Under 35 and straight. I don't know any older people who are bisexual. Probably because it's the cool thing for teenagers and young adults to be right now. No offence intended of course, but I know a few 'bisexual' people and I can see right through them.
Under 35, bisexual.
I guess stuff like bisexuality is more recognized and accepted amongst younger generations, or is more readily acknowledged by the younger generations, as they may actually have the ability (or balls) to follow their sexual urges with members of both sexes.
Those who grew up in times when anything even remotely camp earned you a beating or verbal abuse might be less keen to do so. Also, their friends and family might be far less accepting, or even that those of an older generation are more content with their current sexual encounters, and feel no urge to 'try new things with an adventurous 45 year old bear.'
So, in saying that, I suppose I'm insinuating old people are prudes.
Which is true

Well, I'm 32 and I pretty much consider myself to be from the generation before all you youngins' here.
Seriously though, the whole idea of monolithic generations that we seem to have stuck in our collective consciousness is just a leftover from WW2. There hasn't been "a generation" in that sense since generation X, (Of which I consider myself a member. My parents are baby boomers, dammit.) because the rate of birth leveled off. Now there's just a steady stream of people again.

Other could also be an option for people that think of themselves as a-sexual by the way. I've met people on other forums that don't have any sexual interest in either gender, and say they are a-sexual. (Not to be confused with a-sexual reproduction, like most people on those forums trolled that guy for).
