Hey guys! This is a survey for my book, and I'd be super happy if you could fill it out! I know it's really long, so you can email it to me - bpod90@hotmail.com(yay for drafts!), You guys can even message it to me in parts as I know it's horribly long.
I know it seems kind of "Bisexuality is a phase" and such, but I assure you the book won't have the same tone as the questions. The questions are for mainly the opinion parts of the book, so they have a bit of an edge (as they're based on common stereotypes, etc).
About You (yes/no or as short as possible please!)

Motivational bisexuals – are sexually active with members of both sexes for personal gain, such as exciting their partner sexually, gaining an LGBT following (in the case of celebrities), or various other reasons (a gay person being married to the opposite sex to put off discrimination, etc).

The Basics (Everything from here on long answer please!)
1. What is your definition of bisexuality? Bisexauality to me is a person who is sexually, emotionally, physically attracted to both woman and men.
2. Do you believe that bisexuality is a real sexuality? Why or Why not? I believe bisexuality is a real sexuality because nobody can choose who they can both love both genders. like gays they choose who they are attracted to it doesnt have to be one gender love is love. its the truth.
3. If an individual hasn’t been sexually active with members of the same sex, do you believe they are truly bisexual, or
just very curious?
I for one being a member of the bisexual community, have not had any sexual enounters with a women just kissing, maybe some people just haven't found the right person they want to be with. But if they truly want to have sex with that person whatever gender they are then i believe that they are truly bisexual.
4. What is your definition of bi-curiosity?
Bi-curiosity is a person who wants to experiment with both or the opposite gender to find out there sexuality.
5. Do you believe all people are curious? Why or Why not?
Not all of them arent curious this is because if people were all curious we wouldnt have had to experiement on both genders and try new things this evolves into bisexuality.

Someone who doesn't know if they like the oposite sex, but knows they like the same sex (or vise-versa, which is more uncommon)

---
The “Bisexual Trend”
Teens:
15. Have you noticed a rise in the amount of teenagers identifying as bisexual?
Yes I have
16. What are your opinions regarding teens identifying as bisexual?
Some want attention, yes... but I'm hoping that most of it is just people being more open minded. It's mainly females, but there are males too.
17. Do you believe that bisexuality is just a teen phase which eventually leads to homosexuality?
It could, it could not. It all depends on the person.
18. Do you believe that bisexuality is something teens experience when going through college, and never touch on again?
In some cases, maybe, but it all depends on the person, like I said.
19. Do you believe that teenagers identifying as bisexual (and eventually relapsing to being straight) has a negative effect on the homosexual community?
It could, because it sometimes discourages people.
Adults:
19. Have you yourself gone through a period of bisexuality? Was this a transitional period to homosexuality?
I was bi, and then I was a lesbian, and then I decided to become pansexual due to the fact that you really can't judge love by anything, it's just love.
20. Do you believe you were truly bisexual during this period of time?
I guess... I was pretty young
21. Do you believe someone can be bisexual for their entire life?
Could be, it all depends on their mind set.
22. When a female identifies herself as bisexual, are you less likely to believe her than if a male did the same? Why or why not?
Most females seem to have no problem with saying it because they get less crap for it than males do. If a guy says it, it's terrible and gross to most others.
23. Do you believe the amount of people ‘faking’ bisexuality has a harmful effect on the homosexual community?
I guess, because it makes everyone think that everyone is a faker,
‘Barsexuals’
24. Do you believe that bisexuality is being used as an attention grabbing technique? Why or why not?
It is to some people, yeah
25. What is your opinion of barsexuals (straight women who kiss other women in bars to get drinks)?

No. Not really.

