do you think that bisexuals will be attracted to both men AND women for the rest of their lives, or do you think that they are just confused. most teenagers nowadays think they are bisexuals, is that just because they are young and impressionable?

Yes, but I think the whole gay or straight thing is a bit too extreme. It really makes more sense to be bi for most people. I mean think about it: how many gay guys have you seen that also find a woman attractive? Maybe they don't want to date them but the feelings aren't non-existent for many. Bisexuality is just being a bit more honest for a lot of folk.

Yes I do think that there will be an attraction to both genders for life. The idea that a bisexual is confused and is either straight or lesbian comes from the thought that a bisexual can't be monogamous because we like both genders. Once we fall in love and decide for a monogamous relation we are thought of as either hetero or lesbian, not as a bi in a relationship.
Those that were homosexual when homosexuality was still very much in the closet often ended up labeled as straight. That didn't mean that they were straight. Once homosexuality was out there was still an issue with being bi, because bi is thought of as "confused" and so on. And people ended up choosing sides, even though they were bi. The young today feels less pressured to pick a side, and that's why there are more young bisexuals now. IMO.

Yes, I think that bisexuals will remain attracted to men and women their entire lives (being bisexual is not the same as being confused). That doesn't mean that they will forever alternate between men and women sexually, just that the attraction will remain. Most will be more attracted to one sex than the other & will form a lasting relationship with someone of that sex.

I've known I was bisexual since puberty. I seem to be equally attracted to a specific kind of woman and a specific kind of man. I tend to be attracted to people, not their genitalia. I'm not confused, I never have been. I have found my life partner and I expect this to be the very last relationship I have in my life. While we are the same gender, we are definitely bisexual. However that doesn't mean we will ever have an intimate relationship with men again.

I'm not confused and, at 38, I still find men and women attractive. As for the teens - well, many of them are just experimenting in the more accepting society in which they find themselves. Some would like to be bi but aren't. Some will try and not like. Some will say but not be. Most will deny and be truthful. A few will be ...

Yes , I think if you are truly bisexual you will be attracted to both,
but in the end you will either end in a gay or straight relationship ,or you stay single and Bi . It's all about choice for people that can lean either way.
So when it comes down to it , it just proves how ridiculous it is give a sexual preference a label.

Could be because of the age also but Sometimes they carry on the same mixed emotions when the grow older. So then they can be categorised as Bisexual or heterosexual. Right now they are just confused as they on every subject

Can't rem who promoted the philosophy that everyone has some varying degree of bisexuality. Most of the women I know are bi & I'd even be willing to experiment if it would turn on the other half (yes, we swing).

Most teens are curious and exploring their new bodies and emotions and changing perceptions of the world. That's it for most - curious and open about it.
For those who are, Bi-sexual = Bi-sexual, not confused.
Personally, I think most people fall into the bi category to one degree or another, and that totally straight or gay makes up the minority. It explains so much about societal attitudes towards homosexuality and also why so many go gay when in an artificially imposed single sex condition (eg. prison).

Some people are confused- that's called a period of questioning, experimentation, curiosity, and so forth.
But for those who are 'truly' bisexual, they are NOT confused. They know exactly what they like. Take it from me!
