So you’re watching a blazing hot sex scene between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- and you can’t decide which one turns you on more. You have a boyfriend, but you just can’t stop fantasizing about your female roomie’s bangin’ curves. Are you bisexual? If you’ve ever wondered, read on.
It’s hard to get a handle on just how many women are bisexual. A study of American women 45 and under found that 2.8% thought of themselves as bisexual, although 11% of women had had a sexual experience with a member of the same sex during their lifetime. And it gets more complicated -- two-thirds of women who had had a sexual experience with another woman considered themselves to be heterosexual.
So what makes a woman bisexual? How can you tell whether you’re bisexual? And if you are, what does that mean?
Being bisexual means that you are attracted to members of both sexes, even if you’re not sleeping with them. (Many people find this term limiting, because it doesn’t include people who are transgendered, intersexual, or otherwise don’t fit easily into one of two sexes -- some people prefer to call themselves “queer” or one of many other terms, but “bisexual” is still the most commonly used term. )
Here are some things bisexuality doesn’t mean:
