目前的研究探讨了双性恋女性在浪漫关系中的双重性经历，特别是她们如何与伴侣的性别和性行为联系起来，以及这些经历如何影响她们追求和感知关系。采访了10名自称双性恋的女性，年龄在19至24岁之间，生活在美国东北部。深入访谈数据的定性分析显示，双性恋女性面临各种形式的双重性，包括无效和刻板印象，从直男和女同性恋。具体来说，双性恋女性面临着异性恋男性的显著和普遍的过度性化，表现为兴趣增加，要求三人行，以及询问他们的性史。这些负面的经历影响了双性恋女性如何追求和驾驭关系，例如采用筛选过程来避免消极情绪，并表达对向伴侣透露自己性身份的恐惧。因此，尽管双性恋的可见度越来越高，但同性恋和异性恋社区仍然缺乏接受和理解，直接影响到双性恋妇女的生活。
The current study examines bisexual women's experiences with binegativity in romantic relationships, particularly how they relate to the gender and sexuality of their partners, and how these experiences affect how they pursue and perceive relationships. Interviews were conducted with 10 self-identified bisexual women, age 19 to 24, living in the Northeast United States. Qualitative analysis of in-depth interview data revealed that bisexual women face varied forms of binegativity, including invalidation and stereotypes from straight men and lesbian women. Specifically, bisexual women face significant and pervasive hypersexualization from straight men in the form of increased interest, requests for threesomes, and inquiries about their sexual history. These negative experiences affect how bisexual women pursue and navigate relationships, such as employing screening processes to avoid negativity and expressing fear about revealing their sexual identity to partners. Thus, despite increasing visibility of bisexuality, there is still a lack of acceptance and understanding in the gay and lesbian, and straight communities, directly affecting the lives of bisexual women.
