I'm 32 years old woman and I'm 90 percent heterosexual. But I'm think I'm 10 percent bi because sometimes I think about lesbian erotica and I have looked at lesbian porn before. I've never been in a relationship with another female and won't ever will be. But am I 10 percent bi or just bicurious?

I'd say "Bi-Curious" for the reasons you described.

Yep....Bi-curious.

Unless you feel like you want to kiss a woman intensely.

I think it is really up to you how you want to define yourself. There aren't hard and fast rules around this. I used to identify strictly as lesbian but had some fantasies about men. Once I actually had sex with a man, I realized that "bisexual" fit me more accurately. It is ok if you don't know how to describe yourself right now. :)

Lots of straight females have lesbian fantasies or watch lesbian porn. Does it make them, you, bi of some sort? You'll have your answer. But you said that you don't want to be in a relationship with a woman.

How about "human". You're just being a human. If you fancy a bit of the same sex once in awhile, so what, why does it need a label?

it doesn't, but putting words on one's feelings can be important for some.

You are indeed bi-curious.

Sexuality is fluid, not neatly divided into homosexual/heterosexual/bisexual. There are so many things that fit around and in between these labels. Personally I dislike the term "bicurious".

Many people have some degree of same-sex attraction, even if it is not to the extent that they would wish to act on their fantasies or would consider dating someone of the same/opposite sex. But labels are convenient, and people in your case most often identify as heterosexual even if that's not technically 100% true in my opinion, for if you were 100% heterosexual then you would have no attraction to the same sex whatsoever. I believe very few people to be in this boat. However, how you identify is entirely up to you. Some people find that their same and opposite-sex attractions fluctuate.
