* 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)}}. |

* ''[[Orlando: A Biography]]'' by [[Virginia Woolf]] has an immortal man switch genders after a long period of slumber. [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' turned the character into a full-fledged immortal bisexual. |

* In ''[[The Witcher]]'' books, one of the witches mentions that when you live that long you will try everything eventually. |

* One of the Light Others from ''[[Night Watch (Literature)|Night Watch]]'' named Ignat is a master of seduction, and doesn't care about the gender of his targets. He's not quite immortal, but he and all other Others can maintain youth for up to centuries, and it's implied that his bisexuality is at least in part because he's bored. He's possibly the only bisexual Other shown, but a lot of them tend toward being [[The Hedonist]]. |

* Trill in ''[[Star Trek]]'', especially Dax in ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]''. A Trill symbiant is passed down from host to host in either a male or female body, but the [[Society of Immortals|trill symbiosis commission]] forbids relations with a former lover. One episode Dax ignores this and [[Lipstick Lesbian|kisses a woman]] who the symbiants in each of them were once married together, but all her other relations on the show were straight. |

* ''[[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. |
