Sexual confusion

I'm not sure if I'm bisexual. I was married, so I considered myself straight. Then I was with a woman for a few years and considered myself a lesbian. Since then, I've been with a man and consider myself straight. I feel that being bisexual means being equally attracted to men and women at the same time.

Bisexuality is real.

And so is homosexuality, asexuality, pansexuality, and gender-fluid lifestyle. Sex is one of the most rich, complicated, and powerful forms of human experience. Trying to contain this energy within rigid moral and legal systems has never worked perfectly. Ancient thinkers understood this centuries ago, and native tribal groups created traditional roles for these individuals within their societies.

But don't worry about feeling "confused" or get tangled up in someone else's ignorant judgements. Find a way to love others that's true to your own nature. Like @ThePatientAnarchist has pointed out, labels are only useful if they help people understand themselves ✌
