Bisexuality is having the emotional and/or physical capacity to have a sexual attrraction to both male and female members of the same species. Thus a bisexual person can be drawn to a male or female without much or any regard as to their genitalia. For some it is an equal 50-50 and for some they may have a slight preference towards either gender on a seven-point sliding scale known as the Kinsey Scale. Attraction can also include hermaphrodites but this is not always the case.
