Because apparently several people I know on Yahoo! Answers have claimed that someone can be straight and also have enjoyable sex with same-sex partners... but that would basically stretch the definition of "straight" into an unidentifiable mess, not anything meaningful.
Wouldn't someone "straight" who has sex with same-sex partners technically be bisexual?

As a label, "Straight" means sex only with adult partners of the opposite sex and the same species. Anything else is "Not Straight". You are close (if you need a label) in the term Bisexual for many of these.
Baring stories of forced same sex environments (some orphanages, schools and military service), especially among the young, any sexual contact with a partner who is not an adult of the opposite sex should eliminate the label "Straight".
In any society which publicly supports "Straight".as "Normal" there are pressures to declare oneself as "Straight" no matter what one thinks, feels or does. Labeling is social nightmare. I cannot imagine having to expand the name for this Category to "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Straight but having sex with same-sex partners".

Straight/gay/lesbian/bisexual are all identity categories and it's up to the person to figure out what s/he is. If they say they are straight and they've had same sex partners, they're still straight. lots of gay/lesbian people have, at some point, had sex with someone of the other sex and we still get to say that we are in fact lesbian/gay rather than bisexual.

Orientation is just a point on a scale between gay and straight. Gay guys can have sex with women and have kids (many here are in that category). But I think a good many "straight" guys who have have sex with other guys are in denial about how straight and non-gay they are.
The fallacy is in trying to pin labels on each other instead of accepting ourselves and each other as unique individuals.

someones actions don't dictate how they feel, i am homosexual, but i have had sex with a girl and i kiss girls all the time, this doesn't make me straight. acting a certain way will not change who you are, yes, there is a chance that they re bisexual, they might even be gay, but that is because they are human, NOT because they have had sexual relations with both sexes

To me, that is a bisexual. But I know some men say that if all they do is have a man do what a woman sometimes does on her knees, that "a mouth is a mouth" and that does not make him gay. No, but it makes him bisexual in my view. They make excuses because they don't like to think of themselves as bisexual. Why not? I guess they are thinking bisexual is "weird," and they don't like being weird.
I like being weird, myself!

Str8 Men in the Military or prison will have sex with other men. It doesn't make them Gay or Bi. It's a matter of satisfying a need for human contact and sex, it's not emotional. With Gay and Bi men it's usually emotional as well as sexual.

I'd say the call is bisexual.... having straight sex is having straight sex, having gay sex is having gay sex, having both is bi, isn't it?
It's only by definition... but there it is.
