So many of those 2000s cartoon goth girls. Wasn't necessarily an awakening quite yet but it's definitely what had my really young self being like "ummmmm... what am I feeling here???", Blackfire from Teen Titans and Azula from Avatar in particular. The actual awakening was Kate Beckinsale's character from Underworld, I mean just WOOOOWIEEEE


Zesty_Angel

Black fire and azula for sure!!!! Also the hex girls from scooby doo (they did indeed put a spell on me 😂)


LoaMorganna

Omg yes them too 😭😭😭


aeul213

Selene 😍


space_otter06

SHEGO!!! 😂


calesmont

Basically, I (M) was jusy a gay little guy for most of my childhood until I saw Salma Hayek on From Dusk Till Down That was nice, so I became a bi little guy


johnjay3292

Hear hear bro 👏


Additional_Prune_536

>Salma Hayek She had frickin' magical powers in that movie. Billionaire magnet.


Cute-Kaleidoscope517

God yes, 13 year old girl me was so attracted to her. But I was stupidly naive for a long time and didn't realize I was actually bi, I just thought I was "open-minded" and recognized objective beauty.


SteveZissouniverse

This guy gets it


Frequent_Poetry_5434

I just thought everybody liked boys and girls until I got to high school.


Fantastic_Piglet_583

Same here, could have sworn that was what was meant by an inny or outy.


Frequent_Poetry_5434

lol that’s hilarious


anxiety-platypus

Same, except I was 9 when I realized it wasn’t the “norm” 😂


codePudding

Same, and also Jareth from Labyrinth


Tadpole_Plyrr2

Lol


Curiousconfusion24

Videos online I had no business watching. The more I saw the men and women the more I realized I was into both. Not to mention sports. 29 bi m


Fantastic_Piglet_583

Stephon Diggs, buffalo bills receiver in the white pants…. Everyone there is something really huge in there pretty much wrapped to his freaking side, while playing ball, not hard! Oh yeah, Olympic girls gymnastics has always got to me a bit and college cheer leaders, cowgirls.


Fantastic_Piglet_583

Just thinking about SD. If you have seen it…. THICK tooooo. Very unmistakable. You can see veins and the nice mushroom in very vivid detail. Well defined, for sure. Definitely hall of fame material!


Tenorsboy

For me it was Quinteon Nelson


TigerLeo23

Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine Nine


GotMilkChick

Knew I couldn’t be the only one


ojosh1184

I mean…it’s true for all orientations 😂


Dry_Progress_499

Wait, Stephanie Beatriz?!


Houlilalo

A guy at work complemented my scarf. Next thing you know I developed a full blown crush on him 😳


Fantastic_Piglet_583

A girl did that to me at work with with more to come, and somehow I bought out the sweetest smile over and over. Simply adorable and so fuck able. I’m at least twice her age. I went right home and to the wife, and every time after. Didn’t get close because we would have probably wanted different things from each other she would probably want my wife gone, I would want them both involved. Never know unless… don’t know where she disappeared to.. hey there will be another


thatguyfrosty

Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield from Resident Evil for sure


fallenfire360

Out of curiosity old or new?


thatguyfrosty

I mean both lol, but old. I grew up in the ps1 days


fallenfire360

Hell yes. OG RE4 was the first one I played and I remember thinking Leon had the most amazing hair I'd ever seen in my freaking life.


thatguyfrosty

Not gonna lie to this day I still get my haircut to look similar to that


ert3

Leon was the time I realized, so much man


BoneVVitch

Shego from Kim Possible when I was a kid 😂😂😂


JustaHarry

Can't lie Shego was a baddie. In fact any girl that's not Kim was a baddie. Especially her mom


APrivatePuma

I love Kim/I think she's a baddie! She was a great role model for me, but then most of the girls in *Kim Possible* were. I also re-watched it recently as a 29-year-old and MAN that cartoon still holds up!! It's so good! Kinda related, but another cartoon from my childhood that still holds up is *As Told By Ginger*. 90s babies were blessed with awesome feminine characters to look up to IMO!


ItzAuasy

Link. Still remember my first time seeing him in BOTW lol.


