* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' does this occasionally. Joey Wheeler (who was straight in the original), shows attraction to other guys (Kaiba, especially), but he and Mai Valentine are clearly each others' love interests, fulfilling the tone/emotion aspect. The show also averts most UnfortunateImplications since EveryoneIsBi and HoYay is par the course. As an [[TheAbridgedSeries abridged series]] Creator/LittleKuriboh is ([[ArtShift mostly]]) restricted to the original footage, so there's little potential payoff anyhow. Not to mention that the creator himself is bi.

* ''Series/Peacemaker2022'': Peacemaker is bisexual, which he's berated for by his homophobic AbusiveDad. On screen however, he only sleeps with and expresses interest in women, aside from a possible PrisonRape joke and a threesome with a woman and [[LoonyFan Vigilante]] that was PlayedForLaughs.

* ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'': Klaus is said to be pansexual by actor Creator/RobertSheehan, but throughout the first season the only sex partners he mentions are men, and he fell in love with a man after accidentally time-travelling to the Vietnam War. In the second season when the whole family gets stuck in the early '60s, Klaus founds a cult (long story) and it's implied that he regularly had sex with his followers, including the women. However, he spends most of his onscreen time trying to reach out to the younger version of his Army boyfriend to talk him out of joining the army in the first place since he died in the war.

'''Before adding examples,''' it is not this trope if a character has onscreen relations with multiple genders, but seems to be more attracted to one than the other (or they outright say they are). It's not uncommon for a bisexual to have a gender preference and only be with the other one under the right circumstances, which can range from casual sex to IfItsYouItsOkay. Bisexuals in fiction and real life are not obligated to maintain a perfect gender balance in their dating and sex lives.

* ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'': Caspian [[https://twitter.com/ThunderBrush/status/1585720700563730432 is pansexual]] according to WordOfGay, but his art only shows him interacting with women, which is supposedly the fault of the people the art was outsourced to.

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is pansexual by WordOfGay (and in more recent years, actually seen flirting with men in the comics) but has only been seen actually sleeping with women. In addition, his relationships with women are treated as "real" while any interest in men is only ever PlayedForLaughs. This can lead to frustration when people say Deadpool's comics are "about" bisexuality when his implied bisexuality is little more than a RunningGag.

* Some of the HomoeroticSubtext regarding Cloud's feelings towards Sephiroth in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' was cut to tone it down (like a line where he ruminates on how, as a teenager, he thought about Sephiroth so much that his mother 'gave up on him' -- putting a later flashback where his mother pleads with him to get a 'nice girlfriend' in a different light entirely). He does get a gay DidTheyOrDidntThey with a male prostitute, but it's played completely for laughs and he doesn't seem particularly into it (compare to the romantic and sincere DidTheyOrDidntThey scene he gets with Tifa). He flirts with Barret and can even go on a date with him if the player has him do it enough while offending the girls, but it's usually GayBravado and, on the date, Barret mostly acts confused that Cloud isn't more interested in the girls than in him.

* ''Series/{{Constantine}}'': John Constantine. Despite being bi by WordOfGod, he's just seen vaguely flirting with Papa Midnite and is only ever shown hooking up with women. Averted once [[{{Transplant}} transplanted]] in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' where he kisses male agent Gary and a tragic relationship with a man is a critical plot point.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Hunter and Willow are bi and pan respectively, per WordofGay, but the only attraction either of them shows on-screen is towards each other.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} with [[spoiler:Hunter]] and [[spoiler:Willow]], who are respectively bi and pan. Both of them only ever shown attraction to each other, so the lack of same sex interest can probably just be chalked up to a case of SingleTargetSexuality.

* ''Literature/TheQueenOfIeflaria'': Esofi reflects that, [[EveryoneIsBi like most people]], she's bisexual. In the book she only shows attraction to Adale, another woman, however.
