Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
Being an openly bisexual female has exposed me to some frustratingly common stereotypes and misconceptions about my sexuality. For years I never labeled myself as a certain sexual orientation because I didn't feel I needed it and people didn't take me seriously until I came out as bisexual. After that the next five things were common as "hello" to my ears. So my goal with this is to try and shut down some of the things I hear almost on a weekly basis and a lot more online.
1. Bisexual people are all greedy sluts
Just because we have "more" options does not mean we are automatically more promiscuous. Stop assuming that a sexual orientation has an effect over how promiscuous a person is because there's simply no reason to do so. There are plenty of promiscious people who would never dream of sleeping with someone of the same sex. By thinking this way you're limiting your options when it comes to your sexual partners which is what people seem to complain about in the first place.
2. Being with a bisexual person automatically means threesomes
Not all bisexual people want a MMF or FFM threesome. Don't assume we do, it can feel quite degrading. I cannot count the amount of times people have said things like "Oh sweet, that means we can have another girl in the bedroom". No it does not. Just because someone is bisexual does not automatically mean they are open to threesomes whenever regardless of relationship status. I'm sure some are, but so are some straight people, gay people and all kinds of people from all different sexual orientations. Don't assume it means three in the bed.
3. Bisexual people aren't good with commitment or will never be happy in a monogomous relationship
Being bisexual doesn't make any difference when it comes to cheating. Straight people cheat all the damn time. It also doesn't mean that they will be unhappy without an variety of genitalia for them to use and abuse whenever. Just like any other relationship between two people whether it be a hetero or homosexual relationship cheating is a possibility, being bisexual has nothing to do with how much respect a person has for their partner. Speaking only from my experience, I have never and would never cheat and usually am pretty happy in a relationship and if I'm not it's never because of the lack of penises or vaginas at my disposal. I have been cheated on before by two straight guys and I don't assume all straight guys are cheaters. (Look up Dr. Diamonds study on this topic)
4. Bisexual women do it to get attention from men
There are the typical girls at a party that will have a few too many and start making out with their bestfriend giggling and laughing. I refer to these people as "beersexuals" and they definitely exist however I'm betting most of them are not bisexual and would be uninterested in having sex with a woman if the chance came around. However, bisexuality is more than just kissing your friend for a dare, it's a sexual orientation and needs to be viewed as such. Most bisexual people I know tend to keep their sex lives pretty private so there's really no use in just pretending to be bisexual to get the attention of men.
5. Men cannot be bisexual
I know many people who believe that men who identify as bisexual are just closetted gays. Just because you're only attracted to one gender doesn't mean that others can't be attracted to both. It's so normal these days for females to experiement with other females, but still remains controversial when a male does the same. Girls who experiment with other girls is often looked at as being sexy without being branded as a lesbian, whereas males who do the same get the label of gay.
There are many more that I can think of, but these are the ones I experience most often and am tired of hearing. Stop stereotyping people and stop caring who people choose to bump uglies with and your life will be much easier. There could be much more added to this but I'm not a novelist so I will end it here. Thank you for reading through and please refrain from leaving nasty comments, they will be reported.
What Girls & Guys Said
20 28my ex girlfriend turned me bi now i love it!
She did not TURN you bi, she just helped you see or accept it.
@wagsingle no she flipped me
Great mytake! And Just a simple question, am I bisexual if I like to sleep with girls? Or just bi-curious, I had sex with some woman and I have no idea if I should count it as bisexual because I am only sexually arlttracted to woman, when a man has sex with another he's simply labeled as gay or bi (I know its bullshit) but can someone answer my question thank u!
I am the same as you and have been for years. I have no interest in a romantic relationship with women but only a sexual one. I consider myself bisexual because it's more socially acceptable to have a label, but you call yourself whatever you want!
Your bi-sexual but not bi-relationship. That's the best way to probably put it
I've dated a gay guy and a straight girl and both of them ended up cheating on me. And people still say that bisexuals are more likely to cheat.
Great take though!
bisexual is just another word for homosexual. stop being afraid to come out of the closet all the way.
This is another example of a common thought, that bisexuality doesn't exist. Just because you aren't attracted to both doesn't mean others cannot be.
you are a moron, but then again you are old so your views are from the stone age
@Eric644 you are talking about Mr. Anonymous a-hole right?
@BiQueen yep
@Eric644 Hey!!! That's not old. I'm 46. Mine says 26 by accident and I can't find how to change it. However I do think this opinion owner is an ass.
@WBOTB I had the same problem and didn't notice until someone replied that I knew too much for a 16 year old. You have to email or message admins to correct a birth date
They are cheaters
i've always had a theory male bisexuality was more common than female bisexuality it's just men are super closeted about it
Which is a shame I think.
while im not bisexual myself, i do have a theory that the men who are bisexual or bi-curious are the most homophobic, i think me who bully gay people are bisexual and are not comfortable with their sexuality. If someone is bi-sexual or gay, I have no problem with it and no one should
