[[Sigmund Freud]] believed that every human being is bisexual in a very broad sense of the term, that of incorporating general aspects of both sexes. In his view, this was true anatomically and therefore also psychologically, with sexual attraction to both sexes being one part of this psychological bisexuality. Freud believed that in the course of sexual development the masculine side would normally become dominant in men and the feminine side in women, but that as adults everyone still has desires derived from both the masculine and the feminine sides of their natures. Freud did not claim that everyone is bisexual in the sense of feeling the same level of sexual attraction to both genders. Freud's belief in innate bisexuality was rejected by [[Sandor Rado|Sándor Radó]] and, following Rado, by many later psychoanalysts.<ref>{{Cite book|author=Ruse, Michael |authorlink=Michael Ruse |title=Homosexuality: A Philosophical Inquiry |publisher=Basil Blackwell |location=Oxford |year=1988 |isbn=0 631 15275 X |pages=22, 25, 45}}</ref> |

Human bisexuality has mainly been studied alongside homosexuality. Van Wyk and Geist argue that this is a problem for sexuality research because the few studies that have observed bisexuals separately have found that bisexuals are often different from both heterosexuals and homosexuals. Furthermore, bisexuality does not always represent a halfway point between the dichotomy. Research indicates that bisexuality is influenced by biological, cognitive and cultural variables in interaction, and this leads to different types of bisexuality.<ref name=VanWyk>{{cite journal |author=Van Wyk PH,Geist CS|title=Biology of Bisexuality: Critique and Observations |journal=Journal of Homosexuality |volume=28 |issue=3–4 |pages=357–373 |year=1995 |doi=10.1300/J082v28n03_11 |pmid=7560936}}</ref> |

In the current debate around influences on sexual orientation, biological explanations have been questioned by social scientists, particularly by feminists who encourage women to make conscious decisions about their life and sexuality. A difference in attitude between homosexual men and women has also been reported, with men more likely to regard their sexuality as biological, "reflecting the universal male experience in this culture, not the complexities of the lesbian world." There is also evidence that women's sexuality may be more strongly affected by cultural and contextual factors.<ref name=Veniegas>{{cite journal |last=Veniegas |first=Rosemary c. |author2=Terri D.

In the 1940s, zoologist [[Alfred Kinsey]] was the first to create a scale to measure the continuum of sexual orientation from hetero to homosexuality. Kinsey studied human sexuality and argued that people have the capability of being hetero or homosexual even if this trait does not present itself in the current circumstances.<ref name=Young-Bruehl>{{cite journal |last=Young-Bruehl |first=Elisabeth |title=Are Human Beings "By Nature" Bisexual? |journal=Studies in Gender and Sexuality |volume=3 |issue=2 |pages=179–213 |year=2001 |doi=10.1080/15240650209349175 }}</ref> |

From an anthropological perspective, there is large variation in the prevalence of bisexuality between different cultures.

Several studies comparing bisexuals with hetero- or homosexuals have indicated that bisexuals have higher rates of sexual activity, fantasy or erotic interest. Van Wyk and Geist (1984) found that male and female bisexuals had more sexual fantasy than heterosexuals. Dixon (1985) found that bisexual men had more sexual activities with women than did heterosexual men. Bisexual men masturbated more but had fewer happy marriages than heterosexuals. Bressler and Lavender (1986) found that bisexual women had more orgasms per week and they described them as stronger than those of hetero- or homosexual women. They also found that marriages with a bisexual female were happier than heterosexual unions, observed less instance of hidden infidelity, and ended in divorce less frequently. Goode and Haber (1977) found bisexual women to be sexually mature earlier, masturbate and enjoy masturbation more and to be more experienced in different types of heterosexual contact.<ref name=VanWyk/> |

Recent research suggests that, for most women, high sex drive is associated with increased sexual attraction to both women and men. For men, however, high sex drive is associated with increased attraction to one sex or the other, but not to both, depending on sexual orientation.<ref>Lippa, R. A., 2006. ''Psychological Science," 17, 46–52</ref> Similarly for most bisexual women, high sex drive is associated with increased sexual attraction to both women and men; while for bisexual men, high sex drive is associated with increased attraction to one sex, and weakened attraction to the other.<ref name=Muscarella>{{cite journal |last=Lippa |first=Richard A. |title=The Relation Between Sex Drive and Sexual Attraction to Men and Women: A Cross-National Study of Heterosexual, Bisexual, and Homosexual Men and Women |journal=Archives of Sexual Behavior |volume=36 |pages=209–222 |

