    Yeah, you also have to think of it in terms of preference vs orientation.

    You may be technically bisexual if you would scissor the bejesus out of Angelina Jolie and equally attractive women, but for all intents and purposes you are hetero since you prefer men.

    To me it's not necessarily about attraction (I believe heterosexuals/homosexuals can find the same/opposite sex attractive and even have sex with that person and not be bi or gay.) To me it's about the feelings (and even then people can have mixed feelings). I have feelings for men and I have had feelings for women. I can guarantee if a gal I know and I lived closer, we would be in a relationship, but neither of us would expect the other to swear off men either.

    I guess in summation, a person's sexual orientation is what they believe themselves to be, not necessarily what society/others dictate what they are.

    if you find yourself attracted to a gender you did not previously think you were attracted to, and are still attracted to the other gender then, yes, you might be bisexual. you seem to be concerned with the fact that you may be bisexual as apposed to really the question of how to figure out whether or not you are, and i hope you find peace with that because it really does not matter.

    sexuality really isn't a this-or-that kind of issue

    i used to think i was bi for years

    before i realized that my sexuality was something more like "gender-not-important"

    you dont need to experience it right away!

    just be open to the thing that love and attraction can not be defined by gender.

    You were bored last night. Tonight you are wondering about your sexuality.

    It is either about being promiscuous (not good) or being true to your self and your partner (good).

    Think and act. Good luck and you have my best wishes for success.

    finding it funny that everybody automatically assumed she was straight and now might also be interested in girls instead of the other way around

    If you have not ever participated in sexual relations with a member of the same sex and the opposite sex, then you are not bisexual... You may be bicurious... Meaning that you are simply exploring your sexuality. I would think that when the time comes, you really will be the only one able to answer that question for yourself... As for me, I am straight.

    I remember going through a period of time where I was absolutely terrified that I was lesbian or bi. I literally used to worry about it constantly. I am very open minded and not homophobic in the slightest, but the thought of being lesbian scared me.

    But, deep down, I don't think I am. I want to experiment, because I think it'll be one of the best ****ing sexual experiences of my life, but I don't want to be in a relationship with a girl. And, *shrug* I like lesbian porn and admiring girl's bodies, but I don't want to live with a girl and fall in love with one.

    Do you, OP. Experiment, and try to imagine yourself in a relationship with a girl. There's a difference between being sexually attracted and being actually attracted to the same sex.

    So true!! But I think when people question, it's usually because it's attraction to the opposite sex. :smile:
