Do you have the data for this? My experiences have been precisely the opposite. I have spoke to many bisexual men married to women on Grindr who were looking to cheat on their wives (or fantasised about doing it).

My experiences point to a lot of bisexual men living in the closet and are ashamed of what they are. I think guys in that situation typically want the heterosexual lifestyle of kids and marriage, but the thrill of sex with a guy on the side. There have been very, very few guys I've seen on there who are married to a woman who are able to openly explore sex with men with their wife's consent.

I can't really comment on women who are bisexual however.

Were those men genuinely bisexual, I wonder? Gay men pretending to be straight and ending up in family marriages is a very long standing issue, or was at least, I thought the "lavender marriage" was dying out.

"The massive 2013 Pew Research LGBT Survey found 84 percent of self-identified bisexuals in committed relationships have a partner of the opposite sex, while only 9 percent are in same-sex relationships"
