On being "bisexual"

I found this article today, where someone discusses the label "bisexual" and all that implies. Read here.

That is why, I am so hesitant to call myself bisexual. But I can't make a jump to another label completely. I call myself "sort of gay". So I'm stuck. I am technically bisexual because I can sleep with both men and women, I still find myself attracted to men and women; but at the end of the day, kissing a girl is so much better, having sex with a girl is so much better. But I can't say I'm gay, because that would imply --to me at least-- that this is a decision I will stick with in my future and I can't say that.

Have you read/seen the movie about Kinsey? You should... He basically came up with the idea of a sexuality spectrum... Basically, that it's not as clear-cut as Gay/Bi/Straight... everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum. Maybe you're more Gay/Bi than Bi/Straight, if that makes sense :P

Oh, and a question. If you were to end up with a guy in the future and it was a long-term thing (marriage and kids and the whole bit) would that be because of family/societal pressures or are you holding out for a guy that will be as awesome as it is with a girl? Or both?

I would have to fall completely for him, and the connection, sex and making out have to be amazing. I can't settle for less. But the truth is that I don't know if what I have with girls I can have with guys. I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied until I have it with both, in which case, then I'm forced to make a decision. I won't be able to hide behind the "hoping this time it'll be amazing" excuse.

Oh and I don't know if my fear is completely based on family/societal pressures, but more my own fear that I will choose a side and it be the wrong one. Haha, that sounds so greedy.
