    You seem to be aware of this, but I'll say it anyway: romantic and sexual attraction are different things from one another. Some people who, like you, experience sexual but not romantic attraction towards either gender identify as bisexual because the literal definition of bisexuality refers to sexual attraction to both genders, regardless of romantic attraction. Then again, labels are just labels so you can ultimately call yourself what you want.

    I have a similar but opposite situation in that I feel some romantic attraction towards other men, but no sexual attraction.

    I think it's funny you said "not all the time though"doug,, I am bisexual and am only interested in a physical relationship with men but for women I'm interested in physical and romantic. Whats funny is that i'll loose interest in men for maybe a month or two and only go after women, and then i'll loose interest in women for a month or two and only go after men...it doesn't seem like i'd ever be able to be with both at the same time (physically or romantically) all I can do is go with it and that's my advice to you
