To me, trying to explain one's sexuality is like trying to explain your political or religious or whatever alignment; all comes down to you and most of the time, the only people who understand why are the people of the same mind
Wellll, sometimes it really is black and white for some people, some are completely gay or straight and have nothing to explain at all.

Bi-sexual - Someone who is SEXUALLY attracted to both sexes.

And you can't be fooled into BEING gay, only into gay acts.

I have slain this thread.
Nay AccursedTheory be reasonable. Thou mustn't act without mercy on such a young naive thread!

But, yeah pretty much this.

Ace: No idea mate.

Angel: I guess...they simply want to feel connected with someone on a genderless level? They're more committed to the idea of an emotion that will gratify them, even sexually, regardless of gender.

Luigi: I guess to like to keep their options open...and if you did not make a dirty joke out of this statement, you're a better person them me.

It's all to certain degrees. I consider myself bisexual, because I have no issues with and feel sexually attracted to both genders. I have different preferences for both genders, I think female asses are hot, I think male asses are usually not what I look at. I think male backs are very attactive, but female backs are usually not what I look at.

It varies. Just like it varies within homosexuality and heterosexuality - the only difference is that a bisexual doesn't really think of gender a dealbreaker/maker.

I suck at explaining. XD

Well, it's been answered basically already, but it's the same things that go through your mind when looking at the opposite sex. Bisexuals just can be sexually attracted to both sexes. That's not to say more people by any means either. Everyone has a type they like and will normally go for and that doesn't go out the window for bisexuals. There's no difference with bi/gay/straight when it comes to choosing a partner. Just when it comes to gender. Everyone's got their preferences and their dislikes in partners. No different with any other sex.

As for someone being 'manipulated' (fucking horrible choice of words by the way) I think society is still more inclined to dissuade people from being completely open about their sexuality. Don't get me wrong, leaps and bounds have been made even in the last forty years, but society's views still lie somewhere around 'tolerance' rather than 'acceptance'. If you could elaborate on that point as a whole I'll try and give you a cleaner answer?
Oddly enough, I had this discussion a while ago with someone. It's all about tolerance rather than actually being accepted in society and it seems to be worse sometimes for those in the middle as a lot feel inclined to state they're only either gay or straight with no middle ground. Even with that though, as you said, unless you're just entirely straight, it's discouraged to ever even mention ones own sexuality. Probably won't ever get to the point in society when one can just speak openly about that though.

To quote Kiss Kiss Bang Bang :
'But you see a naked guy... your brain says, "I want that." I don't make that leap. It's like, "Look, there's an elephant, quick let's drain its blood to paint my boathouse."'

In all seriousness though, I can't imagine it's much different to what us straight folk think, just occasionally replace 'girl' with 'guy'.

Maybe attraction to personality is more important than gender?

Don't know, I've never really let gender get in the way of sexual attraction.

So what would you call straight guy who can look at another guy (gay or not) and think "he's sexy"? I do that, (I have a kid, so not gay) But I can honestly say that, even if I was being 'tricked into a gay act' I would neve follow through with it. Maybe a kiss *wink*
That's called a 1 on the Kinsey Scale [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale].

You quit worrying about it if it doesn't affect you.

That simple rule would solve almost all of the world's problems.

I'm bi. I just find hot girls hot, and hot guys hot. Really not that complicated. Also, many bisexuals have a slight preference. Myself, for example, find that girls tend to be hot more often (to me, at least) than guys... But that's probably just the boobs.

Anyway, yeah, bi = girls and guys are sexy!

Wait, someone actually made a scale of that? I'm also surprised someone could get their name attached to such a simple and obvious scale.

Incidentally, that article links to the article on 'sexology', where they seem to have used the seediest picture they could find to represent it. Especially when it's apparently a purely research based field.

And yet so many people find it so innovative the first time they hear about it...

(ETA: The sexology thing is... really funny. Oh wikipedia, how you crack me up.)

What goes around in their mind? are you bisexual? what is the thought process when you get attracted to someone?
for instance a hetero , would think of a boy as sweet..
do u think a vulnerable person could be manipulated at a sensitive stage into believing he/she is gay?
Err, OP this is pretty simple. They are roughly equal sexual preference for both genders, it's that simple.

No inherently different thought processes other than that. It isn't even a thought process, it's an instinctual response:

See boobs => get aroused

See cock => get aroused

It's that simple, there is no logical or rational thought process to FEELINGS! You just feel them. It's like eating your favourite food and you going:

"BUT WHYYYYY Do you like it?!? Why do you like Marmite, why can't you hate it like I do"


But moving on, you did actually say:
"do u think a vulnerable person could be manipulated at a sensitive stage into believing he/she is gay?"

Only if they were either:
(a) Actually be gay, or
(b) so impressionable and conformist to the point of being a mental disorder

More commonly gay people delude themselves they are straight because they don't like the "gay lifestyle" (and all the bullshit stereotypes that go with it) and are terrified of rejection by expressing their affection to man who is likely hetero and would be disgusted or at least awkward. There is NO INCENTIVE for someone in society to pretend to be gay if they were not.

When it comes to sexuality, there are NO ABSOLUTES! It's called sexual PREFERENCE for a reason. Men who exclusively have sex with women in society will find themselves having sex with men when deprived of women such as in Prison or in the Navy or whatever. But interview these sorts and they won't say they are gay, they're just saying they are pursuing relationships of convenience.
