How do you know if your bisexual?

Identity formation is a difficult time in development (a lot of it happens when we're young, but it still takes place over the course of our while life!) Sexuality is an important part of identity, and I understand how it can be difficult to ask questions that can only be answered by yourself. But consider: who am I attracted to (romantically, sexually, or both)? Take notice of who the people you find yourself attracted to (anyone from people you see in passing to celebrities). If you feel comfortable, experiment; try going on a few dates with people of all genders and assess with whom you found most enjoyable.

It’s not something you’ll know right away. Being bisexual is being attracted to males and females. You should judge your sexuality by how you feel. Just be sure not to label yourself too quickly, but if you do, it’s still okay. What we identify as can change a lot through the course of our lifetime. If you have feelings for men, but also experience similar feelings for women, you might start to think you’re bi. This isn’t always the case, because after having some experience with one gender, you might decide that you aren’t into it. Basically, give yourself time. Experiment, and see what you prefer. Whatever you are, it’s completely fine to be that way, and don’t let people judge you because of it.

Coming from a bisexuaI, I learned after I saw a social media post, and realized that I was attracted to the person, and not just in a “wow I wish I was like her” way, but a crush. I thought that was really weird, because I thought I was straight, but then I thought about it, and I realized that was not the first time I was attracted to the same sex. I remember seeing a girl, and saying, “If I was gay I would kiss her” and I got really nervous around her. That should’ve been the first sign, but I don’t realize it until later. To answer your question, no matter what gender you thought you were mainly attracted to, if you find yourself attracted other genders too, even if it’s not very often, you fall somewhere on the bisexual spectrum.

Sexuality is the kind of thing that you will figure out more and more over time. Exploring your sexuality can be fun and can help you find what you’re preferences are, so if you’re comfortable with it and are safe to do so, date around and try what it feels like to be in relationships with different genders. It might take time and several relationships to figure it out, but eventually you’ll get a feel for which genders you have a preference towards. Remember, labels aren’t that important. They can sometimes help you feel more secure in you’re identity, but if you’re struggling to find one that fits, keep in mind that you don’t need to find it right away. Also remember that being bisexual doesn’t necessarily mean you feel the same way about different genders. A lot of bisexual people prefer more than one gender, but their attraction to each feels different. It’s also okay to like different genders, but lean towards a greater preference for one over another. Good luck, don’t try to rush it! Discovering yourself takes time.

i had a really long difficult time trying to figure out my sexuality. it can be hard to sort out when you've been under pressure to be straight your whole life. it was hard for me too because past the age of 11 i never was really close to anyone besides my sister. so i couldn't get to know someone enough to develop deep crushes on them. i also doubted myself very much. but i eventually figured it out. it helped to watch videos or read about how other people discovered their sexual orientation. it also helped to think about who i could see myself actually dating or being intimate with. romantic attraction can be tougher to figure out than sexual attraction. Have you ever felt a spark with someone, like you just want to be around them all the time? or seen a person of the same gender and felt a really emotional pull to them? these questions might help. if you're very confused about it, there's a pretty good chance that you aren't straight. i don't think straight people question very much, since their identity is the default. the most important thing is that you don't have to have it all figured out this instant. you don't owe anybody a label unless you want one.

If you do not know whether or not you are bisexual then maybe you're not had the experience . The first question is why would you want to know this because if you want to know something then ask yourself do I like men or b do I like women and if you answered yes to the both of those questions I want to sleep then I believe that you could be bisexual. However this is coming from a person who has never had anyting but a heterosexual relationship so I'm just giving an opinion to the question you asked and hopefully this help.

It is something that you will have to determine on your own, and it may take time and soul searching to figure that out. For me, it took some exploration before I knew for sure, but these are things that I've noticed now in hindsight: 1. I felt my heart beat really fast when other girls looked at me and smiled in a public place, in the same way that I felt fluttery when a cute boy did the same. 2. In my private time, I found myself enjoying images and videos of both boys and girls. 3. I would sometimes get jealous when my female friends would start dating someone, even though we still spent lots of time together, and especially when they talked about romantic things they were doing together. 4. In truth or dare games at sleepovers, I enjoyed kissing my female friends more than a straight person would. 5. In video games that had romance options, I found myself really enjoying the female romanceable characters, and would often play privately in my room so no one caught me doing it Only you will be able to determine this for yourself, but if this sounds like you, you might be bisexual.

Ultimately, you are the only person who can know that. It takes time to understand your sexuality, and you shouldn't rush it - I wasn't fully comfortable with identifying as bisexual for years. Introspection about your feelings in the past and thinking about how you'd feel with partners of different genders may help you. Surround yourself with accepting people, if you can, and don't come out unless you want to. It is okay to go through a couple of labels until you find one that fits, or to use no label at all. Lastly, finding a community can be very rewarding and make the acceptance process easier. Best of luck on your self-discovery journey!

I am bisexual, it was something that took time to fully realize. I knew that I was bisexual when I took time to understand that being straight wasn’t the only thing there there was to be. I knew the moment when I started look at both guys and girls in the same eyes, so it’s really how you want to look at it. The moment you realize that being anything like bi, gay, trans, pan, or any other orientation there is in this world, is something you have to decide is what you are, no one else can tell you who you can love. Love is love, don’t hide away from it.

Well, unfortunately, there is no test you can take to confirm whether or not you are bisexual. If you are bisexual, then you are someone who is attracted to more than one gender. It may take you some time to properly identify your sexual orientation, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! There is no wrong sexual orientation. Bisexual or not, you are amazing. Talking to someone you trust, someone who is going through the same thing as you, or has gone through it in the past, can help you to figure out how you identify. This is about you, nobody else (:
