[quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that people have different definitions of what "bisexual" is. Whenever the discussion comes up about dating a bisexual person, there are invariably people that assume that someone who is bisexual is 1) having sex with both men and women 2) promiscuous and untrustworthy. But neither of these are necessarily true. "Bisexual" just means that a person is attracted to both men and women. They may, or may not, have had sex with both (or either). As for #2, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The negative assumptions about bisexuals forces them to be secretive about it, which results in situations where bisexuals are "caught" being on the down low, which reinforces the negative stereotype. Many people have experienced a degree of same-sex attraction, but these damaging stereotype make it impossible to have a reasonable discussion about it.[/quote]
