just a question about being bi

[Castle of Glass]

hi everyone, this though has been on my mind for quite some time:
if you are bi, can you have a boyfriend and girlfriend at the same time? so if any of you do, please answer me these questions:
1)do they know that you have the other partner?
2)do you hang out with them at the same time
3)do you have threesomes?

Pick only one relationship at a time and be faithful to the one you chose. :D

Well to answer your questions, in most cases it would be a no, excluding a few exceptions. To me the definition of "bisexual" is someone who is attracted to both genders emotionally and physically or someone who has an emotional attraction to one gender, and a physical attraction to the other. This does not mean however that they can have both a boyfriend and a girlfriend. In most cases they are with just one person that they are in love with, same as straight, gay, lesbian or transexual relationships. Just because bisexual people like both genders doesn't mean they are in a relationship with multiple people, it's simply a matter of who they love.

No it doesn't mean that. Bisexual people are just as monogamous as every other sexuality as far as I know! :)

Long story short about bisexuals: just like any other sexuality, you can be monogamous or polyamorous.

Whether you choose to be or not is a personal choice and it is not linked to your sexuality.

Bisexuals are not inherently polyamorous.

If one was to choose to have more than one partner than they absolutely must make sure that it is okay with all the people involved.

It could be an open relationship, or a 'committed relationship' with more than two people involved. Whatever works for the people involved. However if you have a boyfriend and a girlfriend at the same time and they don't know about the other partner, then it is cheating in my book.

Personally as a bisexual/pansexual/whatever I don't choose to have more than one partner at a time. Other bisexuals choose to have more than one partner, much like other hetersoexuals and homosexuals can choose to do.

That doesnt work. The best tactic is to just balance the two, letting each person know you have one other partner, for sexuality purposes.
Make sure thats alright with your partners.
If the opposite gender accepts it, the same gendered partner should accept.
I know, Im going through a relationship like this, and have for 2 weeks.

3) do you have threesomes?
One of my sexual fantasies involves a threesome, actually. Pretty fantastic one my mind made up i must say.

for all those who may have misunderstood, what i meant was if someone is bi, could they do it. i never meant it so that they are automaticallya polyamorous

Sure bi people could do it, but so could gay and straight people too! :P

Well, I'm not bi, but I have a "friend" who is, so I'll answer these on her behalf. She has both a boyfriend and a girlfriend.

1)do they know that you have the other partner? Yes
2)do you hang out with them at the same time? She does
3)do you have threesomes? No
