Adam and Eve were the first humans in The Garden of Eden. What if it had started off with two men or two women or a group of both men and women? Well, then in that case bisexuality would probably have been normal. However, Geeta Kumana who heads Aanchal Trust, a support group for bisexual and lesbian women, feels that bisexuality is latent in every woman and that a woman cannot be sure that she is attracted to women till she has been with one.

If the Mars-Venus clash creates nerve tingling chemistry, then does the dynamics of a woman-woman relationship match up to that of a man-woman relationship? For A Singh, 54, being attracted to a man carries a different set of tensions and conflicts. Being attracted to a woman doesn't carry these tensions. A relationship with a woman contains a larger component of friendship and trust and comfort. Mridula adds that physically, these relationships are more satisfying than those with men. "I am more comfortable in expressing myself to women." With men there is a lot of flux in the relationship. But creating comfort in a woman-woman relationship is relatively simple. That is perhaps due to the overlap of demands and expectations. This does not mean that these women are not happy with men, but they are happier with women.

Mridula derives greater satisfaction from women in bed than with men. So it is for many other bisexual women. A probable explanation to this is dual. Firstly a woman knows best what another woman would like and is more likely to make her comfortable in bed too. While some women accept their sexuality, for others this transformation creates a lot of mental turmoil. Tanushree R spent nights crying as she was trying to come to terms with her sexual preference. "I was in the face of an identity crisis and finally decided to meet counsellors." Tanushree gradually accepted that she was bisexual. Tanushree says that she is open to getting married to a man or spending her life with a woman because marriage is about companionship.