35. Do you believe that bisexuality challenges the homosexual movement? Why or Why not?
Not exactly. It all depends on how people take it.
36. Do you believe that bisexuals use their heterosexual relationships to gain acceptance from friends and family
members?
I know I do! XD
37. What effects do you believe bisexuality has on the homosexual community?
A lot of people have a better time accepting those who like both sexes than those who just like the same sex simply because there is still a chance for a heterosexual relationship. A lot of people take homosexuals as a joke simply because there are a lot of people who like both sexes or just the opposite sex.
38. Do you believe that gay issues are bisexual issues as well?
It could be, but a lot of bisexuals don't seem to mind much attention to the homosexual issues.
39. Do you believe that bisexuals have different issues than homosexuals?
Yeah. A lot of people tend to say 'pick a gender and stick with it' but other than that, there's really not any different problems.
40. Do you believe there is or have you seen examples of biphobia/bi-hate in the homosexual community?
Ahahahahaha yeah! XD
41. How do you believe the homosexual community views bisexuals?
Like I keep saying, depends on the person, I don't like to consider the whole of things because everyone is different.
42. Any other comments/opinions?
Nooot really. razz
Bisexuality and the Heterosexual Community
If you are not heterosexual, please feel free to move onto the next set of questions. If you would like to answer the following questions, please feel free to do so.
43. Do you believe bisexual individuals are really just “Closet gay”
Some could be. A lot of homosexuals like to say that they are 'bisexual' and then tend to have relationships with the same sex anyways, just so they will be a little more accepted than if they were fully gay.
44. Are you more likely to believe a woman or a man when a person identifies as bisexual?
A man really, because a lot of women say it.
45. Do you believe female bisexuality is more accepted (and even encouraged) than male bisexuality is?
Heck yes, and I think it's retarded.
46. Do you believe that bisexuals are a member of the heterosexual or homosexual community?
In the middle (duh)
47. Do you believe that bisexual people are actively interested in threesomes and group sex?
Pfft. Probably.
48. Do you believe that bisexual people are more promiscuous than people of other sexualities?
They can be, but everyone's different.
49. If someone is open and visible regarding their bisexuality(jewellery, facebook, buttons, etc) are you more or less likely to believe that they are really bisexual?
I wouldn't know really until I got to know the person.
Any other comments/opinions?
Again, no.
Bisexuals:
If you are not bisexual, please feel free to move onto the next set of questions. If you would like to answer the following questions, please feel free to do so.
50. Do you openly identify as bisexual? Why or Why not?
I guess so? I prefer the term pansexual, but it really doesn't bother me to be called either.
51. Do you prefer one sex over the other?
Yes. I tend to date females more than males, but I have no problem with either.
52. Have you been a victim of ‘biphobia’?
Of course.
53. Do you find that the homosexual community welcomes you?
For the most part, yes. :]
54. Do you find that the heterosexual community welcomes you?
Again, yes. Most of my friends or the people I meet really don't care when I tell them.
55. Do you find that being a visible bisexual (having people know) causes problems with the people around you?
It can, but that just weeds out the friends I don't need.
56. Did you grow up religious?
Not at all.
57. Are you a child from a single-parent family?
Sorta, it's complicated. XD
58. If possible, please name three famous bisexuals whom you are a fan of (really for my own curiosity)
I'm not really a fan of any, but there are a lot of celebrities that are (Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc.)
59. If you would like to, please feel free to share either your story or any other comments/opinions.
I've had it easy with everything pretty much. I'm open about my sexuality. I don't go around and tell the world, but if they read any of my profiles on websites then they know. I don't care if they do or do not know. I know what I am, and even if they don't like who I am I don't give a flying poop because that just means that they don't matter to me.
---
60. Are there any questions that you feel I should have asked? If so, what are they, and what would
your response to them be?
I can't really think of any at the moment, but I will keep you posted. :]
I really don't mind if you quote me at all, pen names aren't needed either.

Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Alternating Bisexual (I'll be in a relationship with one sex... and if it doesn't work out, I'll seek/wait for the other sex and alternate.)
Faith: Christian
Political Stance: Hippie
Are you open regarding your sexuality?
- Yep.
Do you believe homosexuality is morally wrong?
- No, love is not wrong. smile
Do you believe bisexuals are just confused?
- Nope.
Have you ever identified as bisexual?
- Yep
Do you know someone who has identified as bisexual?
- Yes
Did you believe that the person was bisexual?
- Why not.
If not, do you believe they were ‘bisexual’ to gain attention?
- I know some who do that, some who don't.
The Basics (Everything from here on long answer please!)
1. What is your definition of bisexuality?
Bi - meaning two - sexuality is when a male or female happens to be sextually or romantically attracted to both male and female individuals. It is a chemical imbalance in hormones - thus being genetic, as heterosexuality or homosexuality are a different balance of said chemicals. I'm not a biologist or physicist, but I can't go wrong with known logic.
2. Do you believe that bisexuality is a real sexuality? Why or Why not?
Yes because... I've had girlfriends and boyfriends.
3. If an individual hasn’t been sexually active with members of the same sex, do you believe they are truly bisexual, or just very curious?
- It's not my place to judge that.
4. What is your definition of bi-curiosity?
- If one wants to know why they are feeling this way toward BOTH men and women.... it's "BI" curiosity... instead of trying with just ONE gender, they try with both. Bi = 2.
5. Do you believe all people are curious? Why or Why not?
- I believe that people are curious on MANY things... but i know more and more people are just born with it.

3 – interested in both sexes equally or relatively equally
4 – Mostly gay, more than incidentally heterosexual
5 – Mainly gay, very little straight behaviour/interest
6 – Completely Gay
6. What do you think of Kinsey’s scale?
- It's very inaccurate. You are either gay, straight, or bi. There is no "mostly".
7. Where do you feel you would place on Kinsey’s scale? Why?
3, coz I was born that way
8. Where do you believe most of the population falls on the scale?
- in regards to the population ONLY... (( NOT to individuals alone )) 2.
9. Where do you believe a bisexual person should fall on the scale?
.....3
10. Do you believe a bisexual person can lean more towards one sex than the other?
No. That makes them either straight, gay, or attention whore.

