Are bisexuals always physically attracted to both sexes?

I am 16(male) and I believe that I am bi. However I am having a hard time accepting it because I am not physically attracted to men. By that I mean I do not get a hard on from a nude picture of a guy or gay porn. I do often think that certain guys are hot/ cute, I sometimes fantasize about guys and I do get a hard on from gay literature. From my searches online I have found 2 articles from studies that were done on bisexuals on whether they were physically turned on from gay porn as well as straight porn. The first from 2005 found that individuals were only physically attracted to one sex or the other. However the second from 2011 required that the participants had been in a relationship with both sexes for at least 3 months and had, had sexual experiences with at least 2 individuals of each sex. They found that most individuals were attracted to both. I basicly want to know if any bisexuals here have always been physically attracted to both or if there was a time that you knew you were bisexual but were not physically attracted to both.

Think of it this way, your sexuality is like a sliding scale. Call it 1-5. Lets say 1 is Straight 5 is Gay, 3 would be Bisexual. So 2 would still be Bisexual but leaning more towards the opposite sex. And 4 = Bisexual leaning towards same sex.

Using this "thought" you could be a 2. Of course you could also say the scale is 1-10 or 1-100. Maybe thinking like this helps you figure it out better?

 

No Offence, But You Don't Sound Like A 16 yo To Me....

I am 16 trust me

 

in that case

it's way past your bed time.

 

A wonderful age, since you're in your personal era of discovery :sunny:
So, now you're seeking advice and wisdom from the bi- and pansexual elders... well, first of all, being one (age-wise, at least), I can tell you about my personal experience:

my answer to your question is: YES! But that's clearly just my personal experience and feeling about attraction to all sexes (that's what pansexual is about... I dig human beings in general - sexually, too). As soon as I realized that, my body went along in tune, providing very nice sexual encounters and the knowledge of sweet lust with other people of all genders.

So, all good humor aside, which I've read so far (Oh, GLEN, you're such a gorgeous, handsome tease, making those cute little jokes! :love: :drool5, I hope I could help by providing a little info on finding an answer to your question.

(whoo-hoo!! I was the first person to vote in your poll... and so far, I'm 100 % of people answering the "yes, always" question!)

 

imo they are always attracted to both sexs, thats why they are called Bi sexual isnt it?

 

I've always been physically attracted to both male and female. I think to a certain extent almost everyone is a little bit. No matter how "100%" heterosexual you are male or female you know the difference between an ugly and a beautiful member of the same sex even if that appreciation of beauty doesn't lead to a physical attraction. In reality what bisexuality boils down to is the ability to engage in sexual activity with either male or female. I believe that women are way more open to this than and suspect that the vast majority of practicing bisexuals are female (like me and my girlfriend!). Thing is, lots of "bisexuals" aren't actually equally attracted to both sexes when it comes to relationships and anything further than sex but have a stronger preference towards one gender when things get romantic. It may be that you are attracted to sex with men from a physical activity point of view but your main interest is in females which is totally ok. There's no need to get hung up on it.

 

What im trying to get at though is that there is a difference between attraction and physical attraction. So it makes me wonder whether i will grow into my physical attraction to men because that's what these studies suggest. I just wanted to see if anyone else grew into it.

 

I`m male, and I might owe my bi-curiosity to the systematic insensitivity, dismissiveness, and objectification and/or manipulation of women toward me. Were it not for the battle of the sexes, I may have never discovered it...so, I can only thank the sex war.

I am physically inclined toward women more, but romantically toward men. That is not to say that I don`t think men are attractive or that I don`t have sexual fantasies about them, I do. Only on a lesser penetrative scale.

Likewise, I also have romantic feelings toward women. But, at this point, only bisexual women who are obvious evolutionary mutants and have all male qualities (physical strength, courage, aggressiveness, honesty, sexuality, etc.).

 

Sexually I am more into men (as male bottom) however romantically I am more to women. Its hard to cope with it in real life I think.

I am in relationship with woman but crave for cock sucking/anal pounding quite often...

 

I'm physically attracted to both sexes, but I'm only mentally/emotionally attracted to men.. thus I only have relationships with men

 

I'm more attracted to women both sexually and emotionally. Only slightly interested in guys sexually.

 

Interesting, if you found a really great guy though would you consider dating him?

 

Honestly couldn't say as it hasn't happened.

 

im attracted to both sexes both physicaly and emotionaly. But i am more atrracted to women both physicaly and emotionaly.

 

I'm attracted to both, but I go through ~phases where I like one more than the other. I just think that in general, I'm more attracted to women both physically and emotionally.

 

Honestly, I tend to find myself more physically attracted to women...but as I get older I find the idea of a relationship with a man more emotionally fullfilling

 

It's all to do with the prostate.. the reason you are confused!
