BREAKING: Why 2025 Is The Year for Authentic Bisexual MM Romance
Bisexual men represent nearly 50% of the LGBTQ+ community, yet remain the most underrepresented demographic in MM romance fiction. This stops now.
Modern readers demand complex, authentic bisexual male protagonists who transcend the tired "gay-for-you" trope. Publishers are catching on: MM romance featuring genuine bisexual representation is outselling traditional gay romance by 23% in 2025.
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: Writers still using outdated bisexual stereotypes risk losing readership to competitors creating nuanced, authentic characters.
ESSENTIAL TROPES TO ELIMINATE IMMEDIATELY
The "Confused Phase" Narrative
STOP: Writing bisexual men as temporarily confused before "choosing" to be gay. Bisexuality isn't a pit stop to homosexuality.
START: Creating bisexual men comfortable with their attraction to multiple genders throughout the entire narrative.
The "Cheating Bisexual" Stereotype
ELIMINATE: Portraying bisexual men as inherently unfaithful or unable to commit to monogamous relationships.
IMPLEMENT: Bisexual characters with clear relationship values, whether monogamous or ethically non-monogamous.
The "Sexually Insatiable" Cliché
AVOID: Writing bisexual men as hypersexual or requiring partners of multiple genders simultaneously.
ADOPT: Bisexual characters with normal, varied sexual drives and relationship needs.
PRACTICAL WRITING STRATEGIES FOR 2025
