I think bisexual is a difficult term because it is used to encompass a wide ranging set of behaviors, proclivities and orientations, i.e., anything that doesn't seem to fall into heterosexual or gay/lesbian gets put into the bisexual catchall category. And so I would say that the phrase by itself does not mean much unless you learn more about the person behind the label. You have many people who identify as bisexual, but as you have accurately pointed out, the term doesn't mean the same thing to each of us.
It would be nice to promote the use of a greater range of terms to describe sexual orientation, as I feel the word bisexual to be quite broad. But until some of the other terms become more widely used, I guess we are stuck with bisexual. It would be nice to see sites like this offer more than just bisexual as a descriptor.
It is a pet peeve of mine that most women who are looking for female-female experiences are doing it primarily to please a male partner in their lives. They aren't generally seeking it out as something for themselves. Although I don't begrudge them the use of the term bisexual.
And, in my experience, most women who self-identify as lesbian really prefer to be with other women who also self-identify as lesbian.
And then there are many in the bisexual camp who are happy to have sexual encounters, play partners with either gender, but not necessarily a primary monogamous relationship with either gender. For example, I have bisexual male friends who will have sex with women, but really prefer to be with men for their primary relationship. In the same way, some women who identify as bisexual, are still only interested in primary relationships with men.
I must confess that I know very few women who are equally at ease sexually with both genders, and equally at ease with actual public relationships with both genders.
Anyway, all of this is a long-winded statement about how inadequate the term bisexual is because it just encompasses too much. For the record, I actually believe sexuality is along a spectrum between straight and gay/lesbian with most people, even men, fall in between (even if some of us are unaware of our latent same gender tendencies). I think we really could use more descriptors for sexuality than the basic three (straight, gay/lesbian, bisexual).
