It is said that bi men find it very difficult to be faithful. The reason for this is that they simply have too many \"males\" and \"females\" to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>What is always forgotten: yes, there is love and monogamy among bisexual people too.

This is, of course, just as much a prejudice as the assumption that gay men simply haven't met the right woman yet.<\/p>\n<h4>Prejudice No. 3: Everything is just a phase!<\/h4>\n<p>No one denies that bisexuality can indeed be a phase. After all, teenagers in particular know the feeling of having to find themselves and the need to try things out. Sexual experiences with their own sex are often part of this. However, it would be wrong to speak of bisexuality per se as a \"phase\". Instead, many people realise that they can be enthusiastic about both sexes and love not having to decide.<\/p>\n<h5>Prejudice No. 4: All bisexuals are into threesomes<\/h5>\n<p>Why? Just because a person likes both sexes, does he also want to have sex with both at the same time? Sure: a <a href=\"https:\/\/schwulekontakte.com\/lexikon\/dreier\/\">Threesome<\/a> can be exciting. However, this is not a phenomenon that occurs exclusively among <a href=\"https:\/\/schwulekontakte.com\/lexikon\/bisexuell\/\">Bisexual<\/a> could be found. For many straight people, too, the <a href=\"https:\/\/schwulekontakte.com\/en\/lexicon\/three\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"In a threesome, either two women and a man or two men and a woman have sex with each other.

The term remains...\" class=\"encyclopedia\">Threesome<\/a> the \"non-plus-ultra\" of sexual fantasies.<\/p>\n<h6>Prejudice No. 5: Bisexuals want to be the centre of attention<\/h6>\n<p>When two women make out at a party, they are often the centre of attention. Especially when both are actually in a heterosexual relationship and the partners stand by with a grin on their face.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for men snogging. They also still attract attention in the pedestrian zone - even though the image of two people making love - regardless of gender - should no longer \"shock\" anyone, especially in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>However, as soon as man and man and woman and woman make out, a switch seems to flip in the minds of many people. All of a sudden it's not about \"just\" exchanging tenderness, but about making a mark. What a pity. Of course, bisexuals also have the right to show each other their feelings - both alone and in public.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bisexuality: Three prejudices against bisexual people\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_xqnHb4ItYs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard?&nbsp;<a title=\"Get out of the victim role - These tips help against ghosting\" href=\"https:\/\/schwulekontakte.com\/2021\/01\/31\/raus-aus-der-opferrolle-diese-tipps-helfen-gegen-ghosting\/\">These tips help against ghosting<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bisexuality and prejudices - the problem with old wives' tales Not only homosexual but also bisexual people are confronted with prejudices again and again in everyday life.
