BiCurious

Bicurious describes a person, usually someone who identifies as heterosexual, who is curious about or open to exploring attraction to a gender they have not been with before.

Bicurious, also written bi-curious, describes someone who mostly relates to one gender romantically or sexually but is curious about exploring attraction to another gender. The term is often used by people who identify as straight and are just beginning to question or explore, though anyone can use it. Being bicurious is not the same as being bisexual, since bisexuality is a settled orientation while bicuriosity centers on openness and exploration. It also does not have to be a phase or a stopping point on the way to another label. Many people find it a comfortable, no-pressure way to describe where they are.
