You will probably have sex with both sexes in the future
Do bisexuals really feel attraction to both sexes or are they sexuals who only get in the way of others?

Bisexuality means attraction to people of both sexes. To many people bisexuality is a thorn in their side because they do not like the grey areas, and bisexuality is one big grey area. Bisexuals tend to be here and there, and they are neither theirs nor ours. Therefore, it is very difficult for most people to understand and accept bisexuality, and many of them take it as more of a joke than something serious. However, bisexuality is a completely serious thing.

Especially among the homosexual population, there often exists the belief that bisexuals are latent homosexuals who due to the unfavourable conditions in the society are reluctant to admit it and live as such – they suppressed their sexual drive in exchange of social acceptance. Such a way of speaking is incomplete and points, above all, to the ignorance of the one who says it. Bisexually oriented people are capable of living in a monogamous relationship with a man or a woman and they are fulfilled by it. However, it is true that many bisexually oriented people hide their tendencies because they are aware of the strong disapproval expressed by others. Nevertheless, these people do not conceal their homosexuality but they conceal their bisexuality.

Let us break some of the most common myths about bisexuality:
Bisexuals like men and woman equally
Wrong. There is no incorrect and correct sexual orientation. Every person may be, or live his or her life as, a bisexual in the way that is the most suitable for that person. If a man only enters into relationships with women and, at the same time, he is also attracted to men, he might be bisexual. The same goes for women. However, it should be noted that many people are attracted to people of the same sex to a certain extent, but when they in fact experience sexual intercourse with people of the same sex they are put off by seeing the naked body of the same sex partner, instead of being turned on. As you can see there are numerous variations of bisexuality.
Bisexuals are not monogamists and cannot be faithful to one partner.
This is a false statement. Similar to heterosexuals, gays and lesbians, bisexuals can fall in love and stay faithful to their partners. Relationships have the same rules, irrespective of who sets them and their form.

Bisexuals only play games; if they really wanted, they could fully decide on heterosexuality.
It is a fact that we cannot choose our sexual orientation and we do not have any influence on it. It is what it is and we do not decide on it. Instead, we feel it. Equally as you feel that you are hetero or homosexual, bisexuals feel they are bisexual.
Bisexuals are in fact gays who do not admit it.
Wrong again. Bisexuality is different from homosexuality, and thus it also has its own name. Time may change human sexuality, so bisexuals can only be attracted to the same sex in one period and to the opposite sex in another period.

It is easer for many people, both homosexuals and heterosexuals, to accepts bisexuality as a mere transitory state (when a person makes a transition from one sexual orientation to another), and in no way as something definite.
However, not all societies are unfavourable to bisexuality. According to the research by Beach and Ford, 64% of societies who accepted bisexuality even encouraged it – particularly in men. According to Freud, everyone has a developed bisexual potential. Even today, people do not see bisexuality as something negative, as something that needs to be eradicated. Many people predict bisexuality as our future. This is supposed to be the consequence of a biological and cultural revolution which will happen to mankind, when sex will no longer be the act of reproduction, so it will not be important any more with whom you have sexual intercourse. Do you agree with such predictions?
