		<description>Male bisexuality remains hidden though. The UK version of Big Brother started this week and there&#039;s a self-identified gay contestant called Charlie who claims to have had sex with over 100 women but still considers himself to be gay rather than bi. Why are men so scared of the bisexual label? There is no way a man would have sex with so many women if he didn&#039;t enjoy it. And if he enjoys it, he is bi, not gay!</description>

		<description>Female bisexuality does indeed enjoy a much wider public visibility than male one does. The titillation about girl-on-girl sexuality that most men have does go a long way, since that gives them ~50% popular approval. Moreover, straight girls tend to feel significantly less icky about same-sex contact (to the point of often doing it &quot;for fun&quot;) than straight men do (at least publically).

However, I believe that this public acceptance is to some extent a largely superficial one, and ultimately female bisexuality shares many of the same obstacles as male one. One of them is being taken seriously. Ironically, the very interview with Megan Fox mentioned above provides an example of it. She said: 

&quot; have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I&#039;m also a hypocrite. I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I&#039;d never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.&quot;

At least she&#039;s honest about that hypocrisy. A rather inconsistent one that doesn&#039;t make much sense, since she is currently engaged to a guy (presumably the only clean one?) and has previously declared that she is attracted to women like Olivia Wilde and Jenna Jameson, both of whom are in relationships with men. 

In any case, I think that&#039;s something many bisexual women have to suffer. If they are good looking, it&#039;s a hawt thing in theory (nevermind the uglies), but at the time of dating, both men and women are likely be reluctant.</description>

		<description>Tricky to say. Seems there have been female celebs define themselves as bi every so often. Sometimes they do get accused of just seeking PR.

Oddly I&#039;ve always had the impression that female bisexuality has always been more visible than male sadly. I could be wrong on this, it is just how I&#039;ve seen things.

As an aside, I&#039;ve oddly never understood the fascination with girl on girl sex. That is aside from the ability to look at two women at once, the fact they&#039;re doing things together didn&#039;t add much extra appeal for me.</description>
