I'm a guy who likes women. There is a specific woman that I like beyond the rest, and I married her. I am still interested in other women, but I don't pursue that interest.
It seems to me that homosexuality and bisexuality are distinctly different. Homosexuals and heterosexuals are attracted to a specific gender. It is not a matter of choosing what they are attracted to. Bisexuals are attracted to both.. and thus they have a choice of which gender they wish to become physically and emotionally intimate with. They may have not chosen to be attracted to both genders, but they do have a choice between which interests they pursue.
I didn't want to sound argumentative or judgemental, so I'll pose the question once more: Do bisexuals feel obligated to pursue both sexes just because they are attracted to them?

I'm bisexual, and am attracted to men and women. right now, there is no one I'm particularly attracted to, so I am not flirting with or hitting on anyone.
If I become attracted to a guy, I will act on that
If I become attracted to a girl, I will act on that
I do not feel obligated to persue both sexes. I just prefer to live my life and if I happen to become attracted to someone (whether male or female) I will act on it if I know they could be into me too.
I would never date a man and woman at the same time, if thats what your asking.

A transexual would not act as a guy and a woman... a transexual is a guy or a woman born right into a physique of the different intercourse. i'd marry the guy I fell in love with, gender makes no distinction. Bisexuals do no longer would desire to have relationships with people of the two genders on the comparable time; this is a false impression. wish that solutions your question. :)

It's going to depend. I've heard from many bisexuals who are adamant that they need to be with both sexes simultaneously, that to be with only one gender is akin to denying a part of their identity.
I'm bisexual, and I definitely don't feel that way. My argument is that when someone (heterosexual or homosexual) chooses one partner to be monogamous with, they are eschewing all other people of that sex. Same for bisexuals, but they simply reject not just all the other men, but all the other women, too.
There are many, many monogamous bisexuals who have no desire to engage both sexes romantically/sexually at the same time.
Hope that helps!

Depends on whether they are monosexual or polysexual. Some people are hardwired NOT to be monogamous, but all this should be well talked out way before having sex - let alone getting married! I'm sure there are bisexual people who only want one sex partner, just as there are some heterosexual men who only want one. There are no 'shoulds' or 'betters' here, except clear communication is best.

No, they do not.
Some bisexuals never directly act out their attraction for the same sex.
And a very important thing for you to understand too about bisexuals: Very few are attracted to the two sexes equally. Usually it's a case where they are attracted to one sex more than the other.

No, as a bisexual myself I can tell you that it won't always feel complete in a relationship due to you only dating one gender, but over time as you grow to love the person more and more, the feeling of physical incompleteness completely drifts away. As for me, I would never cheat on someone I was dating, even if the person was the opposite gender of the person I was dating.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. One good friend of mine has a boyfriend and a girlfriend whom both know each other and are comfortable being (all three of them) together! Another friend of mine has a steady girlfriend, and ever now and then has a need to "get" boyfriend for a week or two. It's all up to the individual really!

I don't know how to answer your question. But I guess maybe they think because they are bisexual they can have sex with both genders. But I think that once you find someone you love, you have sex with only them. I don't care if you are bisexual, you need only to have sex with that one person. If you are married to a woman, but you explore you are bisexual, so you have sex with some guy, you just cheated on your wife. I don't care if she didn't mind, you cheated on your wife.

Well its good that you are intelligent and well read enough to realize that only bisexuals have a choice as to which gender they have sex with, people who are truly hetero or homo do not.
Now to your question, I know plenty of bisexual people and most do not feel compelled to have sex with both genders. To them its a matter of who they are attracted to, regardless of gender since they are naturally attracted to both genders.
