Biphobia

What is a bisexual?
Bisexual

Oxford Dictionary

A very clinical approach!! Basically it's someone who finds their own sex and the opposite sex attractive :-)!

What is bi-phobia?
Bi-phobia is when you negatively regard those who like both sexes!

Where and when does this happen?
All the time and its not just straight people! Even gays, lesbians and transgenders get disapprove of people who are attracted to both sexes.

Why?!
There's no need – It is a valid sexuality. A bisexual is no different from anybody they are just a normal person who want to enjoy life.

Top Bisexual Myths
1. Bi's just don't exist!
... and the survey says ... err no!!

That's like saying there is no such thing as a gay man, lesbian women, transgender or straight person! There are more Bi's than completely gay or lesbian people!

2. It's just a phase! They just don't know what they want!
Again untrue! Yes some people who start off bisexual and then decide to be fully straight, gay, lesbian, or transgender! Though some people are just attracted to both sexes! It is not always a phase full stop!

3. Bi's are just sex mad!
Okay - so your sexual habits are defined by your sexuality! Everyone's sexual habits are them, defined by what they want from life.

4. Bi's can't cope with a relationship
Untrue!!!! They are just the same as everyone! Some Bi's are celibate. Some have just one partner. Others have more than 1 ... just the same as monosexuals!

5. Bisexual men will always leave you for women, bisexual women will always leave you for a man!

No! It's easy to blame sexuality when breaking up than look at the reason why!

6. Bi's spread HIV and STI's
No unsafe sex does - golden rule safe sex rules !

7. Bi's are closeted married swingers and people!
Yes some are but isn't there everywhere? There are many closeted gays, lesbians, transgenders, as well as unhappy straight people!

8. Bi is a fashion statement - just a big cop out!
Actually it can be harder being Bi ... they have the same discrimination as gay, lesbians, and transgenders, and can also be discriminated against by gay, lesbian and transgender people! As for a fashion statement, just go to H&M, you are who you are!!

9. Bi's have there own stereotypes!
There are stereotypes for everyone - forget them! Everyone is normal in there own peculiar way!

10. Bi's are nicer people!
No they are human just as you and me! They are people capable of being nice, kind, fun, moody, boring, inconsistent, annoying, etc ... just the same as the whole World!

Bi's and Sex

Bi's are just the same as everyone else...

Basically safe sex for all!!! And safe sex is:

"Not allowing blood, semen, or virginal fluids to pass from one person's body to another's!"

Oral Sex

Use dental dams, and flavoured condoms!

Penetrative sex:

Use condoms and lube!

Basic advice for all to follow whether you are bisexual, lesbian, transgender, gay, straight, whatever!!
