bi-curious
Exploring same-sex attraction
Bi-curious describes someone who identifies as heterosexual or homosexual but is curious about sexual experiences with people of a different gender than they're typically attracted to.
The term often implies openness to experimenting rather than a settled bisexual identity: She listed herself as bi-curious on her dating profile.
Common in personal ads and dating apps.
