Talking about bisexuality

There are many ways to communicate with partners, friends, family members and colleagues you have been or have been attracted to and/or have had contact with people of more than one sex. According to the individual or situation, it is a good way to use humor, refer to past experiences at will, and express them more formally. People often know that people around us have similar experiences. Or at least know other bisexuals.

It’s not true that bisexuals need more than one sex at a time to be romantically or sexually satisfied. Like heterosexuality, lesbianism and homosexuality, bisexuals are different. Some of us prefer to date a lot of people ,such as monogamy, open relationships, while others are completely content with one person. Some people don’t like dating at all. What we want will change or develop over time – just like everyone else!

Bisexuality People are often asked, “Why do you call yourself bisexual ? Whether speaking out loud or being present but not speaking out, this problem usually means that it is considered bisexual unusual, unnecessary or worse: treason, signs of immaturity or “just a stage”.

This question is often accompanied by another long list of personal questions: “Why do you call yourself bisexual when you promise to do so?” When you never date a man? When you don’t have sex with men and women? When you’re single? When you never had sex? When all your partners are women? When all your partners are men? When you don’t feel 50/50? “All of these problems use stereotypes and misinformation to reduce bisexuality. Or their thoughts are intimate, or they are based on other people’s personal definitions, which may be very different from your own definitions, especially when your attraction and relationships may also include transgender, non-dualistic or homosexual people.

This brings us a more interesting question: why do so many people embrace their bisexuality in the face of great adversity and double fear? After all, we not only face a lack of openly bisexual + role models, or those who are willing to be attracted by more than one gender, but also face stigma and discrimination from within and outside LGBTQ + communities. Another hypothesis is that everyone with the same label experiences sex in the same way. But we are all different. Very good. We find that our community, with its many labels and identities, has a rich and varied history and deserves celebration and pride.

The bisexual community often engages in healthy and positive discussions on these topics: What does it mean to call yourself bisexual? What do you gain or lose when you accept the word and your own aspect? How can we continue to promote dialogue on the complexity of sexual and gender identity? Kinsey Scale and Klein Sexual Orientation Grid are useful tools for discussion. Most importantly, these questions are crucial to our self-identification and expression. Many bisexuals will explain that they are attracted to more than one sex, but even this simple definition includes those attracted by all genders and those selected.

One of the most common attacks is to declare bisexual non-existent. But bisexuals must be like that! Recent research and data show that bisexuals account for more than half of the lesbian, gay and bisexual community. For centuries, bisexuals have made great contributions to art, science and various social justice movements.
