discussion Anyone else feel like the term "bisexual" is a bit too broad?

I think more bi women than we think are attracted in some capacity to men, but are disgusted with the idea of sleeping with them because of various reasons, but they're still bisexual. There's a diversity of possible feelings here. You can still be attracted to someone but not like the idea of sleeping with

Of course maybe you do actually have zero attraction to men, which is fine. Just putting it out there that bisexuals can have complicated relationships with their own sexuality and finding the idea of sleeping with men off-putting isn't solely a lesbian experience.

There are two sex classes.

People are attracted to same, opposite or both.

There is no way of bisexual being broader than both sexes.

Sex in sexual orientation means which sex class or classes a person is attracted to. Not how much attraction anyone has to each. Or what type of attraction. You don’t need to experience an equal amount of attraction to each sex class to be bisexual.

This kind of confusion is what happens when gender ideologues change sexual orientation to sexuality. The two are not the same thing. Your developing sexuality may vary at different times of your life, you may experience more attraction to one sex at one time and more to another at a later time. Or you might only ever be attracted to one sex until you meet the one person of the other sex you feel attracted to and remain in a relationship forever. But that doesn’t make either scenario more or less bisexual. Sexual orientation is a black and white distinction. Or you might only ever be attracted to one sex.

*wasn’t Kinsey another of the gender idiot peados? Imho I’d stay away anything from the peado brigade.

I think labels are sometimes “dangerous” to focus too much on because as we have seen people can keep making up labels for themselves to the point where nothing has any meaning anymore.

In terms of sexuality I believe there are exactly 4 different labels that can describe every woman on the planet:

Heterosexual = a woman who likes only men

Homosexual = a woman who likes only women

Bisexual = a woman who is capable of liking women and men, whether equally or not

Asexual = I don’t think one can truly be asexual but there are people who seem to have very little or no sexual interest so this would apply to them

I personally believe every woman falls into one of the categories listed above. But sexuality doesn’t seem to be an exact science, so some people might feel like these labels fit better than other people do. Yes, bisexuality is a broad term, but so is every sexuality label. Not all lesbians are the same, and straight women aren’t either. So the same would apply to bisexuality.

Can you just say that you're on the lesbian end of the bi spectrum? That you're bi with a strong preference for women? I mean 99% of the time when you meet people I'm sure no one is talking about orientation, but if you're into a deep conversation with a friend who's asking what kind of partner you're interested in dating you can just explain it.

You can make up a new word for Kinsey 5's if you want, but you'll find that other people who adopt the label won't be exactly the same as you either. Like you'll have women who are the opposite, that don't mind having sex with men sometimes, but only want to settle down with a woman. It's probably a dream for all of us to stumble upon a group of women that have everything in common with us, but it's not that realistic. I don't have lots in common with many lesbians, even in terms of attraction pattern and sexual preferences, we're all unique.

I get that bi women who have had an actual girlfriend find that they don't have much in common with bi women who have only ever dated men, I empathize with that, but in your case you haven't dated women either. You aren't going to have a lot in common with Kinsey 5's and lesbians until you come out to everyone in your life and start publicly dating women anyways.

Febfem (female exclusive bisexual) would work for you mb?

I'm intending this post to be genuine. I'm putting this out there so thar you have a resource. There is a type of OCD that can hone in on sexuality. You because sexuality seems to be heavy on your mind right now (5 posts about it in the past 2 weeks). Perhaps a professional can help you.find some peace on this.

Your life will be easier as soon as you let the so-called “split attraction model” which is completely fictional, go.

I think a romantic attraction to men is a common behavior among women of all sexualities due to comphet (cultural pressure and romanticization of men). Bisexual men and women alike tend to view men as being the more ideal romantic partner and women as being desirable only sexually.

Have you actually dated men? There might be something in the media you've watched or in your parents or other couple that you like the idea of having for yourself and don't see a female partner as offering. For example, the hero who saves the damsel in distress could be appealing in theory, because of a feeling that you need rescuing. Then it's not sex you want, but the kind of help you've been taught comes from men. This is just one example of comphet that can take hold of women, even when there's no attraction at all.

This cultural brainwashing about the romantic abilities of men and women can shift after some experience. Whether a true bisexual or not, women can learn to appreciate women as romantic partners by dating them. Women can make great partners. It does depend on the woman but we tend to have more romantic tendencies and better communication in relationships, on the average. The cultural conception of romantic men is the fantasy of lonely women and the reality couldn't be more different. Women can be warm, devoted partners who will surprise you with sweet gifts and thoughtful gestures, remember your birthdays, your family's birthdays, your favorite flowers, gems, and how to crisp your bacon just right in the morning.

IF someone has no attraction to men, even if they haven't yet banished the romantic ideas forced on them I wouldn't see them as bisexual, just confused lesbians who haven't yet become intentionally female-centered.

Feb fem? at least when it comes to talking about it online - making it very clear you don't date men and you're a female only bisexual? other than that, I do agree with not having a specific label. the people who matter, they'll expect further explanation and due to your close relationship, you'll offer it. You can make it clear that you only want to be set up with women to whomever you trust to play matchmaker and have that be that, yknow? and because you haven't been sexual with a man, there wouldn't be much to tell to your future lady. like one can say they're an athlete, and then people go "oh what sport!"

even with hetero people, they'll say they're straight but the next question, with friends and stuff, may be "ooo what's your type!" because it's expected that everyone has a different relationship to what and who they're attracted to.

My technically bisexual gf thinks the term is too broad and doesn't actually describe her experience, feelings or wants.

I'm a lesbian and she respects that she cannot use this label to describe herself. For simplicity we will use the technically correct term "bisexual" if her sexual orientation is ever discussed. She prefers women in every way but 90-10 95-5 and 99-1 is still bi and it's ok to be bi.
