Thin privilege is being seen as ‘fun’, 'exciting’ and 'adventurous’ because of your bisexuality, rather than just 'desperate’.

I have a close friend who is bisexual, the same as me, however she weighs 100 pounds and I weigh around 230. We were with a few male friends who were asking her about her sexuality. They said that they thought it was 'exciting’ that she was bisexual and that they’d love to get together with her sometime for a threesome. She agreed that it would be fun, and pointed out that I’m bisexual too and might like to join in.

Now, being demisexual, I wasn’t interested in casual sex with a group of people, but before I even had the chance to say this, they said “why would we want her to be involved, she’s not bi, just desperate!”. I was so shocked at this and wondered why they would say something like that to me but not my friend, before I realised how naive I was being.

My friend was praised and worshipped by them for her sexuality, whereas I was humiliated, simply because she’s thin and I’m not.
