Everything about bisexuality

Jan. 02, 2025, 9:44 AM Release

1. Definition

  • Bisexuality is a sexual orientation that refers to an individual's ability to develop lasting emotions, romantic love, and sexual attraction towards both the same and opposite sexes. For example, a bisexual person may develop feelings of admiration for both males and females at different stages of their life, or at the same time, and this emotion and attraction exist truly and equally between the two genders.

2. Scope and mobility of sexual orientation

  • Scope: Bisexuality encompasses a relatively broad range. Some bisexuals may have almost equal attraction to both the same and opposite sexes. When searching for a partner, whether male or female, as long as they meet their inner expectations for love and intimacy, they have the potential to develop a romantic relationship. And some bisexual individuals may have a bias, such as being more inclined to establish romantic relationships with the opposite sex, but in certain specific situations, they may also develop strong feelings for the same sex.

  • Mobility: Sexual orientation mobility is more common in the bisexual community. This means that their emotional and sexual attraction may change over time, experience, environment, and other factors. For example, during adolescence, a person mainly has a favorable impression of the opposite sex, but as they grow older, they gradually develop feelings for the same sex in a specific social circle or work environment, thus becoming more aware of their bisexual tendencies.

3. Differences between bisexuality and other sexual orientations

  • Difference from homosexuality: Homosexuals mainly have emotional and sexual attraction to the same sex, while bisexuals have attraction to both sexes. For example, gay men only have romantic and sexual desires towards men, while bisexual men can have similar feelings towards both men and women.

  • Difference from heterosexuals: Heterosexuals' emotional and sexual attraction is mainly limited to the opposite sex. Bisexuals are different in that their emotional and sexual attraction extends beyond a single opposite sex, including the same sex. For example, when facing an attractive same-sex partner, heterosexuals usually do not have romantic or sexual impulses, while bisexuals may.

4. Reasons for the formation of bisexuality

Physiological factors:

  • Some studies suggest that genes may play a role in the formation of bisexuality. Some gene combinations may affect the structure and function of the brain, thereby influencing sexual orientation. For example, certain regions in the brain are responsible for processing information related to emotions and sexual attraction, and genetic differences may result in these regions responding differently to stimuli of different genders.

  • Hormone levels may also be related to it. During embryonic development, hormone secretion may potentially affect sexual orientation. If the hormone levels that the fetus is exposed to in the uterus are different from typical heterosexual developmental patterns, it may increase the likelihood of bisexuality.

Psychological and social factors:

  • Early personal experiences may have an impact on sexual orientation. For example, growing up in a very open and inclusive family environment may make it easier for children to accept their emotions towards both sexes. Alternatively, a person may have established deep emotional connections with both same-sex and opposite sex individuals during childhood, and these experiences may develop into feelings of love for both sexes after adolescence.

  • The social and cultural environment is also important. In some societies that are more tolerant of homosexuality and bisexuality, people are more likely to explore and express their bisexual tendencies. On the contrary, in a conservative socio-cultural environment, bisexuals may suppress their emotions or discover their true orientation later.

5. Challenges faced by bisexuals in society

  • Misunderstandings and Prejudices: Bisexuals are often misunderstood. Some people believe that bisexuality is a sign of hesitation or promiscuity. For example, some people may question the loyalty of bisexuals in romantic relationships, believing that since they can like both sexes, they are more likely to cheat. This misunderstanding can bring great psychological pressure to bisexuals.

  • Double discrimination: They may be excluded by mainstream heterosexual society or misunderstood within the LGBTQ+community. In the heterosexual community, bisexuality may be seen as not conforming to traditional values; In the LGBTQ+community, some people may feel that bisexuals have not fully come out or are not firm enough in supporting LGBT rights.

  • Psychological health issues: Due to social pressure and discrimination, bisexuals are more likely to experience mental health problems. For example, they may experience emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. Research has shown that the proportion of suicidal thoughts and attempted suicide among bisexual adolescents is relatively high, which is closely related to the social environment and psychological pressure they face.

6. Bisexual culture and support system

  • Bisexual Pride Flag: The bisexual pride flag is an important symbol of the bisexual community. The colors of flags usually include pink (representing homosexuality), blue (representing heterosexuality), and purple (representing bisexuality), and the combination of these colors showcases the position of bisexuality in the spectrum of sexual orientation and is also used to express the pride and unity of the bisexual community in various occasions.

  • Support organizations and activities: There are many bisexual support organizations, such as bisexual resource centers. These organizations provide psychological counseling, social activities, and advocacy services for bisexuals. Bisexuals also celebrate their identity through various activities, such as Bisexuality Pride Day. In these activities, bisexuals can communicate with each other, share experiences, and enhance their sense of identity and belonging.