===Maskulinisasi=== |

<!-- |

[[Masculinization]] of women and hypermasculinization of men has been a central theme in sexual orientation research. There are several studies suggesting that bisexuals have a high degree of masculinization. LaTorre and Wendenberg (1983) found differing personality characteristics for bisexual, heterosexual and homosexual women. Bisexuals were found to have fewer personal insecurities than heterosexuals and homosexuals. This finding defined bisexuals as self-assured and less likely to suffer from mental instabilities. The confidence of a secure identity consistently translated to more masculinity than other subjects. This study did not explore societal norms, prejudices, or the feminization of homosexual males.<ref name=VanWyk/> |

In a research comparison, published in the ''Journal of the Association for Research in [[Otolaryngology]]'', women usually have a better hearing sensitivity than males, assumed by researchers as a genetic disposition connected to child bearing. Homosexual and bisexual women have been found to have a hypersensitivity to sound in comparison to heterosexual women, suggesting a genetic disposition to not tolerate high pitched tones. While heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual men have been found to exhibit similar patterns of hearing, there was a notable differential within a sub-group of males identified as hyperfeminized homosexual males who exhibited test results similar to heterosexual women.<ref>{{cite journal |

The prenatal hormonal theory of sexual orientation suggests that people who are exposed to excess levels of sex hormones have masculinized brains and show increased homosexuality or bisexuality. Studies providing evidence for the masculinization of the brain have, however, not been conducted to date. Research on special conditions such as [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]] (CAH) and exposure to [[diethylstilbestrol]] (DES) indicate that prenatal exposure to, respectively, excess testosterone and [[estrogen]]s are associated with female–female sex fantasies in adults. Both effects are associated with bisexuality rather than homosexuality.<ref name=Veniegas/> |
|||
There is research evidence that the digit [[ratio]] of the length of the 2nd and 4th digits (index finger and ring finger) is somewhat negatively related to prenatal testosterone and positively to estrogen. Studies measuring the fingers found a statistically significant skew in the 2D:4D ratio (long ring finger) towards homosexuality with an even lower ratio in bisexuals. It is suggested that exposure to high prenatal testosterone and low prenatal estrogen concentrations is one cause of homosexuality whereas exposure to very high testosterone levels may be associated with bisexuality. Because testosterone in general is important for sexual differentiation, this view offers an alternative to the suggestion that male homosexuality is genetic.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Robinson, SJ & Manning, TJ|title=The ratio of 2nd to 4th digit length and male homosexuality |journal=Evolution and Human Behavior |volume=21 |pages=333–345 |year=2000 |id= [[Publisher Item Identifier|PII]] S1090-5138(00)00052-0 |doi=10.1016/S1090-5138(00)00052-0 |pmid=11053694 |issue=5}}</ref> |

The prenatal hormonal theory suggests that a homosexual orientation results from exposure to excessive testosterone causing an over-masculinized brain. This is contradictory to another hypothesis that homosexual preferences may be due to a feminized brain in males. However, it has also been suggested that homosexuality may be due to high prenatal levels of unbound testosterone that results from a lack of receptors at particular brain sites. Therefore the brain could be feminized while other features, such as the 2D:4D ratio could be over-masculinized.<ref name=Muscarella/> --> |

[[Simon LeVay]]'s (1991) examination at autopsy of 18 homosexual men, 1 bisexual man, 16 presumably heterosexual men and 6 presumably heterosexual women found that the [[INAH 3]] nucleus of the anterior [[hypothalamus]] of homosexual men was smaller than that of heterosexual men and closer in size of heterosexual women. Although grouped with homosexuals, the INAH 3 size of the one bisexual subject was similar to that of the heterosexual men.<ref name=VanWyk/> --> |

Some evidence supports the concept of biological precursors of bisexual orientation in genetic males. According to Money (1988), men with an extra [[Y chromosome]] are more likely to be bisexual, [[paraphilic]] and impulsive.<ref name=VanWyk/> --> |

