I totally agree with lockbox and darkfemme; be sure you make your intentions clear so that you don't break any hearts due to a misconception of just what kind of experience/relationship, etc. you are looking for. Try approaching another woman the same way you would a man when it comes to getting to know them, etc.

I have always been attracted to both sexes, but I never acted on it until my ex and I split up after 22 years. I didn't before then because I believed in being monogamous; I didn't want to cheat with anybody--male or female. I decided after the split, however, that it was as good a time as any to act on that same-sex attraction.

Just like with men, I didn't want to jump in bed with another woman just because she was a woman and was willing to. I had to have an initial attraction and then get to know her, just as I prefer doing with men. My "relationships" developed, as a result, just as they always have with my male friends, too.

I have hesitated to let men I've dated since my divorce know about my bisexuality, because it seems like the first thing most of them want to do is drag in a woman off the street and expect me to go to bed with her...of course, with him hoping to participate or at least watch. I resented that. I wanted who I had sex with to be my decision, whether that person was male or female. Plus, I have made love to only two bi woman; all the rest have been gay. And the gay women had no interest in involving a man as a participant or voyeur (spelling?).

Also, I wonder how most people here would differentiate betweem being bicurious and bisexual. Or do you consider the terms to be synonymous? To me, bicurious sounds like you're saying that you really are heterosexual but are just curious as to what it would be like to have sex or make love with somene of the same sex. When I think of bisexuality, I think of someone who truly is attracted to both sexes, whether they've had a chance to actually have sex with both or not (just like virgins may be heterosexual, bisexual, or gay).
