i'm not bi, but maybe they like softer, more feminine men. who knows? i think the point is that it is possible for them to love everything women and men have to offer in their own ways.

Some believe that people can be attracted to both sexes. Here is a link for you that might help to answer your question: http://www.indiana.edu/~kinsey/research/ak-hhscale.html

I am bi and have been for over 40y's and I love females ..mmmm yum but I do like male/male sex as well ..why?.. because its totally different sex to what female sex is ...looks, smells,tastes altogether different ...even the way its done..the way we go about starting to show interest in having sex with each other (and not I am not talking about the anal bit)...its very straight forward with out all the games you play with a female

It's not much different than loving steak as well as bread. They are very different foods but you can love them both for what they are. Bi people may see eating only bread or only steak as odd.

I'm not bisexual, but what about men who like strong women? Does that mean that they're automatically bisexual? I like MTF/"shemales"/t-girls and yet consider myself to be heterosexual. I'm attracted to the male sex, but a feminine gender. In the same way of your question, though, if I'm attracted to someone of African descent ("black") as well as someone of European descent ("white"), that I'm holding conflicting views because I like someone who's dark-skinned as well as someone who's light-skinned. Variety can be the spice of life, no?

I can only speak for myself and not the rest of the bisexual community: Physical attraction is all well and good, but that's not usually what hooks me. I'm much more concerned with whether we fit together as people and not as bodies. I look for a mixture of masculinity and femininity, and isn't that what everyone looks for? I look for a particular type of person, not the packaging. I won't deny that's what grabs my attention at first, but if they don't have anything worthwhile listening to, then they pretty much become "eye-candy" to me. I suppose my particular definition of eye-candy is different than others', so: Eye-Candy is nice to look at, but not much else.

good question i've wondered this also

I'm not bisexual..but I'm still able to recognize that there are really attractive people of both sexes. Just because you are heterosexual doesn't mean that you aren't capable of at least seeing another person in a sexual way.

If you're attracted to olive skin, deep, dark eyes and luxuriously black hair, does that mean you can't also be attracted to porcelin skin, crystal blue eyes and sun-kissed blond hair? Can you enjoy the bouncy, upbeat rhythms of pop music and still respond deeply to the melancholy stains of classical music? Sometimes, and for some people, enjoying the virtues of one thing doesn't exclude them from enjoying the virtues of another. And maybe they're not as opposite as one thinks. Can't there be strength and confidence under soft, curved feminine skin? Can't there be a gentle tenderness beneath the strength and muscle of a man's arm? Perhaps being attracted to both sexes isn't about enjoying opposites but in enjoying different mixtures and harmonies of shared human attributes.

I'm attracted to individual human beings, not a specific body shape or set of between-the-legs equipment. I also really like the steak-and-bread answer. ^_^

I'm a bi male and I am not at all attracted by male masculinity. I have no desire to caress or hug or cuddle, or hold hands with another guy. My interest is strictly sexual. I like to help a guy "get off". It excites me to know that I'm exciting somebody else that much. I like to feel a guy inside me, to feel how hot and hard he is, and how excited he's getting, to taste the precum oozing out of him, and feel him swelling and quickening his pace, until he erupts. Sometimes I like to kiss a guy after he gives me a bj, but only so I can more fully share in the excitement that he felt, by tasting my own cum on his lips. Otherwise I have no interest in kissing a guy on the lips.