===Teori evolusioner=== |
|||
<!-- |
|||
Some evolutionary psychologists have argued that same-sex attraction does not have adaptive value because it has no association with potential reproductive success. Instead, bisexuality can be due to normal variation in brain plasticity. More recently, it has been suggested that same-sex alliances may have helped males climb the social hierarchy giving access to females and reproductive opportunities. Same-sex allies could have helped females to move to the safer and resource richer center of the group, which increased their chances of raising their offspring successfully.<ref name=Muscarella/> |
|||
Brendan Zietsch of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research proposes the alternative theory that men exhibiting female traits become more attractive to females and are thus more likely to mate, provided the genes involved do not drive them to complete rejection of heterosexuality.<ref>[http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=12465295 How homosexuality may have evolved]</ref> |
|||
Also, in a 2008 study, its authors stated that "There is considerable evidence that human sexual orientation is genetically influenced, so it is not known how homosexuality, which tends to lower reproductive success, is maintained in the population at a relatively high frequency." They hypothesized that "while genes predisposing to homosexuality reduce homosexuals' reproductive success, they may confer some advantage in heterosexuals who carry them." and their results suggested that "genes predisposing to homosexuality may confer a mating advantage in heterosexuals, which could help explain the evolution and maintenance of homosexuality in the population."<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Zietsch | first1 = B. | last2 = Morley | first2 = K. | last3 = Shekar | first3 = S. | last4 = Verweij | first4 = K. | last5 = Keller | first5 = M. | last6 = Macgregor | first6 = S. | year = 2008 | title = Genetic factors predisposing to homosexuality may increase mating success in heterosexuals | url = | journal = Evolution and Human Behavior | volume = 29 | issue = 6| pages = 424–433 | doi = 10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2008.07.002 | display-authors = 6 | last7 = Wright | first7 = M | last8 = Bailey | first8 = J | last9 = Martin | first9 = N }}</ref> |

In ''[[Scientific American Mind]]'', scientist Emily V. Driscoll stated that homosexual and bisexual behavior is quite common in several species and that it fosters bonding: "The more homosexuality, the more peaceful the species". The article also stated: "Unlike most humans, however, individual animals generally cannot be classified as gay or straight: an animal that engages in a same-sex flirtation or partnership does not necessarily shun heterosexual encounters. Rather, many species seem to have ingrained homosexual tendencies that are a regular part of their society. That is, there are probably no strictly gay critters, just bisexual ones. Animals don't do sexual identity. They just do sex."<ref name="Unorthodox">{{cite web|url=http://richarddawkins.net/articles/2850 |title=Bisexual Species: Unorthodox Sex in the Animal Kingdom}}{{dead link|date=April 2014}}</ref> --> |

[[Sparta]]ns thought that love and erotic relationships between experienced and novice soldiers would solidify combat loyalty and [[unit cohesion]], and encourage heroic tactics as men vied to impress their lovers. Once the younger soldiers reached maturity, the relationship was supposed to become non-sexual, but it is not clear how strictly this was followed. There was some stigma attached to young men who continued their relationships with their mentors into adulthood.<ref name="livius"/> For example, [[Aristophanes]] calls them ''euryprôktoi'', meaning "wide arses", and depicts them like women.<ref name="livius"/> |

It was expected and socially acceptable for a freeborn Roman man to want sex with both female and male partners, as long as he took the penetrative role.<ref>Amy Richlin, ''The Garden of Priapus: Sexuality and Aggression in Roman Humor'' (Oxford University Press, 1983, 1992), p. 225.</ref> The morality of the behavior depended on the social standing of the partner, not gender ''per se''. Both women and young men were considered normal objects of desire, but outside marriage a man was supposed to act on his desires only with slaves, prostitutes (who were often slaves), and the ''[[Sexuality in ancient Rome#Pleasure and infamy|infames]]''. Gender did not determine whether a sexual partner was acceptable, as long as a man's enjoyment did not encroach on another's man integrity. It was immoral to have sex with another freeborn man's wife, his marriageable daughter, his underage son, or with the man himself; sexual use of another man's slave was subject to the owner's permission. Lack of self-control, including in managing one's [[sex life]], indicated that a man was incapable of governing others; too much indulgence in "low sensual pleasure" threatened to erode the elite male's identity as a cultured person.<ref>Catharine Edwards, "Unspeakable Professions: Public Performance and Prostitution in Ancient Rome," in ''Roman Sexualities'', pp. 67–68.</ref> --> |

