Bi-Sexuality

[Idsertian]

If your physically attracted to both genders, but only date one, I dont think that thats truly bisexual.

I don't agree with that however. Someone in that situation may just simply be scared to act on their desires based on cultural/social stigmas, or other underlying causes.

I should've clarified, im talking about someone whos attracted to both genders but only dates one, but not due to external influences. Thats why I put in the part about being capable of developing relationships with both genders.

Oh, well even so, I would still (personally) call that person bisexual, simply because they are attracted to both genders. They're still attracted to both, they just don't act on those attractions (for whatever reason).

But most people aren't perfectly bi-sexual. WA test was done a while ago and it was found that even though a lot of people had sexual attraction to both sexes one was always stonger towards one or the other. Very few people were truly bi.

Why bother labeling yourself, or trying to label others.

Try Asexuality.

Well, I sort of consider myself bisexual, so I'll throw in my hat. I'm attracted physically to both sexes, almost perfectly evenly.

Why I say I "sort of" consider myself bisexual is because I have little to no romantic interest in men. So, while I consider myself bisexual, I usually tell people I'm a lesbian because it takes less explaining.

Well no, there is no "true" bi. That's fucking ridiculous. It doesn't matter if your attraction is "stronger", only that it's there. That's what bi is. Attraction to both. End of story.

Yeah, there's bi and not bi. And whoopee with those "tests". On any given day a person might be more attracted to one over the other, but on any given day a straight man might be more attracted to one woman over another. Shit changes. Moods change. Today I feel like having a cheeseburger. Tomorrow I won't. So do I like cheeseburgers or not?

For me a true bi-sexual is someone who can establish and happily maintain a relationship with somebody of the same sex. As said above anyone can get off with the same sex for fun, that doesn't meant a relationship will form though.
