Do you think bisexual people are more or less likely to be monogamous compared with a heterosexual?

Question

What about compared to a homosexual?

Answer 1

Let's get this through our heads, shall we?

Monogamy is an individual trait. It cannot be expounded throughout an entire group of people. One's sexual orientation does not make him/her more or less likely to want to be with one partner or with more, nor to break vows of monogamy.

Clear?

Answer 2

All depends of the exact definition of monogamy you wish to agree with !
It's clear that gay couples often use "monogamy" to mean "emotional monogamy." For instance, the buddybuddy.com survey differentiated between "monogamy" and "monogamy with agreed exceptions." But such differentiation illustrates that "monogamy" in male same-sex "marriages" is not what it means in heterosexual marriages.
(wikipedia)>>>Apart from sexual preference, some bisexual people describe their attraction as being based on personality or other characteristics rather than gender. Another view of bisexuality is that homosexuality and heterosexuality are two monosexual orientations, whereas bisexuality encompasses them both. However, some argue that bisexuality is a distinct sexual orientation on a par with heterosexuality or homosexuality.
All this tends to prove that monogamy is a sexual orientation that can be approved but for different reasons and in different ways by heterosexual,homosexuals and bisexuals and for that reason it is very difficult to have a precise "statistic".

Answer 3

Well since bisexual people have a sexual attractive for both male and female, I say it's more likely that they would want more then one partner. I'm not saying that all of them are like that before everyone starts jumping to conclusions. For the ones I'm talking about, they might be into polyamory, having more then one loving, intimate relationship, with everyone fully agreeing that is part of it. If there's cheating involved, then it's not a polyamory relationship.

Come to think of it, with the huge amounts of marriages that end and cheating going on, I sometimes wonder if a monogamous relationship is truly possible among many people.

Answer 4

I read somewhere that girls are most monogamous- they want someone around to help provide for the children, whereas guys are naturally predisposed to want to sow their wild oats in as varied places as possible. So from an evolutionary aspect, so this article went on to suggest lesbien relationships are the most monogamous, and gay relationships the least, with heterosexual relatioships in the middle somewhere.
A huge over generalisation though, each relatiohsip has it's own merits and difficulties.

Answer 5

So what is wrong with having 1 partner but I do think that bisexual people could never be monogamous

Answer 6

The desire to be non-monogamous is entirely separate from who someone is attracted to. Bisexual people are exactly as likely to be monogamous as homo or heterosexual people.

Answer 7

i think ones history offers a clue, some people are 'serial' whatevers, serial gay, serial hetro serial bi. Bi is often perceipeved as wanting the best of both which also suggest that two on the go is an element of the experience. Often that is just because the needs are so complex, some hetros are similarly non monogamous due to multiple needs

Answer 8

Less, since they are playing on both sides, there could be more chances to stray coming at them. I think homosexuals and heterosexuals are equally likely to be monogamous, if you are a cheater, you will cheat, regardless of sexal orientation...

Answer 9

As a bisexual female, the answers to this question are starting to anger me.

I am bisexual, I have been sexually attracted to girls and guys both.

But I've had one relationship, with an idiot guy, and that's it. I'm not out for sex or anything.

Answer 10

this girl I used to date was bisexual,and sorry to say but she is a tramp,and would never be satisfied with just one person.
My answer would be no. She would be more likely to sleep around ,and believe me she does.That is why she is my EX.
