Not venturing off with a man for a long period of time doesn't make one not bisexual. A bisexual is someone who experiences attraction to both sexes, however, it's rarely 50/50. Someone who primarily prefers one sex, but incidentally has attractions to the other, is still by definition bisexual.

Women have a higher incidence of bisexuality than men it would seem. Your anecdote in no way indicates she chose to change her attractions. If she had romantic/sexual relations with both sexes, she's bisexual. She may prefer women, and only incidentally is attracted to men, but she's still bisexual.

You can't choose who you're attracted to. It's not a voluntary process.

I would never call a "man raper" a homosexual to his face. That wouldn't be prudent.

Possibly a latent heterosexual.

It always seemed strange to me since we talked alot about the subject. Initially she was attracted to men and after an abusive relationship a women came into her life and she was with her, after some time with her and others she went back to men. When I asked her about it she basically agreed that it was strictly an emotional attachment the sex of the person was not that important
