Which type of bisexual are you?

When I was single, I was an alternating bisexual with emotional bisexual attitude. Since I am married now, I would only engage in hedonistic bisexual behavior if my wife would join in and approve.
 
There is no simple definition of bisexuality, and bisexual people are a very diverse group. There are several theories about different models of bisexual behavior. J. R. Little is a psychologist whose extensive research identified at least 13 types of bisexuality, as defined by sexual desires and experiences.

They are:

Alternating bisexuals: May have a relationship with a man, and then after that relationship ends, may choose a female partner for a subsequent relationship, and many go back to a male partner in the future.

Circumstantial bisexuals: Primarily heterosexual, but will choose same sex partners only if they have no access to other-sex partners, such as when in jail, in the military, or in a gender-segregated school.

Concurrent relationship bisexuals: Have primary relationship with one gender only but have other casual or secondary relationships with people of another gender at the same time.

Conditional bisexuals: Either straight or gay/lesbian, but will switch to a relationship with another gender for a specific purpose, such as young straight males who become gay prostitutes to make money or lesbians who get married to men in order to gain acceptance from family members or to have children.

Emotional bisexuals: Have intimate emotional relationships with both men and women, but only have sexual relationships with one gender.

Integrated bisexuals: Have more than one primary relationship at the same time, one with a man and one with a woman.

Exploratory bisexuals: Either straight or gay/lesbian, but have sex with another gender just to satisfy curiosity or “see what it’s like.”

Hedonistic bisexuals: Primarily straight or gay/lesbian but will sometimes have recreational sex with a different gender purely for sexual satisfaction.

Recreational bisexuals: Primarily heterosexual, but engage in gay or lesbian sex only when under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

Isolated bisexuals: 100% straight or gay/lesbian now but has had at one or more sexual experience with another gender in the past.

Latent bisexuals: Completely straight or gay lesbian in behavior, but they have strong desire for sex with another gender but have never acted on it.

Motivational bisexuals: Straight women who have sex with other women to please their male partner who requests it for his own titillation.

Transitional bisexuals: Temporarily identify as bisexual while in the process of moving from being straight to being gay or lesbian, or going from being gay or lesbian to being heterosexual.

So....

Started as the exploratory bisexual. Wanted to see what is was like. After that curiosity was satisfied I realized I enjoyed myself, but was still figuring myself out. So that led to me being recreational. Everything I got drunk I'd find myself seeking out hookups with other guys. Eventually, enough of those hookups happened that it normalized for me and I became more secure in myself. Which has led me to being hedonistic.
 
Latent/ Hedonistic. Usual teen J/O's with friends. Some things I don't fully remember from my drinking days LOL! Have no interest in a relationship with other men. In a sexless marriage now but have urges for sex with other men for years. Probably should have acted on them in between marriages.

I'm definitely an alternating bisexual. Of course when I'm in a relationship, the siren's song of hedonistic bisexuality is always there; but I do my best to ignore it. I try to avoid cheating on my partner, whoever that may happen to be.

Great post, I tend to see myself as fluid amongs the different types here listed.

If I had to stick to one, it would be hedonistic.

Isolated when it comes to cis-women...like decades ago.
Latent when it comes to transwomen in present day...I guess that'd make me more pansexual than bisexual?
Motivational when it comes to both...if he asks me to, I'm down.

Yes its possible to be a combination of types! ;)
