Re: Am I Bisexual?

[citrinesunset]

You don't have to act on your sexuality for it to be a part of who you are, so I think figuring it out can still matter. It all depends on what's important to you. For me, understanding my sexuality was (and is) important, regardless of whether I'm dating or sleeping with anyone. But some people are less concerned about it.

I think bisexuality is a spectrum. Not all bisexual people feel the same way, or are attracted to different genders to the same degree. Some people are bisexual but only date or have relationships with people of one gender.

Also, identifying as bisexual depends somewhat on your perception of yourself and what sexuality means to you. You can take two people, who experience the same attraction and make the same choices when it comes to dating/sexual partners, but only one of them might identify as bisexual. There are a lot of people who might be able to call themselves bisexual based on their relationships or who they're attracted to, but consider themselves gay or straight.

This, again, is partly because bisexuality is a spectrum. Some straight people can appreciate people of the same gender, and some gay people have had relationships with people of the opposite gender. But their attraction to their non-preferred gender is so small that it doesn't really affect their view of their sexuality much. But where you draw the line between "I'm straight, but that actress is hot!" and "I'm bisexual, but I probably prefer men" is pretty subjective.

When it comes down to it, if you're aware enough of your attraction to women that it feels like a part of your sexual orientation, even if you wouldn't act on it, I think "bisexual" could be accurate.

But if you'd rather not try to define or label it, that's okay, too. It's also okay to not know, as long as you're comfortable. (At the same time, it's also okay if you're not comfortable and would like to be able to describe your sexuality. People can put a lot of emphasis on avoiding labels, but sometimes having a word to describe yourself can be comforting.)
