    Every time I see something like this, the couple is looking for another woman. Where are the bisexual couples which are looking for another man? Do they not exist or do they just immediately find such a man and go off the market?

      They do, but are fewer and further between. Research studies have shown that there is a much higher proportion of bi/pan women compared to men in the US. So a triad with two bi women is gonna be much more likely to occur than one with two bi men.

      The bi guy-straight woman couples I know are largely just “he’s welcome to sleep around with other guys but she doesn’t want to”

      “unicorn hunters” are a well known trope and generally looked on with scorn within ethical non-monogamy / polyamory communities. They’re almost always a bad kind of hierarchical, and usually don’t see the new third person as an equal, whole, person.

      I’m going to guess that bisexual men looking for another man are slightly less likely to be this particular kind of dehumanizing, but I don’t have any data to back it up.

      Well, hubs and I would love another man to want to come in and just be in charge of both of us, but we’re also not looking, so…
