Of course it can be a simple as sexual attraction. However, it doesn’t have to be. I think it is very important to understand, when thinking about this sort of question, that sexual-orientation defining words only really describe how you want to be seen. There are some words that a clearer than others. Words like ‘bisexual,’ ‘transgendered,’ ‘queer,’ ‘omnisexual,’ etc have muddled (perhaps purposefully) the once clear(er) boundaries of attraction. The truth is, many of us feel the way you do… this sort of ‘where the heck do I stand?’ place of questioning. Only you can decide if you are ‘bisexual’ or ‘straight’ or whatever. There is no ‘line’ to cross. If you feel sexually drawn to women, then you certainly could call yourself bisexual (if you wanted to) because you are interested, in one form or another, in two different biological genders (even if the interest is different in each case). Of course, there would be nothing wrong with self-identifying as ‘straight,’ either–Especially since you don’t seem interested in acting upon your sexual responses to women. I tried to answer your actual question in the first sentence, but there is really so much more to it than that. Do your own soul-searching. I started off feeling exactly the way you described… Then, after the first time I kissed a girl, I began being completely honest with myself about how I felt. I realized I was much more emotionally attracted to certain women than I had let myself be ok with before, not just that I found them sexually appealing. I think this has something to do with not wanting to accept that I might be anything other than straight (sort of like desiring a male life-partner… it just feels safer that way). My realization was that I was bisexual, and very strongly so. You, however, may (upon closer inspection of your feelings towards women) realize that you are only questioning, that you find women more attractive than men because you are more comfortable with the female body, or some other reason. For everyone out there, don’t jump into labeling yourselves. Just let your relationships come naturally.
