I used to think I was bi, but then I realized I have a PREFERENCE for men. If I enjoy sex with women, but at the same time I enjoy sex with men more, then I think this should be what I stick with. And then I did. I also lost almost all my attraction for women as well after some time. I think a lot of people who are bisexual do so because of societal pressures to not be fully "gay".
A friend of mine made a good point, although some people may find this ignorant. He believes that no one is truly bisexual, and that you would definitely have a preference. Once I heard this, it hit me like a brick, and I KNEW that I had a preference. I wasn't bi, I was actually gay and being bi was just my defence mechanism for being gay. I realized I had considered myself bi because I figured I could still be with a woman someday, get married and have kids and satisfy my parents, etc. Just give it some time and figure out what you actually enjoy. What do you think of something like this?
A theory that strikes me as much more likely is that we're all bisexual (like plenty of simian species in the wild), but societal pressure by both straight & gay society make those without confidence to choose one or the other...very much like you did.
It would also explain a lot more, like why sexuality can drift (no, it's not confusion, other than confusion over why wants something, which includes a boy confused over why he likes boys and not girls) as well as why many gays & hets have one night stands and even flings with someone of the gender they're not used to, or even why a straight woman suddenly falls heads over heels for a woman and a lesbian for a man (both of which I've known to happen).
ETA: I don't mean to endorse this theory, only that it strikes me as more likely to be true.
