Being open about bisexuality can sometimes lead people to make sexual assumptions that were never invited.
Someone may immediately ask about threesomes, treat your orientation as entertainment, assume you are available to couples, or expect private details about your attractions and experiences. This can happen while dating, within friendships, online, or even after a disclosure that had nothing to do with sex.
Curiosity is not automatically disrespectful, but the way someone responds to a boundary matters. A respectful person can accept that bisexuality does not reveal your relationship preferences, sexual interests, availability, or willingness to discuss intimate subjects.
You are allowed to end the conversation, refuse personal questions, correct the assumption briefly, or distance yourself from someone who continues after being told to stop. You do not have to educate every person before your boundary deserves to be respected.
Have you experienced someone fetishising your bisexuality, and what response or boundary helped you feel more in control of the situation?
Please avoid requesting explicit details from other members or treating bisexuality as evidence of particular sexual interests.
