    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Psychology
    • Gender Studies

    Background:

    • Traditional theories of sexuality often oversimplify identity into a strict dichotomy.
    • Research indicates a significant population experiences both homosexual and heterosexual interests and behaviors.
    • Bisexuality remains inadequately addressed in both societal and academic discourse.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically analyze conceptualizations of human sexuality that fail to encompass bisexuality.
    • To investigate the sociological concept of marginality as applied to bisexual individuals.
    • To explore the implications of societal acceptance of bisexuality for relationship structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Sociological analysis of existing theories on sexuality.
    • Examination of the concept of marginality in relation to bisexual identity.
    • Analysis of self-labeling differences between men and women based on social sex roles.

    Main Results:

    • Popular notions of sexuality create a false dichotomy, neglecting bisexual experiences.
    • Bisexual individuals face marginalization from both heterosexual and homosexual communities.
    • Social sex roles influence self-labeling differences in bisexual men and women.

    Conclusions:

    • Societal frameworks must evolve to acknowledge and validate bisexuality.
    • Understanding bisexuality's marginalization is crucial for individual well-being.
    • Acceptance of bisexuality has profound implications for the future of relationships.
