Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is not possible. In my clinical experience, Sometime bisexual persons confuse themselves as homosexual in initial sexual exposure. In that case they can have normal relation with opposite sex.
So, do not get stressed and accept yourself as god have made you, as orientation is not in your hand.
Take care
No