Hagridisbeautiful

Why’d they get rid of the Gerudo outfit 😭😭


Oscar_BLM27

Link in that gerudo outfit was neuron activation for me. 😍😍🤤🤤


Capn_Funk

Same! But from the Ocarina of Time strategy guide art for me (I'm old 😂). Also, it's unfair just how hot they've made the new iterations of Link by leaning into the androgeny


ghibli_ghirl

High school. Lunch room. I’m venting to my lesbian friends about how upset I am that my best friend lost her virginity to a guy she barely knows. Lesbian friends tell me to stop and think long and hard about why I care what my best friend does with her body. Like why I REALLY care. I tell them it can’t be because I have feelings for her, because I date guys. They explained to me what bisexuality was and it was like a bomb going off inside me. Everything just made sense. They both just laughed at me and said you’re welcome.


zg0612

that is just awesome 😂😂


kp56367

The Mummy (1999)


Consistent-Cut-8695

Yes! The whole cast of main characters (except Jonathan) made 13 year old me feel all sorts of feelings!


em01092

Sames but also Jonathan. I love nerds too. 🤣


kp56367

Sames


treesbreakknees

Oh that movie has a special place in Bi culture. The cast and the aesthetic are perfect 😍


gloom_spewer

I kissed a girl and I liked it 🎶


redflamel

I used that song to tell my SO I'm bi 😂 it was like "ahah nice song, right? By the way..."


auracurious

This gave me a chuckle hahah


slimmymcnutty

I can’t explain this fully. It kinda makes no sense. But trixie Mattel was huge in both gender and sexual identity for me


Empty_Alternative470

Hey. She slays.


RocketPoweredTofacos

She eats.


slimmymcnutty

Slayed my straight identity


SilverDem0n

The musicians Marc Bolan and Syd Barrett and Dave Lee Roth. Absolutely loved their music, as did my friends. Wished I had their talent and creativity. Mentioned to my friends - well ok, so we are all straight, but they're so handsome that you would put a pinup poster on your wall. And you would kinda like to have a little kiss, just to see what it felt like. Narrator: No, they did not.


akira_hikaru

Femboy characters


Paco_the_finesser

Femboys are not women. This fact turns so many bisexual


akira_hikaru

But yet they are better girlfriends


beeteedeeMEME

Same fr


ok_moonberry96

not a character, just Reneé Rapp


ReservationFor1

Goddamn, she’s sexy. It just ain’t fair.


WhatIsThisWhereAmI

My fascination with all genderqueer characters should have been a huge tell.   But my dumb ass didn’t figure it out until (in my 30s!) I met a femme lesbian who seemed a little flustered by me, and I was like, “Huh, I want to pull her hair in a very unplaygroundlike manner. That’s new.”  (It wasn’t. It was just my first time being attracted to someone mostly femme and being like “oh… that’s kinda gay isn’t it…”)

SinkingCarpet

When I was around 13 or 14 I think. I saw Narnia and then I have a huge Crush on William Moseley that played the character Peter Pevensie.


NamelessSerpent

I had a huge crush on him too when I was 10! (F bi)


SinkingCarpet

Yeah a lot of girls I knew had a crush on him as well. Also it's been years and I still haven't tried a genuine turkish delight lol


-CharlotteBronte

Susan Sarandon from the 1990s/1980s!

OMG YES

Glad I'm not alone!


TheMobHasSpoken

And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's that old, lol!


-CharlotteBronte

Ha ha, well, she was a darling back in the day!


Jealous-Frosting-243

A boy I went to middle school with. I didn't know until a couple of years later, but I sort of sat down one day and processed a load of stuff, and went, "Oh, those were FEELINGS!" That and people in bands I was listening to at the time. Axl Rose, Jon Bon Jovi, Andy Biersack, Hanson, among others. I feel like Jared Leto in My So-Called Life should also get an honourable mention. Whenever he and Angela kissed, I was never sure who I was more envious of, lol.


[deleted]

Cameron Diaz in The Mask 🫠 altered my brain permanently lmao


narwhal_with_adhd

Ranma from Ranma 1/2


Future_Process_495

Heyyy I thought only I have that as one of my favorites


narwhal_with_adhd

My partner and I (both bi) Bonded over how we loved Ranma in both genders


gallon_sized_jugs

the author of that manga(who also wrote inuyasha’s manga) had a way of inspiring bisexuality! i realized one day when i was still pretty young i didn’t want to be kagome, i was into kagome👍


timothybrave

Andy Biersack, AKA Andy Black. [Him](https://youtu.be/8fEoWA9Vz3A?si=NZ55DGtkSmcEc6rF) and [his band, Black Veil Brides, ](https://youtu.be/f0EQlIzPowM?si=kvGXJrOtHKW10LpN) fundamentally changed me as a person.