I am attracted to both. I love the supple curves of a woman, the softness of the skin, the way women communicate and the way they look into thier lovers' eyes. I can become emotionally involved and 'drunk' with passion because women are so very intoxicating. I love the way they toss their hair and I love to run my fingers through it. I like the sound of a female voice, soft and gentle, almost timid, and the sounds they make, the arch of the back ... I like the complexities of female anatomy... I love the smell of a woman and the very nature of women... even though I am a woman..... A woman-woman can be(even though it isn't always) even closer than a man-woman relationship. I have only had one girl-girl relationship. I love the protective nature of a man, the angle of the jaw, the strength of a man. (Although I absolutley abhore strong musculature) I love the feeling of a man holding me. I love the way that they are so different... I like the feeling of well worked hands on me, I like the anatomy. I like the very different world view that men have. I like the smell of a man empassioned. I love the deepness of their voice, there is something soothing about it. I am on my second girl-boy relationship.... I enjoy the contrasting structures of both.... I enjoy the dynamics. Why should I confine myself to half of my nature.... and which side would I confine it to? I can like the taste of meat and the taste of ice cream... I don't have to choose one over the other. It's like ice and fire.... very different.... and very intriguing!

I'm not really bi-sexual, but I'd take a guess at saying they either: I) Find both feminine and masculine qualities attractive, in that they both like softer AND stronger qualities in a person, and thus both men and women - they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive opposites in terms of attractiveness. For example, many men who are completely heterosexual can still find generally masculine qualities -in women- to be attractive, and vice versa for women finding feminine qualities in men attractive, while still being completely heterosexual. II) Do not necessarily find people attractive based only off their physique, but rather personality traits, etc. III) Simply enjoy sex with both men and women, for any of a number of reasons. ***** These are just my guesses though *shrugs*

i find the world beautiful, in all it's different ways. there are beautiful things about mountains, and there are beautiful things about oceans. i choose to appreciate it all.

I dont believe bisexuality is a real phenomenon. I believe homosexuality and heterosexuality are real, but not bisexuality. Most so-called bisexuals are confused and dont know what they are saying. A lot dont want to believe they are homosexual, because of religious, familial, or other social or moral codes that force them to repel homosexuality. They let themselves believe they are still interested in heterosexual sex. Then again, a lot of other bisexuals think they are attracted to the same sex when they are not. It is one thing to see the sex appeal in someone of the same gender, to recognize the sex appeal that they have. Its a consequence of being an intelligent human being, capable of seeing patterns and social trends. To know someone of the same gender is attractive is to be able to integrate their traits into your own, to improve your own sex appeal. That is far different from actually, truly, being sexually attracted to someone of the same gender. So if someone of the same gender catches your attention in a sexual way, that doesnt mean you are attracted to them or want to have sex with them, and it doesnt mean you are bi. It just means you envy some characteristic that they have or otherwise see them as competition. When a woman says "she's pretty", I dont assume she is bi. I assume that she is recognizing the fact that I find the woman attractive, and possibly trying to squeeze some affirmation out of me of her own sex appeal. I can easily say "that guy is attractive to women" without it being confused for "I am attracted to him" And there is the third type of "mistaken bisexuality". The sort of woman who programs it into herself, who goes through the motions... because she thinks its what men want. She believes there is some social stereotype, that all men are attracted to bisexualism, and that she will get more male attention if she participates in the kissy, touchy act with other women. I have in fact known women who deliberately, falsely labeled themselves bi solely for this purpose. There is a fourth type. The sort of person who is attracted to someone of the same gender for his/her sex appeal... not because they are sexually interested, themselves, but because they want to be involved with that persons life. Because knowing them gives them an "in" to a certain lifestyle and certain social circles. So, saying "he/she is attractive, I want to know them" is hardly the same as "I am sexually interested in that person". I think a lot of people are confused by these distinctions. They call themselves bi when they arent, not knowing how they feel. I think a lot of homophobic, or otherwise phobic or the meaning being their own feelings... when its not really sexual interest they feel... but some other intellectual interest that confuses them, they cant draw the line, too naive to know the difference.

Because the attraction runs deeper than surface-features.

I'm attracted to beautiful people I don't care wether they are guys or girls. It's more than just physical attraction, it's love. And if it's with a man or woman I don't care as long as it's real and genuine. Yes I am also attracted sexually, but again it's more than that. That's why I'm bi and I love it ;]
