Yes its real. I sexually like men and women :)

..... Right now i see you as a very unfit mother and i'm only 14.....

Telling your daughter something that can only be one way or another and not knowing it it's real, then going to YA! to see if it's true. Really, you shouldn't have said that and i suggest you apologize, it must have really hurt her feelings. I know it would hurt me if my mother said that..

And yes, bisexuality is very real.

It's when an individual(male or female), is attracted to both sexes.

Meaning your daughter wouldn't have a problem having sex or being romantically involved with a woman or man.

To me bisexuality is a plus. Because you can marry ANYONE(100% of the human population), as to oppose a straight/gay person who would only want to marry male or female, which is only half the human population.

Also SO MANY people are bisexual, i know that some don't tell some people because they fear they will not accept them for liking both sexes. Just like some gay don't tell anyone they are gay..

I'm sorry for the first line and second paragraph i was just really upset... And just speaking what i really had to get out....

I'm genuinely sorry, because i know a LOY of the answers are gonna speak their minds to..

Well it exists and persists so it is without a doubt real. A more interesting question is it a central sexuality or a lack of rigid sexuality? I find that question far more interesting but I'm a strange person. The "issue" with bisexuality and "taking it seriously" is very complex. In any society where a person sits between a socially desirable trait and a socially undesirable trait people who can "chose" which side of the divide to stand on are always looked upon with distrust by those on one side or the other. The people on the positive side what to know who you'd ever go over there with the "bad" people and the people on the negative side fell you will jump ship at any moment. You can see this in any community through time, talk to blond Italians during various stages of migration, ask Germans without accents who lived through WWII, fair skinned blacks during Jim Crow era America. Every generation has it's groups and every dichotomy has people who shift between the two poles, and there will always be people who look down on or distrust those in between.

Of course it is, I think everyone deep down inside is bisexual, even the homophobes and people that claim to be 100% straight.

And yes I am bisexual, and it is just as real as being straight, gay, and lesbian.

Yes, it's real. I suggest you read on on the Kinsey research done decades ago. Very few people are at the ends of the spectrum of sexuality and straight (heterosexual) or gay (homosexual/lesbian). So, said another way, bisexuality is not only real, it's a lot more prevalent than this society wants to admit.

I find it very scary that you told your daughter something and then ran here to find out if you told her the right thing. Let's hope you don't parent that way all the time. I can just imagine "No, honey, you can't get pregnant if you do it in the pool. Okay, bye, sweetie. Hey, I better get on Yahoo! Answers and see if that is true!".

Bisexuals exist- people who feel attraction to both sexes. Not sure if that qualifies as "real", but we are out there, yo.

Bisexuality is real and in my opinion much more difficult that heterosexuality or homosexuality. It can be very confusing as you can differ between either sex and it can be very stressful. Some people like to believe that you are confused or perhaps even greedy but I see my sexuality as something to be proud of as it makes me different, it makes me who I am. I just see it that if I find someone attractive, gender is of no importance. Unfortunately not everyone sees it that way

Bisexuality DOES exist. I consider myself bisexual. I am attracted to both males and females, have been in relationships with both and find both equally and differently attractive.

You might want to go back and talk with your daughter, coming out to ones parents is always awfully difficult and your response probably didn't make her feel very accepted, like a freak.

Good luck with your daughter, I hope you can sort this out.

Yes it can seriously be real I myself am bisexual and i can assure you its very real. I cannot tell you why it is that i like both sexes because i just do. In any case it exists and its the hardest thing to be because we dont fit in very well with straight or gay people so please accept your daughter and dont question her she would know and you dont need to understand how its possible you just need to be there for her she needs you.

I've been responding, both sexually and romantically, to people of both sexes for over forty years, and in that time I've a lot of people who did as well. For us the qualities that we find attractive can occur in either sex. Bisexuality exists on a sliding scale and far more people are some degree of bi than are actually purely gay or straight, even if they never choose to act on it. Our sexual preferences are not a matter of choice, please don't tell your daughter she needs to "choose" to be one or the other, that's no more possible than if she was gay and you told her to "choose" to be straight.

Entirely possible for your daughter to be bisexual.

Assuming she doesn't match any of the stereotypes of being a lesbian, she may have a girlfriend or two, but will probably end up with a guy. Regardless of if she does though, you should support her through it.
