The answer to this is to search your own thoughts and decide whether or not this person of whatever gender or gender preference is someone you may wish to get to know, someone you may wish to submit to, someone you may wish to play with, and/or someone you may think about forming a relationship with. People tend to let pressures of the thoughts of others push them towards "I should".. or "I should not".. without regard for that you truly wish. The ONLY label which is ever correct for me is one I tie on my own forehead. Even then you can not be sure from reading my label that you really understand what it means, without talking it over with me. Bi or gay or straight or whatever are all terms many use in very different ways. My thought is that if you are attracted to anyone, their gender only makes a difference if you chose to allow it to make a difference. Submitting to someone does NOT necessarily mean that you will experience sexuality with that person, there are many forms of domination and submission. Experiencing sexuality with a person does not mean you have a powerful orientation towards that person's gender, it simply means you have a powerful attraction to that person. Some dominants require their subs to submit sexually to others for the dominant's enjoyment, whatever the genders involved may be. Obeying and pleasing one's dominant (within one's hard limits) does not mean one's sexual orientation is changed at all. I have had the Honor to be allowed to play with and even to partner with women who label themselves as Lesbians on a number of beautiful occasions. The fact they might top me or submit to me or might enjoy me sexually does not change the fact that they are oriented to women, or that they label themself as Lesbian. T respect them very much and fully accept whatever label they wish. I have also known women and men who labeled themself as "bi", but had a pretty solid orientation toward just one gender. Not my business to argue about the label, only they know what it means to themself. It seems than more men claiming to be "bi" to play with couples prefer women partners, but will accept men to get to the women. It also seems to me that more women claiming to be "bi" also prefer women partners, but prefer the term "bi' because they may still like a man at times. However both of these last are personal impressions about people I have met, with no statisitcal evidence involved.
