Am I Bisexual?

I am married to a wonderful man. But here's my question. In the past, I've slept with several women and kissed even more. Am I bisexual? Or was I just having fun? Part of being bipolar and drinking at the time?
Just curious if one would call me bisexual. Sounds weird to me.

Only you know the answer to this question. If you were just experimenting and there was alcohol plus possibly a manic phase - this lessens the chance you're truly bisexual. It also depends if being with a woman felt very intense physically or were you going through the motions. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Being bisexual is not really about what you do or who you do it with. It's about who you're attracted to. If you have a definite sexual attraction to men and women, then you would fit the definition of a bisexual. If you performed these acts with women but aren't really attracted to them, then that could be due to a number of things like a manic episode or alcohol; but also experimentation, joking around, or just having fun. Usually performing an act does not 'turn you' gay/straight/bisexual. It just helps you realize whether you are or aren't. I've known quite a few women who have performed sexual acts with other women, but would be considered straight or with a strong male preference.

I'm also of the opinion that our current classifications for sexual orientations are very limiting. I know quite a few people who don't easily fit into any of these categories. I think that understanding yourself and your sexuality, and being comfortable with it, is more important than finding out what others would define you as. In the end, we're all quite a bit more complicated than a one sentence definition.

I like what Araya had to say.

I've never thought of my self as bisexual, nor been sexually turned on by a woman. But a friendship with a woman became a bit more for me, started as a dare to kiss each other. Then we decided we liked it, got carried away and were sexually intimate. We then fell in love, and had a proper relationship. I left my boyfriend at the time to be with her.
This lasted about 6 months.
I'm now back with my boyfriend from earlier (Don't ask, it would appear to be a mess, but it's going well)

Anyway, I've never looked at another woman and been turned on by her. This was a relationship that stemmed from true love (So I believe anyway). Even though I'm with a guy now, I do not look at other woman and believe - wow, she is sexy, I'd like to make out with her.
So where does that leave me?
I do believe that the strict descriptions of straight, gay, bisexual... are really too limiting, as we all have different things going on in our heads and hearts.

The "funny" thing is that the woman I was involved with is bipolar, and used to have major mania spikes. I have since been dx'd bipolar, but have never experienced full mania. While our first experience may have been due to both of us having had a few drinks, and her possibly in a manic phase - this doesn't explain a relationship spanning 6 months...??!?!
Gosh, I've just managed to confuse myself!

I never really fell in love or had a relationship. It was more of a one time thing. But I do look at women and think they are attractive. Tomorrow night, me and the hubby are going to a strip bar! Yikes.

I don't think that would put you in a category of bisexual. In my opinon it's probably a lust and experimentation thing

Thank you, sugahorse. I totally agree that it's just lust and experimentation.

well i dont know about lust and that not if you've done it more than once, i've kissed a girl and i know that was experimentation. as my mom puts it you are you and there's no changing it. there's no shame in liking woman seriuosly, some of my best friends are lesbian or bi _ gay and i aint judging.
