ORIGINAL: eyesopened (those people are normally referred to as "very bi") but i believe there are many more who can enjoy same-sex as an activity but which does not touch their heart. I'm glad I made you smile... :-) But, whoever is "normally" using the word "bisexual" that way is using it wrong. It's binary in nature. Either you're attracted to members of both sexes, or you're not. It's not about touching your heart so much as about touching your libido. I have heard "a little" or "very" or "theoretically" used to modify "bisexual" in terms of the frequency or commonness of that attraction with arguable correctness... But it's not a matter of whether or not you do it. "Bisexual" is not, in any way, a matter of doing something you have no natural urge or desire to do, for it's own sake, to be obedient. That's just a heterosexual boy/girl performing a homosexual act, on command. It's like when they guy gets drunk and finds his junk in some other guy's mouth... "OMG! Does this mean I'm gay!?!" No. It means you were drunk. it doesn't mean "a little gay" or "somewhat gay" Nor is the sober guy who was blowing him "very gay" (although, if he's a total Queen, we might call him "very gay" ;-) It's just a matter of denotative, clinical definitions as opposed to loose, connotative casual definitions. Homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual already have proper clinical definitions... We don't need to make up new ones.
