When I was 11 and going through puberty i started to display interests in girls parts. I also fantasised about having sexual encounters with women. However at the time I had this intense crush on a guy. I’ve only ever felt attraction towards him in my life and im now 19. I’ve never had a crush on a girl I know. However I’ve felt intense feelings for fictional women. When I told my parents at the dining room table when I was 15 that I thought I might be bisexual and why. They just told me that I have to pick one gender. That i cant like both. It made me really confused. And the person Im staying with at the moment told me that bisexuals aren’t real and there just people who will have sex with anything. So Im confused? Am I bisexual or not?