Because some bisexual people do not feel that they fit into either the [[gay community|homosexual]] or the heterosexual world, and because they have a tendency to be "invisible" in public, some bisexual persons are committed to forming their own communities, culture, and political movements. Some who identify as bisexual may merge themselves into either homosexual or heterosexual society. Still, other bisexual people see this merging as [[Bisexual erasure|enforced]] rather than voluntary; bisexual people can [[Biphobia|face exclusion]] from both homosexual and heterosexual society on coming out. Psychologist Beth Firestein states that bisexuals tend to internalize social tensions related to their choice of partners<ref name="newgen">{{cite web|url=http://www.apa.org/monitor/feb02/generation.html |title=A new generation of issues for LGBT clients |accessdate=16 February 2007 |author=DeAngelis, Tori |date=February 2002 |work=Monitor on Psychology |publisher=American Psychological Association}}</ref> and feel pressured to label themselves as homosexuals instead of occupying the difficult middle ground where attraction to people of both sexes would defy society's value on monogamy.<ref name="newgen"/> These social tensions and pressure may affect bisexuals' mental health, and specific therapy methods have been developed for bisexuals to address this concern.<ref name="newgen"/> |

Bisexual behaviors are also associated in popular culture with [[men who have sex with men|men who engage in same-sex activity]] while otherwise presenting as heterosexual.

A common symbol of the bisexual community is the [[bisexual pride flag]], which has a deep pink stripe at the top for homosexuality, a blue one on the bottom for heterosexuality, and a purple one, blended from the pink and blue, in the middle to represent bisexuality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biflag.com/Activism.asp |title=Bi Pride Flag |accessdate=16 February 2007 |author=Page, Michael |quote=The pink color represents sexual attraction to the same sex only, homosexuality, the blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only, heterosexuality, and the resultant overlap color purple represents sexual attraction to both sexes (bi).}}{{dead link|date=April 2014}}</ref> --> |

Many homosexual and bisexual individuals have a problem with the use of the [[pink triangle]] symbol, as it was the symbol that [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s regime use to tag and persecute homosexuals (similar to the yellow [[Star of David]] constituted of two opposed, overlapping triangles). Therefore, a double moon symbol was devised specifically to avoid the use of triangles.<ref name="symbol">{{cite web|url=http://andrejkoymasky.com/lou/sym/sym05.html |title=Gay Symbols: Other Miscellaneous Symbols |accessdate=18 February 2007 |author=Koymasky, Matt |author2=Koymasky Andrej |date=14 August 2006}}</ref> The double moon symbol is common in Germany and surrounding countries.<ref name="symbol"/> Another symbol used for bisexuality is a purple diamond, conceptually derived from the intersection of two triangles, pink and blue (respectively), placed overlapping. --> |

[[Virginia Woolf]]'s ''[[Orlando: A Biography]]'' (1928) is an early example of bisexuality in literature. The story, of a man who changes into a woman without a second thought, was based on the life of Woolf's lover [[Vita Sackville-West]]. Woolf used the gender switch to avoid the book being banned for homosexual content. The pronouns switch from male to female as Orlando's gender changes. Woolf's lack of definite pronouns allows for ambiguity and lack of emphasis on gender labels.<ref name="livia">Livia, Anna (2000). ''Pronoun Envy: Literary Uses of Linguistic Gender.'' Oxford University Press, ISBN 9780195138535</ref> Her 1925 book ''[[Mrs Dalloway]]'' focused on a bisexual man and a bisexual woman in sexually unfulfilled heterosexual marriages in later life. Following Sackille-West's death, her son [[Nigel Nicolson]] published ''[[Portrait of a Marriage]]'', one of her diaries recounting her affair with a woman during her marriage to [[Harold Nicolson]]. Other early examples include works of [[D.H. Lawrence]], such as ''[[Women in Love]]'' (1920), and [[Colette]]'s ''[[Claudine à l'école|Claudine]]'' (1900–1903) series. |

