    I know that some people will probably find this question ridiculous and say that even just being a little bit attracted to people of the same sex is enough to count you as bisexual. The problem is, everyone has different opinions on it. Some people say that if a girl likes making out with another girl she could be straight while other people say that means she's definitely bi. Some people say just wanting to kiss and hold hands with a girl is enough to make you bi while other people say you have to want to get married and have sex and all that jazz.
    I guess my problem is that I have never even kissed a guy or a girl and so I even though I have been attracted to both genders I don't actually have the experience to tell if I like it. But I hate not knowing.
    I'm almost certain that I would want to get married and have sex with a guy if I fell in love with him. The problem is I'm not so sure about girls. I would definitely want to date and cuddle and make out with a girl. Maybe even marry. But the thought of having sex with a girl freaks me out. I don't know if that's because I haven't had as much exposure to the idea than having sex with a guy, or if it's because I'm just never going to be into that. I think that might be something that develops over time, since over the years I have become increasingly more and more attracted to girls (I'm sixteen, and I only really started being attracted to guys when I was 13 and girls when I was 14). Once I had a massive crush on a transguy and I liked the thought of maybe having sex with him- obviously he's a guy but I'm saying this because the thing that kind of weirds me out about f/f sex is the vagina stuff and he has a vagina. I'm grossed out at the thought of any oral sex, male or female, but oral sex is how most queer women have sex.
    Sorry this is kind of ranting. I just want some advice really. Am I bi enough?

    I think you qualify more as bi curious or only romantically attracted to females at this point. But you could see that shift in the future. Call yourself whatever makes you feel more comfortable or don't chose a label at all.

    Wanting to know what's it's like to be sexual with someone of the same/opposite sex and doing so makes you curious.

    Having a dopamine reaction to them (inducing pleasure or excitable thoughts) is sexual attraction.

    i have a straight friend who likes watching gay porn, he is 100% straight. He calls himself what he feels like calling himself. All the labels have gotten a bit hard to keep up with like genderqueer and heteromantic-and frankly i think its a bunch of bull- but you call yourself whatever best identifies you, which I'm just gonna guess is bicurious.
