Bihet (bi-hetero) or bistraight (bi straight) is a term describing an individual who is both bi and straight (hetero). This can include:

Bi individuals who reclaim the term;
Those who experience hetero attraction while attracted to more than one gender;
Those who are attracted to multiple genders that are different from their own, such as penultisexual or differosexual;
Varioriented and variangled individuals, such as biromantic heterosexuals, heteroromantic bisexuals, heteroplatonic bisensuals, biaesthetic heterosensuals, and other tertiary/eriattractions;
Someone with a hetero-leaning bisexuality, such as heteroflexible;
Bicurious or homocurious straights;
Bi darcians (romeric bihets), bi bennetians (julietian bihets), and bi jaustenians (juleric bihets);
Anyone else who feel comfortable using the term.

History

It was initially used as a derogatory slang among radfems directed at bisexual women in duaric relationships, who experience predominant heterosexual attraction, or prefer duaric relationships, implying they are less queer/LGBT+. The term is reclaimed by some, and also used as a specific descriptor of certain experiences of orientation and sexuality. However, the term should only be used if the person consents being identified as such.
