That's something you have to figure out for yourself. I'm bisexual and I was really.confused for a long time. Just ask yourself: "Would I be okay spending.the rest of my life with a man/female?" or "Does the idea of having sex with either gender appeal to me or freak me out?" And it's okay to experiment! Don't think you're the only one who is going through this, message me!

If you find that you are romantically interested in both genders you are probably bisexual. Of course a common misconception is that bisexuals are equally attracted to either gender. The reality is that a bisexual person may be attracted to the opposite sex most of the time but may have an occasional interest in a particular person of the same sex or the opposite might also be true.

Sometimes it is hard to know your sexuality. I first thought I was bisexual because I felt things for girls that I also felt for men but I later realized that I am not bisexual. Exploring your sexuality is perfectly ok.

Of course! If you're attracted to people of two or more genders (and you're not pansexual) you're bisexual, no matter your preference. Look at it this way: straight girls can have preferences for guys that have slim features or long hair. Lesbians can have preferences for girls that look a bit masculine We don't consider them any less than straight or any less lesbian. Your sexuality if defined by you and you alone. Preferences are just things you like a little better.

Of course! Bisexual only means that you're attracted to both sexes, but you can have preference.

You could be. Bisexual doesn't equal "I prefer both sexes equally", it just means that your sexual preference is based on personality, feelings, and companionship rather than sexual orientation. There are many bisexual people that tend to prefer one sex over the other, but that's kind of what bisexuality is. It means you are attracted to PEOPLE not gender.

Have you ever looked at someone of the same sex and thought what it would be like to curl up in their arms? You might be bisexual.

You know when you think about a person of one and you feel like you would enjoy a romantic or sexual relationship with them. You know when you think about a person of another gender and you feel like you would enjoy a romantic or sexual relationship with them. If you prefer one gender over the other, you can still identify as bisexual. If you feel attracted to different genders in different ways, you can still identify as bisexual.

Yes! Bisexual means attraction to both sexes (male and female) and all genders. Some bisexual people prefer women over men and others prefer men over women. Other bisexuals can have an equal attraction towards men and women. People's attraction can be 20/80, 10/90, 40/60, etc. What makes someone bisexual is their attraction towards both sexes (and all genders), not their amount of attraction.
