Both of my friends believe that there's no such thing as in being bisexual. There's only gay or straight. I believe that you may be Bi through out your teen years and obviously lean towards the other sex more than the other, and then most possibly you'd find out if you're straight or gay. What are your thoughts on this?

I believe in curiousity, I think you can be sexualy attracted to both sexes so I guess I do think there is such a thing as Bisexuality, best of both worlds I guess.

Bisexuality is a very real sexual orientation and is just as "real," as heterosexuality and homosexuality. These beliefs and comments about bisexuality are--unintentional or no--ignorant and biphobic (and unfortunately they are also common).

Bisexuality most certainly does exist and many people live their entire lives bisexual; some people really do have the capacity to love people from either gender.

However, some people do in fact lean towards one gender over the other--they are still bisexual though. To the extent of my knowledge, more bisexuals than not lean towards one gender over the other as opposed to liking both equally.

To end this, I believe you should take a look at these videos. They are short and simple and offer a great look at bisexuality from a young bisexual man.
(Though I am also a young bisexual man too, but hey.)

During the teen years when you experiment, it's curiosity. Bisexuality is when you are attracted to both sexes after puberty and your sexuality is figured out. You can be physically and emotionally attracted to both men and women. You don't have to be just attracted to men or just attracted to women as today's common labels describe gay and straight.

Bisexuality does exist, you can certainly be interested in both sexes and enjoy a relationship with either. Curiosity exists as well, you can be interested in a single sex but be a little curious about the other, it's very common during teen years/puberty.

I certainly think so. Otherwise I wouldn't have a sexuality. I like guys and girls. Simple as that.

Of course it does, some people like both boys and girls not just in their teenage years but throughout their life. You cant just rule them out and put them in either gay or straight depending on which way they lean on more.

It exists even more so than just full gay or full straight.

I consider myself as bi, as I am attracted to both sexes. And especially those that has more feminine feature, you know what I mean.

As has been said, you don't chose your sexuality. Sexual preference, in the sense of defining it to a single term, is determined by the gender an individual finds themselves emotionally or sexually attracted to. A person can find themselves sexually attracted to members of the same gender - i.e. enjoying gay porn - while only finding emotional happiness in relationships with members of the opposite gender - i.e. seeking relationships along the lines of dating with girls/boys depending on your gender.
A person can also be emotionally or sexually attracted to people of multiple genders and define themselves as bisexual, pansexual etc.
They may not find any type of attraction for anyone: asexuality.

I don't think any of them exist.

As far as textbook definition at least.

I think every single person has the capacity to love anyone, whether it's a single person in the world of that gender or many. Can't say that it would be sexual or physical if you're straight or gay, but certainly you could fall in love with someone of the other gender. To what degree is the question. But I don't believe in 100%, 50%, and 0%.

I actually agree with this to a degree. I don't believe that somebody can be 100% straight or 100% gay, and I don't think there is an exact middle ground. I think that you will always sway one way, although it may change. But you certainly can be interested in both, as I said before.

im bi, i hate this debate. yes people can be bi. I love doing sexual stuff with guys, I am physically and emotionally attracted to guys. I love women. big tits arent my thing but i like boobs, a slim body and a bit of a butt. I have emotional ties to women as well. yes there is such thing as bi. I hope to eventually marry a woman and start a family, but until then i'm gonna keep flip flopping back and forth.

The only true answer to this question can only come from someone who is bisexual. I'm not bi, so I have no idea what it feels like to be attracted to both sexes, therefore I cannot say that bisexuality exists. I trust in people to say how they feel, so that others ca be helped. As long as bisexual people identify themselves as bisexual it exists.

It is all subjective. Who's to say it does or doesn't exist, if one sees something or someone attractive do you not pursue your curiosity or marvel at its purity?

Scientists agree that sexuality is on a spectrum, with gay on one end, straight on the other, and bi in the middle. Everybody falls somewhere on that spectrum, including some in the middle. therefore, yes it does exist, and your friends seem to be somewhat ignorant about bisexuality, if I may say so.

I agree 100%... okay so i am bi ive never said that to anyone before but i am... ive always had an attraction for both sexes and theres really no telling it if exists or not... am i a unicorn or something? No i dont beleive i woke up one this morning... its more of a label than anything for the people that meet on the middle ground....

Being bisexual is completely legit! i would know i have been this way for 5 years, and it is completely normal to lean a certain direction, most bi people do, though it is also possible to be attracted to both equally.. whatever the person feels is right for them. and to anyone who thinks bisexuality is make believe or what have you.. well... whats right and makes sense for others doesn't exactly have to make sense for you.. as long they are not bisexual, they shouldn't worry/discredit it

Being Bi is like not caring about liking both sexes, as long as the person you like or love likes you and treats you properly, well, that is what it is for me anyway

To me i think it exists, i could see myself in a realtionship with a guy or a girl, i think everyone will sway one way or the other, but when you have been like this for so long it has gone past the "curious" stage and you realise that this is just who you are. You can be intersted in both sexes :)
