If you are talking about a person who thinks they are bi but has never had sex with one (or both) of the sexes, sexual orientation isn't about who a person has or has not had sex with, it has everything to do with who that person feels sexually attracted to. Determining if another person is bi can be difficult. I don't know how Robert drew the conclusion he did unless the women he dated were open about it. > And who would 'pure' heterosexuals be? People who find homo-sexuality > repulsive? No, I think he simply meant that the person feels no sexual attraction to members of the same sex. That doesn't require feeling repulsed by it. As a matter of fact, there is a good chance that a person that actually feels repulsed by homosexuality probably feels that way because they are sublimating doubt about their own sexual orientation, and I would question the "purity" of their heterosexuality. I think Robert's estimates may be a bit high, though, if he really thinks bisexuals might outnumber heterosexuals.
