Rfv-sense - bisexual (noun). SemperBlotto (talk) 21:19, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The citation just added (2012, Mary Elizabeth Dallas: "We can now finally argue that a flexible sexual desire is not simply restricted to women") in my opinion does not support this sense. The sexual desire is not bisexual itself; it is merely flexible (willing to vary) in the standard sense. Equinox 07:56, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't any other sources so you can delete it if the 2006 source is found insufficient. Pass a Method (talk) 08:19, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
See also heteroflexible and the WP entry. Apparently, flexible is to be distinguished from bisexuichal. — Xavier, 21:34, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Striking as RFV failed on both "bisexual" and "bicurious" senses: only two quotations provided, where one of them speaks of "flexible sexual desire", which does not unequivocally pick the sense in question. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Synonyms need to be separated by meaning[edit]

The synonyms listed here may need to be separated by their respective meanings. I am not a native speaker so I dare not do it myself.
