Bi-curious

Someone who is bi-curious has a sexual orientation, behavior, or self-identification, which is close to but not quite entirely heterosexual or homosexual. There are several different conventional meanings of this term, some of which are mutually exclusive.

Heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality have at least three components:

• Sexual behavior - The gender of the person's sexual partners.
• Sexual orientation (or preference, inclination, etc.) - The gender of people which create a spontaneous sexual attraction.
• Sexual identity - The label or community (or lack thereof) with which a person affiliates themselves.

The boundaries between the three categories, heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality are also problematic. Each of the three components of sexual orientation, instead of being divided into three zones, could be described as points on a spectrum. Alfred Kinsey conceived of a seven-point spectrum, from 0 for exclusively heterosexual, 1 for almost completely heterosexual, 3 for equal attraction, and all the way to 6 for exclusively homosexual. Of course, any number of segmentation schemes might be created. Some are of the opinion that most or all people actually have a "bisexual" orientation (if not actual bisexual behavior), either because they have the capacity for sexual attraction to all people (which they may have suppressed), a slight attraction to members of the "inappropriate" gender, or the ability to appreciate the beauty of all human forms (or at least beautiful forms of both genders).
