Physical Attraction Cycles?

Oh, yes! I also experience feeling more attracted to one gender at various times, like a cycle. I don't think I'll have a problem with a monogamous relationship, but I do tend to vary in who I want to look at more.

But at the same time, I am interested in men and women in different ways, so the cycle doesn't make it exactly the same for me to prefer one over the other. 

to OP: do u mean at different times of the monthly cycle... or do u just mean random behaviour that seems to be cyclical ... ?

I personally am more inclined towards women in general but from time to time, I'll catch myself crushing on a man. I didn't observe any pattern in the timing though, but a significant amount of the bisexuals I know or have ever talked to about it did say that they experience variations and cycles in their sexual attraction.

So you mean like during seasonal changes or mood swings you change up your attraction? Sort of comprehending sort of not totally lost me. 

One day I might like a gorgeous femme, the next I might crush on a pretty boi or a MTF who knows whatever catches my eye I go for it. I seriously believe there are no rules to attraction, you like what you like and if someone says anything screw them because they are jealous and insecure nutbags.

Matt's world you just live in it!

So its def not a seasonal thing, but I feel as if there are times where I will intentionally look for women and there are times that I intentionally look for men. I mean if there happens to be a ton of attractive people... hell I look at them all. But I suppose I am coming from a relationship standpoint, I tend to look at either one gender or the other in that initial period of getting to know someone. Does that make any sense? apologies if it doesn't, I am still trying to figure myself out ;)

Granted, as soon I think I've nailed down a type that I like (so I can explain it to people), I start crushing on someone who totally doesn't match the description anyway. XD

But yeah, it seems to go in cycles that last between 6 months and a year each, where I will go from being a 2 on the Kinsey scale, to a 5, then back again. Like ArtOfMe says, it doesn't mess with established relationships--you don't stop liking a woman you're already with simply because you've started noticing more men--but it can be a little disconcerting when you notice yourself doing it. Now that I've gone through a few of these cycles, I'm convinced that it's perfectly normal.

I have the exact same thing.  Actually, for most of my life, I've been more into guys.  It wasn't until recently that I felt more attracted to women and haven't had that much interest in men.  I look at them and don't feel anything lately.  But at the same time, I find that I'm way more picky with women.  It's rare when I actually really like a woman that I actually know in person (who isn't a celebrity).  Actually, most of my crushes are on celebrities because I can just never find a girl in real life that I find appealing in a romantic way. 

 But yeah, I totally go through cycles.  Sometimes I feel very straight and sometimes I feel very bisexual, and sometimes I don't have any interest in anyone from either gender at all.  It's all very complex and I don't know where it comes from. 

Oh my! Yes, sometimes I am more "in the mood" for males, than females. And then sometimes I wonder what I saw in males.

I did have feelings for girls a lot when I was very young... I didn't know what bisexuality or even what a lesbian was then, so I just ignored it and assumed I should go for guys. It's only over the past year or so, after kissing girls and wanting more of it - along with looking back over the first meaningful relationship I had with a guy - that I have begun to accept that being attracted to women is nothing to be ashamed of; and I shouldn't try and suppress it like I did before.

I know I like girls

And I thought I was a lesbian and I liked a girl but she didnt like me back and I could not get over her and I couldnt look at any other girl  so thats when I started thinking [again] that maybe I was bi

So ya I get the cycle... If I do like a guy and couldnt get over him Id probably go back to girls till I got over him... even though thats kinda weird...

Is that wrong to switch genders just because you cant get over one ?

only kinda realised it when i read your post!

but yes.. it often depends on who i have a crush on at the time.. then i tend to notice that gender more.. even what tv show i'm following at the time or music can be a factor!!

very interesting question :)
