Are Bisexuals a Valid Sexual Orientation or a Myth?

[lets_pretend]

Personally, I think in terms of sexuality there is a big "spectrum" or scale per say, where people fall. One end would be "perfectly" heterosexual and the other end would be "perfectly" homosexual. Different people would fall all over on the spectrum. You might be attracted to mostly males your entire life and have one or two crushes on a woman, if you are a woman this would put you near the heterosexual end but not completely there. I think there isn't any black and white, but everyone is different.

I just found this article, which may be referring to the study the opening post mentioned:

I have a friend who claims to be bisexual. He's quite obsessed with a large cleavage and has an incomprehensible amount of straight porn, he'll be glad when I out him has heterosexual I'm sure and will cease to pursue relationships with men.

Of course I think they exist whether the attraction tends to be mainly to women in the brain or men is beside the point, a heterosexual could not reasonably bring themselves to sleep with the same sex any more than a homosexual could bring themselves to sleep with the opposite sex, yeah they may do it probably when drunk or on a whim but it's not something they seek to repeat on a regular basis, unless they are bisexual, there's a point there no? I believe in the Kinsey scale, whether it's refuted or not patently anecdotal evidence is important in this case and sexuality is clearly a lot more complex than the lab tests would indicate.

Based on the studies, I'd say biologically, men are either straight or gay. But, our culture sexualizes women so much that perhaps they are also trained to see women as sexual objects and so often automatically behave accordingly.
