If you believe the the Kinsey scale it shouldn't be to hard to understand, I think most people are bi to some degree. Emphasis on most there, there's always gonna be an exception.

I thought I was bisexual for a while, and I probably am at some point in my annoyingly complex self, but I don't really feel conciously attracted to girls. It's probably too weird to put into words, but whatever.

As far as others go, bisexuals are just people who are attracted to both sexes... more fuckery with genes and whatever it is that changes sexuality. I'd actually like to research that ^^

We are hardly genetically programmed into the three categories of heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual. Our attractions are a combination of genetic pre-programming and our reactions to our surroundings and situations. To put it simply, we are all bisexual. Some are more inclined to one sex or another, and some are interested in both.

According to Statistics Canada, 10% of Canadians are homosexual or bisexual. However, I would think that some of that 90% are lying to themselves, and some were simply to preoccupied with the opposite sex to notice a their own. I'm sure that given the right conditions, likely involving depression, those in the heterosexual category would take some interest in their own sex.
All WOMEN are bisexual.

I swear to Odin males are not. ANd you cannot convince me otherwise.

Bi-sexual to my mind means to not have any fixed sexuality.

Though, if you then think about that a bit, it's a bit odd when you consider that 'Bi-sexual' is now considered a separate sexuality on its own in it's own right.

Hmmm.

Oh and no, I'm not.
My sexuality is fixed. It's just located in an area that allows me to enjoy men and women.
Surely if we're bound to be fixed by the idea of sexuality (as apparently we all are), which is defined, usually, by whether you are attracted to your own or the opposite gender, surely desiring both at the same time (potentially) falls outside of that, essentially breaking the mould (surely a good thing?).

I can't help but be curious about What actual parts of the brain/ neurochemicals dictate how sexual attraction works. Research has shown that the horomone flooding which happens during fetus development can effect what a child's preference becomes later on.
I've gotten more curious about the how part as well, and largely because of how many claim to be so on the Escapist wonder how much of it is environmental. I know it tends to be a younger crowd on the Escapist from what I'm used to, by a good 10 years or so, and when I look back at my time through high school/college there's just nothing to relate to here. Two things seem to have happened inbetween though (from my high school days at least), quick and easy access to any sort of porn you could want, and the rise of the emo-subculture where it became cool for guys to be bi. If you could post this question online only 10 years ago the answers would be very different, so there's gotta be something to it.

Well I have a strong preference for women, but decided i was bisexual a few years ago, (i'm a teenager, btw) and by now I'm sure, I'm sexually attracted to men as well as women. but i think deep inside a good percentage of people *could* be bisexual if they opened their mind a bit. hell, we're all just people
EDIT: in response to the 'bisexuals are sex-crazed' thing, I'm quite a sexual person inside but aren't we all? I'm quite introverted until you get to know me

How's it greed? I'm no sex-crazed freak, i just happen to be attracted to both sexes,

I'm with you on these points...

I don't officially consider myself bisexual, having been strongly heterosexual and attracted to women for the majority of my life. However my mind has opened of late and I'm starting to find myself attracted to some men, including the various naughty thoughts that go with that! :3

I'm unsure if I would want to have sex with a man, but then I'm not sexually active with women either so it's hardly a fair assessment! I don't really see much difference in being attracted to either sex, which is odd because I'd thought I would be more apprehensive about finding men alluring. I just see... an attractive person. Women... I'd take any kind, but men, my men would have to be pretty. Yeah, I'd be a real shallow gay!

As for people calling bisexuals greedy... that just doesn't make any sense. I mean consider male and female people as two different foods (forgive the metaphor.) Heteros can only eat one food, but the bisexuals can have both. Why would you be jealous of the bisexual just because they like something you don't? Chances are they'll have the same amount as you, just with more variety. They're just jealous that they're minds aren't quite so open, that's all!

I mostly look at things like a smile, the eyes, ass and personality. Someone who's funny and capable of having hour-long conversations are very attracting to me.

The gender don't really play into the attraction. If you're hetero, you don't think "oh man it's a female. Wow that's so hot". Well...maybe if you're desperate.

Hope it made sense to you guys :)

Bi sexuality like homosexuality, heterosexuality trans sextuality pan sexuality

You know.. it are labels that try to make sense of things. Because we like labels

BUT labels are limited really is a guy who likes girls but once in a while that certain special guy.. is he heterosexual or bi sexual. But the meaning of labels he is bi, and that is good! But lets be fair mostly he is going for the girls.. so really is bi sexual the best label.

And really that is the story there is so much more to sexuality then these labels. In the basis yes the help make things understandable but also kinda don't work.

It is just a definition really...

Not a choice obviously not but the words we use are our CHOICE of words we use.

Not really..

Heteros find the characteristics of the opposite sex attractive, which is a direct result of sex.

I find boobs attractive. I love fat booties. A feminine face really gets me going, along with that slender neck and that sultry voice.

Flat chest, wide shoulders and vein riddled balls do not inspire the same feelings.

What goes around in their mind? are you bisexual? what is the thought process when you get attracted to someone?
for instance a hetero , would think of a boy as sweet..
do u think a vulnerable person could be manipulated at a sensitive stage into believing he/she is gay?
I am bi, and it's the same shit as being attracted to a woman, what did you expect anyway?

I really don't understand why people think it's different because it's to the same sex... Jesus, will these threads stop soon?

Labels are not meaningless, arbitrary, or limited. The only thing limiting such things would be a small functional vocabulary, or a lack of understanding.

And the scenario you speak of would be labeled 'Hetero with an Exception.'

This guy hit it right on the head. It's a sexual attraction to both sexes, determined at birth just like every other sexual preference.
This has never been proven. I have a friend who was not gay, but after years of being made fun of for his lisp, he was societally pressured into becoming his image. Also, I was bi but I don't even think about men that way anymore.

I've always seen this as a matter of biology. Sex, gender, and sexuality are separate and unique components. Sex is your chromosome composition, mostly XX (female) and XY (male). However, it's possible to be XXX, XXY, XYY, XXXX, XYXY,or X due to non-disjunction mutations during meiosis. Next, gender is usually defined by genitals and secondary sexual characteristics like breasts. Again, this isn't always as simple as "boy" or "girl", as certain mutations can case an individual who is XY to develop as a female (technically our "default" gender developmentally). Finally, sexuality has a heavy basis in pheromones. Although we're not as sensitive to them as other animals, pheromones still have a huge impact on sexual arousal. There have even been experiments where heterosexual males have shown an arousal response to male pheromones.

TLDR: It's mostly biological.