Orientasi seksual |
---|
Berbagai orientasi seksual |
Kategori non-biner |
Penelitian |
|
Biseksualitas merupakan ketertarikan romantis, ketertarikan seksual, atau kebiasaan seksual kepada pria maupun wanita. Istilah ini umumnya digunakan dalam konteks ketertarikan manusia untuk menunjukkan perasaan romantis atau seksual kepada pria maupun wanita sekaligus.[1][2][3] Istilah ini juga didefinisikan sebagai meliputi ketertarikan romantis atau seksual pada semua jenis identitas gender atau pada seseorang tanpa mempedulikan jenis kelamin atau gender biologis orang tersebut, yang terkadang disebut panseksualitas.[4][5][6]
Biseksualitas adalah salah satu dari tiga klasifikasi utama orientasi seksual, bersama dengan heteroseksualitas dan homoseksualitas, yang masing-masing merupakan bagian dari Rangkaian kesatuan heteroseksual-homoseksual. Suatu identitas biseksual tidak harus memiliki ketertarikan seksual yang sama besar pada kedua jenis kelamin; biasanya, orang-orang yang memiliki ketertarikan pada kedua jenis kelamin tetapi memiliki tingkat ketertarikan yang berbeda juga mengidentifikasikan diri mereka sebagai biseksual.[7] Biseksualitas umumnya dikontraskan dengan homoseksualitas, heteroseksualitas, dan aseksualitas.
Biseksualitas telah teramati terdapat dalam berbagai golongan masyarakat manusia[8] dan juga pada kelompok hewan[9][10][11] di sepanjang sejarah tertulis. Istilah biseksualitas, sebagaimana hetero- dan homoseksualitas, diciptakan pada abad ke-19 M.[12]
Definisi
Orientasi, identitas, kebiasaan seksual
Biseksualitas merupakan ketertariksan romantis atau seksual pada pria dan wanita. American Psychological Association menegaskan bahwa "orientasi seksual merupakan suatu kontinum ("rangkaian kesatuan"). Dengan kata lain, seseorang tidak pasti benar-benar heteroseksual atau homoseksual, tetapi bisa merasakan keduanya dengan taraf yang bervariasi. Orientasi seksual berkembang sepanjang masa hidup seseorang -orang-orang yang berbeda menyadari apakah mereka hetersoseksual, biseksual, atau homoseksual pada titik-titik berbeda dalam hidup mereka."[7][13]
Ketertarikan, kebiasaan, dan identitas seksual juga bisa tidak sama, sebab ketertarikan atau kebiasaan seksual tidak harus konsisten dengan identitas seksual. Beberapa individu mengidentifikasi diri mereka sebagai heteroseksual, homoseksual, atau biseksual tanpa pernah mengalami pengalaman seksual. Yang lain memiliki pengalaman homoseksual tetapi tidak menganggap diri mereka gay, lesbian, atau biseksual.[13] Demikian juga, individu-individu yang mengidentifikasi diri mereka sebagai gay atau lesbian bisa jadi beberapa kali tertarik dengan lawan jenisnya tetapi tidak mengidentifikasi mereka sebagai biseksual.[13] Istilah queer,[5] poliseksual,[5] heterofleksibel, homofleksibel, pria yang berhubungan seks dengan pria, dan wanita yang berhubungan seks dengan wanita juga bisa digunakan untuk menggambarkan identitas seksual atau mengidentifikasi kebiasaan seksual.
Panseksualitas dapat digolongkan ke dalam biseksualitas, beberapa sumber menyebutkan bahwa biseksualitas mencakup ketertarikan romantis atau seksual pada semua identitas gender atau memiliki ketertarikan seksual pada seseorang terlepas dari jenis kelamin biologis atau gender orang tersebut.[4][6] Dalam pengertian ini, istilah panseksualitas digunakan bergantian dengan biseksualitas.[6] Konsep panseksualitas dengan sengaja menolak gender binary, "gagasan mengenai dua jenis gender dan orientasi seksual yang spesifik",[6] sebab kaum panseksual terbuka untuk menjalin hubungan dengan mereka yang tidak mengidentifikasi diri mereka sebagai pria atau wanita secara tegas.[4][6]
Aktivis biseksual bernama Robyn Ochs mendefiniskan biseksualitas sebagai "potensi untuk tertarik -secara romantika dan/atau seksual- pada orang-orang dengan lebih dari satu jenis kelamin dan/atau gender, tidak harus pada saat yang bersamaan, tidak harus dengan cara yang sama, dan tidak harus dengan derajat ketertarikan yang sama."[14]
