I'd have to say the most baffling question I get about my sexual orientation is "how do bisexuals handle monogamy?"
Like, what the fuck, how do unisexuals handle monogamy? You're still attracted to other people.
Mom says "But it's different. Having needs your partner can never fulfill." (Apparently one of her ten bajillion college roommates was bisexual, and her long-term boyfriend agreed that she could sleep with other women but not other men, which seems fair if you're into that kind of bargain.)
Then we decided that wasn't so different after all.
Mostly, though, I understand what people mean when they ask. I just don't feel like answering.
