So I have been wondering about defining things. When it comes to what I like to see for excitement, is women, trans girls, and some guys. Being nude is the best. Since I can have fun with either image does that make me bi?
IMHO being bi is being capable of having feelings for both sexes. So if you like men and women in a sexual/romantic/emotional way, then you're bi.
That's an interesting question because I've always considered myself to be bisexual, but it's so difficult to find a concrete definition of that. For me, it was the strong romantic attraction I was feeling to men and women (I bet I can feel the same for non-binary people as well, even though I haven't met anyone who openly identifies as such). It wasn't that much about sex. But I've heard people say that they're bisexual because they enjoy sex with people of more genders, even if they only date one, and that there's a distinction between sexual and romantic orientation.
Yes, this can be different for different people. Take me for example. I only date women, but sexually men are attractive to me and there are some things I could do sexually with a man I would enjoy and I find men very aesthetically pleasing. But as for a dating and personality dynamic, I connect with women better and want to be married to a woman as my lifelong partner.
A common definition people use is the one given by Robyn Ochs “I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge in myself the potential to be attracted, romantically and/or sexually, to people of more than one sex, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.”
Thank you for this, bisexuality has always been kind of hard to define for me, it's nice to have such a succinct definition
Everyone has seems to have there own definition take me for example I am sexually attracted to women but romantically to guys.
Yeah there are various combinations of romantic and sexual attractions across gender boundaries in bisexuality
Our sexuality in my humble opinion is formed somewhere between conception and birth of us. Please don't shoot me down but I believe this. I was bisexual or gay way before any hormones kicked in to me as a young boy.
That’s one opinion but certainly not the only one. And for people who experience multiple attractions this model doesn’t work imho.
Right. Which I won't pretend doesn't confuse me. Because by that definition you'd technically be bi as well.
"Bisexuals are people who acknowledge in themselves the potential to be attracted—romantically and/or sexually—to people of more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree." --Robyn Ochs
