13 types of Bisexuality
As you can see, there is no simple definition of
bisexuality, and
bisexual people are a very diverse group. There are
several theories about
different models of bisexual behavior. J. R. Little
identifies at least 13
types of bisexuality, as defined by sexual desires
and
experiences. They are:
Alternating bisexuals:
may have a relationship with a man, and then after
that relationship
ends, may choose a female partner for a
subsequent
relationship, and many
go back to a male partner next.
Cirstantial bisexuals:
primarily heterosexual, but will choose same sex
partners only in
situations where they have no access to other-sex
partners, such as when in
jail, in the military, or in a gender-segregated
school.
Concurrent relationship bisexuals:
have primary relationship with one gender only but
have other casual or
secondary relationships with people of another
gender at the same time.
Conditional bisexuals:
either straight or gay/lesbian, but will switch to a
relationship with
another gender for financial or career gain or for a
specific purpose,
such as young straight males who become gay
prostitutes or lesbians who get
married to men in order to gain acceptance from
family members or
to have children.
Emotional bisexuals:
have intimate emotional relationships with both men
and women, but
only have sexual relationships with one gender.
Integrated bisexuals:
have more than one primary relationship at the
same
time, one with
a man and one with a woman.
Exploratory bisexuals:
either straight or gay/lesbian, but have sex with
another gender
just to satisfy curiosity or “see what it’s like.”
Hedonistic bisexuals:
primarily straight or gay/lesbian but will sometimes
have sex with
another gender primarily for fun or purely sexual
satisfaction.
Recreational bisexuals:
primarily heterosexual but engage in gay or lesbian
sex only when
under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Isolated bisexuals:
100% straight or gay/lesbian now but has had at
one
or more sexual
experience with another gender in the past.
Latent bisexuals:
completely straight or gay lesbian in behavior but
have strong desire
for sex with another gender, but have never acted
on
it.
Motivational bisexuals:
straight women who have sex with other women
only
because a male
partner insists on it to titillate him.
Transitional bisexuals:
temporarily identify as bisexual while in the
process of
moving from
being straight to being gay or lesbian, or going from
being gay or lesbian
to being heterosexual.
Many of these people might not call themselves
bisexual, but because
they are attracted to and have relationships with
both
men and women, they
are in fact bisexual.
but most of them FOR SURE
CONFUSED!
