Talk:bisexual

Hermaphrodite

[1] describes bisexual flowers.

However "bisexual" to mean "hermaphrodite" in general I have run across as well, usually in writings about Jewish midrashim, etc. (see [2] [3] [4]...) so I added that def as well, marked as rare since it doesn't feel common. —Muke Tever 18:35, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I added the declension for the adjective, eg more bisexual, most bisexual. It stated that bisexual was indeclinalbe (no comparative or superlative), however please see the talk page for homosexual. Beobach972 16:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't the definition "Being attracted by both sexes" as in the descriptions of humans be considered the most common by now? At the very least one would think be included. Preferably before the rather specific psychology term.

Additional definitions

Shouldn't we add, like explained in the Wikipedia article on pansexuality, that "bisexual" can have a much wider definition too? — This unsigned comment was added by 63.139.207.2 (talk) at 17:47, 14 May 2017.

Yes, definitely.
