My world can be very confusing. I will look at women in public but almost never men. I enjoy sex with both men and women and find pros and cons with each. Have been emotionally involved with both, but don't like the inherent games men and women play with each other. On the man to man side, I once fell in love with a man, but absolutely could not be one of those gay couples getting married that you see in the NYT.
It's a strange world to occupy, and like you, would like to find a partner to have a committed relationship. What sex that person will be I have no idea.

There's nothing wrong with thinking about it and trying to label it, and maybe there would be an emotional benefit, but it's not clear from your question whether it's worth the effort.

In my 20s I experimented with a couple of women but found I was not interested sexually when it came time to do sexual acts with them I didn’t like it. even though I find looking at women sexually arousing. So I exclusively dealt with men thereafter.
With men I like having sex with them but I am not emotionally attracted to men. I know not all men are the same, but there are a lot of similarities and the older I get the more turned off by men’s personalities. I don’t know if this may actually be me being turned off by sexism, but either way men just do not satisfy me emotionally in relationships. I do like women emotionally.
I would really like to find a partner and have been thinking maybe me classifying myself as straight was incorrect? Is there some other name for a person like me? Or the type of person I would work well in a relationship with?
