What is a bicurious girl?
A girl who identifies as straight but can be attracted to one certain woman or a certain type of woman and wants to experiment with her sexuality.
What threat does bicuriousity have towards a binary vision of sexuality?
There is a hate towards things that are misunderstood. That is why people in the queer community are put aside a lot of times and the target of a lot of hate. The Queer Community has a lot of issues to work through within our own community. There is still a lot of ignorance and hate towards things that are misunderstood. Bisexuality is one of the things that people cannot put a box around. Bisexuality is seen as a fantasy in the straight world, something that's unreal. There are many negative connotations with bisexuality such as promiscuousness or a need to get attention from men etc. Sexuality is seen a lot of times are something very binary. You like men or you like women and there are no grey areas. But the problem with this is that it's untrue.
Sexuality is a grey area. Attraction towards people varies due to environmental factors, what point you are in your life, who you surround yourself with, your values, your mental stability etc. There are many different situations that can lead you towards or away from certain people. It's not uncommon for women to want to experiment with other women. In today's media, lesbianism is being more accepted and glamorized. It's the latest trend. Sometimes women experiment for attention from men but often times women are genuinely exploring their attractions towards other women. Sometimes this attraction is purely physical and sometimes this attraction grows into something more emotion. Women are raised to be more emotion. So it would make sense that two women being sexual together could lead to emotional attachments. To experiment with someone who is bicurious could potentially hurt someone's pride. It all boils down to insecurities. If you are insecure no matter who you are with you will be insecure. It has nothing to do with the other person. Bicurious women are exploring their sexuality and could possibly in the future change their identities as their journey progresses.
