"Straight people have a preference. they know what they want. Bisexuals just take what they can get."

This was a quote a previous noder decided to share with us. He also implied that bisexuals couldn't make up their mind as to which gender they prefered. Although their node no longer exists, I decided that my resonse should still be here to help explain the mystery of bisexuality to some people



*sigh*

I suppose, by the same logic, that someone who eats vegetables as well as meat are just taking what they can get when it comes to food? I don't think so. Might it mean that they can't make up their mind as to what they like? That doesn't sound right either, does it?

No, bisexual people enjoy both sexes. It doesn't mean they do it equally, because usually they don't. They can however appreciate the mental or physical beauty of either males or females.

Thinking that bisexuals aren't either straight or gay just because they can't make up their minds is rather silly as well. If you like both cake and pie, does it mean you can't make up your mind as to which you really like? When presented with two choices, it's very possible to have the ability to enjoy both of them.