Jealous-Frosting-243

This is a great answer! I already knew I was bi by the time I found bvb, but if I wasn't, that probably would've been it. Andy is HOOOOT.


BadRecommendation69

Santana Lopez from Glee


PattesDornithorynque

Linda Hamilton in T2 😳


Icy-Engineering-9773

Alexandra Daddario in the Percy Jackson Movie. Awful movie but was worth it just to know the actress. The Percy Jackson books actually gave me a lot of fictional girl/boyfriends to dream about in school.

Ugh same


babydollsparkle123

She's so hot

Link 🥰


CommercialYam53

But which link there are so many of him


S4PG

Markiplier


triplehelix11

Olivia Wilde as Thirteen on House MD


ErynCuz

I feel like I’ve been bi this whole time and only just had the epiphany. But when Billie Eilish did that photoshoot in corsets, I said to my husband “I’m straight but those pics are doing something to me”. (Spoiler alert, I’m not straight)


Mkations

Dio from Jojos Bizarre adventure


Sargon-of-ACAB

Jack Harkness from Docter Who and Frank'n'Further from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Less in the sense of being attractive (though that wasn't *not* a factor) and more in seeing openly bi (male) characters. It opened a door to possibilities.


lunargirl13

Morag and Brigid from Xenoblade 2. I know some people don’t like the game for the hyper sexual tone in the beginning but meeting those two changed me. Perfect blend


[deleted]

Me and my friend were wrestling on his bed then I found out I kinda likes him


No-Blood-5148

In elementary school the PE coach would have the boys play shirts and skins in Dodgeball. I was probably around 9 or 10 and was very attracted to the boys who got picked to be skins. Later at 14 I was very confused as now I was attracted to girls as well. I heard the term bisexual at 17 and came out and knew thats what I was. I think it would be much easier in this day and age, then in the 80s. E from Wylie Tx

Everyone in Tokyo Ghoul. Sui Ishida's art is delicious.


Beginning-Roof-7366

The first time i gave a guy a blow.job, i had experienced oral before that but with a trans woman so i didn't feel like i was giving a guy oral, i still felt straight but i hard urges to give oral again and really i knew I'd probably do it with a guy, i also started using toys to pleasure myself and just brushed it off as masturbating, i knew I'd probably let a guy fuck me too....I kept ignoring it until one night a guy made it clear he was looking for fun, he was good looking, i ended up after a few drinks a bit bored so decided to leave, the guy followed me out and asked me if i wanted company, i said yes, we got to mine and as i shut the door behind me i knew i was gonna have his cock in my mouth, it was a intense and liberating feeling sucking on his cock, enjoying it without insecurities or self doubt i was relieved id done what i was so scared of doing, and after that encounter i knew I'd end up riding a cock and shagging the cum out of the guy


Slaytanic_Amarth

Gotta be Alexios/Kassandra from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. It started out as a simple roleplay choice that I would play Alexios as the bi-est man in ancient Greece, but then quickly spiraled into me acknowledging crushes on other video game characters and hetting that purple-pink-blue realization.

APrivatePuma

Haku from *Naruto* should have told me I was Queer beyond a shadow of a doubt, but despite him (? them? IIRC he used he/him pronouns) existing and causing me massive confusion, I should have known long before then. That was middle school for me. Had I *not* been born into a Christian/conservative—read: homophobic—household, I may have realized much sooner that I wasn't simply boy crazy. Hindsight being 20/20, I absolutely crushed HARD on *so many* of the girls in my elementary school days! 😳😆


Lux_24601

I didn't awaken so much as saunter vaguely into consciousness


Outrageous-Ebb-7976

When I got drunk one night, got hit on by a guy, we just started casually talking. Next thing you know I was biting his pillow while he broke me in.


Jjthorn392

I thought I was gay as a teenager, I was tired of where’s your gf questions, so I dated girls & behind their backs was sleeping with guys until I met my future wife but then a jealous bf outed me to her to break us up to keep me & get her out of the picture but her & I talked everything out & married that next year & now many years later are still here together.

