Bisexuals constitute the fastest growing group and largest proportion within the LGBTQ+ umbrella. Their growth is driven by young women, especially women of color. But sexual orientation has changed a lot more than sexual behavior over the past decade. Generation Z bisexuals are still much more likely to opt for different-sex partners than same-sex partners.
The stark disconnect between identity and behavior raises important questions about the connections between sexual desire, identity, and behavior, and how these play out across relationships. What do tensions between desire, identity and behavior mean for sexual and gendered negotiations within relationships, and marriage?
Bisexuality is considered a flexible or fluid identity that allows individuals to maintain consistent sexual identities even as their sexual feelings and experiences change over time. But what changes and what stays the same? How do social and cultural forces shape both sexual identities and behaviors today, especially in a period of rapid change?
I am answering these questions with a longitudinal, in-depth interview study with young bisexual identified women, that follows them over time as they enter and exit relationships.
