Am I bisexual

I'm mid 30s, had lots of partners in my past but been settled past 6 years with a baby and one on the way. Very happy but I do fancy women sometimes even tho I've no experience in that area at all. So am I still classed as bisexual ?

You are if that's how you consider yourself. If it helps you with your thoughts, I find women attractive and have had sex with a woman, but do not consider myself bisexual as I am not emotionally or romantically attracted to women.

Depends if you feel labelling is helpful for you, some people do. Then yes, in my opinion if you are attracted to both men and women then I would consider that as bisexuality.

Do you feel labelling yourself as bi would somehow be helpful? Is it about belonging - about finding your tribe?

A couple of warnings for you.

I always describe myself as "straight with a hint of gay". I enjoy having sex with women, but I have never developed an emotional attachment to a woman. The LGBT community has tossers, like any community, so if someone is having a go for not being "not gay enough" just tell them to fuck off.

You might want to consider having two dating profiles. One for hetero, one for bi and gay encounters. Not for reasons of people throwing shade (because you couldn't care about their stupidity and small mindness )

I’m very much in the hetero boat but I’ve had huge crushes on women and had sex with women. I think it’s a broad spectrum and you don’t need to label it really unless you need that label to help you find yourself and to help you feel like you fit in somewhere.
Although we like to label ourselves, People don’t need to be put in boxes.

Answer = probably. And l agree with the comments about labelling here. I don’t see any benefit in giving yourself a prefix.

I thought of myself as hetrosexual until l was beautifully and deliciously seduced (and l hasten to add, very consentially) by another woman when I was in my 30s (40s now), these days l just regard myself as “sexual”.

Enjoy your own body and thoughts and share them as you wish. Flowers
