How do you explain bisexuals?

The question of "what goes around in their mind" is a perfect example of how people overthink and overcomplicate matters of difference between people.
There's really nothing complicated here. And yet, someone's bringing complexity into the equation with this line of thinking.
This isn't a flame, just a point I think more people should think about.
Men and women, gays and straights (and bisexuals), etc. We're not all that different. It just seems it when one overcomplicates things.

My sexuality is fixed. It's just located in an area that allows me to enjoy men and women.Cgull said:
Think of it like blood type.
You have A - and A likes certain things.
You have B - and B like certain things.
You have O - and O likes certain things.
You have AB - and AB likes certain things.
Bisexuality is AB.
The real question is, who the hell is O?!

Well I have a strong preference for women, but decided i was bisexual a few years ago, (i'm a teenager, btw) and by now I'm sure, I'm sexually attracted to men as well as women. but i think deep inside a good percentage of people *could* be bisexual if they opened their mind a bit. hell, we're all just people
EDIT: in response to the 'bisexuals are sex-crazed' thing, I'm quite a sexual person inside but aren't we all? I'm quite introverted until you get to know me

Not bisexual myself, but... Escapist-only info, being totally honest, I wondered if maybe I was. I concluded that I just don't have a cow when I see a man naked, but I'm only sexually and emotionally attracted to women... so I was straight, but secure in my sexuality.
Somewhat unrelated story aside, I can guess that it's very freeing to know you wouldn't mind it either way, but a little harrowing (as I imagine just being gay is as well) because people are even less likely to understand and not get creeped out by you. It's kind of depressing when I think of it that way. Like has already been said, it's different for everyone and not every bisexual fits neatly into an exact definition. Someone may identify themselves as bisexual, but only be attracted to under 10% of the otherwise attractive and interested girls they meet, or vice-versa. Asking someone to quantify and collapse their whole spectrum of sexuality into a neat little summary is asking a lot, and for a lot of people, asking the impossible.
To answer the second question, no, I don't believe someone can be "tricked" into having a different sexuality. That's what homophobes say when their children turn out to be gay... maybe it was that person they were hanging out with, maybe it's taught too early in school and confuses youngsters, it's just a state of mind, it's just a phase, etc. etc..... I have to wonder about the combination of those two questions. Is the OP trying to indirectly tell us a story from his own life?

As far as I'm aware there's no thought process, conciously or not. Same as everyone else. There's an attraction, or there isn't. You can list things you find attractive, but it's something more than the some of its parts, for me.
And people can fool themsleves into behaving any number of ways, but it's my belief that sexual orientation is a spectrum, people don't fall on one side of a line or the other. They're some of the way along it, on either side.
I don't particularly like the tone of the OP, to be honest...
There's certainly the possibility of an unpleasant inference from it.

This is just silly.
Why is anyone attracted to anyone else? Bisexuals are the same, they just happen to be attracted to two genders. I also don't like how you say "vulnerable" or "manipulated". Could someone be lead to be bisexual? I think it might be possible (I am not on the "definitely wholly genetic" bandwagon for a variety of reasons). Is there anything wrong with that? If the person is unhappy, maybe. But why is being bisexual wrong if it isn't a definite, rigid genetic thing?
Also, it's dangerous to say that bisexuals "don't have a preference for gender". Some do, some don't. This distinction matters with regard to some transgender and genderfuck people.

I suppose some people just either like having sexual relations with both or just don't mind..
Personally, I assume its just for a great big ball of human lust, when you're horny not many parts of your brain will say no to more sex...
I also assume we refer more to the female bisexual rather than the male variant, which is considerably rarer..

Where are you getting your facts? Porno sites have informed me of the latter tidbit, so of course I don't believe it at all.Lord Kloo said:
We are hardly genetically programmed into the three categories of heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual. Our attractions are a combination of genetic pre-programming and our reactions to our surroundings and situations. To put it simply, we are all bisexual. Some are more inclined to one sex or another, and some are interested in both.
According to Statistics Canada, 10% of Canadians are homosexual or bisexual. However, I would think that some of that 90% are lying to themselves, and some were simply to preoccupied with the opposite sex to notice a their own. I'm sure that given the right conditions, likely involving depression, those in the heterosexual category would take some interest in their own sex.
