This trope does have some [[Unfortunate Implications]] however, in that it ignores the very real pattern of being attracted to one gender that is displayed by gay and straight people alike throughout their lives. Many an author also [[Unfortunate Implications|lumps it together with]] [[Immortality Immorality]], feeding into the notion that bisexuality isn't a legitimate orientation as much as it is [[Anything That Moves|promiscuity]].

* [[Chris Claremont]] originally intended to write [[Wolverine]] as [[Bi the Way|bisexual]], and although he may or may not be technically immortal, his [[Healing Factor]] definitely grants extended longevity and makes him hard to kill. Of course, at the time, fans of comic books were probably less likely to be able to grasp the idea of "a manly dude that swings both ways" and so that angle was dropped. [[Torchwood

* Averted at least twice in the [[Dresden Files]]: {{spoiler|in ''Blood Rites'' it's revealed that Lord Raith, the King of the White Court Vampires (who are essentially incubi and succubi and feed on lust rather than blood) keeps House Raith in order by sexually dominating his offspring in order to enforce psychic subservience. However, as Lord Raith is one of the few White Court vampires who isn't bisexual, he instead attempts to kill his male offspring in non-direct ways (since the White Court as a whole frowns on a lack of subtly in one's evil plots)}}.

* ''[[True Blood]]'': [[Word of God]] says that almost EVERY vampire out there is bisexual, gender being only a footnote to them. This is in stark contrast to the book series ''True Blood'' is based on, [[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]], where bisexuality is rare, outside of the occasional off-handed "I was bored" comments.
