Am I really bisexual if I don’t want a relationship with a man?
DEAR DEIDRE: I AM a man who has slept with many women and met guys for sexual encounters.
But I don’t ever envisage a relationship with a man, so can I really consider myself bisexual?

I feel confused. When I was 16, I lost my virginity to another boy.
I went to an all-boys’ school and there was a lot of sexual activity among my friends.
I have two sisters and go out with them and their friends a lot. I have had sex with a few of them.

I’m now 19. If some guy I liked came on to me, I wouldn’t turn him down.

DEIDRE SAYS: Our sexuality is on a sliding scale, with some people being totally gay, others totally heterosexual and many people being somewhere in between the two.
You don’t need to label yourself. Instead, focus on enjoying exploring your sexuality.
Many people feel sexually attracted to their own gender at some point but that does not necessarily make them bisexual or gay.
