Is it possible for a man to be bisexual when he feels attracted to a man, but he thinks he's not?

    hmmm, well it is possible for a man to be bisexual if he CHOOSES to be.. however if a man came to me with concerns about being attracted to a man and wondering if he could be bi or homosexual, I would strongly encourage the man to really think about weather this "attraction" was actually sexual attraction or is his compleate admiration of this man was mistaken for sexual attraction. Sometimes men and women find someone that impresses them so much, they gain a great amount of ADMIRATION for someone of the same sex and they confuse it for attraction in a sexual way. I would tell them to step back and figure out which it really is before labeling themselves a bi or gay.

    There is a 50% chance. You see the idea of being bisexual is when you are open to the fact that you can go with a man or a woman. The other alternative might be he is just curious. The only way to truly know is either by exploring the idea or just trying to figure out your feelings.

    Human sexuality has a very wide range, so a person could be "slightly" bisexual, but mostly straight; or, vice versa, "slightly" bisexual but mostly gay. It's really up to the person to decide who he is attracted to -- it's important not to shut yourself off from any options, and not to allow others to stray you. Going with your heart and your mind is the best policy.

    Also, if a person is young, it's not abnormal for him to be confused about his sexuality -- at the age when the hormones are storming, all sorts of odd things can happen. Usually by the time the person reaches the age of 18-20, he can pinpoint their sexuality pretty well -- but it could take even longer to figure it out.

    He can be attracted without necessarily being bi-sexual.

    There are many reasons why attraction strikes a certain individual.

    You may have a pleasant memory triggered by a person,without realizing that its happening.

    A voice, or type of eyes, or a nice mouth etc. could be very attractive no matter what gender or sexual oientation you may be.

    Bi-sexuality is something you don't need to ask about, if you were bi-sexual you would be as aware of it as a hetero or homosexual is.

  • I think bisexual is a term that only applies to people who admit to their feelings. If you are a person who does not want to admit to those feelings, I don't think there is anything wrong with that either, it just wouldn't be called bisexual. People are going to be who they want to be, this can change over time. It may be that he will be bisexual in the future. Either way it's his decision how he wants to be perceived by others and the status he ascribes to himself.

    Anything is possible. They may not be bisexual, just bi-curious! You have to just go with the way you feel. If you don't think you are but yet you're attracted to the same sex, then you're either wonder (curious) or you're in denial.

    He thinks he is not bisexual, or he thinks he isn't attracted to the man.

    Sounds like you, (I mean he),is a little confused. If there is attraction, maybe.

    I think if you feel a sexual attraction to both men AND women, that is what makes you BISEXUAL.

    If you are having sex with WOMEN, but are sexually attracted to MEN, you are in DENIAL.
