As Zerbie is trying to explain, it isn't like you have this wonderful choice and you can go either way, rather, you feel a loss if you don't have both. Just like you would have a real void if you were forced to be with a woman, a bisexual person has a very real void if they don't have both.
I think it is harder to be bisexual than it is to be gay in some respects.

Paul,
I'm not sure I understand you. I think this is true for some, but not ALL who identify as bisexual. I agree with Zerbie: can't choose attraction, but we can choose what we act on. Research seems to suggest that a very small minority of the population is right in the middle of the Kinsey scale. For some bisexual people, monogamy works, because one falls in love with and commits to a specific partner, rather than to a gender. The attraction to both sexes is always there, but not everyone has to have partners of both sexes.....though certainly some do seem to.
