Bisexuality is the state in which a person’s sexual orientation causes them to be attracted to both people of the same sex and those of the opposite sex, however, homosexual and heterosexual communities tend to discriminate or reject women more intensely. bisexual people.
But why is there a rejection? Many people refer to different popular myths or beliefs, such as saying that bisexuals are confused and ‘don’t know what they want’, or ‘just go through a phase’. Other even harsher value judgments claim that bisexuals are “infidels by nature. “and that” they cannot maintain a long-term relationship”; while a third group is simply unwilling to trust someone who doesn’t decide their own tastes.
- The irony of all this is that this rejection is more noticeable in women than in men.
- One possible explanation comes from the argument that a lesbian cannot accept that a woman who has ever been with other women also wants to be with a man.
- In addition.
- The percentage of bisexual women is higher than that of men and it is much more common for heterosexual women to have already experienced sexual fantasies with a person of the same sex.
- Compared to men.
A group of experts from Boise State University recently conducted a study that showed some fairly controversial results on bisexuality. This study found that heterosexual women (about 60%) they were attracted to people of the same sex, while a large number of lesbian women ended up. being responsible for a large part of the use of heterosexual and homosexual male pornographic material. In another study, it was found that all women were excited about pornography (lesbian, gay or heterosexual), regardless of their sexual orientation.
By contrast, according to open university’s bisexual newsletter graphs, men who are attracted to or curious about more than one sex reach only 6%, however, many researchers say this percentage difference is due to the sexualization of women in today’s society. , in other words: because of the adult entertainment industry, it is more common to see women’s interactions with other women, while it is more common for women to be affectionate with and have physical contact with their friends. , while men tend to be more secretive about it.
Another side of this newsletter states that bisexuality is real, and that biphobia (phobia and hatred of bisexual people) is even more real, and this weighs on this whole community, the truth is that we must be able to respect the idea that everyone decides with whom they want to share their bed and their life.
