Bisexuals Can't be Faithful

Some people ask "How can someone attracted to more than one gender be faithful to a partner of one gender?" Quite easily! Being attracted to people isn't cheating, did you know? Some people are attracted to more than one gender, some people to more than one skin color, or height, or body shape, or age group, or background.
Would a straight man attracted to both tall and short women be unable to remain faithful to a tall girlfriend? Would a lesbian woman attracted to both musicians and engineers be unable to commit to a guitarist?
And anyway - what is "cheating"? Relationships aren't a sport and being a partner to someone who is monogamous with you doesn't make you a "winner". Perhaps there is a different conversation to be had about people choosing how they respect others. Maybe we'll put a page up about that some time.

It's compulsory is it, dating? Some of us are in happy relationships with one partner, others have multiple relationships, or are polyamorous, and some swap to dating the other sex whenever their current fling ends. Some bisexuals are happily married and raising children. Some bisexuals are single, some are celibate. You do not need to have ever have had sex to be bisexual. Some bisexuals enjoy casual sex, others don’t' have sex outside committed relationships.
Some bisexuals do date more than one partner at a time, and some of those are "men and women", but being bisexual doesn't mean you are obliged to do that.
Bisexuality isn't about who you have sex with, or who you're in a relationship with. It's just about you - and the genders you are attracted to.
