But many people who identify as bisexual are be more attracted to men or more attracted to women. Some say they are attracted to men and women in different ways, and others say gender is not relevant to whom they are interested in. One way of understanding this is the Kinsey scale. Kinsey put sexual orientation on a scale from 0 to 6, with 0 being exclusively heterosexual and 6 exclusively homosexual. But people whose experiences fall in the 1 to 5 range may also chose to identify as bisexual.
Bisexual people are more promiscuous than heterosexual or gay and lesbian people.
It is independent of the decision to be monogamous or non-monogamous. Some heterosexuals, gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are monogamous, others are not. It is a mistake to assume that because someone has the potential to be attracted to men and women, they must have twice as many sex partners. Bisexuals need at least one partner of each gender. Most bisexuals do not have to be involved with more than one gender at a time in order to feel fulfilled.
