Dear Diana,
I'm 22 and studying. While growing up, people used to ask me if I was gay. Over the years, I have come to realise that I am attracted to men as well as women. I get turned on by attractive girls and at the same time have the hots for my beefy pals. I get turned on when I see guys working out in the gym. Is something wrong with me?

Dear Prachand,
You are a bisexual. A bisexual person is attracted to people of his/her own gender as well as of the opposite gender. Bisexual people have the capacity to be in relationships with people of different sexes. You may, however, be under a lot of pressure how to explain to people about your sexual preferences. People's attitudes to bisexuality are confused, for them a person is either heterosexual or a homosexual, but there are many out there like you who are attracted to both men and women — though the intensity may differ.

Dear Diana,
I am a 34-year-old woman and not married. I always thought that I would tie the knot by 27. But it never happened. In December I will be 35 and there is too much pressure on me to wed. My folks tell me that my biological clock is clicking. I now fear that I am too old to get married. Every single day the only talk is when I will find Mr Right. I really do not know what to do and I am willing to marry anyone now.
