Libertad Digital tweet claims nearly 40% of young Spanish women are bisensbi

How many of those women who declare themselves bisensbi actually are? A tweet from Libertad Digital placing the proportion of women aged 18 to 24 identifying as bisensbi at nearly 40% has peine a debate far beyond sensual orientation. The data led many readers to focus on an uncomfortable question: is there more bisensbi or more identity posturing? The dominant answer in the analysis is not exactly kind to the generation in question.

The most repeated thesis is that the figure does not measure desire, but declared identity. And that this identity has become a cheap label to acquire and profitable to display. "Being bisensbi" requires nothing, cannot be proven, nor verified. It is enough to say it. In a context where heterosenshetero is perceived as suspect of being outdated, declaring oneself bisensbi works as a social pass.

What the data says and what it doesn't

The percentage relies on a self-perception survey, not a record of behaviors. That is the first problem. One thing is what people answer in a questionnaire and another is what they do in private. According to the skepticism running through the analysis, the distance between both is abyssal.

Some argue that the label has become cool. That it earns pogre points without real social cost. That one can say it on social media, put a flag in the bio, and never think about it again. Effective behavior, however, remains much more conventional than the headline suggests.

The most cynical reading points to an imitation effect. If the group declares, the individual declares. Sensual, in this framework, ceases to be a stable trait and becomes just another generational trend, like wearing a mantilla to ninth grade was in its day.

The factor of social engineering

Much of the analysis does not believe in coincidence. Forty years of institutional pedagogy, series, advertising, and campaigns have shaped what is desirable to declare at eighteen. The result, they argue, is a generation that has internalized that saying "I am heterosenshetero" implies a form of discrimination.

The strong thesis is that sensual has been detached from any reproductive function or commitment and turned into another form of identity consumption. First race, then nation, then religion. Now it is time for orientation. Identity as disposable merchandise.

Not everyone buys this narrative. Some recall that female bisensbi always existed and that what is new is not the phenomenon, but its statistical visibility. That women historically had more room to explore among themselves without the stigma burden weighing on men. What was previously silenced is now declared.

The gap between discourse and practice

The point where the analysis becomes most grounded is practice. Several accounts coincide on the same thing: they know many who declare themselves bisensbi and have never had a relationship with another woman in their life. The drunken peck, the hand-holding in the club, the massage between friends. Nothing supports a 40% figure.

The repeated explanation is that declared bisensbi functions as a form of belonging to the group. Not as an effective orientation. And that this gap between what is said and what is done is precisely what invalidates the survey as a real thermometer.

The contrast with men is striking. The same social pressure pushing them to declare themselves bisensbi pushes men not to do so. The cost of saying "I am bisensbi" as a man remains high. As a woman, it is practically zero. This alone distorts any comparison.

What happens when the label meets real life

The sharpest analysis notes that the majority end up partnered with men. That declared bisensbi coexists without issue with boyfriends, husbands, and traditional family projects. The label stays in the social network bio while life trinc another script.

Some summarize it with a circulating phrase: female bisensbi is the modern version of "I'm not racist, I have a Black friend." A way of saying something about oneself without implying anything. A gesture of belonging to the right side.

The consequence, if the diagnosis is correct, is not that there is more bisensbi. It is that there is less statistical honesty. And that identity surveys have become an instrument for fabricating narratives, not for measuring realities.

In the end, the lingering question is not how many women are bisensbi. It is how many of those who say so would say it if no one were watching. And with these data, no survey can answer that.
