and heterosexuals are less willing to be in a relationship with a bisexual than to have sex with or date one casually. I think it could be that there is a threat of "double the dating pool" as in, there is a more perceived risk for a person to lose their bisexual partner to someone else because there are more dating partners to chose from for someone who is bi. Being bi myself, I think its understandable, but silly to think those things. When I am with a person, I am sexually attracted to only them, and no one else matters. I think many people are just very insecure with themselves.
