Question 1

Discuss what is known about bisexuality.

Accepted Answer

• It may seem as if gay,lesbian,and bisexual all fit neatly into a single category of "nonheterosexual orientations." However,in some ways,bisexuality is a unique sexual orientation,different from being gay,lesbian,or heterosexual.Kinsey's efforts to place sexual orientation on a continuum; notwithstanding,most people continue to see people as either straight or gay.It appears,however,that bisexuality is a clearly defined sexual orientation in which a person may be emotionally,psychologically,and physically attracted to members of either sex.
• Historically,many people and even some researchers believed that individuals who self-identified as bisexual were in reality trying to hide the fact that they were actually gay or lesbian or were simply on their way to coming out as gay or lesbian.Consequently,they have been given little attention in the scientific research and have often been brushed aside or even outright rejected by both straight and gay groups.Many people assume that when bisexual individuals are in a relationship with someone of the other sex,they must be straight,but when they are involved with someone of their own sex,they are gay or lesbian.Self-proclaimed bisexual individuals are subject to prejudice and discrimination by the heterosexual majority but they encounter it in the gay world,too,with derisive phrases such as "Pick a lane" or "Choose a team."
• Bisexual people are not more highly sexed or promiscuous than any other group of people (or in less delicate language,they are not out to "sleep with just anyone").Their sexual orientation is not about being indiscriminate about their sexual or relationship partners.Some bisexuals might define themselves as more attracted to women than to men or vice versa,while others feel an equal romantic and sexual attraction to both sexes.Regardless,most bisexual individuals will tell you that they feel open to relationships with a potential partner regardless of his or her biological sex,rather than wanting to have loving relationships with both sexes simultaneously.
