This patient who is sexually attracted to both men and women is most likely bisexual.

Sexual orientation describes who one is sexually attracted to and who they feel romantically drawn towards. Individuals can be asexual, meaning that they are not drawn to either men or women, bisexual, meaning that they are drawn to both men and women, homosexual, meaning that they are drawn to the same sex as themselves, and heterosexual, meaning that they are drawn to the opposite sex as themselves. These categories are no longer in the diagnostic and statistical manual for mental disorders (DSM) and are recognized to be part of the normal spectrum of human experience.

The committee on measuring sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation wrote a guidance paper recommending that the national institutes of health collect information on these factors as a default in all research studies.