Menurut Rosario, Schrimshaw, Hunter, Braun (2006):
... perkembangan suatu identitas seksual lesbian, gay, atau biseksual (LGB) merupakan suatu proses yang kompleks dan seringkali sulit. Tidak seperti anggota kelompok minoritas lain (misalnya etnis atau ras minoritas), kebanyakan individu-individu LGB tidak dibesarkan dalam suatu komunitas yang sama dengannya, darimana ia bisa belajar mengenai identitas mereka dan yang menguatkan serta mendukung identitas mereka. Malah, individu-individu LGB seringkali dibesarkan dalam komunitas yang mungkin tidak peduli atau malah bermusuhan secara terang-terangan terhadap homoseksualitas.[7]
Biseksualitas sebagai sebuah identitas peralihan juga telah dipelajari. Dalam sebuah penelitian longitudinal atas perkembangan identitas seksual pada remaja lesbian, gay, dan biseksual {LGB), Rosario dkk "menemukan bukti atas konsistensi yang cukup dan perubahan identitas seksual LGB sepanjang waktu". Para remaja yang telah mengidentifikasi diri sebagai gay/lesbian sekaligus biseksual pada penilaian awal, kira-kira tiga kali lebih sering mengidentifikasi diri sebagai gay/lesbian dibandingkan biseksual pada penilaian berikutnya. Para remaja yang hanay mengidentifikasi sebagai biseksual pada penilaian awal, 60–70% tetap berpegang pada identitas tersebut, sementara sekitar 30–40% mengasumsikan identitas gay/lesbian. Rosario dkk menduga bahwa "meskipun terdapat para remaja yang secara konsisten mengidentifikasi diri sebagai biseksual sepanjang penelitian, pada remaja yang lain, identitas biseksual menjadi suatu indentitas transisional sebelum mereka selanjutnya mengidentitaskan diri sebagai gay/ biseksual."[7] Sebaliknya, sebuah penelitian longitudinal yang dilakukan oleh Lisa M. Diamond terhadap para wanita yang mengidentifikasi diri mereka sebagai lesbian, biseksual, atau tanpa keterangan, menemukan bahwa "lebih banyak wanita yang menggunakan identitas biseksual/tanpa keterangan daripada melepaskannya," selama suatu periode yang panjangnya adalah 10 tahun. Penelitian tersebut juga menemukan bahwa "para wanita biseksual/tanpa keterangan memiliki keseluruhan distribusi yang stabil atas ketertarikan terhadap sesama-jenis/lawan-jenis."[15] Diamond juga meneliti biseksualitas pria, menyebutkan bahwa survei penelitian tersebut menemukan "...hampir sama jumlah pria yang berubah pada satu titik dari gay menjadi biseksual, queer, atau tanpa keterangan, dengan dari identitas biseksual menjadi gay."[16][17]
Akurasi penamaan
Sebagaimana orang-orang dengan seksualitas LGBT lainnya, biseksual seringkali juga mengalami diskriminasi. Selain diskriminasi yang berhubungan dengan homofobia, kaum biseksual juga mengalami diskriminasi dari para gay, lesbian, dan straight mengenai kata biseksual dan identitas biseksual itu sendiri.[18][19][20][21] Anggapan bahwa biseksualitas itu tidak ada cukup sering dijumpai,[18] dan berakar pada dua pandangan. Menurut pandangan heteroseksis, masyarakat dianggap memiliki ketertarikan pada lawan jenisnya dan ini terkadang menyatakan bahwa hanya heteroseksualitas yang benar-benar ada. Dalam pandangan monoseksis, dipercaya bahwa orang-orang tidak bisa menjadi biseksual kecuali mereka memiliki ketertarikan yang benar-benar seimbang kepada kedua jenis kelamin.[18][19] Menurut pandangan ini, orang hanya mungkin menjadi homoseksual murni (gay/lesbian) atau heteroseksual murni (straight),[18] kaum homoseksual tertutup yang berharap bisa tampil seperti heteroseksual,[22] atau kaum heteroseksual yang sedang bereksperimen dengan seksualitas mereka.[20][21][23]
