Dear Dr. Christina: I'm excited but confused

"I look at women and get excited but I don’t when I kiss women. How do I tell if I’m bisexual or not?"

Dear I'm excited but confused,

I would be curious to know what “get excited” means to you. I would also want to know if the women you are kissing are the same women that get you excited! Sometimes we feel a strong, energetic connection with another person or a deep affection that may or may not be erotic. Our sexual orientation is actually fluid and not fixed. This means that who you are attracted to could change depending on the circumstance or person. I would encourage you to continue exploring your feelings and don’t rush to give yourself a label.
