Thinking I might be bi / sexually attracted to woman?

Looking for someone with the same experience or can shed some light/am I overthinking this?!
I’m mid 20’s, currently in a 3 year relationship with a man, who I am veryyyy much attracted to! For some time though I’ve been quite curious about exploring with women?

I find myself getting off to women when it comes to sexual satisfaction i.e more interested in watching the woman than the man. I don’t find myself having a type when it comes to woman, I’ve found myself being interested in older women as well as some my own age. Obviously I know I’m attracted to and love my partner but can’t help but wanting to experiment with a woman
I’ll have friends that are girls and they will play with my hair or touch my arm or hand, any kind of physical touch just makes me feel more than it does with a man if that makes sense? I almost get butterflies.

Im not sure whether this is a general/common thing and I shouldn’t think too much into it ??

You're young so explore your sexuality.

So what if you are? What's in a label anyway? What if you were exclusively attracted to men, would you be 'exploring' with other men while in a relationship? And if not, why should it matter that you're also attracted to women?

Sorry to be crude but how do you feel about going down on a woman? Turned on or turned off?
Society places more pressure on physical appearance for women then men and women's bodies are more eroticized than men's. So being more interested in looking at women is not necessarily a sign of bisexuality.

l can identify OP, although l prefer to regard myself as “sexual” rather than bi sexual. No prefix required. My life story in brief, below. I’m now in my 40s.

Latter teen years: Interested in boys but used to indulge in “kissing practice” with a few girl friends, allegedly to make us better kissers for the boys. I believed this at the time, l now realise that there was more to it.

20s: A mix of one night stands, longer relationships and everything in between, all with men.

30s: Working away from home. A colleague (F) invited me to her place for a pizza and a video. She started stroking my hair, told me l gave certain vibes and it just happened although it took me quite by surprise. I remember thinking l like this.

Today l have friendships with both men and women. Of course, things are more complex if you have a long term partner and l’m not going to attempt to approach that here. 🌈
