* Some people (notably, Creator/DanSavage) have suggested that female sexuality is naturally more fluid and less amenable to clear labels than male sexuality. In his words, Every Woman is Bi.

* Some people (notably, Creator/DanSavage) have suggested that female sexuality is naturally more fluid and less amenable to clear labels than male sexuality. In his words, Every Woman is Bi. Many studies have evidenced this, showing that straight women get aroused by lesbian porn and vice versa, while men are only aroused by porn fitting their orientation. It should be noted these same studies showed that women were more likely than men to [[FanDisservice get aroused by animals mating,]] however.

* TheMightyBoosh: Ended up like this by season 3 for the most part, if the character wasn't gay. Virtually every minor or major character mistook Vince for a woman and hit on him, and didn't seem put off when he turned out to be a man. Male villains fell for Howard as well, notably the Hitcher, who only wanted to rape women before him. In season one, Howard's female crush showed lots of interest in Vince, but her last appearance saw her falling in love with a female panda, who had previously been on a date with Vince and had an abusive panda ex-boyfriend. Then, to top it off, [[spoiler:after three seasons of hints and intense HoYay, series heroes Howard and Vince were both revealed to be bisexual. They admitted that they were in love with eachother in one episode, but various events, poor communication and accidental heartbreak result in them deciding to remain friends. They end the episode both on dates with girls, but the girls are gone by the next episode without mention.]]

**Also worth noting(maybe due to the fact you have to be pretty shameless and secure in yourself to to openly be a part of something like the MLP fandom as a adult) It's one of the few fandoms where slash isn't heavily frowned on and a few of the fandom OTPs are slash pairings.

* LarryNiven's ''KnownSpace''. According to one interpretation, which is in line with the way the Puppeteers themselves generally explain it to non-Puppeteers, Pierson's Puppeteers can be regarded as an entire race of bisexuals. Males are sapient and produce gametes, while females are non-sapient and provide gestation space. There are males who produce sperm and males who produce eggs, while females contribute no gametes but carry and bear the offspring. The female dies after childbirth, and the gay couple raises the kids, no sex except reproduction though. Would be EveryoneIsGay if the couple didn't have sex with a female at one point. An alternate interpretation, one that a human character stumbles upon and considers more accurate, is that the non-sapient "females" are in fact a different species that the Puppeteers are parasitic upon - similar to the Ichneumon wasps that lay their eggs in live insects so that the wasp larvae can eat the host alive. The "sperm-producing-male" is the Puppeteer male, while the "egg-producing male" is the Puppeteer female.

*''[[TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming Changeling: the Dreaming]]'' - while the Kithain may not ''all'' be bisexual, their society is ''very'' tolerant of the idea. This is mainly due to the fact that fae souls keep reincarnating throughout history, most changelings have changed genders between incarnations at least once, and true love that defies the tides of time is pretty much a proven fact in their society.

* The slight majority of the shipping fanfictions about MyLittlePony: FriendshipIsMagic are generally female on female pairings. However, the use of humans, OCs, crossovers, as well as rule 63 have created plenty of heterosexual ships. Females becoming paired up with characters such as Soarin, Dr. Whooves, Big Macintosh and Spike have become more popular as well. As a result, the shipping fandom of FiM can be equated as this.

* In Fiona Patton's ''Tales of the Branion Realm,'' pretty much everyone is bi, and this goes completely unremarked. There is even a Guild of Companions (a cross between bodyguard, courtesan, same-sex sexual partner, and spy) who are contracted to the nobility. The first book revolves around the Crown Prince's relationship with his mother -- she wants him to get married and have an heir, he would prefer to shack up with his Companion. He starts a civil war over this. His mother, BTW, has four Companions of her own.

The Darkover series was actually pretty daring for its time in depicting a society with widespread bisexuality. In the 60\'s and 70\'s, when many of the stories were written, this was quite a novelty.

Added DiffLines:

* In MarionZimmerBradley's ''{{Darkover}}'' series bisexuality is very much a social norm on the titular planet. In fact, in many cases it is actively encouraged, especially among adolescents who are too young to marry and same-sex relationships serve to help prevent teenage pregnancies. Also, as expectation of monogamy is rather lower on Darkover due to it having originally been a LostColony with a small initial population, even adults who are married may have ongoing extramarital relationships with people of the same or opposite sex. Because of the age of these works, this was sharply contrasted with the Terran Empire, which reflected more mainstream American social values of the time and thus, despite the setting being in the distant future, had mid-20th Century sexual values. Terrans frequently found Darkovan sexuality more than a little discomforting.

* Some people (notably, DanSavage) have suggested that female sexuality is naturally more fluid and less amenable to clear labels than male sexuality. In other words, Every Woman is Bi.
** This is complicated by different social norms and relationships among men and women, with different stigmas and things like "GirlOnGirlIsHot" getting in the way, and has been arguably disproven by recent studies. Not to mention that Dan Savage is neither a scientist nor bisexual, so he's commenting on a phenomenon that he's not anywhere close to being an expert on, and mostly from a very mean-spirited perspective.

Nonsense. One\'s half-baked speculation should not be passed off as \"real life\" fact.


* Given that in the common perception of western society there are still NoBisexuals, there's a good chance that a great number of creators who include bisexual characters in their works are bisexual themselves or at least have spend some thought on the issue. Once one is used to the idea that everyone might be bisexual and just haven't met people that are their type, there is nothing to stop one from declaring any character bisexual when it would fit the story. Which might explain the frequent ocurrance of the trope to some extend.
