Just an observation really but I wondered what others opinions might be. On the personal details part of a profile one of the options under sexuality is bi-curious, surely you are only curious till the moment you try a bi experience and then you are either straight because its not for you or bisexual because you enjoyed it and want more.Anyone else have an opinion on this, it just seems strange when you see profiles that state bi- curious yet they have verifications that show they have had a few bi experiences over quite a period of time.

I use bi curious (rightly ot wrongly) as really I think of myself as flexible. If it feels good in the moment I like to be with women as part of group play but I would never want to meet a woman one on one and don't class myself as Bisexual xx

^ similar to this. I think some people want to be free to 'try' stuff with the same sex, but might not want to go the full way.

I went through a stage that I loved to kiss and caress another woman, but didn't want to go further.

thanks for commenting and just to clarify I'm not saying its right or wrong I'm just offering a view and wondering what opinion others held. I myself started on Fab as bi-curious had a couple of meets with guys that I enjoyed and changed it to bisexual

If someone is bi curious I view that as someone who is curious about being bisexual, but hasn't done it yet.

If someone has put bisexual then they have had sex with both women and men.

If someone is bi curious I wouldnt be interested as I don't do first timers

Tricky one that. I have no interest in guys as potential BF or going out with a guy in a relationship. I never look at a guy coming into a pub and think "ooo he's hot", like I do all the time with girls. However, put a nice cock in front of my face and I'll MORE than likely suck it til the spunk shoots over me. Answers on a postcard what I should be called ??

This has been discussed before and like most subjects will have varying opinions.

For me I think it would be better if each bi category had a sub section for preference. So Bi curious - top, flexible and bottom and Bi top, flexible and bottom.

But I suppose the risk is everyone puts themselves as flexible to get the most responses.

For me, I would put bi flexible but that's because my bi experience so far has been mutual wanking and oral, I've been rimmed and fingered and I have fucked some tv and guys while their partners watched but not been fucked, plus my preference is to explore more with similar open and interesting people, so it would make sense to me to put bi flexible.

It would make it easier to search and find the type of bi people we desire.

Just a thought and certainly not a perfect solution but what do people think? Worth trying?

I'd suggest you block single guys, that will tell anyone looking at your profile you are not into 1:1 with males to start with.

It sounds like a bi - oral only category would be of benefit.

How about:

Bi curious - flexible

Bicurious = not yet had any bi fun but curious about trying their stated preference.

Bisexual - oral only

Bisexual - top

Bisexual - bottom

Bisexual - flexible

Bisexual = have tried bi fun and wants more of their stated preference.

We use bi curious because when we had bisexual on our profile there was an automatic assumption that the Mrs would want to have girl on girl and that is not always the case.

Bisexual means you are ATTRACTED to more than one gender. It has nothing to do with whether you’ve had sex with certain genders, or how often you’ve done so. It simply means that you are attracted to more than one gender. I was just as bi before my first experience with a woman, as I was after it. Because I have always been attracted to women, men, and non-binary people.

If you aren’t attracted to people of your own gender, but you play with them when in the right mood, you are probably hetero-flexible. But you’re not bisexual.

Personally, if I see bi-curious on a woman’s profile (or the woman in a couple), I’m wary. She might be genuinely bi but has fallen into the mistake of thinking she’s only allowed to call herself “curious” because she hasn’t had sex with a woman yet. Or she might be straight but willing to play in a very limited way with a woman, and that doesn’t appeal to me at all, because I only want to play with people who fancy me (just like I don’t want to play with people I don’t fancy).

Honestly I don’t think threads like this are helpful to people who might be unsure what they’re “allowed” to call themselves.

“Top” and “bottom” are pretty meaningless for the majority of women.

A lot of gay guys here use 'bi-curious' - they are curious about women, not men - but, of course, that's not how most people will read it

The other 'upside' for them is that the supposed curiosity attracts guys who wouldn't be comfortable meeting a gay guy - and there are plenty of them

I think you can only use the term ‘curious’ until you have experienced something, after you have your no longer curious.

It’s like thinking I wonder what’s inside the box, once you open it you know, curiosity is gone.

