Yup, don't fret over it, like they all said.

Sexuality is made up of many components, including gender identity, the importance of emotional intimacy, the enjoyment level of certain foreplays, ect ect ect. The fact that you can list what you like and don't like is a sign of a growing sexuality that you will eventually become comfortable with, and can label later. Don't let that make you all slutty though, I mean honestly it bothers me how young people are today *lol even though I'm 18* They don't seem to understand that a large part of finding your sexuality has nothing to do with how much time you spend in the bedroom, but rather in exploring in your mind where you eventually want to end up in your life, and what will get you there. It does take a small amount of actually seeing for yourself buuut, you're young, experience will come to you even if you don't go looking for it. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's kind of like a puzzle full of peices. You're never going to finish it though, nobody does and that's what's beautiful. Even as you grow old your sexuality changes. Start with what you already know about your sexuality, who you are, and go from there, and the appropriate amount of experience will come to you.

The idea that our preference of partners is on a spectrum is rather accurate actually, because although we may enjoy many things about either sex, in the end it depends on where you want to end up. For example, you could enjoy the rigidity of a mans penis, or the curve of a womans hip, or the way she giggles, or the way he is strong and supportive. All these things are merely things you enjoy. The distinction comes in when you consider rather you would be happy with the person the traits belong to.

bi⋅sex⋅u⋅al

–noun
2. sexually responsive to both sexes; ambisexual.


According to the dictionary, you either are or are not, depending what you interpret "sexually responsive" to be. Since you find their bodies attractive, you could either be having an aesthetic reaction or a sexual reaction. That's something only you can answer. Many people arn't so much turned on by women as they find them very pleasing to look at, especially seeing them having sex and enjoying it. It's hard to find the distinction. I would think hard before you use this as a label, and maybe talk to some other bisexuals.

My personal experience is that I enjoy looking at lesbian porn a lot, but that I'm a straight female simply because I would not want to actually BE with a woman. The idea doesn't disgust me, but the absence of desire kind of qued me to understand. You sound very similar to my own case.
