Poll: Just realised I am bisexual

[thedailylunatic]

At the same time, you roughly doubled the amount of people you can conceivably date. That's pretty cool.

More like ten percent, considering the majority of people aren't in to their own gender. And like you said you lose the monosexuals that are put off by the idea.

As for me, its a maybe Bisexual. I know I like girls, and I've been attracted to guys (not just famous ones ether), but I can't confirm if I would have sex with a guy. So whatever, I just keep on rolling with it. Whatever happens will happen.

I agree... hence the qualifier "conceivably" ;D

From all I've read on the subject, biological male bisexuality doesn't exist and is a purely psychogenic phenomenon. Again, that's subject to trollstorm. If you're a dude who likes both, you're probably either just gay or just straight + confused (according to the research, anyway). If you're a chick who likes both, the research actually indicates you may be in the majority (the research on that one is a real funny one).

I've heard none of this study, I have heard of this study though.

Its more than just three things, bisexuals have different levels of preferences.
In any case I know I'm in to women, so I'm not gay. I'm also In to monogamy, so I'll eventually stay with one person, and by the transitive property, one gender. Then whether or not I'm bisexual will be a moot point anyways.

Not a study. That's a thesis, Kinsey's if memory serves. Regardless, it measures sexual behavior, not sexual attraction. I'm too lazy to look up the study, but there seems to be no biological basis for male bisexuality. The subjects (regardless of stated orientation) only registered significant physical signs of attraction to either women or men, never both.

It was posted earlier in the thread along with irrelevant arguments about about semantics. It was one study and was kind of shaking, stating that sexual attraction is a hard thing to define and it was all very complicated. All I know is that there are men that are willing to have sex with both and enjoy doing so, thats good enough for me, even if there is a strong preference to one side. Also it turns out bisexual women aren't a majority, just that a majority of those tested, which claimed to be bisexual in the first place.

Here it is if you want to re-read it but I'm kind of done with this discussion.

I my self am bisexual yet I still go for men really but I've had crushes on girls before. As a note I'm a girl just to clear things up.
