Understanding bisexuality

[Shadow Wolf]

I don't see sexuality divided into discrete types. It's more a question of focal width and drive. Some people are sexual floodlights, others as focused as lasers.
Attraction might be focused on a very specific type; with only one age, sex, race, hair color, and body type being attractive. Conversely, the range of attraction might be wide, with anything on two legs being of interest. It's all the same sexual attraction, it just varies in exclusivity.

Yeah. We're human and we love to label things, but as our society is opening itself back to accepting things that were driven underground the labels we use are just ugh. Like bisexual. I believe if everyone where honest and free of social stigma then most people would be bi. Except we wouldn't be bi because we'd just be having sex with someone who caught our fancy. We'd still have our likes and preferences, but we don't really label other areas of basic human needs and functions in such a way. We have our favorite foods, but we don't definite our palate by it. We have preferred genres of music, but it mostly doesn't go beyond that. With movies, again you're widely and mostly the fan of a genre.
Amd with sex it would definitely simplify things if we reverted back to viewing sex as sex instead us of being this or that.

I have remarked that bisexual men tend to be married to a woman while cheating on her with a man.
That pattern incentivizes biphobia...meaning that bisexuality is synonimous with infidelity and swinging.

Please...do refute that.

I wasn't aware of any surveys of the marital status of bisexual men, their philandering, or the public opinions regarding any of this.

I call that and raise your numerous outlandish and erroneous claims in the past.
Plus I've never heard this before and without supporting evidence your claim will rightly be filed in the trash can.

What does a lesbian bring on a second date?
A U-haul.

I am friends with a lesbian couple who started out as roommates. The Uhaul happens even sooner in 2024.

Here 'tend to be' functions as an unsubstantiated, stigmatizing and gross claim.
How are we supposed to be able to refute a viewpoint with no basis?

If the sources of her claims are not found and substantiated, there will be no need for any refutation.
Unsupported claims collapse by themselves.

Do you know Family Guy, right?
A alpha female named Lois who knows her husband he's bisexual and she's okay with that.

Family Guy is extremely exaggerated and shouldn't be viewed as having truths in it. It's not even very consistent, such as the flashback that shows Peter apparently being a post-op transman, but then an entire episode where he gets chewed out by multiple characters for faking being a transwoman.
It's so inconsistent that Peter and Lois have two totally different hooking up stories that even take place in different decades.

You don’t say…

I have remarked that bisexual men tend to be married to a woman while cheating on her with a man.

Ouch!

But this is the first time I’m hearing about this.

That pattern incentivizes biphobia...meaning that bisexuality is synonimous with infidelity and swinging.

Ouch again!

Perhaps the pattern is imagined?

Please...do refute that.

Sure!

Straight people cheat all the time!

 

[an anarchist]

the fact that bisexuals are very mysterious

I think perhaps you are needlessly painting bisexual people with a wide brush?

 

[Estro Felino]

Ouch!

But this is the first time I’m hearing about this.

Ouch again!

Perhaps the pattern is imagined?

Sure!

Straight people cheat all the time!

That's reassuring.

Something like ten years ago...most of my boyfriends were married men...and their wives had no clue of their own husbands' affairs.

And? This has what to do with bisexuals? Were you aware they had a wife and were cheating?

 

[an anarchist]

That's reassuring.

Is your thinking that a bisexual man who is dating a certain gender will feel the need fulfill both sides of their sexual attraction, therefore increasing the likelihood of them cheating? (with the opposite sex of their partner)

I think I can follow that logic.

Well, I checked and there appears to be no research on your assumption.

But do you have anecdotal evidence?

Either way, I think your claim is an oversimplification, but I don’t think it is silly where it should be outright dismissed. Anecdotally, I agree with you.

Yes...despite all the cases of faithful relationships bisexuals and biromantic people are in.

Well I’ve been on both ends of infidelity in my lifetime, and a few cases have been due to unfulfilled sexual desire due to bisexuality while in a monogamous relationship in my view.

So anecdotally I agree. But my life may be an outlier.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything of bisexuals being more likely to cheat because they're bi. I've known many who most people assume are straight because they married an opposite sex partner, but I've not heard of such infidelity.
But I have read articles (that I pulled up with my own research) stating Italian women largely are not being sexually satisfied by their male partners, so maybe it's an Italian thing?
