Relationship Expectations of Bisexual Women

The primary objective of this study is to understand bisexual women’s expectations of their romantic relationships and how these expectations differ depending on the sex of their partner. We could find no published study that has explored bisexual women’s expectations of their relationships and how those expectations might differ depending on their partner’s sex. The lived experiences of bisexual women have much to contribute to broader understandings about sex, gender, and intimate relationships. The findings from this qualitative study may provide new insights into theoretically important constructs about gender roles and relationships while also expanding our knowledge about the lived experiences of an understudied population.
