Women say bisexual men are better fathers and lovers than straight men in new study

Women have claimed that bisexual men are better loves and fathers than straight men in a new study.

According to the Daily Mail, the Deakin School of Health and Social Development interviewed 78 Australian women who had been in relationship with bisexual men.

The study was conducted by senior lecturer Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli to gain an insight into the families, intimacies and dynamics between these couples as well as break down the stigma surrounding them.

The 78 women that were interviewed were aged between 19 and 65 and had been in either a monogamous, open or polyamorous relationship with bisexual men.

Speaking to the Geelong Advertiser, Pallotta-Chiarolli said:

“These mixed-orientation relationships or what I call MOREs, sit outside the boundaries of what many may consider a ‘normal’ relationship, whether it’s straight or gay.”

Pallotta reveals she wants to break down stereotypes surrounding bisexual men.

“Through this research it is my hope that we can stop representing only the stereotypical story about MOREs: that all bisexual men are untrustworthy and have secret affairs; that all bisexual men transmit HIV and STI to women; that all bisexual men are abusive to their women partners.”

She also adds that we shouldn’t “shy away” from discussing these issues and that we need to “lift the stigma” for the women who choose to be in relationships with bisexual men.
