How do I know that I'm really bisexual?

I believe that you know if you're really bisexual or not when you admit to yourself that you are attracted to both males and females. Maybe not equally, but attraction for both is there. Also, I believe that you're bisexual when you don't object to the idea of being with either gender. For example, if when you think about yourself being with the same sex, you don't feel like something's missing or it's not quite right.

A lot of people like to compartmentalize things. You're race, gender, sexuality, even your job etc. All clean cut, in a category. White male etc. Gay or straight. But really what dictates your sexuality is what you feel inside, you can't be put in a category, no-one truly can. Everyone is different, sexuality is a spectrum. No-one has the answer of whether you are bisexual except you, and it all comes back to you letting yourself be who you are, not letting external pressures make you want to fit in to a category. Listen to yourself and then you will have your answer. (probably poorly written my apologies) M

Just take your time and explore yourself. Sometimes it must be confusing as you don't know if you like only opposite gender, only same gender or both, but just try to look back to your life - have you ever had opposite (or same sex) crushes? Have you seen opposite (or same) sex attractive in sexual or romantic way? Sometimes you don't even need to be bisexual, sometimes you can be something as heteromantic homosexual. As long as you are comfortable with yourself it's all ok :)

As a fellow bisexual person, it will come to you. Noticing little things about your preferences can help guide you on the right way, but don't ever feel like you need to conform to a sexuality label or live up to certain standards just to fit a certain label. In the end just be happy being yourself and enjoy whatever preferences you may have. :)

It can be hard to know whether you are bisexual or just bicurious. The way I knew for sure was that I started questioning if I really found both sexes attractive. I knew i was bisexual because I would get crushes on both genders. At first I thought I just hung around guys too much and it was rubbing off on me, but i soon realized that what I felt for girls was the same as boys. the girl who I though I just got really well with turned out to be my crush. I still like her and I think of kissing her now and then. You can always know that you're bisexual because you wouldn't mind kissing both genders and going out with both .

There may be some confusion due to the separation of romantic orientation and sexual orientation, but if you are attracted to two or more genders, you're probably bisexual!

Trying to determine your sexuality is one of life's challenges. If your gut is telling you that you are bisexual, then you probably are! The only way to find out is to experiment with both genders and see how you feel.

Take you time, make sure that you explore yourself. It can be confusing if you don't know who you are or what gender you prefer or how you prefer to like each gender. Try looking back on your life and seeing if you have ever liked the opposite gender sex or the same gender sex. If so, have you seen them in a romantic or sexual way? As long as you are comfortable with who you are, then everything is okay and everything will be okay.

I think when it comes to figuring out any identity, you just have to think about what you like. I personally couldn't figure out if I was bi or not, since I've only been with the opposite gender, but then I started thinking "I may not have been with the same gender, but I know I'm attracted to them". I also think that individuals should feel like they need to have a label. Labels are nice to help you feel like you belong to a certain group, but I don't think that individuals have to have them to explain themselves to everyone.

Whatever you identify with right now is valid. You don't need to prove, to yourself or anyone else, that your sexuality is valid. If you think that bisexual is the right label for you right now, then you're bi. When I first came out to myself, I spend around a month trying to prove to myself that the label that I chose actually fit. It's been a year since then, and a year's worth of experience has shown me that I am, in fact like I thought, not straight. So just go with your instinct and trust yourself.
