Bisexual myths
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
Arizona State University student Lena Le observes that some young women are faux-bisexuals, only seeking attention. In her own case though:
"In my experiences, when guys find out that I am bisexual, they automatically think I am interested in having a threesome," says communication freshman Lena Le. "But that's not always the case." ...
"I attract the weirdest guys," Le says. "Many of them assume that since I am bisexual, I'm easy and more willing to have sex with them right off the bat, and that's not true, either."
Same sex affection in public becoming more common amid stereotypes

I am a 23 year old bisexual woman. I have been with two women before. I also have the same problems when I tell people I am bisexual. It’s either lets have a threesome or come over and me and you have some sex. Just because I am into women doesn’t mean I’ll sleep with just anyone and I have been in threesomes before but I prefer not to be in one. I am very proud to say I am attracted to women and I find females very sexy and sentual.

A book back in the late 80s or early 90s, Bi Any Other Name, had a good comprehensive article in it on bisexual myths. Among the myths: You have to have sex with both men and women to label yourself as bi; Bisexual people do not engage in serial monogamy (totally not true); etc.

I am a 30 yr old bi female and have run into the typical stereotypes about bi sexuality. Lesbians think its an excuse to just be a slut, and straights think that its party time. When I am single and not in a committed relationship, I do play alot. I have been in threesomes, however, when I am in a committed relationship, whether it be a man or a woman, I am faithful. To a fault even. Just because a woman is bi it has nothing do to with using at as excuse to be a whore. Simply put, I fall in love with, whom I fall in love with, regardless of gender. I find beauty and sensuality in both.
