In this week's Sex Talk Realness, four anonymous women get real about what it's really like to be a bisexual female in this day and age. Woman A: Twenty-eight. Woman B: Twenty-one. Woman C: Twenty-two. Woman A: I had my first sexual experience when I was 8 with a girl, but I never really thought of it as "bad" or "gay" or even unusual. I never thought of myself as a straight person either.
