Monogamous Bi guy

Bi is definitely a part of my identity, but I am absolutely committed to my wife of 15 years.

Am I an outlier or is this the norm?

 

Who is to say WHAT defines "normal" these days?

You, obviously, are a man who takes commitments seriously.

Being a totally celibate gay man of 65 years, I cannot comment further, but, allow me to say you obviously have a very mature view on relationships......

 

'Normal' is just a setting on the dryer.
I'm Bisexual, in a committed heterosexual relationship.

 

I'm Bi and did have encounters with guys up until I met my wife. Since then I've not been with another guy as much as I've wanted to from time to time. We've been married 32 years. I wouldn't cheat even if the urge to meet a guy for sex remains.

 

I've been in a monogamous relationship for 30 yrs. I'm bisexual and was actively bi before marriage.

 

30 + years typo

 

The reputation of bisexual men and women (!) is no coincidence. Note the low Conscientiousness scores.

Conscientiousness Facets (NEO-PI-3)

(C1) Competence
(C2) Order
(C3) Dutifulness
(C4) Achievement Striving
(C5) Self-Discipline
(C6) Deliberation

MBTI equivalent of low Conscientiousness scores: P types. The MBTI is no longer used in research, but is still useful for identifying patterns in everyday behaviour.

For comparison, here are the five MBTI facets of the (J)udging – (P)erceiving dichotomy:

1. Systematic – Casual
2. Planful – Open-Ended
3. Early Starting – Pressure-Prompted
4. Scheduled – Spontaneous
5. Methodical – Emergent
