Sexuality exists on a spectrum, imo.
There are a few people who are totally straight, a few who are totally gay, but the vast majority fall somewhere in the middle. I do not feel that sexuality is a binary for most people. Of course, I could be completely wrong. I’m no scientist.
Labels are just succinct words/phrases that try to give people some approximate idea of where we fall on a handful of vast spectrums. They’re not meant to be 100% accurate.
I’m probably pansexual, but I tell people I’m bi because that’s a word most people are familiar with. And even then I’m like 80-90% into women. So I don’t really fit neatly into the bisexual box, but that label conveys enough relevant information.

I know everyone says it, but labels are pretty useless.
Even terms like “masculine” and “feminine” hold so much dumb baggage they’re both functionally useless.
I know guys who want to be subservient to pretty girls, and girls who want stocky girls to dominate them.
Sexuality doesn’t fit neatly into boxes, even in the best of circumstances - so much of it is contextual, and is pointless to attempt to pin down.
