Do you believe bisexual people are more likely to cheat?

Question

Feel free to elaborate on thought opinion

lumos · Accepted Answer

No. Some people might argue that because "they have more options", that somehow makes them more likely to cheat. But I don't believe that. All it takes is 1 option in order to cheat. Guy or girl, straight or queer, doesn't matter. If you're the cheating kind and you have just 1 person showing interest in you, you'll likely cheat. Also being bi doesn't automatically mean that you have tons of more options. It's not like people are constantly throwing themselves at bi people for some reason.

I also don't believe in the whole "bi people will never truly be sexually fulfilled because they'll miss what their partner doesn't have" argument. That's stupid. Love is about so much more than sex, or what kind of sex you're having. If you love the person you're with and you're satisfied by what they're doing to you, it's highly unlikely that you'll "miss what you don't have". A lot of those things can also be replaced by toys, for example. There are plenty of preferences that people have and it's rare to find someone whose sexual preferences are a 100% match with yours. You might like anal but your partner might not like it. If it's not a massive deal to you, it's something you'll be able to live without. The same logic applies to just about any sexuality/sexual preference. It's such a massive spectrum and there's so much fluidity involved, you simply can't say "all bisexual people feel this way about this thing".

I think it's just a misconception that has more to do with people's insecurities than actual bisexual traits. People feel threatened by what they don't understand, and insecurities easily make you feel like you're not good enough. That easily translates into judging bisexual people, because then you just automatically assume that they're longing for something you can't give them. Insecurity is all it boils down to.

It really depends on the person. Anybody of any orientation can cheat though. But I personally think we shouldn't judge someone's faithfulness to their partner based on their sexual and romantic orientations. As relationships are built on love, trust, respect, etc. I think communication and being open is a very important factor too. Some people cheat because they didn't be more open with their partner and assumes they may not do whatever it is they feel they are missing in the relationship. To answer the question directly: Some bi people cheat and some don't. But do not ever assume all of us will, as that is wrong.

Ultimately, this comes down to character and what that individual stands for.

If they don't respect nor set boundaries, they are going to cheat regardless of their sexual orientation.

As a whole, let's just acknowledge that bi-sexual people have a bigger dating pool than any other sexual orientation and admit that we think the size of that dating pool is indicative of their inability to decide what they want in a partner.

These assumptions are always generalized, unfortunately.

That's my take.

Nope but it is true that if the person likes both they have more people they find attractive to look at since they find both attractive not just one. But finding more people attractive does not impact your morals on cheating. I could find millions of girls attractive don't mean i will cheat lol.

WhiteSteve · Answer

You could maybe argue “yes” just on the strength that 100% of humans are theoretically bait to them, then just minus all the factors that make... unisexual?🤔... people attracted to fewer than the available 50-ish% of the population, but still likely “more” potential cheating partners for bisexuals.

But from a personal character standpoint, no, I don’t believe any randomly selected bisexual person would be any more likely to cheat.

worldscolide · Answer

No, but I do lay ground rules.. Basically some bi people don't see sleeping with someone of the same sex as cheating, so I make it extremely clear in the beginning, stepping out with anyone, having sex with anyone.. For that matter sharing anything sexual with anyone regardless of gender that is not me, is cheating.

wilfh1965 · Answer

A cheater is a cheater it's more about insecurities and ego than sexual preference

Anonymous · Answer

No. A cheater is a cheater. Regardless of sexuality theyll find a way. Im bisexual and Im very loyal to my boyfriend and wouldn't ever hurt him. If a girl came up to me and wanted fun id be like ummm your pretty and all but i am happily in a relationship no thanks bye! I have a bisexual friend and she's also in a relationship and we respect each other's relationship.

Daniel3035 · Answer

Plausible because unlike heterosexuality who only have one gender as an option bisexuals have two options ie more possibilities. So I'd say so.
I mean if there's like 4 billion possibilities but for bisexuals, there's like 7-8 billion then you'd think 7-8 billion is more likely.

scott04sa22 · Answer

Anybody can cheat no matter what their sexuality is!

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

People who think bisexuals cheat more are likely misinformed about just how much heterosexuals cheat.

PeterAyre · Answer

They have done studies I believe. That bisexuals are no less likely to cheat. I think people forget how prevalent cheating is in the straight population, and mistake the prevalence of cheating in the bi population as abnormal.

No and anybody who votes for any of the first three options are homophobic lol

KellsKells · Answer

Im bisexual and I couldnt imagine cheating on my partner.  Cheating has nothing to do with sexual orientation and moreso to do with each individuals feelings and morals.

angeliquedevereux2 · Answer

Who you're attracted to has nothing to do with cheating, I smell some ✨b i p h o b i a✨ bout to happen in the comments 😀

Jjpayne · Answer

I might think so mainly because they are always going to not have the other sex that they want. Of course they could learn to be faithfil but the thought of past lovers of the gender sex they are lacking will be on their minds.

OddBeMe · Answer

Stats say lgbt are less likely. Just bc it appears like there’s more options doesn’t mean they don’t value relationships.

fall_angel-86 · Answer

Being bi doesn't mean your more likely to cheat. Cheating all behinds on the person not their sexuality.

Akshayjosh · Answer

I know a married friend of mine, mother of one, who is cheating.
And by that I mean she is sleeping with way many people, than her husband can even realize, he is a dumbass, either ways he won't do anything as he is financially dependant on her.

madgoat · Answer

It makes sense, doesn't it, given their wider eligible pool of potential partners. Dunno if the stats back it up though.

scarlett774 · Answer

A cheater is a cheater, has nothing to do with sexuality more so their mindset

mjgallager · Answer

Someone doesn't cheat because of their sexuality, someone cheats because they're an inconsiderate asshat.

Don-_-Don · Answer

It just means they have more people to possibly cheat with, but I don't think it automatically means that they'll be more likely to.

1stranger · Answer

No... I believe cheating is about personality, character.

dudeinohio · Answer

Been there done that. Never again. Had a girlfriend who cheated on me with another woman. Bi s will definitely cheat.

ThreeSheetsToTheWind · Answer

Not necessarily. It might mean more people they can potentially cheat on you with, but it doesn't mean they themselves are any more likely to cheat than a non-bisexual person.

NorthwestRider · Answer

Fuck no, a cheater is a cheater  Nothing to do with their sexual orientation

FriendlyEnigma · Answer

Definitely not, sexuality has NOTHING to do with that. It's all about the person themselves

allaboutyou2 · Answer

I don't see how sexual orientation has any effect on the likelihood of cheating.  Cheating is a character flaw not related to sexual orientation.

Feelicks · Answer

That's pretty bigoted. Straight people are the worst offenders. So much repression, and very few integrated shadows.

JonahBoy · Answer

I almost don't wanna answer this, bc I don't wanna sound biphobic. But, I think it depends on the person. Some bi people may be more attracted to men than women (but still like both nonetheless) or vice versa

FakeName123 · Answer

Statistically homosexuals and bisexuals are higher on the impulsive trait. So yes, they are.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know but I have consistently seen an attitude among bisexual women that "having sex with another woman is not cheating on my boyfriend because it's not another man".

Just bc we have more options. But if you really love someone you won't even want to cheat. Straight, bi, or gay/lesbian