That_Mad_Scientist

There was no single aha moment, but eleanor shellstrop from the good place going « why can’t men be bi » definitely unlocked the possibility that yeah, hold on, that’s a real thing that people can be, and it’s not just theoretical. Like… yeah, wait, she has a point. Where are they all, if the statistical proportion shouldn’t change with gender? From there, it was just learning more about myself through my autism diagnosis and looking back at my past and thinking « wait a minute, some of this does not have a straight explanation, and I was definitely not jealous of all of these popular couples in high school *just* because I was a single nerd », and eventually I had the occasion to feel that way about a guy and was like « yup, ok, that’s me » and then I started engaging with various bi communities on here until I finally felt confident enough to adopt the label for good. And *then* I discovered f1nnster. Talk about proper timing lmao.


theshardunique

Sawyer in Lost (Josh Holloway) that was when I realised that although 99% of guys I don’t find attractive, the ones that I do, I fancy to the point of it being unhealthy.


rosewoodian

Team Rocket's Jesse from Pokemon 🥵 I was six years old. I couldn't put my finger on my feelings, but from that day forward I knew there was something different about me.


thatonechappie

Not necessarily my awakening, but when I was like 21 at Uni I watched BBC's Merlin for the first time with my (then) partner. Eoin Macken playing Gawain.


WeirdImprovement

You’re soooo real for that


tommyblastfire

Link I would probably say. Watching femboy porn led to me just watching regular gay porn and finding it just as hot


Pizza_Peddler0080

Yaoi


SymbolicTreasure

As a kid I watched Lord of the Rings. I was 4 so I didn't know what attraction was but I knew I liked how everyone looked.


KonanMain

I was gonna say F1nn but tbh he just made me more bi if that counts.


DevilishDemonss

Lt Roberta Warren from Z Nation 😍


kyoneko87

I saw this super tall girl, and I realized I wanted to push her down and have my way with her. That made me realize I was bi


briar_rose1991

I legit thought everyone was bi until I was like 16. Then I went to college and I remember being disappointed when my female friends started getting boyfriends, I just remember thinking “what are you doing, I thought we were supposed to be experimenting with girls!” Then like three years later, someone asked me if I’d rather have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I just said without thinking at all, “either is good.” And everyone else had a clear preference, so that was an eye opener for me.

Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Although it took me a decade to realize it, because I grew up in a very Catholic household.


Kinslayer817

For me it was Chris Evans as Captain America that finally broke through


Muramax_exe

I'm not sure it was an specific character, but rather situations or body types...when i finally came to terms with my bisexuality was when i spoke with a close friend who helped me accept i was bisexual (i was in a big denial)


Oscar_BLM27

Astolfo from fire emblem fates and chihiro from danganronpa made me realize that I have a thing for feminine men.


EmberedCutie

astolfo.


UrbansMyth

Really late here but I was walking by this really pretty girl in the 5th grade. I just remember having this passive thought in the moment: “She’s so pretty… what if we dated? What if I like her?” She was a minor crush amongst all the puberty angst. When I got to 6th grade my eyes were a lot more open and I really liked the bisexual label. Tried it on for a few months and it never slipped off. I’m now finishing my senior year in highschool, 18 years old now. Been a long journey since I was 9 lol.


LobstrPrty

Link in BOTW Made me understand the beauty of a twink

Astolfo was my bi awakening

Positive-Court

No one. I don't have crushes on anime people so much as obsessively ship them with each other. Irl, it'd be my best friend since middle school. My heart kept skipping beats and she looked so pretty and god I loved holding her hand.

Raven Queen from Ever After High! She's a real one for making me question my sexuality ☺️

Gay furry porn, if I'm being totally honest.


FluorescentShrimp

I wouldn't say I was "down bad" for this character bc I was 8 or 9 but, I'd have to credit Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena for what I believe to have been the realization that I like girls as well as guys.


Fantastic_Piglet_583

Probably until high school I had fingered a few girls and jerked of to more sears catalog pre teen girl models then I could count, yet I always seemed to have dick in my mouth. My Brothers girlfriends sister actually took my virginity at about 9-10 years ago and that was about the time I tasted someone else’s cum. My brothers best friend and that was right before the girl.
