I'm sure people exist whose attraction does fall into some kind of seemingly exact 50/50 split between men and women, but if only those people counted as bisexual, there would be far fewer of us in the world than there are! A way of thinking about bisexuality that more accurately depicts the range of experiences and feelings that bisexual people have is to define it as feeling attraction both towards people of your own or a similar gender and of other or different gender(s). While this is a common idea, it simply isn't true or reflective of the lived experiences of most bisexual people.
When I talk to other people who are questioning whether or not they're bisexual, I find that many of them think they only "count" as bisexual if they're attracted to men and women only, in equal amounts and in exactly the same way, consistently over time with no variation. We're asked variations of this question fairly often bisexuality in particular is an orientation that many people seem to be curious but unsure about. But I can throw out some thoughts and ideas that might make it easier for you to come to more of an understanding about yourself and your orientation.Ī great first thing to keep in mind is that calling yourself bisexual (or any other term for a sexual orientation) at any time doesn't mean that's how you have to identify for the rest of your life, or even for the rest of the day, if your feelings change.
I can't definitively say whether you're bisexual or not, because your own sexual orientation is something only you can know for sure.
