Ahem *molbigirl* {cough cough}
Well, without looking around a bit in pubmed, I can only speak from experience.
I don't know any bi boys. I know lots of bi girls. And most bi girls I know are just a smidge gay or straight ... some like boys just a bit more and some like girls just a bit more.
ABE
Only 1/3 of lesbian respondents stated that they were 100% attracted to women. The remainder ranged from 50 to 95 percent attracted to women, tending strongly toward a predominance of homosexual over heterosexual feelings. In contrast, bisexual respondents covered the entire range of feelings of sexual attraction, excluding both extremes of 100% attraction to either sex. Homosexual and heterosexual feelings were not equally distributed among bisexual respondents; 61% reported predominantly homosexual feelings while 22% reported predominantly heterosexual feelings. In sum, exclusively homosexual feelings were unique to lesbian respondents and predominantly heterosexual feelings were unique to bisexual respondents. However, most lesbian respondents and most bisexual respondents shared a nonexclusive preference for women.

Now where is the result of lesbian respondance and their attraction to men?
If I'm reading this paper right, it sounds like "50 to 95 percent attracted to women" means the remainder of the lesbians (the other 2/3s) ranged from 50% attracted to women (it's a toss up ... they like men and women equally) to 95% attracted to women (95% of time attracted to women and 5% of time attracted to men).
