Attraction does not necessitate acting on every desire. Just as there is a range of behaviors within heterosexual society and the lesbian and gay communities, there is also a range within the bisexual community. The bisexual population has the same variety of sexual activity as other groups. Bisexuality is a sexual orientation. It is independent of the lifestyle choice to be monogamous or polyamorous.
Bisexuals are as capable as anyone of making long-term relationship commitments.
Bisexuals live a variety of lifestyles, as do gays, lesbians and heterosexuals. For many others, bisexuality remains a long term orientation. In fact, researchers are finding that homo sexuality and heterosexuality are often transitional phases in the coming-out process for bisexual people. Historically society has stigmatized same-gender attractions and denied the possibility of a bisexual orientation. In this situation, confusion is an understandable reaction until on is able to come out and find a supportive environment.
