Bisexual individuals have been a subject of discussion for decades now, especially when it comes to sex lives. It is believed that bisexuals cannot commit to any one gender. Many people think that they always have threesomes and that there is more drama than what meets the eye. These perceptions may be true but at times misleading. However, the following factors must be considered before making conclusions.
First, many bisexual individuals choose to remain celibate until they find someone who satisfies them emotionally and physically. This means that just because you are bisexual does not mean that you have to act upon your sexual orientation immediately after coming out. Many prefer to wait till they meet someone compatible before engaging in a relationship.
Secondly, bisexual individuals do not necessarily like both genders equally. There are some who favor one gender and dislike another. For example, a bisexual man could prefer men and women, but he might be turned off by other men or women. The same applies to females too. Therefore, their choice of partners will depend on chemistry and personality rather than biological differences between genders.
Thirdly, bisexuals can still enjoy monogamous relationships with one partner. They can also make long-term commitments. It all depends on whether they are comfortable with their partners' gender. As long as they feel loved and accepted, they can stay in a monogamous relationship for years. In fact, studies show that most bisexuals end up marrying and raising children.
Lastly, bisexuality doesn't automatically mean that an individual is promiscuous. Some bisexuals are very faithful in relationships, while others are serial daters. The choice depends on personal values and preferences. Just like any other group of people, there are those who have loose morals and those who follow strict rules when it comes to sex.
In conclusion, the media tends to portray bisexuals as more adventurous than what they really are. The stereotype is untrue since bisexuals can choose to remain single if they so wish.
