It seems to me that there could logically be two sorts of bisexuals::

	1. A person who has separate sexual desires for males and females,
	which is what Hanson assumes above.

	2. A person with a single sexual desire that can be satisfied by
	both males and females.

[For the purposes of this discussion, by "bisexual" I mean a person who
has SIGNIFICANT sexual attraction to both females and males. To leave
out the "significant" would, if Kinsey is right, mean including nearly
everyone under the category "bisexual". And of course, there must be plenty
of bisexuals even under this narrower definition, but out of homophobia
or whatever, they chose to get married and not deal with their
homosexual desires.]

Any bisexual netters out there? Are you of type 1 or of type 2 above?