Anggapan bahwa seseorang tidak bisa menjadi biseksual kecuali memiliki ketertarikan seimbang dengan kedua jenis kelamin telah ditentang oleh berbagai peneliti, yang melaporkan bahwa biseksualitas memiliki rentang ketertarikan, sebagaimana seksualitas pada umumnya.[7][24] Tahun 2005, anggapan bahwa biseksualitas harus memiliki ketertarikan seksual/romantis yang seimbang didukung oleh Gerulf Rieger, Meredith L. Chivers, dan J. Michael Bailey,[25] yang menyimpulkan bahwa biseksualitas sangat jarang terjadi pada pria. Kesimpulan tersebut didasarkan pada tes penile plethysmograph yang kontroversial saat relawan diberi suguhan materi pornografi yang berisi pria saja dan wanita saja. Kritik yang muncul menyatakan bahwa penelitian tersebut berlandaskan asumsi bahwa seorang pria hanya benar-benar biseksual jika respon yang ditunjukkan oleh alat kelaminnya saat menonton pronografi yang hanya menampilkan wanita adalah sama seperti saat menonton pornografi yang hanya menampilkan pria. Terlebih lagi, pernyataan tegas Bailey bahwa "gairah pada pria adalah orientasi" dikritik oleh Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) sebagai sebuah penyederhanaan yang telah mengabaikan kebiasaan dan indentifikasi-diri.[26] Penelitian Bailey juga merekrut responden pria melalui iklan yang muncul pada "majalah-majalah gay" dan sebuah surat kabar alternatif di Chicago, tidak melakukan proses pemeriksaan selain pernyataan responden bahwa diri mereka seorang biseksual supaya bisa diterima sebagai responden serta dibayar.[24] Selain itu, beberapa peneliti berpegang bahwa teknik yang digunakan dalam penelitian untuk mengukur gairah alat kelamin dinilai terlalu kasar untuk menangkap kekayaan (sensasi, afeksi, dan kekaguman erotis) yang menunjukkan ketertarikan seksual.[24] National Gay and Lesbian Task Force menyebut penelitian dan The New York Times menutupi kecacatan dan bifobia yang ada di dalamnya.[27]
Terdapat pernyataan bahwa penelitian Bailey telah mengalami kesalahan interpretasi dan pelaporan.[28] Tahun 2008, pada sebuah penelitian baru yang menggunakan teknologi sama tetapi berbeda kriteria perekrutan serta stimulan yang digunakan, Bailey berkata bahwa ia menemukan pola gairah alat kelamin biseksual pada pria.[28][29] Tahun 2011, ia dan para peneliti yang lain melaporkan bahwa spesifik pada pria yang memiliki sejarah hubungan romantis dan seksual dengan kedua jenis kelamin, tingkat gairah seksual yang tinggi muncul sebagai respon untuk stimulan pria serta wanita.[30][31] Penulis mencatat bahwa perubahan strategi perekrutan menjadi sebuah perbedaan yang penting, tetapi tidak ada cukup data untuk menetapkan protokol yang dapat memberikan sampel yang cukup mewakili komunitas pria biseksual. Dengan mengutip faktor-faktor tersebut, mereka menyimpulkan, "Pria-pria biseksual dengan pola gairah biseksual benar-benar ada, dan mereka menjadi kesempatan menarik untuk menerangi perkembangan dan ekspresi orientasi seksual pada pria."[31] Sebuah penelitian lebih lanjut menemukan suatu pola gairah seksual yang lebih kuat oada pria-pria biseksual, dibandingkan pria-pria heteroseksual dan homoseksual, tetapi tidak semua pria biseksual yang menampilkan pola gairah seperti itu.[32]
Skala Kinsey
Skala Kinsey digunakan untuk menggambarkan pengalaman atau respon seksual seseorang pada waktu tertentu. Skala ini memiliki range dari 0 (memiliki arti eksklusif heteroseksual) hingga 6 (memiliki arti homoseksual eksklusif).[33] Orang-orang yang memiliki nilai 2 hingga 4 seringkali dianggap biseksual; mereka umumnya tidak benar-benar ekstrim pada yang satu atau yang lain.[34] Pada prinsipnya, orang-orang yang memiliki nilai 1 hingga 5 dapat dianggap biseksual.[35]
Prevalensi
Penelitian Alfred Kinsey pada tahun 1948 yang berujudl Kebiasaan Seksual pada Pria menemukan bahwa "46% populasi pria pernah melakukan aktivitas heteroseksual dan homoseksual, atau 'bereaksi pada' orang-orang pada kedua jenis kelamin, selama menjalani kehidupan dewasa mereka".[36] Kinsey sendiri tidak senang pada penggunaan istilah bisexual untuk menggambarkan individu-individu yang melakukan aktivitas seksual dengan pria dan wanita, melainkan menggunakan istilah biseksual dalam pengertian asli dan biologisnya yaitu hermafrodit, menyatakan, "Hingga dapat dibuktikan [bahwa] selera dalam suatu hubungan seksual tergantung pada individu yang memiliki organ pria dan wanita, atau kapasitas fisiologis pria dan wanita pada tubuhnya, sangat disayangkan untuk menyebut individu seperti itu sebagai biseksual."[18][37]
