[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it the expectation that the bisexual person not act upon their bisexuality? Why are we conditioned to place such importance on monogamy, which ithough sometimes beneficial, is not natural?[/quote]

It's only an expectation for someone who wishes to be monogamous. I don't care if other people are monogamous, only if my partner is monogamous with me.

"Natural" is an irrelevant term, and a dangerous one when talking about sexuality (plenty of people have argued that non-procreative sex is unnatural, people use this term to enforce their biases).

But you've also outlined exactly why many straight or homosexual people choose not to date bisexual or pansexual people, and why it's nothing to do with biphobia. If your goal is a longterm monogamous relationship, [b]dating a bisexual person seems like you are putting an automatic limit on the relationship because presumably at some point that person will wish to act on their bisexual desires for a gender that you are not[/b]. Or you are banking on them being satisfied with expressing their bisexuality only other ways (pornography, fantasy, role play), which may not be a reasonable expectation. It just doesn't make sense for me, as a person interested in monogamy, to set myself up for[b] what seems like an obvious outcome of a relationship [/b]with someone who has a strong sexual interest that I will never be able to fulfill.[/quote]

That. Is. A. Crappy. Biphobic. Thing. To. Think. That is prejudiced and stereotypical. And it's really flipping pissing me off on this thread. Esp the tone that 'oh this is a known fact and it's reasonable for me to say.'

If a person is in LOVE with another person they can fully commit themselves and be monogamous. No matter the sexuality or gender. Also people of any sexuality and gender can be cheaters or ethically non-monogamous. Bi people aren't automatically going to cheat, want a threesome or miss dating the other sex.

Flipping stop with this nonsense. You make us sound like sex addicts. It's sh1tty. Some of us are tired from work and kids and we just want to watch hockey and drink a glass of wine with our spouses before going to bed.[/quote]