I grew up looking at the world as one big picture and not as tiny pictures... there is no "damnation" for loving others... there cannot be... God is too forgiving for that... and I realized... why be ashamed of these feelings? Let the world know. I'm Jessy Ellen Griffin, Alternating Bisexual... and I'm not ashamed.

The “Bisexual Trend”
Teens:
15. Have you noticed a rise in the amount of teenagers identifying as bisexual? Not really
16. What are your opinions regarding teens identifying as bisexual? If they are bi, they are bi. What does my opinion matter?
17. Do you believe that bisexuality is just a teen phase which eventually leads to homosexuality? No, I know plenty of once-teens that are still bisexuals.
18. Do you believe that bisexuality is something teens experience when going through college, and never touch on again? Depends.
19. Do you believe that teenagers identifying as bisexual (and eventually relapsing to being straight) has a negative effect on the homosexual community? Not really, as long as they don't start bashing what they once were.
Adults:
19. Have you yourself gone through a period of bisexuality? Was this a transitional period to homosexuality? Yes, and No
20. Do you believe you were truly bisexual during this period of time? Yes still am smile
21. Do you believe someone can be bisexual for their entire life? Yes, I am 7 years bi, and don't see it changing anytime soon.
22. When a female identifies herself as bisexual, are you less likely to believe her than if a male did the same? Why or why not? Nope, I knew more truly bi females in school, than males. Most the males that claimed to be bi were just trying to get with the bi females. Leads me to believe females more often then males.

26. Do you believe barsexuals are actually bisexual? Depends on the person
27. Do you believe barsexuals have a negative effect on the homosexual community? Yes, as people will eventually start thinking that all in the homosexual community is after nothing but handouts.
28. Do you yourself know someone who could be described as a barsexual? Not really.
Long-Term Bisexuality
29. Do you believe someone is still bisexual, even if they are in a lifelong relationship with one person? Yes I do, and I know a few bi-sexual couples that have been together multiple years and they still admit to being bi, and occasionally bring in a third person of any sex. (Thats another story, lol)

About You (yes/no or as short as possible please!)
Age: 21
Gender: F
Sexuality: Bi-curious
Faith: Christian
Political Stance: Neutral
Are you open regarding your sexuality? To some
Do you believe homosexuality is morally wrong? No
Do you believe bisexuals are just confused? It depends
Have you ever identified as bisexual? No, not by others
Do you know someone who has identified as bisexual? No
Did you believe that the person was bisexual? Yes
If not, do you believe they were ‘bisexual’ to gain attention? Yes
The Basics (Everything from here on long answer please!)
1. What is your definition of bisexuality?
It is when a male or female finds either gender equally attractive. He or She can equally imagine His/Herself in a committed relationship with either gender.
2. Do you believe that bisexuality is a real sexuality? Why or Why not?
Maybe. I think that one has to think really thoroughly and have been in many relationships with either gender to come to the conclusion that he/she is bisexual, because I define bisexuality as having EQUAL interest in men and women, not leaning toward one side or the other. If they are leaning toward one side or the other even the slightest, I would consider that bi-curious.
3. If an individual hasn’t been sexually active with members of the same sex, do you believe they are truly bisexual, or just very curious?
Just very curious
4. What is your definition of bi-curiosity?
Someone one who leans toward preferring one sex over the other, but wants to know what it's like to be in a sexual relationship with the less preferred sex
5. Do you believe all people are curious? Why or Why not?
No, because I know some guys who gag at the thought of a gay relationship. I don't think they hate it, I think they just find it gross and genuinely don't like the thought of it.
Kinsey’s Scale
The scale below outlines the findings of Kinsey’s Scale. The next few questions will be in regards to this scale.
The scale:
0 – Completely straight

2 – Mostly straight, more than incidentally homosexual
3 – interested in both sexes equally or relatively equally
4 – Mostly gay, more than incidentally heterosexual
5 – Mainly gay, very little straight behaviour/interest
6 – Completely Gay
6. What do you think of Kinsey’s scale?
Pretty reasonable rating. I think it covers all types of preferences unless you're into transgendered or other unmentioned genders.
7. Where do you feel you would place on Kinsey’s scale? Why?
2, because I am a bicurious female, but find a long-term, committed relationship with a man more probable
8. Where do you believe most of the population falls on the scale?
1, I remember learning that 1 in 10 family members are gay, so it's common but not overwhelmingly common.
9. Where do you believe a bisexual person should fall on the scale?
3
10. Do you believe a bisexual person can lean more towards one sex than the other?
Yes

Conditional Bisexuals – People who wouldn’t otherwise be bisexual, but who display homosexual behaviour in a same-sex environment (i.e. inmates in prison, students at a gender-specific school).

No
