My experience
I've recently came to terms that I'm also attracted to woman it's something I've struggle with since I was a child but never told anyone. I was always confused and thought because I'd never seen it before as a child "why can't girls be with girls" I just thought it wasn't a thing.
As I got older I started getting attracted to girls as well as boys but never acted on it and just admired them in my head. I remember a couple times I'd go in to hug a girl friend and I'd have the instinct to kiss her one time I nearly did and the girl didn't react to it well and called me a freak and other cruel words.
It's no one's business but mine.
There's always been rumors about my sexuality but I don't feel it's anyone's business but mine, I've never heard a straight person go around telling everyone they're straight because no one cares so why should anyone care what I prefer in my bed?
My worries
I've never dated anyone but right now I have a crush on a guy and I worry he'll judge me and so will my family as I've grown up with all woman and I don't want to be seen as different from who I was before if I came out, I want people to like me for me also I feel my relationships with female friends will feel uncomfortable if I did because they'll feel weird around me and think I fancy them or something.
What made me realise I like women as well as men
Strange one I know but one day I was on instagram and a porn video came up by accident, I'd never seen lesbian porn before let alone porn, I used to be very innocent and prudish before I found porn but I instantly got extremely aroused and it felt right and I wanted it for myself. Also last year I was watching I'm a celebrity get me out of her (a British reality program) and I started to have a massive crush on Vanessa White from the girl band, The Saturdays ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇ I just think she a gorgeous goddess. Honestly, I don't even like her music but just WOW.
I don't want the stigma put on me and I don't get labels
I've noticed a lot of people assume bisexual people just like to sleep around or just want to be different and special when in truth I'm a shy, virgin, who votes conservative. If I end up with a guy I don't want people saying "oh so you are straight you were just going through a phase" no I still like women I just happened to fall for a man. That's what being bisexual is, I'm not a lesbian, there's a difference but at the same time I hate labels and I don't understand why people identity and express themselves though their sexual preferences. No one's cares, it's 2018. You're nothing out of the ordinary, you're not special, you're just another person going through the same shit as everyone else.
P.s. This is my first myTake so sorry if it's bad and sorry as well if there's any grammar or spelling mistakes, I have disylexia #boxticker
What Girls & Guys Said
23 51Interesting
Bi guy says everyone thought. He was gay since. 11-12 years old. So no coming out needed.
Joni says Fuck em feed em fish heads... what ever that means
Rolly polly fishheads hahah
If nobody knows you're bisexual, it decreases your chances of finding a proper partner.
Probably a wise idea.
Pretty common. Most women are bisexual but continue to say they're straight
No, they are not. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy and most women are straight. The reason why people seem to think this is due to homosexuality being seen as more acceptable for women. For men, they're called things like weak, girly and so on. Women don't have to deal with this, so more women tend to come out as bi, lesbian, pan, etc. What's more, they typical sexual categories are somewhat flawed, as sexuality exists alongside a spectrum, not a tick one box sort of thing. Both men and women tend to see even the slightest bit of sexual attraction to the same sex for women as being bi. It isn't looked at in the same way for men due to concepts of masculinity holding them back.
@RachelleDraws Women's sexuality is fluid. A 2010 survey of college-aged women, for example, found that 84 percent have fantasized about same-sex encounters or have had a same-sex attraction. And in a study by Meredith Chivers female participants (irrespective of the sexual orientation they identified with) became aroused in response to all types of stimuli — from straight and lesbian porn
Okay
dont stay in the closet cum on out
I came out and I don’t mind. Now, not only do I get to be in bed with sexy women with hot bodies, I get to be in bed with hot guys with huge cocks😝😛
aight!
You so happy because you hope for a threesome, didn't you? :)
@Berethor threesomes do nothing for me, ngl. i'm absolutely exultant for OP tho :) 👍
Interesting..
Most, if not all women are bisexual.

Even the kisney scale which attempts to explain sexuality as a spectrum acknowledges that anybody who isn't a 0 or 6 on that scale is bisexual.
Lol at anyone who believes women are heterosexual, they are all bisexual, they consume 2.5 times as much lesbian porn as guys and it's is by far the most popular genre of porn to the female demographic (pornhub statistics,). "straight" women are also literally more aroused by the female body than the male body, indiana. edu/.../Chivers_Seto_Blanchard_2007. pdf (read that, it's scientifically sound proof). Playboy once did a test where women where aroused by a lap dance by both male and female strippers, while men where only aroused by female strippers. Most women will make out with other girls after minimal alcohol, and will be willing to do sexual things to another girl during an ffm threesome. Normally the thing that makes a girl want to have sex with a guy will be non physical, non gender specific traits and will need these non gender specific traits to feel sexual attraction to them in the first place.
Female sexuality is fluid while men have a hard wired sexual orientation. Anthropologists say women don't actually have a sexual orientation, just an amorphous mess based off sexual narcissistic self affirmation. Disagree with me if you want but there is far to much evidence (both scientific and anecdotal) to consider heterosexuality the female default, look up female sexual fluidity and see that anthropologists and neuroscientists agree with me (well I agree with them). Women are more visually attracted to themselves auto-erotic and are closer to being lesbian than straight if you are being pedantic about it.