The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior (lit. "Laporan Janus Mengenai Kebiasaan Seksual) yang diterbitkan tahun 1993, menunjukkan bahwa 5 persen pria dan 3 persen wanita menganggap diri mereka biseksual serta 4 persen pria dan 2 persen wanita menganggap diri mereka homoseksual.[38]
Sebuah survei tahun 2002 di Amerika Serikat yang dilakukan oleh National Center for Health Statistics menemukan bahwa 1,8 persen pria dengan usia 18–44 tahun menganggap diri mereka biseksual, 2,3 persen homoseksual, dan 3,9 persen sebagai "lain-lain". Survei yang sama menemukan bahwa 2,8 persen wanita berusia 18–44 tahun menganggap diri mereka biseksual, 1,3 persen homoseksual, dan 3,8 persen sebagai "lain-lain".[38]
Pada tahun 2007, sebuah artikel dalam bagian 'Kesehatan' dari The New York Times menyebutkan bahwa "1,5 persen wanita Amerika dan 1,7 persen pria Amerika mengidentifikasikan diri mereka [sebagai] biseksual."[24] Juga pada tahun 2007, dilaporkan bahwa 14,4% wanita muda Amerika Serikat mengidentifikasikan diri mereka sebagai "tidak benar-benar heteroseksual", dan 5,6% pria mengidentifikasi sebagai gay atau biseksual.[39]
Sebuah penelitian dalam jurnal Psikologi Biologis pada tahun 2011 melaporkan bahwa terdapat pria-pria yang mengidentifikasikan diri mereka sebagai biseksual dan bergairah baik pada pria maupun wanita.[40]
Berbagai penelitian, teori, dan tanggapan masyarakat
Tidak ada konsensus diantara para ahli mengenai alasan yang tepat mengapa seorang individu mengembangkan orientasi heteroseksual, biseksual, atau homoseksual.[41]Alasan-alasan yang diajukan anatar lain adalah sebuah kombinasi dari faktor-faktor genetika[42][43] dan faktor-faktor lingkungan (termasuk urutan kelahiran, yaitu jika memiliki banyak kakak pria seseorang akan lebih cenderung untuk menjadi homoseksual; pemaparan hormon-hormon spesifik pra-kelahiran, yaitu hormon-hormon berperan dalam menentukan orientasi seksual sebagaimana yang terjadi pada dalam hal diferensiasi jenis kelamin;[44][45] dan stres pra-kelahiran pada ibu[46][47][48]).
American Academy of Pediatrics telah menyatakan bahwa "orientasi seksual mungkin tidak ditentukan oleh satu jenis faktor tetapi oleh kombinasi pengaruh genetika, hormonal, dan lingkungan."[49] American Psychological Association telah menyatakan bahwa "kemungkinan terdapat banyak alasan untuk orientasi seksual seseorang dan alasan-alasan tersebut kemungkinan berbeda untuk orang-orang yang berbeda". Mereka memberikan pernyataan lebih lanjut, untuk kebanyakan orang, orientasi seksual ditentukan pada usia yang masih muda.[50] American Psychiatric Association menyatakan: "Untuk waktunya tidak ada penelitian ilmiah berulang yang mendukung etiologi biologikal spesifik manapun untuk homoseksualitas. Demikian pula, tidak ada psikososial atau dinamika keluarga penyebab homoseksualitas yang spesifik yang telah diidentifikasikan, termasuk sejarah-sejarah kekerasan seksual semasa kanak-kanak."[51] Penelitian pada bagaimana orientasi seksual mungkin ditentukan oleh genetika atau faktor-faktor pra-kelahiran lainnya memainkan peran dalam perdebatan politik dan sosial mengenai homosekdualitas, dan juga meningkatkan rasa takut pada penggambaran genetika dan diagnosa pra-kelahiran.[52]

Pada beberapa konteks, istilah panseksualitas digunakan bergantian dengan biseksualitas, yang merujuk pada ketertarikan pada individu-individu dari kedua jenis kelamin... Mereka yang dikenali sebagai biseksual merasa bahwa gender, jenis kelamin biologis, dan orientasi seksual tidak menjadi hal yang penting untuk menjalin hubungan yang potensial.
