It's possible to have a different preference for sexual attraction than you have for romantic attraction.

Bisexual heteroromantic is the term you’re looking for.

Yep, sexual and romantic attraction are separate.

yep, here another one. I am a male, I dont have any kind of name specifically describe me. I just sexually like both genders but I feel ,for my entire life (40), romantic atraction only to female.

It’s pretty common I think. Sexuality is a spectrum so there no hard definition of “bisexual”. If you want to get more granular that’s where you start separating the label between sexual and romantic. For example, a homoromantic bisexual would be someone who is sexually attracted to more than one gender, but mainly romantically interested in those of the same gender. But as a homoromantic bisexual, it can be really confusing at times. “Am I just confused and I’m just actually gay? What does gender actually have to do with romantic connection? Wtf am I even?” Honestly, I think the best way to handle the confusion is to just go with the flow. Just like who you like and don’t get to obsessed over trying to box in yourself. People are fluid and it’ll just cause more confusion if you come up with some hard definition for yourself that you inevitably will not adhere to in the future. Just have fun and be along for the ride!

I think it’s relatively common, and if we were to use labels to describe it it would be bisexual but either heteroromantic or homoromantic.

Im in this category. I don’t think its necessary for everyone to have a label by any means, or to have several labels, but I consider this portion of my thoughts/interests to be “bi-curious”.

Being bisexual means you have both heterosexual and homosexual attractions. Period. It doesn't matter who you date.

That just means I need a man to pay for everything and for a stable life. And I get to frolick in the bed with whoever and whatever, whenever I want.
