Bisexuality is defined in many sources as romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females. It is also defined as the attraction to more than one gender, to people of both the same and different genders, or to people regardless of their sex or gender identity (the last one also being called pansexuality).
