Line 10:
Of course, then there's the ''other'' extreme: '''Everyone Is Bi'''. Gender, aside from a few token comments, is hardly a factor in the characters' relationships; the [[Jumping the Gender Barrier|gender barrier]] seems an alien concept.
What this trope is ''not'' is, for example, the webcomic ''[[Umlaut House]]''. While about half the cast is bisexual, the other half is explicitly not - and even if the ratio were different, the fact that [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|neither half will
And sometimes, even when everyone is ''straight'', [[Everyone Is Gay|the fans don't seem to think so]].
Line 86:
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Time Enough for Love]],'' Ishtar and Galahad agree to "Seven Hours of Pleasure," even though they have so far seen each other only in all-concealing biohazard-protection suits and, thus, neither knows the other's sex. It is strongly implied that in their society (the Howard Families colony-world of Secundus), it is considered in bad taste even to care.
** Each one is pleasantly surprised to learn the sex of the other, as Ishtar is oddly tall and Galahad is oddly short. And both are absurdly beautiful, particularly Galahad (think the statue of David, except not terrified).
* An [[Informed Ability]] in the [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]]. In ''All-Consuming Fire'' Benny says that bisexuality is the norm in the 25th century (although she personally isn't). Subsequent books set in Benny's home era have offered no evidence of this.
* In ''[[The Neanderthal Parallax]]'', litterally everyone in Neanderthal society is Bi, being expected to take a "man-mate" and a "woman-mate".
Line 226:
* There's a joke that goes like this: "If you give people two choices in flavors, nobody will stick to one just because they're told to".
* Freud said that humans have a predisposition toward bisexuality, but become monosexual through psychological development, while the bisexuality remains in a latent state. In other words, Everyone Is Bi.
* Believed to be a case with women by some. Back in the pre-historical ages, humans were decidedly polygamous, having large harems of at least several women serving one man. This theory adapts Freud's and Kinsey's musings on bisexuality and merges them with the concept that men are simply not flexible enough for bisexuality because of their status as sole male. And indeed, bisexual males are much more rare than bisexual females. It would also explain why many men think [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]] while the vice versa is rarely the case - lesbianism is actually a mechanism of foreplay for a threesome or moresome.
* Danni Ashe, adult model and businesswoman, frequently conducts interviews with other adult models on her website. In these interviews the question of sexuality inevitably comes up, and the answer is inevitably some variation of being bisexual. Like, nearly every single one. Whether they're being honest is up to the viewer...
