Does bisexuality exist?
Bisexuality is the attraction to more than one gender or sex. According to National Health Statistics Reports (2016), 5.5% of women and 2% of men said they were bisexual. For a long time, people inside and outside the LGBTQ+ community have discussed whether bisexuality is a valid sexuality.
Yes, bisexuality exists
This position holds that bisexuality exists and is a natural human experience. It argues that real bisexual people are not confused or using the label as a mask for another sexuality — that science and surveys confirm many people are attracted to more than one gender.
No, bisexuality doesn't exist
This position argues that bisexuality does not exist as a distinct orientation. It holds that those who identify as bisexual are really another sexuality—claiming the label masks homosexuality or seeks attention—a view widely rejected by researchers and LGBTQ advocates.
