I am a bisexual woman and like every sexuality, the label comes with its own slew of challenges and roadblocks, one of those being the ridiculous questions I get asked. I'm sure the people asking all mean well but that doesn't make up for the sheer stupidity of the questions. Here are a few I've come across.

1. “How many threesomes have you had?”

None. Never. No. Just because I am bisexual doesn’t mean that I want to have sex with everything that breathes. I’m perfectly happy with one sexual partner at a time. Polyamory and bisexuality are not the same thing. You go ahead and have your threesome, but count me out.

2. “Why don’t you just pick one?”

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. I like both.

3. “Which one do you like better?”

Although the split might not always be 50/50, to me there isn’t one gender I like more than the other. It all comes down to the person I’m with.

4. “So when you get married will you stop identifying as bi?”

I didn’t know that once you get married your brain just stops finding all other people attractive. Oh wait, it doesn’t.

5. “You’re just biding your time until you come out as gay right?”

If I was gay I would say I’m gay. But I’m not. But my accepting and understanding boyfriend would love to hear your argument on the fact that you think I'm gay.

6. “You’re just saying that so you can sleep around and not get judged.”

First of all, are you calling me easy? Second of all, how the hell do you know about my sex life?

7. “You date girls? That’s so hot.”

Ew.

8. “Ooo lesbians! Can I watch you two make out?”

… Is an explanation really needed for this one?

At the end of the day, our sexuality isn't your business. Accept it with a smile and affirmation and move on.
