Wondering If You're Bisexual? Here's A Quiz To Help You Figure It Out

For some people, their sexuality is as clear as day, while for others, it might be a source of confusion. If you've found yourself here to take this quiz, you probably fall in the latter camp.

Understanding your sexual preferences is important for having a healthy sex life and fulfilling relationships, which are two important factors to our overall well-being.

Bisexuality is defined as being romantically, sexually, or emotionally attracted to more than one gender. Sometimes, it overlaps with pansexuality, which is attraction to people regardless of gender. (Here's our guide to the distinction between pansexuality and bisexuality, if that's of interest.)

As sex therapist Jesse Kahn, LCSW-R, CST, explains, "In the past, we commonly thought of bisexuality as being attracted to both sexes, but this more contemporary definition offers and honors gender identity over biological sex and is more inclusive in that way."

If you just discovered you're bisexual (or even biromantic), you might be wondering—now what? The most important thing for people who are learning more about themselves in this area, according to licensed therapist Jor-El Caraballo, LMHC, is to give yourself "a lot of grace and compassion.

As he previously told mindbodygreen, "There are a lot of external messages and voices that contribute to our internal programming and belief systems. This can make feeling secure in your identity difficult."

Work on feeling secure and confident in your sexuality, and lean on people you trust for support—especially those in the queer community. To that end, getting the support of a licensed professional who specializes in sexual health or LGBTQIA+ issues could be tremendously helpful.

Regardless of your sexuality, remember that labels aren't necessary if you don't resonate with any one in particular. But if you do feel like you resonate with the "bi" label, that's great—congratulations on your self-discovery!
