17 Things To Know Before Dating A Bisexual Woman
10. Not All Women Are Bisexual
There is a common misconception that straight women are also bisexual. This is not correct. This stems from the fact that many men think a woman who watches lesbian porn must be bisexual. Sorry to tell you fellas but this is more incorrect information floating around the internet. A woman can watch lesbian porn and be aroused without actually being a lesbian. This is backed up by a study that found straight women can be turned on when watching erotic videos of two women getting it on. But just because a straight woman can be aroused by lesbian porn doesn’t mean she wants to go through with being with another woman. Assuming that all women are bisexual is a stupid view to have and makes you look like an idiot who really has no clue about women.
11. There Is No Percentage of How Straight or Lesbian She Is
This is another one to file under the ‘what the fuck?’ category. Some people seem to want to quantify how straight or gay a bisexual person is using percentages. Your partner is 60% straight and 40% lesbian. This is ridiculous. You can’t put a number on it. She can be whatever she wants. Bisexual, pansexual, demisexual, whatever she wants. As long as she is happy with who she is and loves you with all her heart it doesn’t matter whether she is into men, women, or both.
12. She May Be Afraid To Tell You
There could be a variety of reasons why (some listed above) she is afraid to tell you she is bisexual. She may think you believe some of the common misconceptions about bisexual people or think she will have to explain her whole life story to you. Even worse, she might think you will make fun of her or not take her seriously. It can be a hard thing to come out to your partner, so if she does, don’t be a dick about it. Show her the same support and care you alays have. Her being bisexual doesn’t change your relationship or who she is.
