It's almost 2016, which means that it's time for ignorance about sexuality to end. If you're bisexual, it's nothing to be ashamed of. If you're straight, gay, pan, or any other sexuality, you should still know a few things about bisexuals, so you don't end up offending anyone in the future. Here are a few of the most ridiculous myths about bisexual women that need to come to an end:

1. They Want Threesomes
Bisexual women are capable of falling for another woman, or falling for a man. But that doesn't mean that they want to be with both genders at the same time. They're entirely capable of being monogamous. Most bisexuals want to be in committed relationships, which means they're only going to be kissing and sleeping with one person at a time.
2. They Don’t Exist
Bisexuals exist. It's actually more common than you think for women to be attracted to other women, even though they're also attracted to men. Of course, if a bisexual ends up marrying a man, it doesn't mean she's no longer bisexual. It just means she found the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, who just so happened to be a male.
Frequently asked questions
3. They’re Trying to Impress Men
It's no secret that men love to see two women kissing. However, bisexuals aren't going to date another girl just to impress a man. It makes zero sense. The only reason a bisexual is going to sleep with a girl is because that's what she genuinely wants to do. It's for her. Not for anyone else.
4. They’re Confused
Some people will claim that bisexuals are confused, because they wrongly assume that women can only be straight or gay. However, that's far from the truth. Most people don't fall on one side of the fence. A lot of us will have girl crushes mixed in with our boy crushes. Have you ever heard of the Kinsey Scale? It says that "sexual orientation is really a scale from hetereosexualiy to homosexuality." That means that you can fall somewhere in between being completely heterosexual and homosexual.
5. They’re More Likely to Cheat
Some people think that bisexuals are more likely to cheat, because they're capable of being attracted to men and women. Of course, that's ridiculous. If you like someone, you're going to be loyal to them. It doesn't matter how many other attractive people walk by. Bisexuals still have self control.
6. They’re Attracted to Everyone
Straight women aren't attracted to every single guy they see. It's the same with bisexuals. They aren't going to love every person they meet. They still have their own "type" and their own standards.
7. It’s a Phase
Your sexuality isn't a phase. You aren't going to grow out of it. In fact, you're going to grow into it. Over time, you'll learn to be more comfortable with your sexuality. Of course, you don't have to put a label on yourself. If you're not sure if you should call yourself bisexual or straight or pansexual or demisexual, then don't call yourself anything at all. You like who you like. That's it.
Now that you know all of these myths are completely ridiculous, you can inform your friends! Have you figured out what sexuality you fall under?
Comments
J: I am not a bisexual but I don't judge people who are. I totally understand how horrible it must be to be in the closet for years. But one thing I don't like is others to judge bisexuals. Others in my class have rudely commented how can I be okay with them but they do nothing wrong so that's why. If they go around doing crimes I probably would but again they do nothing wrong.
Roofy: Good topic
Quinny: I'm so sorry you are in that situation and I know it is really frustrating that your family isn't being supportive or even okay with it you need to remember that they grew up being taught one thing and the person they are supposed to teach is telling them that they know better. Just try to be gentle and understanding even if only to not be like them. You don't want to start a war, just gently explain to them how their comments make you feel before giving up and going off on them. Again I am so so sorry I know how hard it is. I wish I could be of more help
Liz: No one cares about such an abomination
Sumer: Tons of people care @Liz
Desiree: Abomination?? Are we in the Middle Ages? Time machine for this person please!
KittyEva: You know what @Liz? You're a fucking idiot and people like you are in the minority, thank God. If you don't like the posts, don't read them. I went through your comments section and you made it a point to comment on several posts about sexuality. Sounds like you need to figure out who you are before you comment on others.
Cynthi: @joanne its attraction to any gender or sexual identity
J: By the way did @Liz 's comment get deleted?
J: Never mind I saw it now 😂😂😂😂
