Etymology

The term 'bisexual' is derived from the prefix 'bi-', meaning 'two', and 'sexual', relating to sex or sexuality. The concept of bisexuality has existed for centuries, evident in various cultures and historical texts that reference same-gender and different-gender attractions. The modern usage of the word began to gain traction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as discussions around sexual orientation and identity evolved. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Kinsey Reports highlighted the complexity of sexual attractions, further popularizing the term. The broader acceptance of bisexuality within LGBTQ+ communities has led to increased visibility and discourse surrounding bisexual identities in contemporary society.