It’s a moot point, because it’ll never be added to the options, but why should we? Anyway, “flexible” isn’t the word, it’s either “vers” or less commonly “switch”, but either way why should we use male labels to describe ourselves?

Well I will have to agree to disagree there, I think you can only maintain a state of curiosity temporarily and in the short term. Once you have experienced something, especially several times, then you have made a conscious decision so you aren't any longer in a state of curiosity. Sexual attraction is not always about physical attraction either.

"Bisexual means you are ATTRACTED to more than one gender. It has nothing to do with whether you’ve had sex with certain genders, or how often you’ve done so. It simply means that you are attracted to more than one gender. I was just as bi before my first experience with a woman, as I was after it. Because I have always been attracted to women, men, and non-binary people.

If you aren’t attracted to people of your own gender, but you play with them when in the right mood, you are probably hetero-flexible. But you’re not bisexual.

Personally, if I see bi-curious on a woman’s profile (or the woman in a couple), I’m wary. She might be genuinely bi but has fallen into the mistake of thinking she’s only allowed to call herself “curious” because she hasn’t had sex with a woman yet. Or she might be straight but willing to play in a very limited way with a woman, and that doesn’t appeal to me at all, because I only want to play with people who fancy me (just like I don’t want to play with people I don’t fancy).

Honestly I don’t think threads like this are helpful to people who might be unsure what they’re “allowed” to call themselves.

Well thanks for expressing an opinion but if I might say this you seem to have totally misunderstood my original post that started this thread. It was about the options under sexuality when filling out the personal details on your profile and I stated a viewpoint, just as you have done, however, for you to say a thread like that isn't helpful is tantamount to you being presumptuous that only your stand point on this is valid and no one else's opinion or observation matters

Your OP said this:

“Just an observation really but I wondered what others opinions might be. On the personal details part of a profile one of the options under sexuality is bi-curious, surely you are only curious till the moment you try a bi experience and then you are either straight because its not for you or bisexual because you enjoyed it and want more.Anyone else have an opinion on this, it just seems strange when you see profiles that state bi- curious yet they have verifications that show they have had a few bi experiences over quite a period of time.”

Which wasn’t about the profile options as such, it was stating that someone can only be bi-curious until the point they have a bi experience, and basically said that you think people shouldn’t put bi-curious if they’ve had a few bi experiences.

The rest of the thread turned into people stating as fact what people should call themselves, which is the part I find unhelpful to anyone questioning. If you go and look up any bi resources elsewhere on the internet, you’ll find that they say much the same as I did - sexuality labels are based on attraction, not on action.

Well I will have to agree to disagree there, I think you can only maintain a state of curiosity temporarily and in the short term. Once you have experienced something, especially several times, then you have made a conscious decision so you aren't any longer in a state of curiosity. Sexual attraction is not always about physical attraction either."

Now who’s misunderstanding posts? I personally think bi-curious is a somewhat meaningless label, as you’re either attracted to more than one gender, or you’re not. I don’t know what you want to “agree to disagree” about, because all I said about “bi-curious” was in quoting you.

Sexuality isn’t a matter of making “a conscious decision”, one can’t decide not to be gay for example. Equally one can’t decide to be bi.

And sexual attraction is almost always about physical attraction, I’m curious as to what else you think it’s about? As I somehow don’t think you mean becoming sexually attracted to someone because you find their personality attractive.

Well someone can be sexually attractive to someone without being blown away by their physical aspects. Some are Drawn to confident people, some by those in a position of power and status. Sometimes those with all the supposed sexual attributes think having what is perceived as a sexy body are not actually that sexy other than visually appealing at first but lacking any kind of sexual spark

But it’s all attraction, regardless of exactly why. It still equals being attracted either to one gender, or to more than one gender.

I'm sorry but you are going completely off track from the topic of my original post and as much as I enjoy reading your particular perspective on things I think this thread has run its course. Perhaps you would like to start a new topic for discussion?

I think some people use the term to indicate that they can be attracted to the seme sex but their attraction to the opposite far outweighs it.

Its all hogwash trying to label people. Surely if you are heterosexual and can become bisexual you can go back to being heterosexual. Sexuality has to be fluid people can change their orientation multiple times.
