Do you experience the "bi-cycle"?

Yeah, I do. And I guess I've been noticing it more recently than anything. But I'm usually stable in the middle of Kinsey at 3, and I haven't really noticed the "bi-cycle" for most of my life. Which, based on my past year, makes me think that at it's core the cycle is at least partly psychological as much as as it's a physiological response. So one's life experiences(with males or females like you have described) can have an effect on it. It's... libido, I think; Which fluctuates separately for each sex, because neither sex can entirely substitute for the other, at least in my case.

Also, I think bi's tend to notice the fluctuations more because of the juxtaposition of the 2 libidos(to men and women). When one increases/decreases relative to the other we may just notice that change, and perhaps even chalk it up to having a "fluid" sexual orientation. But yeah, I also don't think it's anything remotely that dramatic or fundamental. No bi alive is suddenly going to be morphing to another sexuality anytime soon.
