1

They Want Threesomes

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

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.

3

They’re Trying to Impress Men

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

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

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.

They’re Attracted to Everyone

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

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?

Any advice for me? I don't know what to do

Thank you @quinnythepooh

Good topic

Never mind I saw it now 😂😂😂😂

@liz you need to stop writing these degrading comments. I understand that religion is important to you and the bible and God's words and whatever. but in this day and age your beliefs are harmful and outdated. I am not asking you to change your beliefs, I just want you to practice them more privately. people here share raw, intimate things about themselves and it is supposed to be an app where we all support and love each other. not only are your beliefs narrow minded- they do not fit everyone. I for one am not even Christian and I've never read from your bible- does this make me a sinner? id really like to know. all the best

I'm bisexual, tried telling my mother, and she said I was "confused". Two close friends know I'm bi, and that's it. I come from a Christian family where homosexuality is a disgrace, and once my father casually mentioned if I was homosexual that he would never speak to me again.

Abomination?? Are we in the Middle Ages? Time machine for this person please!

Wow.. Hope nobody in liz' life comes out and expects solitude and kindness from her. Great article. I'm pansexual and I hear all the same myths, stereotypes etc. Or the "you just haven't met the RIGHT man yet" even though I have been with the same woman for years.

Tons of people care @Liz

So I'm " not out of the closet "
