Ono described her late husband and her acceptance of bisexuality, saying, “John and I had a big talk about it, saying, basically, all of us must be bisexual. And we were sort of in a situation of thinking that we’re not [bisexual] because of society. So we are hiding the other side of ourselves, which is less acceptable. But I don’t have a strong sexual desire towards another woman.”

The Imagine star could not find a man attractive and intelligent enough to sleep with, the 82-year-old said. “I think he had a desire to [sleep with men], but I think he was too inhibited,” she remarked. Clarifying her words she added, “No, not inhibited. He said, ‘I don’t mind if there’s an incredibly attractive guy.’ It’s very difficult: they would have to be not just physically attractive, but mentally very advanced too. And you can’t find people like that.”