You are right it is no ones business.
We already know that you're all bisexual. Nothing new here.

@RachelleDraws I like your explanation of the differences in people's perception of bi women versus bi men. In our society it's sort of ok to be a bi woman, and they are accepted, not shunned. However, bi men are not so lucky. They are deemed gay (not bi), are not accepted by everyday society (as bi women are), and they are actually shunned and rejected by most women for being gay. I've seen this, a lot, and it troubles me. Women, in general, are unfair to bi men.
Stupid little girl. You have absolutely zero evidence to support your claims. Plus, you contradict yourself by starting on claiming most women are straight and then later on claiming women (and men) all tend to have a slight sexual attraction to the same sex, so you don't even know what you're talking about. You can count "straight" girls by the hand, the vast majority of you bisexual. Facts.
Humans tend to simply complicated thing into restricting categories. Sexuality is one of these things. Sexuality is a spectrum. Even straight people have a slight attraction to the same gender. That's why you can appreciate the appearance of someone of the same sex. Like I said before, Men don't see this slight attraction in the same way, as society sees male same-sex attraction as a bad thing, in addition to it being against society's idea of masculinity. Compare this with women, they see this slight attraction as meaning that they are bi, and as western society is accepting of bisexual women and doesn't have the same concept for feminity holding them back, as the concept is going through big changes due to the expansion of women's rights. And like you said, where is your evidence to your claims? As someone who is a lesbian, I know a lot about the subject.
This post was like 3 weeks ago and you finally reply back with that? Lgbt myths and baseless claims on top of more myths and baseless clams. And then you have the audacity to ask me for evidence after spurting nonsense that has no evident support.
Well here you go:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26501187
www.iflscience.com/.../
(You'll find the link to the study in there ^ it's long and complicated. This page I linked you summarizes and explains the study completely.)
You know, a simple google search can teach you a lot. On top of this there many things out there such as surveys on sexual past and porn preferences that can back the claim I stated. You on the other hand have nothing.
By the way, same-sex appearance appreciation, does not equal attraction. If that's what you're using to say everyone is attracted to the same sex then you have no argument. Leave me alone.
"The study notes that, unlike men, a woman’s sexual attraction may be less affected by a partner’s sex and more influenced by cultural and social factors" This is exactly the point that I was making. Even a study like this cannot be perfect, there are too many variables that are not accounted for. What's more, the female body is often over-sexualised, unlike the male body, if it was the other way around, people would likely be claiming that all men are bisexual. And may I point out your frequent use of ad hominem? You often attack me rather than my argument.
What? That wasn't your point. Your point was that most women are straight but at the same time everybody is attracted to the same sex. You contradict yourself and you have nothing. The entire point of the study was to show that even though women, like you, say you're straight almost every single girl out there is either bi or les. And that isn't the only thing that proves my point. You can say "too many variables are not accounted" but how about you "account" for why is it that the highest porn preference for women is lesbian porn? Let's see you account for that!
& By the way, I didn't do ad hominem. I said "stupid little girl" one time. Plus, you contradicted yourself like 3x by now, so you hardly even have an argument anyways.
My point is that sexuality is on a spectrum. Humans like to oversimplify things, including sexuality. We put sexuality into categories, rather than a spectrum, as it's much easier to understand and explain. (The OP noted that she didn't like this) Everyone has an attraction to each gender, no matter how slight. We call this slight attraction 'Appreciation' Females often mistake this appreciation for attraction. Males do not. This is due to a combination of things, such as the sexualisation of females, being gay is seen as unmasculine and the rapid change of the concept of feminity. I don't see the contradiction in this argument?

Lol I love bacon to much to become a vegan
I am bisexual and I feel the same way
I understand where you're coming from. The only people who know I'm bisexual are my best friend and my fiance. I don't feel the need to tell my family because it's my business and since I'm marrying a man, they'll probably think I sound crazy. But I'm not crazy. I'm attracted to women and men and I was lucky enough to find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, in a loving monogamous relationship.
Life is extremely short and it would be a shame that you missed out on one the most sensual parts by worrying what other people feel and do. Relax, take small steps, get advice, talk to those closest to you, find people with common interests and live your life to the fullest, with them.
I'm bisexual myself. Im not open about it but I have experienced and enjoyed both. I can get turned on by a wide range of woman, for me though, it's much smaller range.
OK, but, if I find you cheating on me with a girl, I'm gonna wonder, well, why didn't she tell me?
Wow that’s cool!
I have no interest in reading this, I just wanted the point of xper
