Bisexual

Bisexual means having sexual attraction towards both male and female sexes ^[1].

The Kinsey Scale ranks people on a scale from 0, meaning exclusively heterosexual, to 6, meaning exclusively homosexual. People ranked from 2 to 4 are often classed as bisexual,^[2] while the range from 1 to 5 is more commonly recognised by bisexual advocates and organisations ^[3].
